would begin to be experienced the mo-
ment that the triumph OF Bryan was
learned. The country could not escape
even until March A the consequences OF
Its folly In putting Bryan In the presi-
dency IL 1t should be guilty OF that
'enornity. Thoughtful persons OF all
parties are In no sort Of doubt about
this matter.
II Altgeld, Jones, Stone and the rest
OF the Bryanite wreckers had at this
moment any idea that Bryan would,
really carry the country they would
start, without moments delay, to sell
out all their real estate and personal
property, put the proceeds into gold.
and lock the gold up. There would not
be the slightest delay on this point.
These particular tricksters may tell
their dupes that Bryan's election would
cause no serious disturbance to this
country. or intimate that the disturb
arce would end soon, but they would not
take any chances on this themselves.
They would run no risks OF having their
holdings OF property or cash cut down
to the 45c dsllar basis. and would put
1t into l00c dollars which would keep
the 1OOc value. that Is, into gold. Bryan
would not be willing to take himself
the medicine which he tries to lnilict on
his dupes and the rest OF the country.
The way to hold the fb8c dollar, to stavc
OFF panlcs, and TO keep the country pros
porous, Is to smash Bryanlsm at the

went to Washington and urged the rat
illcation OF the treaty, without asking
our alleged ally anything about, It. He
thereby helped to commission the Pres
idcnt to shoot down our alleged ally,
and to make It his duty to do so. Then
Democratic members Of the senate and
house voted TO increase the regular
army from 1900 to $1,000 men, and to
authorize the enlistment of So, 900 voiun-
teers for the purpose Of Forcing our al
legged ally into submission to the au-
thority Of the United States.
If, at the time they did that, they be-
llcved Agunnldo to be an ally OF this
country, they were in doing 50 as,
treacherous. false and brutal toward
him and his people as spanlards, In
dams or savages could have been. Is
1t possible that Mr.. Bryan, with all his
reputed purity. generosity and keen
sense of Justice, could thus turn upon
his friend. and without even notice,
convert him into an enemy. and place
him in rebellion against the country.
The only way to let Mr.. Bryan and his
friends out Of this unmanly and un-
American situation is to say they be-
lleved nothing of tho kind at that
time. II that be true, they do not be-
llevc It now.

With Mr.. Bryan 1t depends whose OK
is gored. Now In speaking of the
trusts. which the apostle of calamity
denounccs with great vehemence, being
everlastingly engaged In tracking the
octopus to It's lair, he has carefully
avoided wounding the feelings OF Chair
man John X. Jones' of the Democratic
National Committee, or scratching the
sensitive backs Of Croker and his gang.
Everybody knows about the Ubiquitous
trust OF the American leo Company, OF
New York, and that Judge Van Wyck,
large stakeholder In that concern.
wrote the antitrust plank In the. Kan
sas City platform. But the people may
not know so much about the American
Cotton Company, and some may be sur
prised to be told that Democratic Chair
man Jones is n defendant In a proceed
ing brought under the Antitrust law
of Texas. He has company in his
trouble. John E. Scarles, known In
Wall street as one of the biggest trust
masnates." Is n co-defendant. The
Texans have placed these two gentle
men under fire because they are the
heaviest stockholders In concern
known as the American Cotton Com
pany. John Z. Searles Is president Of
the organization.
The chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee says his company is
but "a large business concern" But
the Texaus-and Texas is q Democratic
state-thlnk differently. It is charged
that the Jones-Searles combination
constitutes conspiracy against lawful
trade and free competition. The Amer
lean Cotton Company Is monopoly II
there ever was one. Not only is 1t en-
trenched behind 100000 capital stock,
but it is fortified by patents which eX-
clude the possibility of competition.
Nicolrs Stock Exchange handbook, a
recognized authority, says: 1.-THE
American Cotton Company is corpor-
alton which controls the patents for
machinery and processes in making
round-lap bales" "Controls"-that
word itself Is suggestive Of the "octo-
pus." It Is the word over which Mr..
Bryan fumed In his St. Louis denun-
citation of trusts.

Another Man of Straw,

The Bryanites have harped great
deal on one string-the alleged alliance
between Agulnaldo and this govern
ment in the conduct Of the war against
Spain In the Philippines. This has been
asserted in such an offensive manner
as to stamp Admiral Dewey ms an un-
considerable liar and hypocrite. There
can be no evasion on this point when
the inslstence and Iteration OF the
Demo Popullst leaders Is in evidence,
backed by one OF the mendaclous planks
of the meretrIclous Kansas City plat
form. Besides dIscredItlng the solemn
ayowal OF Dewey they deny the truth
fitness OF President McKinley's public
official utierances on the subject.
Why did not Bryan and his following
make these assertions at the time the
treaty of peace was ratified, which oc-
Cured some days after the rebel FIJI
pinos fired on the American soldiers?
They believed nothing OF the kind then
they knew, rs they know now, that
there was no alliance, verbal or writ
ten. Whatever may have been the re-
lat!on OF Asuinaldo to this country
then, It was apparent that. II he failed
to disband his army, and continued to
resist the authority or the United
States in the Philippines, after the
transfer Of the title to thln country. he
would be an enemy Of the country. and
II would become the sworn duty OF The
President to hurl.against him the mill
tary and naval forces OF this nation.
Knowing that, Mr. Bryan deliberately
resigned his:position in the army, and

epitaph which he found in the cemete-

OF Mary Wilder. who died in 1885, aged
IS years:
This simple monument doth rise,
To mark the spot where Mary lies:
This simple woman, artless maid.
Beneath this monument Is laid.
When death was stealing round her he'd
And conscious she was soon TO part
with friends, relatives. parents nenr;
And nh. with one to her more dear:
She ordered that word be sent
To her betrothed: the herald went: and

To witness the appalling truth.

In bursts Of grief all sobbed aloud;

Making of Beer Was Taught-Im-

When the Romans first invaded Ger
many they found that the beverage OF
the people was liquor produced from
barley. But that was at a time COM
paratively modern. From the earliest
times and in every cline man has had
resort to some stimulating and cxhil-
irating beverages prepared by ferment-
Ing the Juices or extracts from fruits,
grains or plants. 1t Is said that Osiris
as early as 1900 B. c. taught the pro-
cess of extracting the juice from bar
ley and fermenting 1t, while the Greeks
learned how to brew and ferment from
the Egyptians, who, 800 B. c.. had es-
tablished u number of manufactures at
Potassium on the Nile. Xenophon, 400
B. c., refers to a fermented drink from
barley. and 1t is alluded to by Arls-
totle, Strabo and others under the name
OF 2ythos. Pliny mentions kind OF
beer called "cerevisia," and Eunemenes
In A. d. 296 says that Britain produced
such an abundance of corn that 1t was
sufficient to supply not only bread, but
