TUB WORMING ASTOlllAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, OCT. 10 t : Bryan Still For Free g!lver. , William Jemiingit Bryan bit bet gated to give a frnnk reply to the fol lowing questions "If you wtrt president and an txk gnoy theuld aria in whloh you wart eatlsd upon to exsrolse your dtsorttleti affirmatively to maintain tha parity bttwatn gold and allvar, what wouM you dot" . j''.;. ' ' TUo Inquiry In perfectly logltltnatew It rolntoa to ft momonroua 1hu which Mr. Bryan Iilmsolf forced upon tht people, and lilt utterance! upon that Issue bnv never been rescinded or modified to far a tha public la aware. Hit record la written In unmistakable language. In a speech on Oct 22, JSOfl, he said; want you to undsrstand that In thlt grtat eonttit for free ellver I am anlltWd, not for a year, not for four yaari. I am anllstsd for tha war, no matttr' how long that war may la it. I hall not eaasa te fight until tha gold standard, which hai eurtcd avery na tion that avar had It, It' driven out of the United Statea aorota the ooean and paok te the old world, whtre It be longs." ; Thoro la no equivocation In tbat declaration. It ia not tho utterance of a inert politician juggling a fad of the hour to advance bit own ambitions. It la rather tbe warcry of a tealot who profoundly bollevet that be bnt discovered an Infallible measure for tbe promotion of the public welfare and It resolved to fight for It until It bat been written Into the law of the land. Mr. Bryau't enmity to the gold ttandard It daugerout chiefly because It la absolutely sincere. He la enlisted for tlie war, and, having been repulsed la 1800, be wat again at the front In 1000, and In a tpcecb In Coopor Union, New York, Oct 27 of that year he ex claimed: "I have made no atttmpt to oonoeal my vlewa en the monty queatlon. I would be unworthy of your oonfidanee If I changed my mind ever to eult every eooaaion and In ordar te win vetaa. If I ahould aurrender my Idaai en allvar to beeome president, I might aa well aurrendar my Idaaa en trusts, Imperialism and militarism." It It only fair to Mr. Bryan to take him at bit word. Whenever be bat spoken on the money queatlon be bat repeated bit pledge of loyalty to the prlnelplot ho advocated In 1890 and 1900. There la not tbe shadow' of rea- ton to doubt that be la In favor of free silver just aa earnestly today as be wat twelve yeart ago. It would be a reflection upon bit sincerity to assume to the contrary. Mr. Bryan'a clear, consistent record on thla question and bit unrelenting hostility to the gold ttandard both warrant the conclusion that If be wore president and an emergency tbould arise In which be were called upon to exercise bla discretion affirmatively to maintain the parity between gold and tllver be would promptly refuse to do to. In tucb an emergency hi would And a longed for opportunity U ttrike down a monetary system wblcb be baa honestly and consistently op posed. If his own words mean any thing tbey mean that be would let tbe gold atandard go straight to araash, thus opening the way for free allvei and financial chaos. , Bryan, Purveyor of Proverbs. In the course of a speech at Elnora Ind Oct 6, J00O, WUllnm Jenningi Bryan again assured hit countrymen that the fight for free tllver bad nol been abandoned, but would go on until victory wat won. "When I tee a man," ho continued, "who has learned by experienco what be ought to have learned by reason I am reminded ol one of Bolomon'a proverbs, whlcb Is The wlso man forescetn tbe evil and hldoth himself, but tho foolish past on and are punished. " Mr. Bryan'i purpose in quoting fron Solomon wat to admonish hit uearen that it wat time for the wise man tc get Into line for free coinage at 10 tc 1 and that tho foolish who refused tc do to would eurely bo punished. Er erybody knowt what happened In No vomber of thajt year. Indeed, someol Oct. Official Compiled ly the U. S. Government for Astoria and Vicinity. OCTOBER, 1908. High "Water, A. M. P.
