bryan as Prospector

As n prospector. the Eagle hopes Mr..
Bryan will be successful. Some of his
gushers will be ineShaustiblc II they
begin 10 resemble gushing of another
sort. They will enrich him beyond the
treams Of avarice IL they are prodiGal
enough to hold comparison with gush-
ing about the common people. by which
he meant the unfortunates who have
not struck 1t rich In either Wyoming
or elsewhere. He calls them the in
dustrious, the intelligent, the patriotic
element of our population. the produc-
ers of our nations wealth in time of
war, and the fighters of the nations
battles in times of peace. He calls
them the self-reliant and the independ-
ent, excluding from this category the
poor who "fawn before plutocrat and
who have no higher ambition than to
become n courtier and sycophant."
Also the rich are excluded from the
gushing inventory. They are neither
Industrious nor patriotic. They pro-
duce none of the nations wealth in
time Of peace and fight none Of its bat
ties in time of war. They are neither
self-rellant nor Independent. This can
hardly be surpassed by any spouter
worked by drills upon the ground or
by new machinery. The irony of it Is
that the rich work at least as hard as
the poor, If not little harder. and that
some of the rich fought as well as some
of the poor at Santiago. The libel of
1t is that the rich are as likely to dis
play patriotism as the poor. Finally,
the comedy of it all may be in the real
ization of Bryan's hopes. He might
make million in Wyoming. More
over, he might keep it. So runs the
world away.-Brooklyn Eagle.
