NEW YORK. July 13.-Thomas E. Watson, nominee of the People's party for President, and once nomi nated" by that party for Vice-President" on the same ticket with Bryan is a long telegram to the World makes a bitter attack on William J. Bryan, Democratic candidate, in the coarse of which he sys To cater to the financiers, to dis arm the hostility of the National bankers, to court favor from the rich and the great, Mr. Bryan becomes a dTeserter from the cause of the un privileged masses, into whose cham pionship he rushed in 1896 with a Soldness which captured applause and with a fervor of lip which seemed to flow from honesty of heart. Quoting without credit the words of another, he sprang into fame on a phrase, and was followed with passionate zeal by the millions who did not want to be cducified upon 'a cross of gold.' The Constitution of this country is still the same that it was when Bryan thrillingly promised the people im munity from a 'crown of thorns.' The money system which he denounced is iust the same infernal thing that it was in 1896; its victims, the hnancial-f ly dead and the financially wounded, still litter the fields 'over wjiich swept the desolating panic of last year, but Bryan has changed. "No longer the enthusiastic tribune of the people, he is a truckler to pow er, a recreant from pledge and prom ise ,a calculating, selfishly ambitious politician, who would betray any friend and apostatize from any peo ple to win the prize. It is in Bryan that the change has taken place; it is in Bryan that there has been a falling awav it is in Bryan that we find the unclean spirit. Insteatl of standing to his colors like a man, putting devo tion to duty above every other ear.thly consideration, thereby winning a place in the loving admiration of the people more splendid than the highest office, he has taken the broad and well-trod path of political prostitution."

Oak trees were then chief ly valued because of the acorns which they produced. In Anglo-Saxon records for the year 1118, which Is descrllwid as " ?ery calamitous year, the crops being spoil ed by the heavy rains, which came on Just tfore August and lasted till Can dleinns," It is exprensly mentioned as nn ajrgravatlon of the "heavy time" that "mast was also so scarce this year that none was to be beard of In all thin land or in Wales." The days of mast bread are happily gone forever, and even barley bread, In common use dnrlng severe winters not so many years ago, has now every where given place to that of "the finest wheat flour."
