If the people do not destroy the
Money Devil, the Money Devil
will destroy the people; their
moral nature, their public char
acter and their free institutions
That was the keynote. II is the
cue to what Mr.. Bryan said, to
what Governor Folk said, to
what Tom Johnson said, and to
what Augusta Thomas said; four
picked and marked men, taken
from the most typical and en-
lightened rank and file of con-
temporary American citizenship.
Mr.. Augusta Thomas declared
that he was glad that England,
recognizing Mr.. Bryan as a
Christian statesman, had called
him the Gladstone of America.
There is much to support the
analogy. Mr. Gladstone was the
most captivating personality of
his day before British audience.
Mr.. Bryan likewise before an
American audience. Mr. Glad
stone had the reputation of being
the brayest and sincerest of men.
So has Mr., Bryan Gladstone
was wont, when he drew his
sword, TO throw the scabbard
away. That seems Mr.. organs
method. Mr.. Gladstone was out
spoken to a fault, imprudent TO
degree. We fear we must so de-
scribe Mr.. Bryan.
His speech Of Thursday night
is a great speech 1t contained
matter enough to engage t. e
thoughts of People and Parties
and Statesmen for a decade to
come. If half the remedies he
proposed be attained we shall

Rarely has the case of the
People against the Plutocracy,
the masses against the classes,
received such exhaustive and con-
vincing treatment as was bestow-
ed upon it by the eloquent and
elaborate speech of Mr.. Bryan at
Madison Square Garden.
The occasion and the man were
completely met. That which
Democracy is, and hopes to be,
was there set forth with a power
and candor which must impress
reflective men of every sort,
whether they agree with all the
peaker uttered or not.
