have flooded the Democratic national
committee with hundreds of kilograms
and letters expressing their disap-
prevail of such practices and their con-
fidence that the election of Bryan
means a restoration of business pros
perity.
Here is what a few of them say:
Michael Danahy, president of tha
Danahy Packing company of Buffalo,
n. Y: "AIl this talk that Bryan's cleo
ton will be detrimental TO business is
as unstable as a soap bubble. 1t is the
same type Of argument-no argument
at all that has been put forth
against the Democratic candidates
since C1eveIand's campaign. 1t repre-
sents the last clutching attempt of Re-
publicanism to block a sweeping Dem
ocratic victory. Let the calamity howl
ers do all the shouting they have
mind TO. They can do no harm TO the
intelligent voting class. Every reader
who reads of manufacturers signing
conditional contracts and predicting
depression, poverty and distress if
William J. Bryan is elected. can readi-
ly see through this fiimsy robe of pre-
tense and hypocrisy. The trust mag
mates. who put up this howl, are not
prompted by truth and patriotism.
Me and my money is their motto"
Perfectly Absurd.
A. j. Elias of lumber firm of q.
Elias & Bro. Buffalo. y. Y: 1T seems
to me that this talk to the effect that
if Bryan is elected the hard times will
be continued indefinitelyis too absurd
10 merit serious consideration. If it
is possible for rhe president to make
the times better or worse or to prevent
panics, why did not the Republican
president prevent the present panic? Or
If the present panic caught the presi-
dent unawares, why doesn't he abate
it, restore confidence and put the coun-
try in the same condition it was two
years ago? There is no road so long
but what ii has a turn: no day so
cloudy but what it will be followed by
sunshine; no period of prosperity so
desirable but what it reaches a climax.
The climax was reached last fall and
the bottom fell out of the dinner pail
Simply a Humbug.
]. A. Lepper Lepper & Tisda1e,
wholesale dry goods. Buffalo. N. Y:
''Bryan's election will not, in my opin-
ion, hurt business at all. The scare
about Bryans election is all humbug."
j. D. Balch. manager Kalamazoo.
Mich, cold storage and wholesale fruit
dealer said: Il believe Bryans cleo
ton will mean years of prosperity as
great as any we have ever seen. He is
not a menace to the business interests.
Competition is too keen to allow any
element to stop business long. The
business is going to be done just the
same. Endorsements of Taft by Car
negie and Rockefeller indicate plainly
that they believe Taft will be consid-
crate toward the trusts. Too few peo-
pie are controlling this country now,
and monopoly should be shaken loose"
Must DisIodge MonopoIies.
Sam SELF. clothier in Kalamazoo.
said: Il believe we have reached the
point where, to preserve this free gov
eminent for our successors. we must
dislodge monopolieS from control. A
handful of people are IN charge j
would act on the principles of our fore,
fathers in building homes and planting
trees for the future. AS a business man
1 cannot understand how he can be a
menace to business. The safety OF the
country now and in the future de-
mands Bryan's election
F. n. Shredder. a wholesale mer-
chant in Dubuque: Republican papers
tell of orders TO be cancelled if Bryan
is elected. We do not share this APP
prehension. We feel that the election
of Mr.. Bryan viii be beneficial to the
business interests of the whole coun-
try
F. A. Pradden of the Pradden Lum-
Der company at Dubuque: Our COM
pany has no fear of the result in the
case of Bryan's election. We have just
contracted for two new yards. to take
possession of same on Dec l."
Cry No Longer Frightens.
+ VI. J. Schrup of Dubuque: L feel
satisfied the interests of the German
Savings bank and Dubuque Fire & Ma
rine Insurance company (of which l
am president and principal stockhold-
err win be conserved by Democratic
success at this election. The cry The
wolf is coming no longer frightens the
people. l believe existing conditions
require a man like the great commoner
to turn d searchlight into the dark
places in the Republican household,
and smoke out public vampires like
Speaker Cannon"
Charles McHugh. proprietor of the
Harper House, at Rock Island, H.:
From my observation, based on per-
sonal conviction and judgment of trav-
cling men who stop at my hotel, l am
satisfied that if Bryan is elected we
shall have stable government sound
