NOTHING AT ALL CONFIRMED

of rumor which told of great things
going on in Manchuria, the lid has
been put on and nothing is coming,

Russians.
A lot of delayed kilograms are

from Ia Tche Kiao, dated July 10, and
saying: 1T is reported tina. the Japan
ese have five divisions and 200 guns
and that they have been placing siege
guns in readiness for determined as

duced to $500, while the Russian loss
is put Mt 1880.

Bryan Still the Leaoer of the Western
Dmocracy.

One day later he emerged, after
his speech on Friday, a more abso-
Lutte leader Of the Western Democ-
racy than he had been since 1896,
more absolute perhaps than he was
in '96. He had yielded to the peo-
pies will on the financial fallacy
that had alienated the best Of the
Western radicals, and had asked if
they wished him as a leader purged
Of his favorite error. Their response
was unmistakable. Democrats Of
the type Of Tom johnson and Joseph
Folk say with enthusiasm, with de-
votion, that Mr.. Bryan has gone out
Of st. Louis larger and stronger than
he entered it; they say that he has
shown teachability, unselGshness,
and parliamentary skill; that he is a
sincere representative Of their ideals;
that he is the leader Of their cause.
This wise class Of radicals, whose
watchword is unjust privileges, are
under no illusions about the present
campaign. They are not hypocrites
enough to say that Parker is a great
er friend to unjust privilege than
Roosevelt. They say only that they
are in position now to fight to
gether, year after year, against un-
just privileges, whether they be
shown in tariff discrimination OF the
method Of taxing great corporations.

Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1904-07-20

In 1896 the democratic party re.
pudiated Grover Cleveland, princi-
pally because he used the great
powers incident to his Office to short
tseir country's money supply,
worst financial panlcs in our history ~
He was assisted in his scarce money
propaganda by many republican
members Of congress, who seized an
opportunity to play politicsto the in
juryof theircountry and the democra-
ticparty. In the presidential campaign
Of that year the democratic party
made a mistake in paying too much
attention to details, but it taught a
lesson which produced results. I,
established the truth of'the quantita-
tive money theory and that was
worth all the toll and endeavor Of
Mr.. Bryan and his millions of fol
lowers. The money question will
not be political issue again until
the scarce money schemers COM
mence another attack upon the coun-
try's money. Should they demand
the retirement Of our hundreds OF
millions Of silver dollars and silver
certificates, or start another endless
chain for the destruction of the
greenbacks like they did during
Cleveland's last administration, there
will be another money fight and the
country will be better prepared tc
deal with the scoundrels than they
were in 1896.

Not Band Wagon scrubbies.

The Waterloo Reporter is, or at
least pretends to3be, greatly distress
sed because there were no Iowa mu-
sicians in the Parker band wagon at
st. Louis.
If the present publishers Of the
Reporter actually believe what their
paper says, if they really think that
the Iowa delegates at st. Louis
could have added to the glory Of
their state by becoming band wagon
scrubbies, then they are objects Of
pity rather than censure.
Men who arc a credit to theil
state, and who win and retain the
respect Of their fellow men, are not
band wagon chasers. They are moi
timorous beings, who jump at the
nod of every erstwhile political boss
but men who have reasons for then
opinions and who are willing TIC
stand for the right, as they are per
mitted to see the right, even though
they stand alone. The farseeinG
Judgment Of such men has guided
the race in every advance it has
made, and in all ages they hav'
been decorated with the slurs ane
contumely of the rabble in the bane
wagons.
