nounced that campaign contributions
would be made public. Five days
after the announcement of Mr.. Tat,
had been made public, Mr.. Bryan
issued like statement.
The Republicans are willing to take
Mr.. Bryan's word, and do not question
his sincerity when he says that his
party will decline financial aid from
corporations. But what does the Dem
ocratic press say in response to the
statement made by MI. Taft-that the
law relating to campaign contributions
will be respected? The supporters of
Mr.. Bryan respond with the brutal
assertion that Mr.. Taft is liar; that
he does not mean what he says; that
he will violate the law-has already
done so, and will continue to do so.
Contrast the treatment which Mr..
Bryan receives from Republicans with
that accorded Mr.. Taft by Democrats.
Republicans are considerable enough to
treat Mr.. Bryan As a gentleman, while
Democrats openly denounce Mr.. Taft
as q man whose word is not entitled to
the respect Of his countrymen, although
he has been named as q candidate for
the highest Office in the gift of the
American people.

There is no 16-to-1 idea in the Bryan

the dogma Of 1896, nor any attempt
to revive it. Yet I am not so sure
that even on this point Mr.. Bryan has
changed 50 much as the community to

were told in those days that to con.

Bryan pointed out in conversation

now passed . currency law which will
enable the banks to issue money based
upon railroad bonds, upon commercial
securities, upon any asset which .
speculative bank cashier may take and
which an overburdened secretary of
the treasury may perfanctorily ap-

even today, with silver no longer an
issue, would doubtless be that a pre-

FROM FATHER ABRAHAM TO
BILLY BRYAN.

xAA&Nk T ~
BILLY BRYAN.
Forty-six years have passed away
since eighteen loyal governors Of
Northern states united in requesting
Abraham Lincoln to make call for
three hundred thousand volunteers to
supply the losses in the Union army
from death, disability and discharge.
At the time the call was issued, such
men as Horatio Seymour, Samuel j.
Tilden, Tom Hendricks, Pendleton,
Valandingham and other Copperheads
were declaring the var . failure and
doing everything within their power to
discourage Union sentiment in the
north, and q year later, when the
Democrats met in National convention
in the city of Chicago, the Copperhead
element in the party declared the war
a failure.
When Lincoln issued his call at the
request of the loyal governors, James
Sloan Gibbons, a young New Yorker,
aroused the north by writing q poem
which became the battle song
of the republic. The poem was
sung in every school house through
out the loyal states and by the
soldiers in their camps and on the bat
tie fields of the south. Below is the
first stanza of the celebrated song:
If you look up all our valleys. where the growing
harvests shine.
You may see the sturdy farmers boys fast FORM
ing into line;
pulling at the weeds,
And learning how to reap and SOW against their
country's needs.
And a farewell group stands weeping now at
every cottage door
We are coming. Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more!
These lines are not printed for the
purpose of reviving sectional feeling.
Republicans and Democrats of the
north fought side by side for the Union
in the War of the Rebellion. The
country is now united. The Old South
has passed away, and New South has
taken its place. To recall the part
the loyal people Of the North took in
crushing the rebellion is not waving
the bloody shirt. But there are some
things connected with the war which
the people Of the north will always
hold as sacred, and the poem written
by James Sloane Gibbons is one of
them. To pervert, or misapply, or
make parody of that poem for use
in a political campaign today by a
political party that denounced Lincoln
and the Union army as . failure,
should be condemned as inappropriate
and sacrilegious.
Below is the new" song the Bryan
Volunteers of Missouri have adopted
"as the army sweeps along"
If You look up all our valleys. where the golden
harvests shine.
You may see the sturdy volunteers fast forming
into line;
And the children and their mothers arc shouting
loud with glee.
As the Peerless Legion marches from the noun
tains to the sea.
And a mighty shout is taken up as the army
sweeps along
We are coming. Billy Bryan. three hundre
thousand strong!
If the Democrats are compelled to
wander back forty-six years to unearth
inspiration for a campaign song of
today, why not adopt, "Hurrah!
Hurrah! the blue ii be made red,
three cheers for jeff Davis and the
Red, White and Red" This was q
popular song forty-six years ago in
that section of our country where it is
conceded Mr.. Bryan will receive one
hundred and sixty-six electoral votes.

Toledo, Sept. 5.-The grand parade of the old veterans took place today being the principal feature of the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. The number of old sol diers in line was estimated at from eight to twelve thousand. An inter- val of half block was placed between each post and the long line took four hours to pass the reviewing stand, the march being made at a slower pace than the regulation quick step. On the reviewing stand were Candi- date Taft. Governor Harris, Senator Forake", Mayor Brand Whitlock and Grand Commander Burton. The in- creasing feebleness of the old men was very apparent, though nearly all were able to complete the march Many ambulances and comfortable carriages had been provided for those who became too tired, and the veterans have expressed their appreciation for the careful arrangements made for their comfort. Taft has been prom inent figure in the city during the en- campment and stood with uncovered head while the long line of soldiers was passing him.
