Some Bryan Epierams.

The ability of Bryan in argument
and his charm as public speaker are
recognized of all men. He is logical,
earnest. argumentative and convinc-
ing. But he is also attracting atten
tion now by the way be embodies
great truths or political principles in
Q short sentence Here are some
samples from bis recent speeches that
may be classed in the multum in
psrvo category
The extremes of society are really
not % far apart 40 they appear.
Az misery is lsssened the security
Of property is increased ; human life
is protected in proportion ss bsppi.
ness is promoted.
The labor organization has been
foremost in advocating the reforms
which have already been secured.
We cannot afford to bring into this
country those who cannot amalgs
mate with our people.
The attempt to nee the Injunction
of court to deprive the lsboring
Of trial BY jury should alarm all OUT
people
1t is inconsistent to invest any
Judge with the three fold power-first,
to make the laws; second, to bring
accusation against those charged with
the violation Of the laws. and third,
to cit in judgement upon the case.
The fact that the United States sen
ators are elected by legislatures, rath,
or than by the people directly
lessons the laboring mans influence
in securing favorable federal legisla
tion.
The only domestic use for a large
standing army is to suppress by force
that discomfort which should be
cured by Legislation.
TO support . permanent army o
100000 men requires approximately j
one half as much money as is an
nually expended for education in tn.
United States
imperialism involves a departur,
from principles which were uuiver
sally accepted in this country unit
