what Mr.. Bryan Could Do.

New YORK Evening foSt.
What could Mr.. Bryan do IL elected TO
change the present standard? The answer
is that The standard itself is still fiuctuat-
ing and undecided. No matter who is To
blame for II, this is the fact. A sufficiently
strong push may carry the country of thu
gold standard. The strongest push in THAI
direction would be the election OF Mr..
Bryan, because that would be an express
sion of public opinion II would be YER
dict of the country, not necessarily for
the silver standard, but a verdict OF don't
care" Ii would be warrant TO Mr.. Bry-
an to do what he could for a change OF
standard, and the consequences of this
would be very disturbing to business. even
IL not carried so far an actual change.
Our opinion is that when confronted by the
awful prospect of a change of the stand
ard of value, Mr.. Bryans supporters would
stand aghast. and would compel him to
hold his hand. We believe that they would
recoil from the consequences OF their own
platform, but IL is already evident that
the business men of the country think that
il would be sheer madness 10 take that
risk.
