HOW BRYAN LIVES
The News publishes the following

The News publishes the following:
Does anybody know hoS Mr.. Bryan
makes his living? For FIVE years he
hasn't earned a dollar-not single,
square, honest dollar. He has re-
ceived many, and he has stolen none;
but he has really earned none. He
ism t lawyer, an editor, a preach r,
q doctor, a merchant, nor a farmer,
though he pretends to be all Of these
in his talk. How vastly better it
would have been for Mr.. Bryan, if,
over three years ago, he actually. act
lively and honestly engaged in enc Of
these pursuits, and thereby made a
square, honest living. like the COM
mon citizen that he vas and is, and
keep his CAB to himself.
1t seems odd that anyone should
ask how Bryan makes his living.
During the past few years he has
made his living mainly as an author.
His beok 1.-The First Battle" has en-
joyed a tremendous sale. 1t has
turned in to him in royalties over
SIS 900. 1t was all leg innate. honest
money. He has not asked Congress
to put a tariff on the product of his
brain that he might sell his books at
higher prices, he has not earned his
dollars by lowering the wages 81 fac
tory hands, he has not asked Con-
gress to grant him special money
making privileges. There is not the
faint Of wrong doing on dollar of the
money Bryan has earned and he has
ne yer called on a wealthy syndicate
as did McKinley-te pay off his
debts. We have yet to hear of SIN
gle man who purchased his beck that
claimed that he did not get his mon
ey's worth.
Isn't it a curious thing that with
all the talking he does that no one
has yet been able to point out sim
gle utterance which he ever had to
1etract or which was ever belled by
his private acts.
Mckinley hardly ever opens his
mouth that the hollowne and insin-
cerity of his utterapces are not dem-
onstrated by his acts in few weeks.
He is on all sides of all question S
and standing contradiction to him
self. McKinley's talk is like FIRE

escaped from the control of the men
and is Tipping and Hopping about in
every direction, spouting water sew.

Bryan talks to satisfy the tremen

1t seems odd that any newspap
