NEW YORK. July 13.-Thomas

Bryan, Democratic candidate, in the

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."

Mut Bread
In Saxon and mediaeval times, even
after the Introduction of wheat and
other cereal, there can be little doubt
that acorns were regularly used by
the poorer peasants for the purpose
of making bread, and not only In sea
sons of scarcity, but as a general arti
cle of food. 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

nn ajrgravatlon of the "heavy time"
that "mast was also so scarce this year
that none was to be beard of In all
