MR.. BRYAN's CRITICS

Mr.. Bryan went last week to Massa-
! chusetts to speak at a great Democratic
| gathering. Afterwards he went to Maine
and made several other addresses. They
were able, eloquent, broad, statesmanlike,
and dealt with living problems. Those
papers that seem never we'll pleased
except when misrepresenting Mr.. Bryan
reported that he went through New
England making speeches for free silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1. Upon that pub
LEGATION many editorials about Mr..
| Bryan's lack of political wisdom and
party loyalty have been written. 1t
turns out that all the criticisms were
| based upon a false report. Senator Car
mack says:
81 heard every speech which Mr.. Bryan
delivered in Maine and he did not men
ton 16 to l at any time. He did not
advocate the free coinage of silver. nor
did he denounce the gold standard. The
whole story is a lie."
Everybory knows as Mr. Kitchin put
it. that the Lord Almighty has eliminated
the free coinage question from the poll
teal issues. If Mr.. Bryan's speeches
had been as represented, the whole world
would have said that he lacked wisdom
and the criticisms would have not have
been unwarranted, even though inspired
by desire to iniure.
Mr.. Bryan's best friend would not give
him credit for astuteness in political
management. His worst enemy cannot
charge him with lacking sincerity and
courage. Both should do him justice.
The critics of Mr.. Bryan make the mis-
take of writing of him as if the only
great issue for which he has stood is
the free coinage of silver. Unfortunately
Mr.. Bryan helped them by emphasizing
that question in 1900 when it was not
leading issue. But the truth is that Mr.
Bryan made his first signal triumph in
politics on the tariff issue in 1890 when ne
was elected to Congress from a rock
ribbed Republican district. His speeches
Mckinley new tariff law electrified
Nebraska. In Congress, when in his first
term, he served on the Ways and Means
Committee, he made the greatest tariff
speech during the session. In 1892 the
Cleveland campaign committee circulated
more than a million copies of that
speech. No man has spoken with such
ability against imperialism, and in the
House he spoke upon almost every i'm
portant question, and always showed that
he had mastered the subject upon which
he spoke.
During his New England tour, Mr..
Bryan did discuss the money question, |
but he took the same position as that
taken by the Bankers Association in |
their recent meeting at Savannah. Few
but both are now opposed to the Fowler
bill pending in Congress and believe that |
its passage would be fraught with dan
ger. Mr. Bryan's only reference to the |
money question in New England was to |
discuss the Fowler bill and to antagonize |
it's provisions. The bankers at Savan-
nah did the same thing. The bankers |
were certainly not paramounting the 16
to l issue. They were doing so just as |
much as Mr.. Bryan in his New England |
speeches.

Judge Robinson Oh Juries.

Gin his charge in Union County,
''You hear people talk disparagingly
of juries / tell you when you take
eighteen North Carolinians and put them
on a grand jury you will not find more
than twelve scoundrels in that lot Some
times juries make mistakes, but in the
main their verdicts are just. Sometimes
the Judge sets the verdict aside. The
first court l held was in this county and
set the verdict of a jury aside where
young man was found guilty of burn
ing house and a jury in another coun-
ty, to which the case was moved, found
him not guilty. In that case l suppose
the LAYERS talked the head off of the
jury.

The Stanley Enterprise, in an editorial
urging Mr.. Bryan to quit speaking,
closes with these words: This time
when silence would be golden" If the
Enterprise is right, Mr.. Bryan would be
tacitly advocating the gold standard if he
keeps quiet The Enterprise must trot
out another argument if it hopes to in
duce Mr.. Bryan to quit speaking.

Industrial News.

In an Interview published in the New
YORK Times, ex-Secretary Hoke Smith
says:
L do not regard the struggle for SUI
premacy IN the manufacture OF lint cot
ton to be between New England and the
South. The South produces 20 per cent
OF the lint Gotten of the world which
goes to manufacturers. Foreign mills
increase the value of American raised
lint cotton $500,000,000 by manufacturing
it annually. 1t is this immense increase
that the South covets. 1t is for America,
in the South where the cotton grows, to
prepare the manufactured product for ex-
port, and | believe each year the South
in her cotton mills will make great in
roads into the business of foreign cotton
manufacturers"

Among the Railroads.

Alabama has the queerest thing in the
way of a railroad commission on record
The commissioners are appointed by the
governor of the State, and their salar-
les are paid by the several railroads. 1t
is not hard to imagine what sort of a
show the people have under such law,
nor is it to be wondered at either that
the people are demanding a change in it
whereby they may elect these officials or
that the railroads are declaring that no
such change shall be made. 1t is hard
enough for the people to get their rights
even when they elect and pay the COM
missioners.
