But in his speeches MIR. Bryan

The Kansas Republicans do not
endorse government guaranty of

Bryan. They favor a law that
will enable the banks of the
State to form an association to
mutually guarantee and protect
their business. This is quite diff

So to 80 cents, corn at 80 cents,
wheat at IL, cats at 81 cents per
bushel, and hay at 50 to $11 per

would give a picayune to help
elect Bryan and bring about free
trade that will enable the far
mers of Canada to come in into
our markets and compete on
equal terms.

The business men Of the conn


The business men of the coun-
try are more active in politics
now than ever before. This ac-
tivity was shown during the last
session of Congress when repre-
sentatives of business organiza-
tions aided in defeating propos-
ed class legislation; it was appa-
rent at the Chicago convention,
where it helped to vanish the ell
ements that would have commit
ted the Republican party to a
class propaganda, and it is to be
seen looming up in the campaign
as force that will be felt. All
of this is as it should be. No
citizen has better a better right
to take interest in politics, in
fact, upon none does the duty
rest more heavily than upon the
man engaged. in business, and
the more active he is the better
will it be for the cause of good
government.

The great seal of England consists of

ing about six and a half inches in d.
ameter by one and a quarter inches in
depth or thickness. 1t Is in two parts,
both smooth on the outer side, but elab-
orately engraved within. These two
surfaces are impressed upon a lump of
wax attached in an ingenious way to
any document to which her majesty as
sovereign gives her royal assent. The
weight of the seal is 1S5 ounces. Each
seal is engraved during the reign of the
sovereign whose name 1t bears, and the
collection presents a curious and accu-
rate epitome of English history. All
lord chancellors have taken the great
