Bee. Mr.. Bryan In one OF his recent
speeches referred 70 Esau OF biblical re-
rown, who, as MIR. Bryan puts it, sold his
birthright for a full dinner pail and has
been held in deris.ou ever since"
The inference that would most naturally
be drawn from Mr.. Bryan's question is that
the laboring people. like Esau, have sold
their b.rthright in order to receive a fun
dinner pail Of prosperity tthe existence OF
which Mr.. Bryan has so persistently denied
up 10 this timel.
Did the American people sell their birth
right in 1895 when they arose in their
might and declared that the time had ar
rived when an end should be put 10 the
scene Of idleness and inactivity that spread
itself broadcast over the land?
