Says Mir. Bryan of the Capitalist in
His Paper, the Commoner.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug 1.-According 90
w, j. Bryan, J. P. Morgan is the
most dangerous man in the United
States. He says in the Commoner:
'If Morgan were a philosopher or
student of human nature he would
know that evil and only evil can fol-
low from the monopolies which he has
helped to organize. He is either
without conscience or without judg
ment or it is more charitable to take
the kaiser's view and consider him
as incapable of seeing consequences
for ahead
He is on par with the drayman
who starves his horse, or the farmer
who impoverisnes the SON, or the
merchant who extorts from his GUS
toner, or the parent who allows his
child to work in the factory when it
ought to be in school, only he cannot
plead necessity as an excuse.
america mas no foreign foe nalf so
dangerous as Mr.. Morgan and the
plutocracy for Which he stands 1t
would be fortunate for this country
if all our people understood Mr. Nor
gan as well as Germany's monarch
does"
