How He Got it.

"Mr. Bryan owes his wealth to the
improvement of the legitimate oppor-
tunities presented him." explains the
Dubuque Telegraph. "He did not re-
ceive a single cent through legislative
favoritism, through monopoly or
through unfair practice. Every dollar
has been honestly acquired. Against
such fortunes as his there can be no
objection nor to the system that made
it possible for him to amass it."

Forty years from now says the
