Message from Minister Conger to
President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-On Aug. s.
1900. upon receipt of the dispatch from Min
lister Conger stating among other things
that all connected with the American le-
cation were safe. but that efforts were be-
ing made TO induce the legationers TO leave
Picking, to do what he (Conger) regarded
as certain death, the President sent Mr..
Conger the following dispatch:
Aug. s. night rejoice and with me
the whole American people, to receive your
cipher telegram reporting your safety and
that of the other legations. Everything
is being done and will be done for your

nation of the relief OF the legations, the

full efforts for our relief and bless God for
final deliveranco."

THE CHIEF OF FALSE PROPHETS.

Mr.. Bryan is the chief of false prophets.
Chairman Jones, of the national Bryan
committee, and Chairman Parks-martin. as
the New York Herald prints his name.
are borne in mind when this statement OF
the leadership of Mr.. Bryan in false predic-
ton is asserted. We will prove it.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan said that 1.-THE gold
standard would increase the purchasing
power of the gold dollar" and that prices
would fall as a stone falls when it is
thrown into the air." Prices are higher
now than in 1886. and the purchasing power
of the gold dollar has not increased.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan said that THE gold
standard would decrease the volume of
standard money! July /, 1900, the volume
of standar money was s412, 240. S67 more
than 1T was July 1, 1896. and the money cir
c~ulation per capita was $3.50. compared
with s21.1 10 in 1896.
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan said the gold standard
would make it more difficult for the farmer
10 live and that a Republican modifca-
ton of the tariff would have the same eff
feet. July 1, 1900. corn was 81 per cent.
higher than 1t was July 1. 1896; oats, 81 per
cent. higher; hogs, 80 per cent. higher: cat
tie, Sc per cent. higher, and wool nearly 100
per cent. higher. The farmers were gen.
orally never more prosperous.
Mr.. Bryan ~prophesied hat "the gold
standard would increase the number of idle
men," A well-known commercial agency.
after a thorough investigation, reported
that there were 1900. 600 idle men in 1896.
There has been work the past two years
for all who desire to earn their bread.
Mr.. Bryan said, in 1896. that 1.-THE gold
standard would compel the depositors OF
savings banks to withdraw their deposits
to pay living expenses" In 1896 the deposits
of savings banks were 81. 1886, 466, 46S; at TIE
close of 1898 they were 81. go. 366, 954. In 1899
the numbe of depositors increased 800, 900
over the year previous.
These are only a few of the many oft-re-
peated predictions of Mr.. Bryan which did
not come true. Indeed, the very opposite
was realized. Can any reasonable person
put any confidence in the predictions of the
Demo-Populist candidate for President?
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-08-28

The election in Vermont will occur n
week from to-day. When Oregon gave a
Republican plurality of more than 10000 the
reasonable and reasoning Bryanites gave
up the Pacific States. In Vermont il Is the
size of the Republican majority that is
looked at by those who are looking for
signs OF the times. In 1898 the Republican
plurality in Vermont was $500. As IL was
1891 in 1896. the Democrats were greatly
encouraged, and organs and orators broke
forth in predictions Of Republican reverses
in all the States. When both parties do
their best in Vermont the Republican plur-
ality is about 5000. In September, 1892,
the Republican plurality was 10. 702 in a to-
tai vote OF 59.SS0. In 1894 the Republican
plurality was 2s.521 in a total vote of S.0l5.
because the Democratic vote fell off 5000
and the Republican vote increased about
$500. In September, 1896. the Republican
vote was the largest ever poiled, IS, 426. and

recent years. 1855. which made the Repub-

The turning of the tide has begun. Popu-

As the campaign progresses Mr.. Bryan's
speeches more and more betray his dema-

of the office to which he vainly aspires

of the administration. When he accuses

AN INSULTING COMPARISON.

The Republican platform says that the
Republicans, if elected, will give the Fill
pinos a good government and as large a
measure of self-government as Is consist
ent with their welfare and our duty. 1 de-
nounce that plank in the Republican plat
form as a reproduction of the doctrine of
King George III. That is what he said, that
he would give a good government to the
colonists. / want you Republicans to take
that plank of the platform and compare IL
with the emanatiOns from the English
throne in the revolutionary days. What
king ever promises a bad government to
his subjects?
The foregoing is one of the illustrations
which Mr.. Bryan is making these days
when he addresses himself to Republicans.
He knows that the mass of those who
listen to him nave no facilities to get at
the contents Of the addresses of the British
government to the people of North America
at the time of the revolution. He assumes
that these addresses contained promises of
good government and knows that few of
his hearers are in a position to verify his
statements.
But the chief falsehood which the quo
tation leaves to inference is that the
colonists who went to war with Great
Britain were of the same grade of human
beings. as Aguinaldo and his followers.
The patriots of the revolutionary period
were the most intelligent men of their age.
They were mainly of British descent and
possessed the AngIo-Saxon faculty of self
government. What are the TagaIs who
follow Aguinaldo. whom Mr.. Bryan, by
inference, compares with the people who
were patriots during the evolutionary
war? What is the concurrent testimony Of
soldiers and others who have been in
Luzon? Simply that they have no con-
ception of self-government. Only the rich
can read, while the masses are entirely
ignorant of government except as exempli-
fed in the exactions of. Spanish rulers.
Captain David F. Allen, who is the BRYAN
candidate for Congress in the Ninth dis
trict, has declared that the Tagals are
hopelessly ignorant and degraded, not one

A Missourian recalls the fact that ex-
Senator Henderson, who is now an Anti
imperialist, was the holder of those bonds
voted by Scotland county, in Missouri, in
aid of a railroad. The railroad was never
built, but the bonds got out through fraud.
The people of Scotland county have resisted
payment ever since, and about a score of
Scotland county officials have been in Jail
for contempt of court in not assessing the
property of the county to pay the bogus
bonds. The Missourian sees in this con-
duct a case of imperialism of the worst
character.
