TRUE PROPHETS AND FALSE.
HOW TO TEST THEM.
"I will not dwiy that there may lie prophet to-dny, but the trouble In ta
tell the true prophets from the fa Ice one. The Bible fay that fiilite prophet
will rise. It tell u how to dltlnulnu the fule from the inn. It hj:

"TARIFF WILL CRUSH THE FARMER."
1802, Free Trade.
Thus In every State, o far a these
statistic hare !een oollerted, the pro
portion of home-owning farmer Is de
jreaslng ami that of tennut farmers in
creasing. This means but one thing: it
mean a land of landlord and tenant,
and, backed by the history of every
nation that has gone down, I Ray to
you that no people can continue a free
people under n free government when
the great majority of Its citizens are
tenants of a Binall minority." William
J. Bryan; speevb ou the protective tar
iff In the National House of Represen
tatives, March lti, 1892.
Tee Aaiwrr la IOOA.
The auswer Is found In the prevail
ing good prices for grain, corn, hog,
cattle, hay and till the product
of the farm, together with the
fact that since the date of Can
didate Brynn's "crushing" speech,
Western farm lands have doubled In
value, and thousands of "tenant" farm
ers of that date have become prosjier
ous home-owners, tilling their own laud
In peace, happiness and plenty. Under
the National Irrigation Act, and the
Republican conservation movement, the
West Is soon to be the Intense agricul
tural and horticultural producing area
of the United States.
"GOLD STANDARD WILL DESTROY HOMES."
189A, Free Colnaaje! 10 to 1.
"I reply that. If protection ha
lata Its thousands, the gold standard
has slain Its tens of thousands."
William J. Bryan; speech at Demo
cratic National Convention, July, 180!.
"The Democratic party has begun a
war of extermination against the gold
standard. We ask no quarter; we give
no quarter. We shall prosecute our
warfare until there Is not an American
citizen who dares to advocate the gold
standard. You ask why? We reply
hat the gold standard Is a conspiracy
against the human race, and that we
should no more Join In It than we would
an army to destroy our homes and to
destroy our families." William J. Bry
an ; speech at Albany, N. Y, August,
1896.
The Amnrr In 10OH.
The gold standard lias "slain" no
one, nor did it write the "future
In blood," nor did It destroy our
homes nor foreclose the farm mort
gage, nor did It close the dis
trict school ; on the contrary, It has
proved the sound and solid foundation
of widespread prosperity, leading to In
dividual progress and happiness, aided
In paying off the farm mortgage and
expanding the country's educational fa
cilities. It has brought euch prosperity to
our country as was never known before.
Americans are the hnpplest and most
prosperous people on earth to-day.
"NO MORE FOURTH OF JULY."
1900, Imperialism!
"The fight this year will be to carry
out the sentiment of that song we have
bo often repeated: "My country, 'tis
of Thee.' If we lose, our children and
our children's children will not suc
ceed to the spirit of that song, and cel
ebration of the Fourth of July will
pass away, for the spirit of Empire will
be upon us." William J. Bryan ; speech
to the Bryan Home Guards, Lincoln,
Neb., July, 1900.
The Anavrer In 1908.
Answer this for yourself. Do you
know of any spot In the United States
where the spirit of 1776 Is dead and
forgotten and the Fourth of July a
meaningless date on the calendar?
On the other hand the humblest citi
zen Is growing prouder of his American
citizenship and the spirit of 1776 1
permeating the entire body politic.
"ROOSEVELT THE SPIRIT OF WAR."
Independence, Oregon
Opposite Little Palace Hotel
1604, Antl-Rooaevelt.
"I would rather gfjo down to eternal
Oblivion than be Instrumental In the
election of Roosevelt." William J.
Bryan, Oct. 17, 1904, while touring Indiana.
"The surrender of the present Presi
dent (Roosevelt) to corporate Influ
ences furnishes an excellent proor or
the wisdom of Judge Parker in making
the statement he has. But President
Roosevelt stands for militarism.
The present occupant of the White
House (Roosevelt) represents In an ag
gravated form the warlike spirit, as
contrasted with the pacific policy that
as heretofore characterized our na
tion." William J. Bryan, in a speech
at Springfield, Mo., Sept. 1, 1904, where
he accused President Roosevelt of sur
renderee to the corporations and hold
ing "bloody, brutal and barbarous" sentiments.
The Answer in 1908.
President Roosevelt, Instead of rep
resenting the" "spirit of war," stands
before the world the greatest ex
emplar of International peace in his
generation. History will in full
season award him the title he
has Justly won, and the greatest of
these will be "The Peacemaker," In
spite of Candidate Bryan's assault upon
him In 1904. Under President Roos-v
velt's policies the United States ha
taken Its place In the front rank of
world powers. Taft Is committed to
continuing these policies.
'GOVERNMENT MUST 0W1T RAILWAYS."
1906, Government Ownership of
Railway..
"I have already reached the conclu
sion that railroads partake so mnch
of the nature of a monopoly that they
must ultimately become public property,
aad be managed by public officials in
the Interest of the whole community.
William J. Bryan ; Home-coming speeoh
at New York City, August, 1906.
The Anawer la 1908.
' The broad meaning of Candidate
Bryan's remarks on this subject Is
that railway regulation by statute
law 1 Impossible, and that "gov
ernment ownership" Is the only
remedy for transportation abuse
The enactment of the Federal Rate Law
has totally disproved the claim of
Candidate Bryan and vividly displayed
bis unsound reasoning on great pnblle
question.
