The political outlook in the W es, Is, I
believe, generally satisfactory to tliose
who are opposed to Mr. Bryan and the
things for which he stands io public life.
Io the extreme W es, Ids moat ardent
friend» are ready to concede that lie lia s
lost iniicli ground aioce (he campaign of
I 1896, and unless he can recoup liimself in
, tllc Middle West and East, his defeat will
i txs'ome a matter of certainty. Tbe Pacific
and which ha» been widely discussed in
the study of uatioual eccnctnic questions
of late years. Why not measure by thia?
A glauce at the table which ahowa the
relative prices of articles in 18581 and
1900 will answer thia question. It hap­
pen» that the percentage of increase in
the price of wheat is less than that of
auy other article of farm production,
since wheat ia more directly affected by
the production in other parts of the world
where crops have been generally g o,>4
during the last two seasons.
Wheat has only advanced Sil per cent
from 1896 to 15)00. while corn advanced
48 per cent, mess pork 60 per ceut, lard
68 per cent and wool 08 i»er cent. N o w
It is easy to see why the Democrats
“happened” to select this particular item
“wheat” by which to measure everything
else, simply because it shows a smaller
increase in price than almost any other
article in the list.
Yet they are gravely marching through
the agricultural regions of this country
stating to the farmer that “a bushel o f
wheat in 1900 will buy less of the articles
which yon consume than a bushel of
wheat would buy of those same articles
id 1896.“ Let us accept the challenge.
Mr. Bryan's first nomination occurred
on July 10, 1896, and his second nomina­
tion on July 5, 1900. The records of the
bureau of statistics show that the high­
est price of “No. 2 red winter wheat,”
a standard grade by which all others may
•■»-sv
—
The Democratic fault-tinder» base their
effort» to create discontent among the
farmers in UKO upon a different plaue
from that of 1896. Then their complaint
was that the price» of farm products
were too lew Now they complain that
the farmers are too proaperoua and the
price« of their products are too high.
Mr. Bryan was nominated in Chicago
on July 10, 1896. and again at Kansas
City on July 5. 1990. I.et us take the
quotations of the first week in July,
1896, and July, 1900, the respective dates
are brought as nearly as practicable to
the dates of his respective nominations.
Nobody will question the fairness of
selecting wheat, corn, oats, lard, pork,
beef, cotton, wool, hay and butter as
ten representative articles of farm pro­
duction, nor will anybody question the
fairness of »electing sugar, tea, coffee,
rice, petroleum, leather, cotton cloth, tin
plate, sisal (from which binder twine is
made) and Bessemer pig Iron (the basis
of all agricultural requirements in iron
and Steell as ten representative articles
of farm consumption.
The tables which follow show the
prices of the ten articles of farm produc­
tion and of an equal number of articles
of farm consumption at the dates named
and the percentage o f increase in each
article, also the average inerca«e, at the
date of Mr. Bryan's second nomination
as compared with the prices at the date
of his first nomination:

'flic Democratic party cannot be both
Democratic and Populistic. L'nder Mr.
Bryan it is Populistic. It is so out
power. It would be inoré so in power.
The ls**t example of what he would do
with the p art/ if
power is shown in
bis ow
an sta te, wheré even the kind o£
1 lemocrats they have in Nebraska are
Ohly allotted one or two minor otftdes,
while (he Populists are given all o f im­
portance.

^Vhcii Mr. Bryan Is eliminated D e m o - (
cru lf can readily ussinne s position of re­
spect and lulliKiice In tbe Democratic
party, uftil until lie is they ought to fight
against him. They esu nid the party best
by rescuing it fvmn Populism by defeat-'
ing Populistic enndiilute» ut the polls, not
by electing their candidates with the vain
hope that they can either reform them,
render them harmless, or prove them to
Is* pretentious boasters, publicly standing
for things which they never intended to
carry out.
As far ns I am concerned, I am going
to maintain my Demi»crncy by voting and
s|icakiiig against Mr. Brynn nnd those
who have debauched tbe party and placed
it in the attitude o f a defender of all the
isms (fiat disturb the country. I do not
believe in Bryanism in the West or Oro-
kerism in the East. If a continuation of
Bryanism and Crokeristn constitute De­
mocracy, sonnd political wisdom and hon­
est administrative ability, I do not wish
to l>e of it. But I do not believe it does,
and, therefore, I have faith in there Itelng
enough Democrats who are Democrats
from principle to defeat Mr. Bryan so
emphatically ns to make impossible tbe
things we linve witnessed during the past
years in alleged Denus'ratlc conventions.
I really would like to know what a
thoughtful Democrat thinks of reforms
wrought in domestic and foreign affairs
tlirough the combined wisdom and expe­
rience of William J. Bryan nnd Richard
Croker.

by an examination of
artiqle of farm
the tables that in ev » .,
producton named there has been an i n ­
crease in price ranging (with a »ingle ex­
ception! from 35 per cent to 68 per cent,
or an average increase in the entire se­
ries of articles of 45.8 per cent.
In the list of tbe articles of farm con­
sumption there ia a reduction in price
in two of tbe articles named, while the
increase in the other articles range» much
lower than that of the farm product»,
the average increase for the entire series
o t articles of farm coniumption being
19 per cent.
Thu» w# see that In ten representative
articles of farm consumption, the aver­
age Increase has been 19 per cent, while
in the ten equally representative article»
o f farm production, the increase has been
45.8 per cent.
Now to take the single item of farm
production upon which the fault-finder»
base their argument» and by which they
meaenre all articles of farm consump­
tion, namely, wheat. How do you sup­
pose it happened that they have selected
thia particular article “wheat," by which
to measute everything else? There Is

Now Jet J!? Ti° [j2w the sam e general

and by »electing ten principal article* of
farm consumption, obtain their relative ,
prices in the New York market in 1896
and 1900, at the dates nearest Mr. B ry­
an's nomination, and thus find out wbat
quantity of each bushel of wheat, at the
prlcea named at these two date», would

sumption »elected for this» comparison are
equally representative with those of farm
production above named, namely, sugar,
coffee, petroleum, rice, salt, leather, cot­
ton cloths, starch, mackerel and cut nails.
The authority for the prices is the same

which Mr. Bryan's elcctlou would have
upon the business lirtenwta of tbe coun­
try. In the minds of those who carry on
the affairs which make up our business

I look upon Mr. Bryan as the moat

day in public life. In the first Instance
be is a demagogue, possessed of a certain
quality of oratory which appeals always
to prejudice. In the second, he is welt
grounded in no branch of political econ-
owy and unsound in all. He would be
more unpopular with laboring men, if
elected, than, it is claimed, lie is popular
with ihem now. Is'cnusn his success would
paralyse business for a long time nt least,

sity would be without employment.

I believe President McKinley might to
be re-elected as largely ns possible by
Democratic voles. L'nder the present
domination of Mr. Bryan a conservative
Democrat esu find no plnce of influence
ill the party. Those who now return to
it after rejecting Bryanism four years
ago will find themselves without voice in
the administration. Thecy go back to ac­
cept Mr. Bryan's views. He does not
accept theirs. They indorse him he does
not indorse them; and, once elected, they
are not in a position, after changing front,

not approve of Ills public utterances aad

I hardly think the thoughtful judgment
of any citizen will say that the possibili­
ty that Mr. Bryan may do better in the
Philippines than President McKinley is
doing justifies an experiment fraught
with so much danger to the stability of
tilings at home. The question inny be
very properly raised whether a man who
is wrong on every important problem
which affects the citizens of the United
States at home can adjust and administer
CHORUS.

W e must know just what other people

W e must understand exactly
how to
reach them with least expense if we
would enter into the most ndvantageona
business relations w ith them.—Willlan»
