Pour years ago the argument used by Bryan and other Democratic lead era to induce votes for their ticket was the demand for cheaper prices. They told the people that free trade would reduce the cost of everything the poor man had to buy. They rested their! whole case on the proposition that J American consumers by being allowed to purchase in the markets of th world, untrammeled by an Iniquitous protective tariff, could get a great deal more for their money than American producers were willing to let them have. They had much to say, too, about the moral principle involved In trade restrictions, and the spirit evinced by those who wanted American markets reserved for American people was de nounced as wicked, unchristian. Im practicable, narrow and selfish. The . answer to these specious pleadings was, of course, that, wages considered, our people could afford to pay more for their goods than the people of European nations, and that to throw open our markets to the unrestricted Importation of foreign products would be to reduce our wage earners to the level of European laborers. But all efforts of the Republicans proved un availing. The cry of cheaper prices tickled and caught the people. They were told and believed that there would be just aa much work in this country and at aa good wages under free trade aa under protection. They thought the operation of free trade would simply force American employers to surren der a portion of their profits, and that it would thus tend to make the rich a little poorer, but the poor would be made a great deal richer. It is not necessary to dwell on the result of the experiment. That Is not the object of this article: besides, to point out the contrast between the present condition of the average American citizen and his condition at the time of Mr. Bryan's last triumph Is calculated to excite bad passion, and might lead to still greater desperation. What we wish to call attention to is the remarkable change In Mr. Bryan's convictions on economic subjects, as shown by the position he assumes before the public today. At the last election he per suaded the people to vote for cheaper prices. He was then unsparing in his ridicule of the notion that America could or should be kept for Americans only. He thought the Idea of main taining our independence of Europe a silly, mawkish, and in many respects a dishonest sentiment He protested. even against the witness of the physi cal senses of many of his countrymen, that the people of Great Britain and other foreign lands were quite as well off as corresponding classes in America. There can be no doubt that Mr. Bryan said all this, and that he pretended to think exactly that way. There can be no doubt that it was upon this method that the Democrats conducted the last presidential campaign. There is no need to cite instances or specifically recall examples rf Mr. Bryan's public utterances to prove a h.s-tory w. fp in the reconeetlo:. of very t,ro.-.n per son in this country. It must be conced ed at once that the Democrats carried the last election on Just such false pre tenses and no other. But what Is Mr. Bryan saying now? What remedy does he now propose for the Infinitely great er disparity between the condition of the rich and poor which has been pro duced by the trial of his last exper iment? What does he now recommend as a means to restore the prosperity existing on all sides at the time he began his last campaign, and which he then promised should be Increased, but which he and his associates have In stead utterly broken down and destroy ed? He wanted to make goods cheap then; now he wants to make them dear. He says what the people need to cure their present distresses is to pay double prices for all they have to buy. He says that this thing of claiming that the world's markets have any thing to do with fixing the prices of American commodities is false; that It is unpatriotic; that it is a delusion; that it Is a scheme to oppress American labor and to put a crown of thorns on the bleeding brow of honest tollerB. He declares most positively that every man and every newspaper venturing to suggest that the London or Euro pean markets have anything to do with regulating the price of wheat or sliver is a traitor and in the pay of the money lenders of Europe. This is a fair contrast of Mr. Bryan's opinions in the campaign of four years ago with the arguments by which he hopes to be elected president in this one. Could mortal man be guilty of greater incon sistency? And isn't it enough to con demn him with every honest and intel ligent voter in the country? WHAT WE LACK. For what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Rom. vil., 15. Saint Paul, In coining such a state- ment nut of his personal experience nud making such a remarkable confession, draws us Into confidential relations! with him as a worthy teacher. HlSj hopes, his fears, his sttus'.os after the. Ideal and hi conscious failure to attain j It, exactly represent the dtffloulllosi which we dally encounter. If. therefore, ' he acquired any measure of spiritual ; success, we are curious to know how U I was done, for we may thereby be en-j ouraced to co and do likewise. I There is a large grnln of comfort , in the fact that lie found It so easy toi do wrong and so hard to do right, for' we long since discovered the same po-' cullarity In ourselves. If he found the secret by which the higher life can be reached, or this lower life transfigured, j and Is willing to Impart It, we shall ' listen to him very attentively. He tells us that !. - knew erfevtly well what he ought to do, b'l" .11 1 j not. That has been true . . a ture ever since the be ; . of the world. We know (-.. . i .. .. to. Utile. O' i ?. ihei. . .... - stance ... " ; we aie perplexed as to our d i; . but as a general thl and In the ordinary concerns of life ov knowledge Is i.rrV'.T.t. Instead of mo al courage. ..

The thief will not argue that thiev ery is right, but, on the contrary, will agree with you that tn the long run It is fatal to happliHK. and yet at that very moment he will steal In the full expectation that what he steals will render his happy. That Is one of the contradictions of human nature. The poor drunkard needs no one to tell him about the logical consequences of indulgence. His head Is clear on that subject, but his heart Is dull. He will even weep over his own folly and de spise himself as no one else can possi bly despise him. "But what I hate, that do I." This is another Instance In which human nature is a puxile to itself. i You would naturally say that when a man is convinced of the terrible char-1 acter of evil habits and the Inevitable, results which follow on their heels, j he will abstain on the purely selfish principle of self preservation. Will a man voluntarily Injure himself? Cer-j tainly he will. He will not only ruin his own life, but bring disaster upon : those whom he honestly loves with a deep and pure affection. I The passions, and I use the word in j its broadest and most inclusive sense, : are like a span of high strung horses j who take the bit Into thetr mouths. ! dash along the highway with madden-j ed fury, and end by breaking the car-! riage to pieces and laming or even kill-!
