IN DEMocRAcY,s DEFENSE.
Bryan and His Party Are STRUGGLING
TO Maintain the Principles of
the Ccnstituticp.


Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, has
replied to many attacks which have
been made upon William J. Bryan re-
Gently. Republicans have declared
that Mr.. Bryan if elected president
would arbitrarily nullify the law which
makes gold the standard of the United
States money. They have also declared
l that if Mr.. Bryan was elected he would
Mock the supreme court with demo-
Ats and populists. Senator Jones
has been the fashion for the re-
ms for some years to denounce
democrats as anarchists, revolutionists.
etc. but all fair-minded men will adj
nit that at this time the republican
party seems to have a monopoly of rev.
dictionary suggestions. We see a sec
rotary of the treasury in an effort to
disturb the business of the country
for political effect. suggesting that Mr.
Bryan. in case of his election, would
deliberately evade the law. with pur-
pose as unstatesmanlike and unpatri-
otto as his own in making these sug-
gestions. Fortunately. Mr.. Bryan has
been before the public long enough for
everyone to know that tricks and false
pretenses are not among his weapons.

purpose has ever entered the mind of
eny democrat, but, on the contrary.
the leading idea with democrats
everywhere is to return to the prin-
ciples of the constitution of the United
States and to faithfully administer the

MOTHERS ARE WARNED.
Bryan shows How the Youth of the
Land Is Disinherited by
the Trusts.

81 am glad to talk to an audience
composed so largely of women" said
w. j. Bryan, in a recent speech, "for
certainly in this contest the woman is
as much interested as the man. Is not
the mother interested in her son? Is
not the mother interested in making
life worth something for her SON? 1
wish that every mother i'm this land
could study the trust question and
learn her own conviction with il. She
finds out about it when she goes to buy
sugar and other articles controlled by
the trusts and is told that the trusts
have raised the prices. But to my mind
that is the least objection to the trusts.
If the trusts raise prices we can simply
buy less. but when a trust monopolizes
an industry and closes the door of OPP
portunity against the young man and
attempts to condemn a man to perpet-
ual clerkship under monopoly and to
servitude undera great monopoly, then
monopoly strikes a severer blow than it
does through the prices that it EFFORTS.
Mothers, what would you have your
sons do? Would you have your boys go
onto the farm? Why, you know that
to-day the farmer takes more chances
than any other man. and has less infiu-
ence in the government. at least he is
less considered by those who govern.
are you going to have your boys sc
among the laboring men and have but
one ambition, and that to have a full
dinner pail, and only to have that when
the trust will let them have it,? Are
you willing to let your son go into the
anthracite coal region and take his
chances at less than 81 day, with
powder at $2.75 key? Are you salts
fed to have your boy go there? Do you
want him to go into store? Don't
you know that to-day the trust is hem
ming the storekeeper about? Don't
you know that the trust is shortening
credit? That is laying upon the re-
taller all the chances of business?
Don't you know that the trust is to-
day compelling the merchant to agree
not to sell any but trust-made goods?
Would you have your boy go into big
factory, that tomorrow the trust may
come and bankrupt him? Would you
have your boy have stock in a trust?
The big stockholders will freeze him
out before the year is over. What will
you have your boy do? VIII you have
him lawyer? Why, the law business
is gravitating toward the offices of the
large corporation attorneys, and the
other lawyers are clerks in their Of
fees. What do you want your boy to
do? Is it not time that you were think
ing? Is it not time you were using
your own influence to take this govern
ment back and place 1t on it's old
foundation and make it again free
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, in which the
humblest citizen may aspire to the
highest reward in the political world?
Is it not time that you mothers were
thinking. and if an economic question
cannot arouse you. is it not time that
you were studying the army question:"

In his Madison Square speech Mr..
Bryan outlined his trust corrective. To
place on the free list every trust made
article This would be compensation
in part at least. for the multitude the
trusts have thrown out of employment
To require trusts to take out license
and submit to scrutiny in every state
in which they operate and in which
they were not organized, scrutiny be-
ing presumably exercised in the state
of their organization. These measures,
he believes. will end industrial des-
potism which puts trust price on
every finished product and on every
article of raw material entering into
a trust product. He would squeeze the
water out of the stock. After that
process there would be, he thinks, hon
est corporations. Intelligent men may
differ about the efficaciousness of Mr..
Bryan's trust corrective. At least all
will credit him with the brains to de-
fine a corrective and the courage to
apply it if the people grant him the
power.-Chicago Chronicle.

weeks from his seasons engagement
in Sioux City, and will spend the win

OF professional base ball, and the very
indefinite nature of salaries, and acting
in accordance with his knowledge.As
player-manage Jack has been a sue
cess, and when the player part is OF
necessity eliminated he will still not
have outlived his usefulness.
After severing his connection with
the Fort Wayne club, Glasscock took
the managerial reins at Sioux City.
His team was in the midst OF a loos-
ing streak, with a record of eight vic
tories and eighteen losses. The prun-
ing process commenced, the club start
ed to win, and there was resultant
increase in the attendance. Glasscock
pulled the team from eighth to third
place. The attendance varied from
500 to 500 during the week, and from
1900 to $500 on Sundays.

GOOD ROADS PLANKS.

L.. A. w. Secures Favorable Ex-
pressions from Party Conventions
in New York.
Another practical illustration of the
work being done in the good roads
movement by the League OF American
Wheelmen is shown in the recent ac-
complishments of the New York Di-
vision and the National Highway I'm
provement Committee, acting in con-
junction with members who are prom
inent in the political organizations OF
the Empire State.
By united effort they have secured q
good roads plank in both the Demo
cratic and Republican State platforms
These planks express in no uncertain
words the belief that the State Legis-
lature should make provisions, on an
ample scale, for the Improvement o.
the public highways. This work has al
ready commenced under the provis-
ions of the State aid laws now in exist
ence. and which was passed through
the efforts of the l.. A. w.
The Democratic platform was &C.
cured principally through the efforts OF
Captain W. c.. Towan, a prominent
member of the New York Division, who
has been successful in securing for the
league the enactment of several laws
of Importance to cycling interests, and
who has secured several planks in
State platforms. He has done more in
this line, perhaps, than any other MEM
Der of the organization. The plank Sc
cured was as follows.
"As the improvement Of the rural
highways adds to the comfort and well
fare of the people and materially aids
the producers of the State by affording
more easy access to market, increasing
the value of farm property, we favor
liberal expenditures by the State for
the construction of such roads. And we
favor organized movements having for
their object the building and improve
ment of the highways, roads and bicy-
Gle paths"
The Republican plank says:
"The Republican party is in favor of
the good roads reform. and advocates
reasonable appropriations by the Leg
islature for the improvement and
maintenance of the State highways"
