You will find my text in the letter
of acceptance of that great apostle OF
free silver, w. j. Bryan. 1t is his last
card, and he begins his interesting ap-
peal to the people of the United States
by telling what he knows about trusts.
At the Kansas. City convention there
developed a wide difference of opinion
in the democratic party as to what they
should do or ought To do, and various

Bryan has been afraid TO push the sil-

states. He tried imperialism. 1t is his
trump and last card and we will hold
