deposit caves.
If MIR. Bryan and Congress in ac-
cord with his notions should be elected,
the period of uncertainty would be fear
fully prolonged. Mr.. Bryan would not
be inaugurated until March 4, 1909. If
Congress and President Roosevelt should
adopt conservative course next winter,
yet the business of the country would
merely adopt waiting policy and prepare
for what the next President might have
In store. But the stagnation OF this next
winter would not be the limit by any
means of the stagnation or of the con-
dition which makes for stagnation. Bryan
Congressman elected this fall would not
take their seats in regular session until
the first Monday In December, 1909, and
in that fact there Is indication of post
ponement of industrial recovery for more
than full year from election day. Nor
is that all. The new Congress would, In
all human probability, not find itself and
get under full Roadway, so that its aims.
the purport of its legislation and policies
could be accurately determined, until the
following spring, or until March, 1910.
The proposal to elect Bryan. from the
standpoint Of the worker who wants to be
sure of securing employment and of the
business man who wishes to be assured
that he may proceed safely, is likely to
result in postponement, for two years,
Of that time of peace and plenty-that
plenty of other things than empty freight
cars-which all the people want consum-
eddy.
Suppose that Mr.. Bryan but not a
Democratic Congress should be named,
the situation would not be much better
Let It be assumed that Mr.. Bryan. in the
ELUSIVE language of Senator Beveridge
is, though not an Aaron. Moses; Pat
rick Henry. but not Washington; Wen
dell Phillips, but not Lincoln. Or let IL
be assumed that he is just what he is, the
most energetic and skillful agitator this
country has ever known, and 1ntelllgen'
men, knowing the immense power and In
fiuence welded by the Chief Executive
will conclude that Mr.. Bryan, at cross
purposes with Senate and House for year.
and appealing with all the force of Chic
Magistrate to the excitable elements o.
the country-now grown conscious o.
their power-would create conditions
which the moderate man who wishes th'
wheels of industry to hum cannot contem
plate except with deep misgiving.
"Mr. Bryan can raise the whirlwind o
discomfort, he is skillful In disturbing tn
country; his constructive policies are al
destructive.

blunt and intelligent workingman, whose
letter is too long for publication. says that
there is ''lot of blather" in politics. and
he would like to know what the ordinary
skilled workman is to get If Bryan Is
elected and what Taft has to offer
'sThose two inquiries embody large
part of the pertinent question for the mass
of the nation, and the grist of the answer
may be given in few words: If Taft be
elected there will be rest, recuperation,
confidence and prosperity; II Bryan be
elected there will be acute danger OF un-
rest, lack of confidence and uncertainty.

now by slow, labored and painful effort

a nation should desire to see this Republic

four years, which candidate would hevote
