Bryan Badly Wixed.

Judging from his Nebraska platform,
we should say that Mr.. Bryan's political
coat is becoming very much of crazy
quilt.
His proposition to increase and perpet-
uate the National debt, necessarily bene-
fits the capitalists, and broadens the foun-
dation upon which the National banking
system rests.
Therefore, Mr. Bryan is, in part at
least, disciple of Alexander Hamilton.
His proposition to use the proceeds OF
the bonds to give jobs to the unem-
ployed, is rank Socialism. That kind of
thing was too much even for the Union
Labor leaders in the British Parliament,
and they indignantly voted against such
a bare-faced prostitution of the powers
of government. We cannot conceive OF
any policy more likely to be ruinous in
practice than that of taxing the employed
to furnish jobs for the unemployed. The
result of such an insane experiment would
be to fasten upon the honest industry of
the country all of the hoboes and profess
sional deadbeats Besides, it would so
discourage the real workers Of the land,

TEFFERSONIAN,
STILL FEAR THAT MR. ROOSEVELT
WILL BE A CANDIDATE.
(From Augusta Herald. J

Since Mr. Roosevelt, in his earnestness to
secure the republican presidential nomination
for Mr.. Taft, went so far as to declare that
if those who are fighting so hard to prevent
Taft's nomination would not take Taft they
would have to take Roosevelt, the talk about
third term for him has revived. Mr.. Bel
mont is quoted as saying in an interview In
Washington the other day that:
No professional politician ever announces
his candidacy for the office he covets. Mr..
Roosevelt s inability to keep his hands off in
dicates to many the purpose OF stampede IN
the convention to overthrow his declaration
that he would neither seek nor accept a noml
nation. The president is said to be de-
claring to his immediate surrounding friends
that if the Chicago convention does not accept
his choice he will take the nomination himself.
This opens wide the field for interesting
speculation as to the next presidential cam
paign. The predatory corporations do not
want Roosevelt as president for another term.
They would almost as soon have Mr.. Bryan.
They are evidently afraid also to trust Mr..
Taft, who is credited with the intention of
tracking Roosevelt s footsteps should he be
elected They have been laying the wires for
his defeat in the convention, and with so many
candidates in the running Mr. Taft's chances
of securing the nomination seem to be grow
ing very slim.
Now comes Mr. Roosevelt and says that if
Taft doesn't get the nomination he will take
it himself This may be only big bluff he is
playing, but also it may be fair warning to
his political enemies of what he intends to
do Suppose the republican convention fails
to nominate Taft and is deadlocked, could it
be stampeded for Roosevelt? Most people

value. Today it is worth every cent that
it cost the purchasers. In other words,
that which was worthless when issued is
now worth as much in the market as it
was when it was unloaded on the vic
Tins. Those who held on to their stock
throughout these long, dreary years since
the Steel Common was un1oaded on the
public, may draw breath of re1ief-but
they will doubtless carry, as long as they
live, the remembrance of the anxieties
they suffered
Those who were not able to hold on
what of them?
Years ago, they went to the bottom and
the rise and fall of Steel Common affects
them no more forever.
When value was put into that issue of
Steel Common, it was put there by law.
Could the law put value into $780,
100000 of fictitious capitalization with
out taking the value from somebody?
When water rushes into vacancy, it
lessons the amount of water left some
where else.
When value went into that enormous
issue of watered stock, it 1essened the
amount of wealth held elsewhere.
From whence came money that put
value into Steel Common? From those
who were caught in its monopolized mar
ket prices When the Steel Trust became
able to earn $II9,ooo,ooo per year, clear
profit, and could then jump from that sum
to $I6o,oo4,673, even the Common Stock
absorbed from the victimized American
public a value which never honestly be-
longed to it.
The Tariff shuts out foreign compe-
tition and gives the Trust monopoly
of the market. Therefore it can charge
extortionate prices. Thus it can force
value into $500, 900 of worthless stock.
And it is thus that the law takes from
the many and gives to the few.
