you say that you have advo-
Gated more radical measures
against private monopolics than
either or my party associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have, indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi-
cal, but they have the prime de-
feet that in practice they would
not work. should not In this
letter to you discuss your attl-
tude on this question II you did
not yourself bring it up, but as
you have brought 1t up, | answer
you that in my Judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly ineffective in curing
single evil, and so far as they
had any effect at all, would mere
ly throw the entire business OF
the country into hopeless ard ut
ter confusion. l put Mr. Taft's
deeds against your words. l ask
that you be Judged both by the
words you wish remembered. and
by the words that seemingly you
and your party now desire to
have forgotten. l hold II
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish
to see you placed In the rresi-
dencv rather than Mr. Taft yo,-

Of these corporations are wholly
chimerlcal. - Theodore Roose-

Big Western Bank Deposits.

The deposits in the State banks Of
Kansas on 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
tional banks will probably show an
equal gain for the same period.-To-

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

In the record OF Mr.. Bryan's public
career he is officially identified with
just one important measure of federal
legislation, and that the Wilson orman
tariff act OF 1894. AS n 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-
proval. His advocacy of the bill drew
sharp and clear the dividing line be-
tween the Democracy OF Organism and
the Democracy of Grover Cleveland.
and honorable. President Cleveland de-
nounced 1t as "the creature of perfidy
and dishonor." refused to sign it, and it
became law without his approval.
The distinction thus drawn between the
Bryan Democracy and the Cleveland
Democracy continues to this day.
Free Trade Disastrous.
Inamuch as Mr.. Bryan is posing
this year as the special friend and
champion of the farmers, 1t 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 Al
2T3,553 and were valued at Sl25. .9O9, ,25I.
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.S1S643, having a value of
$6O,020,942. In other words, the sheep
herds had suffered loss of more than
100000 or nearly % per cent, and
the wool clip OF the United States had
declined in value about S5S.OOO. 900, or
nearly so per cent, NIL through the op-
Grafton of law which found one of
its most ardent supporters In the per-
son of "the farmers friend" William
]. Bryan.
In 1893, under the fostering care Of
tariff protection, the wool of the coun-
try amounted to 3O3,OO0OO0 pounds;
In 1895, under the blIghtipg effect OF
free trade, 1t fell to 2O9,OO0, 900 pounds.
In 1891, with the tariff restored, 1t
rose to 3O2, 100000 pounds and to &c.,
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 perfidy and
dishonor." but which Mr. Bryan never
thclcss enthusiastically endorsed. sad

losses conservatively estimated at $780,

But the wool growers were not the
only victims OF the wilson-Gorman-

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT

The Weedon-Chapin $1,000 dam
age suit trial came to an end at $50
last night, when the jury returned II
verdict for the defendant. This hap
pened some hours after the jury had
once come into court and reported
that they could not agree. The
Judge insisted. however, that they
should try again, and sent them
back.
This was the second trial of this
cause, the first trial resulting in a
split jury. Weldon was suing Mrs,

told us that it was well to be on the

killed some that were 4 feet long. So
we slept in our big wagon that night,
but we saw no rattlers.
Next morning we drove on about
10 miles, reaching this ranch, where
