in the market place. The fu1fllment
is that more labor is at present EN-
p1oyed at better wages than ever be-
fore. He prophesied again that If
President Mckinley were elected the
farmer would find his produce losing
value. The actual facts prove what a
keen forecaster Mr.. Bryan is. The
products of the farm have increased in
value from Is to 90 per cent. He also
INDUCED himself in some speculations
as to the future of the savings banks
and gave it to the world as his infa11i-
bic opinion that if we had not free sill
yer deposits would diminish. Again
Mr.. Bryan's statements and statesman
ship missed the mark, for bank depos-
it's have increased fully Is per cent.
He avowed that the money in circu1a-
ton per capita would also diminish,
and it has grown from $50 to SIS.
About the only thing Mr.. Bryan al
lowed would go up was mortgages,
which, as a matter of fact were about
the only things to go down, Since the
election of Mr.. Mckinley the amount
of mortgages has diminished nearly 40
per cent.
And so, when Bryan's down he's up,
and whenhe's up he's down, and when
he's only half way up he's neither up
nor down..
