False prophecies made by Mr.. Bryan
in the campaign Of 1896:
If Mckinley aud the Republican
party are successful. and put IN power

and over the land the prices OF wheat
will 90 down and the prices OF gold VIII

export no more goods and we Will I'M
port from foreign lands all the goods
we use; thus will ruin, want and
misery be with rs.
Not content with ruin which ne pre-
dicted IN 1896 and the fact that his pre-
dicti0n was false, he now goes one step
further and predicts the comp'ete over
throw and ruin OF the Republic IN the
following words:
To-day we are engaged IN "a contTo-
versy which will determine whether we
are TO have republic IN which the gov
eminent derives lis just powers from
the consent Of the governed, or q"
empire in which brute force Is the only
recognized source of power. When such
an issue Is raised there can be only two
parties--the party, whatever its name
may be, which believes III a republic,
and party, whatever its name, which
believes IL an empire.

man would pay him the that was due for 1t.
The place is Winsted Depot and the owner is
Cephas Roberts The man who owed rent for six
months went away. and took with him
hay that belonged to Mr.. Roberts. in addition
TO the rent which he may may not have had. but
certainly did pay. Another tenant departed
similarly and also left note pinned to the door
which hurt Mr.. Roberts's feelings.
And now Mr.. Roberts is tired of honest men and
he is advertising for thief to take his farm. He
prefers an ex-convict. In order that there may be
no doubt about his character. 1t is grand chance
for some man who has just left prison with small
capital and it Is the better since 1t is understood
that Mr. Roberts does not about holding
any helping hand to a who wants TO lead
new and honest life. He a real thief-one
who was thief, is thief and means to be thief
He thinks that. with the experience he has had
he shall know how to look after such tenant. but
