Says Bryan Is Worth About s2oo,ooo

In the September American Magazine
there is an article containing great

legged great fortune that Bryan has
made. The article goes on:
at was scandal and must be de-
nonnced Ideas OF the extent of the
scandal varied with the various notions
of what constitutes a fortune. South
ern bankers and lawyers put it at about
a million. Their more prosperous breth-
rem from the North could not call a
million scandalous and they estimated
the Bryan pile at five millions.
"'And every cent of it made out Of
the Democratic party. He has capital
lied the notoriety we have given him.
If rumors of these conferences reached
Mr. Bryan they must have made him
pensive, for he is said to entertain a
respect for the dignity of dollar that
would meet the approval of Mr.. Rocke-
Teller. II never occurred to these con
spirators that to save even a miser-
able million dollars from the proceeds of
lecturing and writing would be impos
sible. We know little about Mr.. Bryan's
stock lecture except that it is said to
appeal to the kind Of intelligence that
adored the late Ian MacLaren. No
doubt he is well paid for his platform
appearances. No doubt he is over paid
for his writings. We admire Mr.. Bryan
as public character and as a first
class fighting man but we feel bound
to say that if we were advising any
young man who wished to cultivate an
English style, we should most certainly
advise him to give no part of his days
or his nights to the volumes of Bryan.
The truth is that Mr.. Bryan by very
hard work with pen and open face, Ivy

cred together about 100000. The writ
err personally regards this as scam
dalous fortune. but he cannot under
