DO the Veterans Live TooI.ong'

When the boys in blue were march
ing, fighting, starving, bleeding and
dying to say this nation In lS6l-6b'
W. J. Bryan was a baby in swaddling
clothes. November IS, 1892, at the
ripe age of 81, this Bryan wrote the
survivors of those old boys in blue as
follows:
"The next congress will have to
wrestle with one deficiency of 1885,
600, 900. This on account of pensions
for the next year, must be not less
than $50, 100000. 1t is therefore
easy arithmetic to perceive that the
appropriation that congress must
make for pensions at the next session
must aggregate not less than 1885,
100000. This tremendous sum would
of itself be enough to run a reason
able government. One would not
complain if it were an honorable debt,
but a large proportion is not debt be-
cause it was never earned by any act
of patriotism or heroic service. The
government is held up and despofled
of no mea portion of this, and ii
seems helpless to defend itself. One
cannot help being curious to know
how many o years it will take tc
exhaust the generation which feels
itself injured by the war. 1t is safe
to say that never did a generation
display such longevity."-Omaha
World Herald, November Is, 1892.
Will those of the old boys whose
remarkable longevity keeps then
with us, and their relatives anc
friends march proudly to the poll
this fall and vote for this Bryan TO
president of the nation they preserv
ed7 Or will they uot3-Cody Stock

out an official bulletin stating that
Mr.. Bryan would certainly receive
252 electoral votes. He got 176.

o November 3: THE fight is won.''
