grinding the people, simply by re-
moving the protective duties which
enable these thieving corporations to
flourish. But Congress won't hurt
the trusts-not this year.

BRYAN AND JONES
They Make Statements as to
What The Democratic Platform
viii Contain.

Chicago, June 14.-Th, following
statements by w. j. Bryan and Chair
man Jones, of the Democratic National
committee Is published by the Tribune
today:
Money, Imperialism and trusts will be
the three great issues in the Demo-
cratic platform. Money includes silver
and paper. Imperialism carries militia
rism and the Boer war. The contest in
South Africa is one where imperialism
is now specifically applied, and there
fore II concerns the people of this
country. The Chicago platform will be
re-affirmed and the new issues that
have arisen added to it's principles. l
have not been asked by Senator Jones
or anybody else 10 drop sixteen TO one.
(Sgd.) WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
/ believe that Col. William j. Bryan
viii carry every state he carried in
1896, and moreover will carry Ken
lucky and Maryland. He has splen-
did chance in Indiana. Ohio and New
York. The great fight will be in
New York and Ohio and we
gained in both states since 1896. The
Pacific coast is stronger today for Col.
Bryan than in 1896. Kansas and Color
ado we will carry and the situation
In the Dakotas is most encouraging,

Ru' Klws OPINION OF BICYCLING.

A few weeks before John Ruskip
passed to that bourn from which no
traveller returns" the enterprising edi-
tor OF a New York newspaper dis
patched his London representative 10
interview the Sage OF Brentwood on the
beauties and benefits of bicycling. The
editor evidently did not know Ruskin,
or he would have saved himself and his
correspondent the trouble OF trying 70
make the great critic talk on a subject
abhorrent TO him-machinery and
mechanism OF any description. says a
writer in Success.
Mr.. Ruskin refused point blank to be
interviewed and gave the newspaper
