BRYAN AS PROPHET FAILSTO QUALIFY Di«a*ters He Foretold Never Come to Pass. OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE.

A* a prophet William Jerolnfi Bryau haa nerer been a autveeA The ca lamltloe which be haa foretold would hare broocht unlimited dlaaater to the country If they had ever been reallaed. But they Be*er came to pe»a. The barrowtnc plctnrae which he painted were merely dements of his Imacinatlon. based on absolutely no foundation It Is well to hare Americans feme: bar that prophecies uttered by the 01 tor of the Platte must be discounted' fully 100 per cent, for all i cate that he feels the fates ■ and Is about lo becln prophesying acaln. A male Cassandra. Mr. Bryan mlcht by this time have learned that the forecast of evil will never be be llersd by those who have found that In the past his vaticinations have been ■Drlvlno Country to Ruin." For Instance, when Mr Bryan was a member of the house of representatives In 1802 he waa absolutely certain that protection was drlvlnC the country headlong tc rack and ruin, and In his speech delivered March 10 of that year he drew the following agonizing "Protection has been our cannibal farmers has been driven by the force of circumstances upon that tree and has been crushed within Its folds his companions have stood around and shouted, ’Great Is protection!' • • • Thus in every state, so far as these statistics have been collected, the proportion of home owning farmers Is decreasing and that of tenant farmers Increasing This means bnt one thing. It means a land of landlords and tenants, and. backed by the history of every nation that has gona down. I say to you that bo people can continue a free people under a free goverun*it when the grwat majority of Its citizens are tenants of a small minority. Your system (protective tariffl has driven the farm owner from bis hind and anbsdtntad the farm tenant." How far this picture portrays the America of today or the America of »nj r»«r since he made that speech any American can answer. Even In Mr. Bryan’s own state he can find an answer right at his doors, for the farm lands of Nebraska have doubled in

▼aln*.

"Murderous Gold Standard.” But during the four years succeeding that speech Mr. Bryan's agitation grew ho leas nor did the demon which he had raised in his own Imagination hide with diminished head, for In 1890 he again saw destitution threatening the country. - He had a remedy for It. a panacea, a fetish which he held up for worship—free silver. Here are some of the things Mr. Bryan said wonll happen If the gold standard were con-

tinned:

"I reply that If protection 1 Its thousands the gold standard his slain Its tens of thousands." — From Speech at Democratic National tentlon July. 1890. “Do not let the Republicans beguile feu about the future. The future Is written In blood crashed out of you by gold."—From Speech at Erie, Pa^ At lust, 1890. “Ah. my friends, there Is another reason why people have gone Into the ■Sties aad left the farms. It is because four legislation has been causing the * * '* mortgtges upon the • Mark my words! If the gold 1 goes on and peopla continue' to complain the gold standard advocates Instead of trying to Improve the 3 of the people will be recoin g that yon close your schools so tost tbs people will not realize how much they are suffering." — From Bpeecb at Monmouth. HU October.

1890.

But whom hsy die gold standard •lalnl What 1 /lire did It write In blood? What district schools did It Close? Again the condition of the eoontry makes a calm reply confatlnc the Impassioned orator. Campaigning again In 1900 Mr. Bry cn decided that Imperialism was an •tear danger to the country. If It were sac tinned the Fourth of Jnly would Uforgotten by all Americans end the “spirit of “TO" would become a thing If the past Speaking at Lincoln Mr Bryan said: Sees Death of Patriotism. fight this year will be to cany sot the aantlmant of that song we have to often repeated. My Country. ’Tls of Thee.' If we lose, our children and out Afidren's children will not-aucceed t< Ms spirit of that tong, and calebralloor wt (be Fourth'of July will pass away, for the spirit of the empire will be upon Is there any spot In theae United States where the spirit of 1770 Is dead end forgotten nnd the Fourth of July a meaningless date on the calendar? One of the most ridiculous of tbesr

“BRYAN CAN DO NO HARM.' A Frequent Statement That Will Nat Bear Analysis The apologetic Democrat who' wants to remain regular and who baa swallowed Rryanlsm takas care to repeat as often as ho la accused of Inconsistency that Mr. Bryan can do no harm even If he Is elected. Ii la time that this statement was met and smashed. Mr. Bryan If elected could and would do a greit deni of berm In eo many ways that It la almuet Impossible lo eanmciate them. In the first place, be would have an opportunity during bl term to pack the supreme court, and no one doubts that be would so pack It that the confidence of the American people In It* greatest Institution would be loet or severely shattered. Mr. Bryan would appoint a cabinet from bis friends and not from hla ene mles, and It most be admitted that the best men In the Democratic party are not close friends of Mr. Bryan. He wonld appoint lodge* and district attorneys throughout the country who would carry out his designs aa far as passible, but the greatest barm of all that could come upon the people through the election Of Mr. Bryan would be the loss of confidence In business circles and the probable stagnation that would come over the country and remain for four years at least There Is no measuring this blight that would come to our nation through the election of William J. Bryan Wc endured It from 1898 to 1890 under a Democratic president of fsr sounder views and much more stable character than the present Democratic candidate tor president Mr. Bryan aa s weather vane wonld be a great sucress. but aa * president be would not only be a failure, but fallur-cs would come to every American Institution and every American industrial center.

Would Bo Suicidal For Colored Men to

One of the greatest negroes this country baa known, a leader of hla race and the honored confidant of President Grant and Secretary Fish, recently said: "It would be sul for colored men to vote for B They have nothing to hope for the Democratic party, which has dlsfranchlMd them In tbe south and which professes to regard them aa unfit for the ballot anywhere. The only chance for the negro la with the Republican party, and U will be a sad day for the negro when a Republican president will be elected without tbe rotes of negroes baring helped to

In view of the fact that Bryan self has approved negro disfranchisement In the «4|ith there can be no doubt of hla atU tede should be be ed to tbe presidency, while the southern Democrats wonld regard northern negro rotes for their candidates as an indorsement by tbe negro race of southern treatment of tbe ne-
