During the day Mr. Bryan's attention
was called to an extract from New York
Republican newspaper saying that Mr..
Bryan had made more money out OF the
ost crop raised on his Lincoln farm the
present season than the entire farm had
cost him. putting ihe result at $i.4co on
80 acres Of land Commenting upon this
statement Mr. Bryan said:
The entire farm contains only thirty
acres and cost me nearly 5000. although
the land Is no& worth that much to-day
Instead Of having i9l acres OF oats. ! had

crop fails he not only loses his income,
but loses the money put into the crop.
