SOME ISSUES.
After discussing q number of issues,
Mr.. Bryan said:
"The only Republican argument that
we hear much of now is that Democrat
ic success will disturb business. Our
contention is that Democratic success
will revive prosperity. How can thes
Republicans threaten us with a panic
when Il panic came under the present
president and is still upon usa In
some respects 1t is the most acute
panic that we have had and there was
less in natural conditions to justify it,
That this panic still continues can be
proven in many ways.
First by the number OF men out of
enlployment--men anxious to work,
who are not able to find work to do.

mills, but the people can hardly be

THE Saturday Evening Post OF re-
cent date contains some statistics
which show that according to the re-
ports of tho New York savings banks
the number of accounts opened for the
year ending July was $4,000 less than
last year. while the number of accounts
closed was $4,000 greater than the year
before. The amount. deposited was

Sales of groceries classed among
luxuries: Sixteen per cent less in the
eastern states, is per cent less in the
southern states and Ii per cent less in
the western states. The falling off IN
biscrit and bakers articles and IN the
confectioners' trade shows substantially
the same percentage
ITO show how the trusts can evade
evils that afflict others l call attention
to the fact that a recent issue of the
Wall Street Journal shows that the
International Harvester company made
larger et&protits last year than in
any preceding year and the directors
of the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors of
the steel trust
IF the Republicans charge that DEM
ocratic success will bring a panic, they
ought to give bond that Republican
success will bring prosperity. And
who can furnish securityp Every panic
We have had came under high tariff:
the panic Of 1893 came a year before
the Mckinley law was repealed and
the panic of 1907 came under tariff SO
high that the Republican platform
pledged the party unequivocally' to
revise It Immediately. and Mr., Taft
says that the revision will probably
