Issues come and go, and I cannot now

Imperialism and the trust question will

and the money question always Is up in

to framing legislation that Will expand

OF course. certain persons are anxious

is only stomach ache.
Turning again to the money question.
Mr. Bryan slowly dictated the following
statement:
THE difference between those who
| want money scarce and those who want
a sufficient volume of money is an es-
sentiaI and permanent difference. 1t Is
one that cannot be reconciled. Just now.
this difference manifested itself in the
Fowler bill The financiers want to give
| the banks more complete control OF the

monopoly has led to the agitation OF the
| branch bank system and the desire to
| lessen the volume of local money finds
expression in that provision OF the Fow-.
| Ter bill which makes the silver dollar re-
deemable in gold.
Every real friend OF binetallism will
oppose that bill, while those who adj
yocate the gold standard will naturally
favor it. But even If the bill were law

there would be something else the finan-
ciers would want that would be injurious

that any San Francisco climate can Of

In the pool-rooms there appears no
limit to the sum the public is willing to
stake on Jeffries or Fitzsimmons to win.
The betting is at the ratio of 10 to A.
Jeffries having the long end.
