The Honorable Mr.. Bruce.

Hon. VIM. Cabell Bruce is in print again.
He is out in a letter which opens as follows !:
II desire the defeat Of Mr. Bryan.
Just think Of 1.-THE Hon. WIN. Cabell
Bruce desires the defeat Of Mr.. Bryan Sup
pose the whole country knew OF Mr. Bruce ;
desire, what an over. powering defeat would
be administered to the Democratic leader
It is possible that had Mr.. Bryan known that
his candidacy would not have been kindly re
ceived BY the Hon. Mr.. Bruce he would
not have accepted What pity the National
Democratic Convention bad not been told Of
the opposition Mr.. Bryan would meet from
the Hon. Mr. Bruce, So some other nominee
could have been selected.
The Hon. Mr. Bruce has not been content
to simply announce q desire the defeat Of
Mr.. Bryan, but he has called attention to
the fact that poor aud plain people are for the
Democratic candidate-the ''thriftls-s ele-
nents Of society, as he calls them. And he
called Mr. Bryan's utterances shallow. o,
horrors Honorable William Cabeil Bruce

The Honorable Mr. Bruce. We shall calmly
await the destruction Of the Democratic

Hiding Behind the Gold Dollar

The Imperialists are trying to hide behind
lie gold dollar, but the devotees Of the Re.
public and the lovers Of freedom are not de
ceived If The Congress should declare tin
the standard aud make fifty grains dollar,
i would go and every alleged sound money
,aan knows it. 1t is the government stamp
by Congressional authority, that gives value,
not the thing itself. II is the government
stamp ON fifty cents worth Of silver that makes
the silver dollar equal TO every other dollar.
The silver dollar bias NO gold dollar behind
it. 1t is as much Of a dollar as the gold dol
lar Each is legal tender without limit,
made so by Congressional action, aud al a
ratio of Is to J.
1t is not the dollar that so much concerns
them-it is purpose to make a strong gov
erument, an imperial government The
''plain people" are feared. Should they win

ATTEMPTING 70 CLOUD THE MINDS
OF THE PEOPLE,

Mr. Lloyd L. Jackson. Jr., speaks of the real issue
The sole question to be decided in the coming
Presidential election by Sound Money Democrats
who supported the Republican nominees in the
Presidential election of 90 is whether not the
issue of Imperialism is in fact paramount" and
does it so far overshadow the issue of sound money
that the latter is but collateral and incidental TO it.
If il can be shown land undoubtedly can bel that
the money issue is primary and superior to all other
Issues the same arguments and reasoning of'96woud
manifestly be equally applicable to the CONDITIONS
of today. since the money plank of the platform of
the Chicago Convention was Incorporated Mt length
into that of the Kansas City Convention therefore
all Democrats who supported the gold standard in
'96 should vote for sound money this year"
