INSTRUCT FOR BRYAN.
DEMOCRATS ARE TOLD

The members o. the District OF Co
lurnbia Democratic Association. a. their
meeting IN the 8Iunsey building last
night, were warned of the necessity. fer
sending TO Denver a delegation instruct
ed for William J. Bryan. Among the
speakers were Representative De
Almond OF Missouri. Hughes OF New
Jersey, and Ryan OF New York and
Edwin A Newman, president OF the
association
Mr. Ryan predicted that the majority
OF the delegates from New York state
would vote for Bryan, and said that
If the Republican party dominates Sec
rotary Taft. ''the heir apparent" or

The Tide Against Mr.. Bryan.

When a brilliant Republican de
scribes Mr.. Bryan as an Old Man
of the Sea on the shoulders of the
Democracy. the Nebraskan's friends
sab 'Pooh!" The rejoinder, though
philosophical and reflective, does
not altogether meet the situation.
For it has come TO pass that Re-
publicans can speak of Mr.. Bryan
with authority. During twelve years
he has been the most shining proof
that, after all, the Lord is on the
side of the Republicans.
Democrats all over the country
feel this. They know that the
brightest Republican hope for the
campaign is that the DisapPearless,
as Mr.. Rodenberg called him, viii
drive the donkey They know that
Republican leaders count Mr.. Bryan
as a party asset. And they are get
ting mighty tired of marching val
iantly up to defeat for the sake of
him or any other man. This. from
The Richmond Times-Dispatch, viii
tell some of the story:
The idea that the Omaha platform. OF
any other platform already laid down,
is bound to be adopted, and that Mr.
Bryan or any other man is bound 10 be
nominated, is Inconsistent with the
very idea OF free conference. The pri-
mary essential of success is a cOnserv-
ative platform embodying the essential
PRINCIPLES Of the Democratic party, as
they have been since the party was
founded without novelties, and then

TO an obscurity where they can only
weep and gnash their teeth.
No table has yet been published
which counts for anything as to the
probable situation at Denver. Mr..
Bryan has, apparently, a clear ma
iority of the delegates. He would
appear not to have two-thirds. New
York. Minnesota, and now New Jer-
sey have plainly declared against
him. After an Endorsement carried
through by his old antagonist,
Roger Sullivan, announcement is
made that forty-seven of the Hi
nois delegates are against the Ne
brashan.
But the most significant indica-
ton as to the Democratic mind is
the attitude of leading Southern
papers. like the Times-Dispatch, and
the Charleston News and Courier.

No money to study the causes of

that of Europe to save the lives of
1000 of our fellows every year.
No money to gauge the flow Of

dispensable data for the reclamation

Too little money even to continue

Need of Currency Legislation.

A short time ago announcement
was made OF the engagement of
some millions of gold in New York
for export.
About the same time Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson issued a predic-
ton that the yield of the soil in
this country in 1908 is likely to
break all previous records
All along the line come announce
ments thai business is resuming'
factories reopening, unemployed
men returning to work.
Stocks in the markets are moving
upward; somewhat irregularly, 1t Is
true; but yet the tendency for some
time has been decidedly toward
better prices and stronger feeling.
Some remarkable recuperation in
railroad earnings has been shown
by recent reports.
All these and many other aspects
of the business situation and out
look point to the certainty that
money viii be in large demand be-
fore many months.
Gold moving abroad; immense,
perhaps record-breaking, crops to
be moved, with people certain to
want to market them quickly; wage
rolls increasing; stocks absorbing
more and more money. Does it not
appear plainly enough to be seen by
anybody that all this menaces the
country with possibility of another
prosperity panic next fall? Is it
not plain enough that there Is liable
TO be a time within the next half
year when there viii once more be

enough to meet all the suddenly-eN-
banding demands of business?
Another emergency, in short. is
impending. 1t may be avoided, but
conditions point today toward
strong possibility of a recurrence of
last falls troubles, for no better
reason than that prosperity IS go
ing to come back in such a hurry
that there viii be difficulty floating
it all at once.
For these reasons it seems pecu-
? liarly short-sighted of Congress TO
refuse emergency legislation. If it
cannot be passed under the name
of Aldrich, pass it under the name
of Vreeland, or somebody else.
Pass it with q time limit on the
operation of the measure, if that

which precipitated, last October, the
difficulties from which the country
has been suffering ever since.
