: 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Issue bnv never been rescinded or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

All of which. It 1 respectfully tub

proverbe 'of . Bolomqn Into his s.tumf
snoerlmi as he wat when he aoop
tho "cross of gold" at one of bit cam
palgn trappings. . .
When the votet are counted Mr
Bryan will feel at though he had beet

Mr. Bryan would have fared better
In Delaware bad be gone there looking
for peaches instead of vote.

ber that he It sure of being elected in
November, It reminds one that be wat
also elected In September, 1800, and In

Saved Hit Boy't Life
"My. three year old boy was badly
constipated, had a high fever and
was in an awful condition. I gave

Where Bullets Flew
David Parker of Fayette, N. Y., a
veteran of the civil war, who lost a
foot at Gettysburg, says: ,"The good
Electric Bitters have done is worth
more than five hundred dollars to me.
I spent much money doctoring for a
bad case of stomach trouble, to little
purpose. I then tried Electric Bit
ters, and they cured me. I now take
them as a tonic, and they keep me
strong and well. 50c at Charles Rog

(Speech is silver, but the goldou

maintain parity and maintain Repub
lican doctrine as the tound basis of
political value,
It It Instructive to observe thousands
of wago eiiniert whose votet Compere
hat nsHUincd to "throw" to Bryan
march In the Toft processions.
A murdering Filipino bat been sen
tenced to pay a fine and to bo execut
ed. Ills feelings must resemble those
of a Democrat asked for a campaign
contribution.
Political' revolutions cast .tbadowt
before. The Republican west, golden
with tunshlne nnd fat with harvests,
throvvt no slnlMior portent of departure
from Its linppy union with Ohio and
New York.
Jryan Is as shy about his abandoned
issues as are some start In the theat
rical firmament about thai matrimonial
alliances they have severed.
,....'", ' ,
What a present this time would bs
If the Bryan iwlillcal theories of the
past had been put Into practice!
The prosperous fanners of this coun
try must be tndly puzzled as to what
Bryan It talking about when he tayt
they have been "neglected."
Peace, order, prosperity and contin
ued Independence these are worthy
ambitions that Republican policy In
tbe United Statea holds out to the tit
ter republics of the continent
gome left banded supporters of Bry
an assert that, with a Republican ten
ate to check blm, tbe Nebraskan could
do no harm as president Just think
what would happen with a Bryan sec
