BRYAN EPIGRAMS.
Some of the Bright Sayings of the Great Demo-
 cratic Leader.
TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM
The Country Will be Given More Republican Medicine as Soon as it Has Recovered from
 the Last Dose
TWO EPlGRAMS.

The democratic party doeS not nicil- ace the man who wants to eat the bread that he earns, but merely men aces the man who wants to cal the bread that somebody earns without paying for the bread that he eats.
 The little republicans in Washington look up every morning to Mir. Hanna and say, Give us this day our daily opinion"
 AGILITY, NOT CONVICTIONS, NEEDED.
 There was a time when a republican was a man of conviction. Now re- publican does not have to have conric- tions. All he needs is agility. He does not have to think. He simply has to be ready to jump whenever 1t is necessary. Today the republican par ty can be defined as an Association of Athletes Trained to Turn Somer- saults Whenever the Leaders Say Flop
 HUMOE.
 When the republican policy is com plete there will be no legal tender but gold, and no paper money but bank notes The republicans do not dare tO take that step now. You may have heard of the doctor in Iowa who was called to treat child. The child grew worse and worse, until finally its life was despaired of. The doctor told the mother that there was no use to punish the child with more medicine, that if the child was restless all she could do was to give it little bit of water and await the end. The mother watched the child through the night and in the morning she thought it was better. She watched it through the day and al night 1t seemed strong er She watc ned it through another night and in the morning she thought she saw signs of improvement. and the second morning the doctor came to inquire why he had not been noti- fed of the childs death The mother told him that the child was better. He examined the child and left the mother with the assurance that if the child continued to improve for j6 hours. it would then De strong enough Co take some more medicine.
 WHY TRUSTS ARE NOW SAFE.
 The republican party is in absolute ,,f ha fnflnral but it neither enforces laws that now exist nor proposes new laws to destroy the trusts What explains it; Ask a republican why his party does not en- act some law to destroy the trusts and he points to the present law. Then you show him the trusts and ask why the law is not enforced, and you are told that the law does not quite reach that case. It is big law when you want d new one and q little one when you want to use 1t.
 THE NEW BRIBERY.
 If man at the head of the Ameri- can Wire and Steel company is able to make a change of S14,0o0.000 in the ! value of the stock in a week, how easy 1 it is to communicate what he is going | to do to his political friends on the in- side and raise enough money to carry l on a republican campaign and cor rupt the voters for another election. How easy il is to go to public men | who can be reached and offer them d | chance t0 make slO0. .0O0 or half mil ! lion by hints given as to what the | stock market is going to do. How | easy it is for these great aggregations | of wealth to gather around themselves men who are under obligations to | them, and having once. helped them to i secure wealth without the public | knowing it, how easy they can hold | that as blat kmail over the public oflic- | ial to make him vote as they please on | any question in which they are inter- cSted,
 GOOD AND BAD TRUSTS.
 Republicans are not going to destroy ] all trusts just the hurtful ones. Whenever you divide trusts into good | trusts and bad trusts and let the re- publican party draw the line you will | find that every trust that contributes i liberally in d campaign is q good one, and that the bad ones are the stingy ones that refuse to come down. There is no good monopoly in private hands; there never was and never will be till God sends angels to take charge of the monOpolies.
 DANGERS OF DESPOTIsM.
 You cannot have industrial despot- ism and political independence, and the republican party stands today for industrial despotism and industrial aristocracy as dangerous to human
