night he will make six speeches in the
south and southwest parts Of the city.
Colonel Bryan began the days pro-

centers, where the conservative ele-
ment is in control, opposed and de-
feated him. For business, or wealth,
is always conservative and very care
full of anything like radical depar-
ture from old standards and ideas. In
other words, money is always afraid
of anything it don't understand. It
did not under5tand Mr.. Bryan and his
ideas in 1896, and it therefore strained
itself to beat him.
''This year, however, it is just the
other way. 1t is Mckinley who has
departed from the ways of our fathers
and left beyond hope of return the
good old ways upon which this ma
ton was founded and built up; and
the wealth of the country, as usual,
does not understand this new thing,
and therefore fears it. Tt is Mckinley
who is looked upon as a radical this
year, and the great centers or. popu-
lation and commerce will be against
him. He will be defeated, while Bry-
an, who has taken his old opponents
place as the conservator of the ancient
established institutions of the eoun-
try, will be triumphantly elected.

Of Mr.. Harrison closed with the seeds
of death poisoning every artery of
prosperity. Business was dead, in
dustry paralyzed and the national
credit disastrously impaired.
s'If it were true that the demo-
cratic party had no other plan with
which to improve the ruinous condi-
tions which they had produced than
to coin silver at the ratio of 16 to /,
that We're better than what the re-
publicans, William Mckinley as a con-
gressman aiding, had inaugurated in
the enactment which required the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver
per month, and coming the same into
standard silver dollars. That act of
"a republican congress, approved by
a republican president, was the as
sault on the credit of the country
which discredited it in the financial
world. If the making of the gold
standard value was an impetus to
prosperity why did the administra-
ton of William Mckinley postpone
the act therefor for more than two
years?
even with the gold standard dec
laration the republican managers do
not believe that it is true. If they do
believe tiff as they declare, the gold
standard is a fixed reality, why are
they injecting the possibility of its
repeal into this canvass? Have they
no faith in the republican senator's?
Do they believe that their majority
in the senate cannot be relied on? Or
are they preparing to don motley
suit which viii meet the change of
color of their views when the hour
for change comes? The republican
party and its predecessors, the whig
and federal parties, have been pauper
currency advocates. They are bank
note issue men this day as they have
always been, and will always be.
They have been opposed to metallic
currency of either gold or silver, or
both. Their present cry is a mere
cloak to deceive. They favor paper
money issued by banks and other cor
porate powers, and if successful in
this canvass they viii transfer to
banking system the power to make
money. To the taking of such step
the constitution is in the way. That
will not prevent them any more than
it did when they chartered a United
States bank. The greenback is an
offense to them. Their radical lead
ers have demanded that the green
