THE PEOPLE RULEe"

Tune-"John Brown"
We have heard the wondrous query Of
Nebraska's Peerless One,"
As it sounded out from Fairview and
struck the nation dumb;
So we guess We'll keep on ruling, as for
many year we've done!
The people still shall rule!
Chorus:
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory,
hallelujah!
Glory, glory h%allelujah! The People
still shall rule!
In eighteen ninety-six you know, the
People thought they'd rule,
And give the Peerless Orator. some
more years at school;
But still in ninteen hundred he could
not the People fool;
The People still would rule!
"Shall the People ruler asks Bryan
Does he think the nation daft?
Is there any IOr WOnuer mat Tie
People see his craft?
OF course, they'll keep on ruling, and
their Leader will be Taft!
The People still will rule!
Taft is running on his record, while
Bryan runs away
From the Paramount Issues" which be
held the other day;
| And what he'll hold tomorrow no NOR
tai man can say,
The People still shall rule!
We believe In honest banking, but not
in guarantees
| To secure bank deposits that may tend
to foster thieves.
| However much such methods some Gun
ming knaves might please,
The People still will rule!
We intend to vote for William-but not
for William B.
| Our ballots in November shall be cast
for William T.
The defeat Of William Bryan will be
counted No. 3,
The People still shall rule.

The deposits in the State banks Of
Kansas IN Sept. l, the date of the last
call, were greater than ever before in
the history of the State-a total Of
over eighty-three million dollars, and
this within ten months after the panic.
During the eighty days between the
last and next to last calls the deposits
increased at the rate of 100000 a
day. The net increase for this period
was eight million dollars. The ma
tjonal banks will probably show an
equal gain for the same period.-To-

BRYAN THE FREETRADER
Stands To-day as He Did When in
Congress for Free Trade.
He Pronounced the Wilson-Gorman
Free Trade Bill Just and
Honorable.

In Inc record or MIR. Bryan's puDllc
career he is officially identified with
just one important measure of federal
legislation, and that the Wilson-G German
tariff act Of 1894. AS a member Of the
House Committee on Ways and Means
during President Cleveland's second ad-
ministration Mr.. Bryan assisted in pre-
pairing that measure, and in its COM
pleted form it bore his unqualified ap-
sharp and clear the dividing line be-
tween the Democracy Of Organism and
the Democracy Of Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Bryan pronounced the measure just
and honorable. President Cleveland de-
nounced it as "the creature Of perfidy
and dishonor," refused to sign it, and it
became a law without his approval.
The distinction thus drawn between the
Bryan Democracy and the Cleveland
Democracy continues to this day.
Free Trade Disastrous.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Bryan is posing
this year a the special friend and
champion of the farmers, it is worth
while to point out how their interests
were affected by the only important law
he ever helped to create. The Wilson
German act repealed the duty on wool.
On January /, 1893, two months after
President Cleveland's second election,
the sheep in the United States, accord
ing to official statistics, numbered Az
273,553 and were valued at 1925, 900, 254.
At the close Of Mr.. Cleveland's term,
thanks to the baleful influence Of the
free trade act which Mr.. Bryan had
helped to force upon the statute book,
the number of sheep in the country had
fallen to 36,S1S,643, having a value of
$6O,O2O,942 In other words. the sheep
herds had suffered q loss of more than
1O.OOO,OOO, or nearly 25 per cent and
the wool clip Of the United States had
declined in value about $3.50 600, OF
nearly so per cent, all through the op-
Grafton of a law which found one OF
its most ardent supporters in the per
son of 1.-THE farmers friend" William
]. Bryan.
In 1893, under the fostering care OF
tariff protection, the wool of the coun.
try amounted to 3O3.O 1000 pounds
in 1895, under the blighting effect OF
free trade. It fell to POO, 900 pounds
In 1891, with the tariff restored, II
rose to 800, 100000 pounds and to 316,
100000 pounds in 1902. During the
four years of President Cleveland's sec
ond term the measure which he de.
nounced as "the creature OF peridy and
dishonor," but which Mr.. Bryan never
theless enthusiastically endorsed, sad
died the American wool growers with
losses ~conservatively estimated at $780,
600, OOO.
But the wool growers were not the
only victims Of the Wilson-Gorman
Bryan perfdy. Every branch Of Ameri.
can industry suffered. 1t lowered the
duties on imports of manufactures and
thereby forced the closing of important
native industries and drove their en-
| ployes into idleness. Wages in every
branch OF Industrial activity declined,
the demand for every variety Of farm
products fell off, and the workingnen

The Publis welfare.
(From Governor Hughes Speech at
South Bend, Ind.1

(Fr0m Governor Hughes Speech at
South Bend, Ind.)
IF Bryan had been elected in 1896
the disasters that would have followed
would have prevented him from ever
being a candidate again.
1--WE are devoted to q line Of progress,
straightforward, honorable administra-
tton above every selfish advantage,
against every attempt to exploit the
people for private interest. We are de-
voted to the public welfare in establish
ing the stability Of honest enterprise.
We serve the Republican party because
we believe that through it these things
can be accomplished. In the heat and
turmoil Of political campaign it is i'm
p0rtant that we should preserve a true
and q proper sense Of proportion"
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1908-10-16

William Jennings Bryan stands to-
day as he stood in 1894, for free trade
and all that it means to American la
Dor and American enterprise. He can
not get away from the record, and
to get away from it. He is committed
to free trade as distinctly as he is to
free silver, and his own words show
that he will fasten those twin deviltries
upon the country If he gets the chance.

Mr.. Taft should hold to his original
resolution not to answer every state
ment made by Bryan. Give Mr.. Bryan
time enough and he will deny them all
himself.-Philadelphia Ledger.
