"Murderous Gold Standard"

But during the four years succeeding
that speech Mr.. Bryan's agitation grew
no less nor did the demon which h'
had raised in his own Imagination hide
with diminished head, for in 1896 hi
again saw restitution threatening the
country. He had II remedy for 1t, /
panaceu fetish which he held up FOL

of the things Mr. Bryan said woulf

Bryan said:

BRYAN As PROPHET
FAILS TO QUALIFY
Disasters He ForetoId Never
Come to Pass.
OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE

As a prophet William Jennings Bry-
an has never been Il success. The ca
lamities which he has foretold would
haye brought unlimited disaster to the
country If they had ever been realized
But they never came to pass. The mar
rowing pictures which he painted were
merely pigments Of his Imagination
based Oh absolutely no foundation
whatever.
1t IS well to have Americans remem'
Der that prophecies uttered by the ora
tor of the Platte must he discounted
fully 100 per cent. for all signs indi-
cate that he feels the fates once more
and Is about to begin prophesy Ing
again. A male Cassandra. Mr. Bryan
might by this time have learned that
the forecast of evil will never he be-
lIeved by those who have found that
In the past his vaccinations have been
but empty air
"Driving Country to Ruin"
For instance. when Mr.. Bryan was
member of the house Of representa-
tiyes I'm 1892 he was absolutely certain
that protection was driving the coun-
try headlong TO rack and ruin, and In
his speech delivered March 16 Of that
year he drew the following agoniZing
pictures:
Protection has been our cannibal
tree, and as one after another Of our
farmers has been driven by the force
of circumstances upon that tree and
has been crushed within It's folds his
companions have stood around and
shouted, Great Is protection! Thus
In every state, so far as these stats
ties have been collected, the proportion
of home owning farmers Is decreasing
and that Of tenant farmers increasing
This means but one thing. 1t means q
land Of landlords and tenants, and,
backed by the history of every nation
that has gone down. l say to you that
no people can continue a free people
under free government when the
great majority Of its citizens are ten
ants of small minority. Your sys'
TEN protective tariff has driven the
farm owner from his land and sub.
stituted the farm tenant"
How far this picture portrays the
America of today or the America OF
any year since he made that speech
any American can answer Even In
Mr. Bryan's own state he can find an
answer right ut his doors, for the farm
lands of Nebraska have doubled In

GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.
Engineers apparently Doubtful of
PLANS Utility.

Ottawa, July 6.-The short by water from
the Great Lakes TO the Atlantic known as the
Georgian Bay Canal has been just reported by
engineers who have completed thes first compre-
hensve survey of the route.
Although it had been said that the plan to use
the French River from Georgian Bay, connecting
it by canal with the Ottawa River and dredging
that river to deep water Montreal making a
twenty-two-foot short route waterway would
lutonize the commerce Of the continent, the report
does not hold out much encoura cement for those
who expect that result
The engineers report that such a water route
about slO0, 100000.
The Georgian Bay Canal would be a little over
four hundred miles long from Georgian Bay to
Montreal. 1t would take seventy hours to traverse
the canal which would give a route from and
three-ifths to two days shorter than any existing
waterway from the lakes to the
Its carrying capacity would be Immensely
perior. The engineers make d statement however
which makes It doubtful If the canal will ever be
constructed. They say: Compared with the posi-
bic improved system of the St Lawrence canals to
a depth of twenty-five feet assuming that the
number Of locks would be greatly reduced probably
no practical saving in time of transit could be
claimed for the Georgian Bay canal route tho
saving in distance being Offset by the longer
stretches of lake and wide river navigation which
exist through the Lake Erie and Ontario route
where high speed would be permissible
1t is hardly probable the government will bring
in any legislation this session bearing the prof.
ect in view of the brief period between and
prorogation. 1t is probable a commission will be
appointed 10 report the cost of deepening the
ST. Lawrence and the Weand Canal systems to

which must be left until spring for final settlement

listed men an opportunity TO enjoy their shore
leave While the yacht at Oyster Bay the
men complained that there was nowhere to go and
nothing to do when they were off duty. and the
inevitable result was that they frequently drfted
into the saloons and found trouble. Last night
two of the Mayhower's men became involved In an
argument with restaurant keeper in the village
and were arrested by the uniformed poiice-
men who have been safeguarding the peace of the
Presidents home town for just three days An
