A DISCREDlTED ..PROPHET."

A DISCREDITED PROPHET"
Mr.. Bryan continues to picture .
deplorable condition of business affairs
if the people decide to elect Mr.. Taft
President. As late as January of this
year he asserted that the free coinage
of silver was not dead issue, and was
just as emphatic in his statement as he
was in 1896, when, in speech at New
ton, Iowa, on the 9Th of August of
that year, he said:
''Some of the laws of finsnce-I may
say al the great laws OF finance -are 40
certain in their operation and a. irresis-
tib!e in their force Is the law Of gravita-
ton. If you throw . stone into The cir
you know it will come down. Why?
Because it is drawn toward the center of
the earth. The law upon which We base
our fight is as sure Is the law Of grsvita-
ton. II We have gold standard, prices
are a. certain to fall as the stone which
is thrown into the air.
This quotation is authentic, being
taken from Mr.. Bryan's book ''The
First Battle" page 3O1.
Since that speech the gold standard
has been adopted-6rst by the Repub-
licans and later by the Democrats,
Mr.. Bryan himself stumping the ooun-
try for the gold standard candidate of
his party. And how about prices?
About the only thing that has fallen
is the rate of interest ON real estate
loans and the reputation of Mr.. Bryan
as q political prophet.
On the day, August 8, 1896, that
Mr.. Bryan predicted At Newton that
the gold standard would reduce the
price of farm products, the following
prices were being paid for wheat, oats,
corn and hogs in Platte county:
Oats-8c to 13c.
Wheat-32c to 35c.
COrn-12c.
Hogs-$2.25.
Now note theaccuracy of Mr.. Bryan
a. . prophet. On the 18th day of
August, 1908. twelve years after the
Democratic candidate had predicted
disaster to the American, farmer and
business man, farm products we're SELL
ing in Platte county At the following
prices:
Oats-41c.
Wheat-8O!c.
C0rn-65c.
Hogs-$580.
The prices, instead of declining, have
advanced.

STILL FOR FREE SILVER.

STILL FOR FREE SILVER.
Mr.. Bryan has "never recanted,"
says the New York World. Most
assuredly he has not He has never
recanted is to 1, nor free silver, MOI
initiative and referendum, nor govern
ment ownership, nor anti-imperialism,
nor extension of the powers Of the gen.
eral government by judicial construc-
tion," nor popullsm, nor government
loans to farmers, nor greenback-infla-
ton, nor any other of the thousand
and one remedies" he has "discov-
cred" True, he does not noisily adj
vocate all of his we'll known heresies
just now. But Why? Because he has
abandoned them? Not at all. He
has merely placed them in temporary
hiding because their exploitation
might impair his chances of election.
We defy the world or anybody else to
point out q single instance of isavowal
of any one Of these precious "princi-
pies" by Mr.. Bryan.
What, then, would he do in the
quite probable contingency of deficit
and a decline in the treasury's supply
of gold? Would he maintain the sim
gle standard, s'Cleveland did? Or
would he direct the payment Of inter-
est upon the millions Of outstanding
"coin" bonds in silver? He would
have the power to do so through his
secretary of the treasury, without let
or hindrance from congress or the
courts. And would he not be justified?
He has "never recanted" the double
standard. 1t has simply "ceasedto be
an issue" But it would become an
issue quickly enough in the event Of
such happening IS that to which We
have alluded as possible, if not indeed
probable, during the next four years.
And what could be expected of Mr..
Bryan! Would he give the lie to
every word he has ever uttered and
"never recanted" respecting the true
relations of the two metals. Would he
fly in the face of the millions of free
silverites whose apostle he has been,
and who have stood behind him all
these years? Would he have the
moral right to break faith with them?
And who would have a just claim upon
him to do otherwise than put the
country upon . silver basis when, with
full knowledge of the fact that this
has always been the cardinal principle
of his creed, the people had elected
him president of the United States,
and 80, according to the new interpre-
tations, had conferred q mandate"
