fear"
I doubt if this holds good in this day
and time. Mr. Mckinley owes his elec-
ton more to the fear of the people as 10
what the powers might bring down upon
them than he did to love 1here was
precious little love mixed up in the cam
paign. The people We're overaWed ny d
dread of a panic in case Mckinley was
defeated This dread was just as power
ful i'm keeping the president In MS place
as would have been the tramp OF soldiers
or the glitter of bayonets. Perhaps there
is greater strength in this subtle use OF
wealth than in the marshaling OF troops
under the banner of an open usurpef-
The people might be stirred against inc
troops to arise and crush them. while the
dread Of the calamity of panic would keep
them passive. Here in the south, at least
among farmers. there was u dread OF
GrOp in cotton in case of Bryan election.
The plain country folks fully believed
that the defeat of Mckinley meant some
more years of scent cotton with all its
attendant disaster, and so there has been
very little regret at the result As IL IS
now all these plain farmers fully expect
TO see cotton remain at 10 cents and above
y viii be good on the farmers to get
high price for their stuff. but IL Is not
good for a country ike this TO feel that
we are in the power of any clique or
party. No man. nor set of men. should
have the power to make themselves the
masters of the prices or the controllers oI
prosperity.
There were some other breads enCender-
cd by the trend of Organism. and ne
ought 10 profit by the lesson at least 10
the extent of fully resolving that in the
ranks of the Simon pure democracy lies
the hope of this country and our peop-e

ami learned the wisdom Of sticking close
10 the old democratic ship. Perhaps We
are the best democrats Of any al tn-a
