In the last printed interview of Mr..
Bryan, in which he again reaffirmed his
unyielding devotion TO the cause of the free
coinage of silver at the only ratio that any
friend of silver ever considered. he made
the following statement:
Prosperity? Well. IL we can secure the
votes of all those who have not had their
share Of the prosperity. we are willing 20
give the Republicans the votes of all those
who have received their share
II the Republicans were sure of the vote
of every man in the country whose sur
roundings are better now than they were
I'm 1886, when the conservative element
stood in fear OF his success, they would
have a walk-over in every State in the
Union. Mr.. Bryan himself would be
obliged to vote for Mr.. Mckinley on his
own evidence. Four years ago he was
scarcely taxpayer in his city and country.
Now, by his return of money holdings and
credits, he is the largest taxpayer in that
line in the city of Lincoln. Not many
months ago the cry OF labor famine was
scarcely a taxpayer in his city and county.
Now. nearly all the factories, employing
hundreds Of thousands more men than
were employed in 1896 are running full time.
There never has been a time when the labor
of the country was so fully employed at
so good wages as il has been during the
years 1898. 1899 and thus far in 1900. In
all the greater industries wages have been
advanced between Is and IS per cent
In all the new States, particularly in
Nebraska and Kansas, millions of dollars
of mortgages have been paid off that were
regarded as hopeless burden in 1896. The
value of live stock in Mr.. Bryan's own
State has increased 60 per cent. since 1895.
The prices of all the farm products, except
wheat. have advanced, as a comparison of
the quotations will show. Again it is a
good business to raise cattle and hogs for
the market. All the papers in the South
advocating Mr.. Bryan's election have been

ing the past two years. Go TO the retailers.

full if Mr.. Bryan would carry either Ar
