BRYAN ADVANCE AGENT
OF PROSPERITY
Remedies Which the Demo Party Offers to the
Restoration of Confidence and Quetude and
Even. Equitable Prosperity. The Roosevelt Panic
Measures Republican Failure

The effort of the Republicans to
create a Bryan scare have not only
fallen fiat. but Mr.. Bryan is taking
the wind from their sails by pointing
out the necessity of remedies and pol
icies advocated only by the Democrats
for the restoration of confidence and
the return of prosperity:
THE Democratic party is absolutely
necessary to restore prosperity. The
Republican party has had its chance
md it has failed. We are now in the
midst OF a depression for which nat
ur;sI conditions furnish no eXcuse.
Artificial conditions are responsible

hc assets are worth. in fact, the
mount at which they are placed,

This tremendous loss comes at
time when crops are reasonably good
and when nature has not withheld her
bounty. 1t comes when the RepuDlI-
cans arc in complete control. They
have Il President whom they eTlogize
in their platform. a Senate completely
in the hands OF the Republican party
and a Republican House OF RepPeSen-
tatives dominated by dcspotic
Speaker. We can assume, therefore,
that they have done everything they
could do consistently under their poll
fies to prevent Il panic, and yet the
panic is here. Tt comes, too, when we
have a tariff so high that even the
Republicans promise unequivoeaily to
revise 1T zinmediately. and MIR. TAFT
has Ventured tfe-ol1inion that the re-
vision will probably be downward.
What does it promise to do for the
protection of the public? What poll
cies has 1t that look to a restoration
OF prosperity?
said recently in a speech that the ex-
ports of cotton goods from Lancashire
had increased eleven per cent over
last year, and he declared that the
had fallen off forty-five per cent in
the same period. If this is true, how
will the protectionistsA explain it?
.'The Republican party cannot eS-
cape from its record. 1t is important
to protect the public, because its poll.
