As a prophet WIJHain Jennings Rry
an has never been a success. The ca
lamities which ho has foretold would
iiavo brought unlimited dlsnster to llie
country If they had ever been realized.
But they never came to pass. The liar
"owing pictures which he painted were
merely figments of his imagination,
based on absolutely no foundation
whatever. '
It is well to have Americans remem
ber that prophecies uttered by the ora
tor of the Platte must be discounted
fully 100 per cent, for all signs indi
cate that ho feels the fates once more
,ind Is about to begin prophesying
cgaln. A male Cassandra, Mr. Bryan
might bj this time have learned that
tho forecast of evil will never be ho
nored by those who have found that
In tho past his vaticinations have bem
but empty air.
"Driving Country to Ruin.''
For Instance, when Mr. Bryan was a
membor of the House of Representa
tives In 1S92 ho was absolutely certain
thnt protection was driving the coun
try headlong to rack and ruin, and In
his speech delivered March 10 of that
yenr he drew the following agonizing
pictures :
"Protection has been our cannibal
tree, and as one after another of our
farmers has been driven by the force
of circumstances upon that tree anil
has been crushed within Its folds bis
companions have stood around and
shouted, 'Great Is protection !'
Thus iu ovory State, so far as those
statistics have been collected, the pro
portion of homo owning farmers Is de
creasing and that of tenant farmers
increasing. This means but one thing.
It means a land of landlords and ten
nuts, and; backed by the history of
every nation that has gone down, I say
to you that no people can continue
a free people under a freo government
when the great majority of Its citizens
are tenants of a small minority. Your
system (protective tnrlfT) has driven
tht farm owner from his land and
substituted the farm tenant."
How far this picture portrays the
America of to-day or the America of
any year since ho made that spoiicli
pny American can answer. Even in
Mr. Bryan's own State he can And an
answer right at his doors, for tho farm
lni. ds of Nebraska have doubled in
value.
"Murderous Gold Standard."
Dm during the four years succeeding
that speech Mr. Bryan's agitation grnv
no less nor did tho demon which ho
had raised in his own Imagination hide
with diminished head, for In 18.1(1 he
again saw destitution threatening tho
country. Ho had a remedy for It, a
panacea, a fetich which lie held up for
worship free silver. Here are some
of the things Mr. Bryan said would
happen If the gold standard wore con
tinued :
"1 reply that If protection has slain
Its thousands tho gold standard has
slain Its tons of thousands." From
speech nt Democratic National Conven
tion, July, 1890.
"Do not let the Republicans beguile
yen about the future. The future Is
written In blood crushed out of you by
gold." From speech at Erie, Pa., Au
gust, 1800.
"Ah, my friends, there Is another
reason why people have gone Into tho
cities and left the farms. It Is bo
cause your legislation has been caus
ing tho foreclosure of mortgages upon
the farms. Mark my words!
If the gold standard goes on and peo
ple continue to complain, tho gold stan
dard advocates Instead of trying to Im
prove the condition of tho people will
bo recommending that you close your
schools so that the people will not real
ize how much they are suffering."
Prom speech at Monmouth, 111., Octo
ber, 189(1.
But whom nns the gold standard
slain? What future did It write In
blood? What district schools did It
close? Again tho condition of tho
country makes a calm reply confuting
the Impassioned orator.
Campaigning again In 1000 Mr. Bry
an decided that Imperialism was an
other dauger to the country. If it were
continued the Fourth of July would be
forgotten by all Americans and the
"spirit of '70" would become a thing
of the past. Speaking at Lincoln, Mr.
Bryan said:
Sees Death of Patriotism.
"Tho light this year will be to carry
out tho sentlniout of that song we hare
so olten repeated, 'My Couutry, 'TIs of
Tlire.' If wo lose, our children and
our children's children will not succeed
to the Spirit of that song, and celebra
tions of the Fourth of July will pass
away, for the spirit of the empire will
be upon us."

'Thero is, of course, a slight falling

causo they want to sot a good example
