year." Is heard on every hand these
days. The expression comes not
from politicians so much as from the
common people-the masses who
work and have little at stake person
ally on the result Of the presidential
election. That is they have nothing
at stake In the way Of patronage 10
win or lose.
The reason Of this oft repeated ex'
preston about the probability oil
Mr.. Brysn's election is that the peo
pie Of this country are turning again
to the Democratic party.
81 think Bryan will be elected next
year." This comes from men and
women who, while engaged in the
affairs Of making their living, are OBJ
serving In the common sense way
that Americans observe, the trend Of
public affairs. The combinations Of
capital are drawing round them
closer the exactions OF high pricesfor
what they must buy and lower prices
for what they must sell. They see
lumber going up every week in price
as a result OF the protective tariff on
logs and the workings OF trust or
ganizstlon which controls American
forests. They see the price Of cotton
goods going up month by month and
with 1t the price OF wooden fabrics.
They see farm implements, wagons,
furniture, paper, paint, hardware, all
increasing In price with a rapidity
that astonishes the consumers. See
Ing these conditions, they rightly at
tribute them to the combinations OF
capital and the operations Of the
great trusts which now control about
every commodity Of manufacture
and OF commerce.
Also, they see the evidences OF q
government already strong becom-
Ing stronger. They hear grave init
nations that the only chance Of Re-
lican success Is Roosevelt for q third
term. This, they know, means a
stronger government and a more ex-
peAsive one; a larger army and q big
ger navy, and, probably, a President
for life. They see the constant drain
upon the treasury Of the United
States to meet the expenses Of main.

wisdom Of the colonial policy that

but puts Us in the position Of defend.
ing our possessions In the future at q
still greater outlay,
81 think Bryan will be elected next
year." The sentence reflects the
thought in the hearts Of most Of the
people. tits not that they care 90
much for Bryan individually, nor
that they look upon him as a hero;
nor is 1t that they believe implicitly
in the Democratic party and no 9th.
or. 1t is because they believe In
Bryan's fxedness Of purpose, his
rugged integrity, and because they
believe that the time lie approaching
when the people should have more
to say about the affairs Of this gov
eminent OF ours. They are coming
to the conclusion that another four
years at the gait this country has
gone in the past four years, With the
party In power which was placed
there by the insurance trust, thssteel
trust and the hundred other great
trusts, should be succeeded BY the
opposition party, which is In closer
touch With the people. The masses
are demanding a change In the exec
utive, the Legislative and the Judi
cial departments Of this govsrnmen,
Of ours. -Paola Spirit.
