Bryan Wilson Clark.

William J. Bryan has dominated the
democratic party since the memorable
free silver campaign OF 1896. Twice
since that campaign he has been the
democratic nominee for president. Al.
though he felt sure that the democratic
nominee this year would be elected
he was not sure that he could obtain
the nomination, so he set about to
control the nominee. He knew he
could not, under any circumstances,
control Champ Clark, who was evidently
the choice Of the party, so he created
situation that made the nomination
Of Clark impossible and the nomination
of Wilson reasonably certain. His
plans worked on; all right aud now Mr..
Bryan is in a position to ask whatever
he may desire at the hands OF the first
democratic president since Cleveland.
He cannot be refused. His claims
are incontestible Wilson, uhen pres
ident, must defer to him.
But Wilson as president must reckon
with his defeated opponent as speaker
OF the house, for Champ CLARK will be
speaker again. Bryan cannot defeat
him and will not dare 10 tryit. Wilson
cannot safely oppose him. Clark has
a grievance that affects Bryan more
than Wilson but Wilson cannot escape

A SIMPLE MATTER.

There is no mystery or deep prob
lem IN the tariff proposition now he
fore the American people. The Re-
publicans, controlling congress aud
the presidency. placed on all foreign
products seeking the markets Of this
country a tariff tax sufficient to pre-
vent them being sold in American
markets low enough to interfere win
the sale Of similar products at a fair
profit This is called protection, and
Il has made American manufacturers
and farmers the most prosperous IN
the world. and American mechanics
and IabDrcrs the best paid. The DEM
ocrats, controlling congress and The
presidency. propose to levy tariff du'
ties solely with view OF raising rev.
enue and without regard to the protec-
tion Of American products OF any KIND
whatever. When this policy was tried
during the Cleveland administration
Il impoverished farmers, bankrupted
manuf. .cturers, broke banks, stopped
employment. reduced wages ana
oa-alyzeG the business Of the Country.
