Prosperity of Labor,

Bryan In his letter OF acceptance had
something to say OF labor. but he was
not quite go outspoken as he was at
Milwaukee a few weeks ago. In that
thriving and industrious. city he had
thn monumental check to observe that
the workingmen were worse off than
they ever nc been before and that the
Republican claim OF prosperity was \
delusion. ut is merely n question"
said Mr., Bryan. quoting from some agi-
tator approvingly. whether working
men starve TO death at work or starve
/, In idlcness."
II is hard TO believe that n man In hts
right senses will give expression to such
rot. To whom does Mr.. Bryan address
himself with the hope OF inspiring belief
in such nonsense7 Surely not to the
men who had 4 dose OF free trade and
soup houses In the latter part OF Cleve-
lands administration. TO contound
Bryan we have only to call upon expert
testimony. Mr.. Samuel Gompers. prcs!-
dent OF the American Federation OF La
Dor. In his annual report In 1896. he
said: Since August OF 1898. We have
been In the greatest industrial dcpres-
slon the country has ever experienced.
It Is RIO exaggeration TO say that moro
than 100000 OF our fellow tollers
throughout the country are without en-
ployment. Never before In the history
OF the world have so large number OF
people vainiy sought for IN opportunity
10 earn n livelihood and contribute TO
the support OF their fellows"
With the election or Mckinley, how
ever. n new day dawned on the in
dustrial world. for the same preslirn, in
his annual report OF 1897. held out this
hope TO the toilcr: THAT terrible period
for tho wage carners OF this country
which began in 1893 and which has left
behind II such record OF horror, hun.
ger ana misery. practically ended with
the dawn OF the year 1897. Wages Ind
been steadily forced down from 1893 iii
toward the end OF 1895. and 1; was yar,.
ousiy estimated that between 1900 900

SHORT HISTORY OF BRYAN.

A Neighbours Investigations Give
the Following Striking Result.
From o private letter from Lincoln,
Neb.. to q citizen of New York: Bryan
came here about 1885. having Just been
admitted to the bar. He was then
about twenty-five years old. During
the next three years he attempted to
practice law. did as much as any young
lawyer. O stranger In a new state.
would be expected to do. bu. his prac-
tice was confined mostly TO cases before
the Justice OF the peace and before the
county court. where the Jurisdiction IL
limited to $500. Think he probably had
few cases in the district court. but the
district Judge. who was on the bench ct
that time, told me to-day that during
the entire three years that he attempted
to pracice law he did not appear before
him in court more than three or four
times and, as he puts it. had absolutely
no practice whatever. at the end OF
the three years he was candidate for
Congress from this district; was elected
and served four years. Since that time
he has not attempted to maintain any
law office here. but has been travelling
over the country making political
speeches.
When he came here he was not
worth anything.
u understand his fathcr-in-law built
him q house that probably cos; $500,
ana at the time he entered politics. l
do not suppose he was worth $500. AS
far as any one here knows, he Is in that
same financial condition to-day. l
think 1t is generally thought that he
has made some money by speaking and
lecturing and on his book. He may
have had considerable money given him
by his free silver friends, but II so,therc
is no evidence OF 1t.
He was forty years old last March.
He has never been retained In any
case of Importance and Is not consia-
cred anything OF a lawyer.
He has never even served as alder
man in our city council.
He has never had any experience in
our legislature.
III he Is fitted to assume the duties Of
the President of this country, the great
est nation on earth, then the idea that
l have always had for that office, has
been an Illusion.
His stock In trade is that he is n
smooth talker. especially before the or
binary political crowd. who gather dur
ing an exciting political campaign. He
studies TO work UP catchy, high-sound-
Ing expressions like Thou shalt not
press down upon the brow OF labor this
cross OF gold and crown of tho.ns' ond
his rot on imperialism and milI,arism.
THAT is all there is to him: he is a
political agitator, utterly unqualified
and untitled to be placed In the presi-
dental chair. l cannot think for n
moment there Is any danger of such u
thing happening"

HAfter ali that has been said" In
quIres the Springfield Union. what
would the election of Bryan profit you?
Would you get more money for your
work? Would your chances for cni-
ployment be better? Would your horne
and your position be any more secure?
Would the country be any more pros
porous? Would you be paid in any bet
ter money than YOU are now receiving?
Would the flag Of your country be more
honored 2" Think these things over.
