in the second hour in the course of
some narrow fluctuations. Reading,
Northwestern and Canadian Pacific

ket was unchanged in the late after
noon. Business was practically at a

8 p. m.-The market closed heavy
and about stagnant. Prices hardened
an additional small fraction in the final
hour, but the market offered no
feature. There were slight recessions
again towards the end of the day.

his election would cause serious business
disturbance. He even charges that utter
ances of this nature are attempts to "brib-
cry and coercion of the voters.
Why should Mr.. Bryan feel so deeply on
this point in his campaign? In 1896 he used
precisely the same argument with laboring
men and farmers to secure voters. In every
address he assured them that the defeat OF
free silver meant the certain reduction OF
wages. He told the Kansas farmers that
The triumph Of the gold standard meant
Decent corn and that the price of wheat
would follow the price Of silver"
In 1900 the Nebraska candidate became
even more discouraged over the outlook FOL
the country is case of McKinley's election
and made his famous utterance in regard
to the elimination of the celebration OF
The Fourth of July in the event of tht
success OF Imperialism
Mr.. Bryan in the present campaign alsC
has been far from conservative In his
prophecies of evils ard disasters sure Il
follow his defeat. And no one hai
charged that he is attempting to "brlbe'
or to "coerce" the voters. Indeed, tn
separation of Mr. Bryan from the charac'
ter of a prophet of despair would have
robbed him practically Of all that has mad,
him so interesting and spectacular during
the last twelve years. And but for thest
two elements Of strength who would stand
Tor the assertion that Mr.. Bryan would
have been the democratic leader today?
