flowing with visitors the last few
days, nearly one hundred persons
having registered since the 10th inst.
With but few exceptions all have
been delighted with the place and
full Of admiration for the magnificent
view from the top of the tower. But
all sorts and conditions of people
make up the ever increasing army of
tourists that do the mountains with
feverish haste as though their lives
depended upon making the next
train. Not one in hundred ever
sees the true beauty and grandeur of
this paradise in the mountains that
INVITES the soul to sober contempla-
tion and sweet repose-barring the
skeeters and bugs.

The Baltimore sun after
Bryan's acceptance:
I'm one single sentence William
J. Bryan makes so plain that no
man can misunderstood the differ
ence between a constitutional
President and an encroaching,
usurping Executive-in a word,
between Bryan, the tribune of the
people, and Mckinley, the would
be dictator. IF elected he de-
clares, Il shall convene Congress
in extraordinary session as soon as
| am inaugurated and recommend
an immediate declaration of the
nations purpose in regard to the
future fate and disposition of the
Philippines There are no ifs or
butts about this declaration. He
does not say-and, what is more,
he does not mean-'if ! do not
change my mind'-'if the bosses
and the trusts consent'-'if Mark
Hanna approves'-but, unreserv-
edly and without unnecessary de-
lay, as soon as / am inaugurated l
shall convene Congress in extraor-
dinary session. If elected the
peoples President he pledges him
self not to govern without the help
and the concurrence of the peo-
ple's Congress, according to the
spirit and the plan Of the Consti-
tuition"

siderably. He can no longer accept
the presentment of the Republican
side of the case as he used to. The
other day he read in paper about the
great prosperity throughout the coun-
try, about the enormous amount of
goods shipped and bought by Uncle
Sam, of the increased amount of bust
ness being done and of the increase in
the amount of money in circulation.
He does something now that he never
did before. He questions the truth of
these statements. For instance, he
wants to know where the money goes.
He is not making any; his friends in
business tell him that they are not
making any money, Some years ago
they used to make money and they
used to spend 1t literally, too, but now
they are forced to play close to the
cushion.
John is doing little figuring now
all by himself and Is doing consider
able thinking. He wonders why 1t is
that he and his old friends, those he
knows In town, are not making any
money. He figures that there are
more people around town than there
were in the days when business was
good, He figures that they should eat
as much as ever. In fact should spend
about as much money as ever. But
do they? He answers himself by say
ing that he does not spend as much
money as he used TO spend; he doesn't
get hold of 1t to spend. He figures
that what Is true OF him is true of
other people. The question, who gets
the money? is what he is trying to
figure out. He looks about the store
at his small supply of goods ana re-
calls from whom he buys them. Near
ly everything he has in stock Is handl-
ed by trusts. There is no competition.
He must buy from that one party or
not buy at all. They bull the price,
goods, but he cannot always charge a
large price, because the people won't
pay 1t, for what is equally as bad. they
can't pay It, What is the result? The
result is that the trusts make the mon
ey The merchant is forced to buy his
stock from concerns that tolerate no
competition. He is forced to sell his
goods in competition with his fellow
merchants. owing to the combines that
are formed. the profits OF the whole
sale houses are never cut. II the
prices of the goods are raised to the
small merchants, 1t simply follows
that its profits are diminished. Tha
merchants loss is the combines gain.
And 1t is equally true that the com
bines gain is not only the merchants
loss. but the publlcs as well. This
is the fact which John Smith has dis
covered and about which he is ener-
getically telling his friends and neigh
bors. And as a result OF having at
last seen the light upon the trust ques-
ton he has decided to vote agains,
them by casting ballot for Bryan.
Thus ends the simple story of John
Smith.

"M'KiNLEY PROSPERITY"

II is an old but true adage that he
who would lie and make success OF
his lying must lie upon every occasion.
He must never under any circum-
stances allow himself to be betrayed
into telling the truth. or else he Will
be compelled to play the rather un-
comfortable role OF self-accuser. For
some time past the leading republican
organs have been running n series OF
beautiful prevarications regarding
Mckinley prosperity" In their cd
itorlal columns they have been declar-
ing that there was every prospect for
a bountiful crop. and that In conse-
quence OF the favorable outlook which
has been announced In the west and
northwest Mr.. Bryan's chances were
reduced TO n minimum. Unfortunate
ly these editorial stories fail to agree
with the facts as related In the news
columns OF the same paper. Accord
ing to Associated Press dispatches the
crop predictions arc not materializing
to the extent that the newspaper pros
perity boomers predicted. A recent
dispatch to the Chicago Times Herald
from Indiana says: Reliable grain
dealers from all parts Of the state have
collected statistics showing the total
Yield OF wheat In Indiana for the pres
ont year to be the smallest for many
years. not exceeding 5000 900 bushels.
against 25.O0O.OO0 to 10000 600 for sew
eral years In succession prior TO 1899.
The crop Is practically a failure. there
being but little moro than enough
grain raised for seeding.
Another Associated Press dispatch
says, regarding the Kansas crop. that:
"Two-thiids OF Kansas west OF the
three easternmost tiers Of counties Is
experiencing one of the most severe
droughts In the history OF the state,
and the general opinion is that the
Kansas crop will be the smallest In
proportion to It's requirements for
feeding has been raised In many years.
According 20 the arguments OF the
republican press bountlful crops meant
the election OF Mckinley. Hut what
about the crop failures In Indiana,
Kansas and other states The fact IA.
however, that rood crop conditions
are no part OF thc ao-called Mckinley
prosperity. and the Mckinley organs

Following are extracts from four
of the leading newspapers OF Massa-
chusetts in reference to Bryan's great
speech at indianapolis. One of these
journals has larger circulation than
any other paper in New England. We
believe that every one Of these papers
opposed Mr.. Bryan in 1896.
A Revelation.
Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
Indianapolis is as great a revelation to
his opponents as 1t is source of Joy
to his friends. II is unquestionably the
most statesmanlike address that has
been made in recent years by a presi-
Dental candidate. 1t is devoted in its
entirety to discussion of imperial
ism. which by the very force Of this
speech would be made the issue of this
campaign II It had not already been
such. The tremendous subject is pur-
sued to Its utmost ramifcations and
the argument and Its deductions are in
every respect sound and logical.
There is no resort to invective and
little reliance is placed upon mere ora
torial effect. The speech is that OF a
man thoroughly In earnest and SINGER
ity shines In every sentence. We be-
lieve that the arguments advanced
against the imperialistic policy of the
Republican party cannot be SO con-
troverted as to carry conviction to any
unbiased mind. Mr.. Bryan has taken
up Republican claims one after another
and with calm but earnest reasoning
has torn them into shreds and flung
them. valueless, behind him.
No adequate idea of the strength and
compass of the mastery address can
be given in editorial limits. 1t is one
of the greatest and most statesmanlike
utterances of our history. 1t estab-
fishes the paramount issue of the cam
paign and proves that Americans today
stand at the parting Of the ways. We
must either cling to the honored tradi-
tions of our forefathers, to the consti-
tuition and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. or we must follow the imperl-
alistic policy to its inevitable conclu-
sion-to militarism and high taxation
at home and to dominating oppression
abroad. There is no alternative.-Bos-
ton Traveller.

bold and Aggressive.

The presidential campaign of 1900
was opened boldly and aggresslvely by
Mr.. Bryan in his speech OF acceptance
OF the Democratic nomination at In
dianapolis yesterday. The occasion
was one OF much interest. not only by
rcnson OF the impressive formalltics OF
the proceedings. and the great cnthu-
siasm OF the large aSsemblage. but be-
cause the utterances OF the candidate
fixed definitely the paramount issue OF
the campaign which the party In power
has done It's best TO bcll,tlo and cover
up.
Mr.. Bryan makes his stand squarely
on the issue OF republic or empire. In
his speech OF acceptance the minor and
contingent questions OF public policy
with which this election IL concerned
do not receive consideration. The SOL

wilton OF the principles OF our govern
ment oyershadows everything else at

Calm and Patriotic.

Mr.. Bryan was introduced to the
country four years age in single
burst Of popular oratory. He has in
augurated his second campaign at In
diarapolis with an address which must
merit and receive permanent distinc-
ton for the calmness OF its tone and
closeness and sobriety OF Its reasoning,
and for its breadth OF statesmanship.
The contrast marks and epitomizes
the growth OF the man.
No one ever before nominated for
the presidency was SO little known TO
the nation at large as Mr.. Bryan was
In 1896, but since that day In Chicago
there has been continuous unfolding
of a remarkable character under n sun
light as fierce as any that ever beat
upon a throne. His rigorous honesty.
his constant frankness, his unfailing
courtesy. his undaunted optimism. his
intense patriotism have availed to pen
citrate the clouds of partisan and fac
tionnl prejudice until these qualities
are conceded by his antagonists and
become the reliance OF his followers.
While the indianapolis speech OF ac-
ceptance is not lacking in skill and
elegance, the reader will search II in
vain for idle symbols or mere flowers
OF rhetoric. He will find instead an
unbroken thread OF earnestness and
candor running through 1t. with no dis
grcsslve appeals 10 irrelevant passions.
