i 8M IS PHOPHET | FAILS TO 0U1LIFY e / y Disasters He Foretold Never « Come to Pass. a \ t OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE. J e Gold 8tandard Doas Not 8lay, Nor ^ Doas It Writ# Future In- Blood. " As a prophet William Jennings Bryjj an has never been a success. The cay la ml ties which he has foretold would e have brought unlimited dlaastfig to the t country if they had ever been realiaed. r But they never came to pass. Tbe haru rowing pictures which be painted were 1 merely, figments of bis imagination, r based on absolutely no foundation ® whatever. e It Is well to have Americans remems ber that prophecies uttered by the orae tor of the Platte must be discounted s folly 100 per cent, for all signs indie cate that he feels the fates once moVe e and is about to begin prophesying again. A male rassandra, Mr. Bryan 4 might by this time hare learned that e the forecast of evil will never be believed by those who have found that a In tbe past bis vaticinations have been i- but empty air. "Driving Country to Ruin." For instance, when Mr. Bryan was a member of the house of representatives In 1892 he was absolutely certain ' that protection was driving the country headlong to rack and ruin, and in his speech delivered March 16 of that year he drew the following agonizing pictures: "Protection lias been our cannibal tree, and as one after another of our ' farmers has been driven by the force | of circumstances upon that tree and j has been crushed within its folds his companions have stood around aud sbomed,'Grent is protection:' • • • Thus ; in every' state, so far as these statis- | [ tics have been collected, the proportion j j of home owulng farmers is decreasing I 1 and that of tenant farmers Increasing. I - This means but one thing. It means a j J land of landlords and tenants, and. backed by the history of every nation I J that has gone down. I say to you that I , no people can continue a free people | r under a free government when the j f great majoritv of Its citizens are ten- , ante of a small minority. Your sys- j 1 tem (protective tariffi has driven the * farm owner from his land and sul>- j 9 stituted the farm tenant." How far this pierjre portrays the I America of today or the America of j any year since he made that speech any American can answer. Even in - Mr. Bryan's own state be can find an - answer right at his doors, for the farm ' - lands of Nebraska have doubled In • value, , "Murderous Gold 8tandard." r But during the four years succeeding - that speech Mr. Bryan's agitation grew 7 no less nor did tbe demon which he f had raised iu his own imagination hide with diminished head, for In 1896 he [ again saw destitution threatening the _ country. He had a remedy for It a I panacea, a fetish which he held up for worship— free silver. Here are some of the things Mr. Bryan said woul 1 happen If the gold standard were conL tinued: r "i reply that if protection has slain 1 its thousands the gold standard has slain Its tens of thousands." — From Speech at Democratic National Con- | vention July. 1896. "Do not let tho Republicans beguile you about the future. The future Is I written in blood crushed out of you by gold."— From Speech at Erie, Pa., Aur gust 1890. "Ah, my friends, there If another rea- j son why people have gone into the ' cities and ieft the farms. It Is because your legislation has been causing the foreclosure of mortgages upon the * farms. • • • Mark ray words: If the gold standard goes on and [wople continue to complain the gold standard advo- j i cntes Instead of trying 10 Improve the : condition of the people will be recoup mending that you close your schools so ■ that the people will not realize how | ■ much they are suffering." — I'roui. I ; SpeeA at Monmouth, 111., October. 1890. I But whom has the gold standard f rfWn? 'What future did it write iu | i blood? What district schools did It - close? Again &<• condition of the 1 I country makes a calui reply confuting ' the Impassioned orator.' " j Campaigning again in 1900 Mr. Brian decided that imperialism was an ! Other danger io the country. If it wen- ) continued the Fourth of July would be I r forgotten by all Americans and the i 1 "spirit of "76" would become a thing 1 of the past. Speaking at Lincoln Mr. Bryan said: Sees Death of Patriotism. "The fight this year will be to carry out the sentiment of that song we have

so often repeated. 'My Country. Tls of '1 Thpe.' If we lose, our children and our 1 children's children will not soccead to the spirit of that song, and celeuratloaa . ^ of the Fourth of July will pass away, f for the spirit of the empire will 1* upon Is there any spot In these United States where the spirit of 1776 la dead and forgotten and the Fourth of July ' a ■ meaningless date on the calendar? One of the most ridicnlooa of these prophecies was contained in a speech Str. Bryan made In support of Judge Parker during the campaign of 1904. when he attacked President Roosevelt bitterly. - This prophecy had It tig* military despotism wis sure to foOwr - the decrease In tbe size of the standtog army. In this speech Mr. Bryan also. - emphasized the fact that be was than, and always would be a firm believer In 1 the principle of free silver. He summed up his position on this question In the following sentence: T believe today In the principles set ^ forth at Chicago and Kansas City (18 to I) and ahail continue to fight for ■ those principles." 1 — LABpR WORLD FOR TAFT. I Charactarlxas Him aa Trua Friend of the Workingman. [From the Concord (N. H.) Monitor.] The Labor World comes out strongly ' In Its advocacy of Mr. Taft. It characterizes him a true friend- of labor and ; declares that tbe unfair attacks of Mr. Gompers wlti hav^Uttle or no effect In alienating from him the labor world. 1 It says: "That Secretary Taft Is a true friend of labor is certain, and all the tratrne, ungenerous, vicious attacks ■ that President Gompers or any onp else may make qn hint cannot prevent him 1 from continuing to be tbe friend of the wage worker. Organized labor cannot 1 afford to have itself split op Into fac> tlous 011 this political issue. That Pres- : Ident (Junipers is wrong in forcing this ! most ominous light is certain, and ln- ! telligeut wage workers will certainly I came to this conclusion." ; j JUDSON OUT FOR TAFT.

President Chicago University. , I Chicago. Aug. 1Z. j Attorney. General Wade H. Ellis of Ohio, wh/ was a member of the com- , mittee ou resolutions of the Republican national convention, makes the following reply to the criticisms of the plat1 form made by W. J. Bryan. The^at- | torney general says In part: "The charge made by Mr. Bryan that j the Republican declaration with respect to the use of the writ of Injunction was designed to 'deceive the laboring man' Is unworthy of a candidate for president, and the further charge that tills plank merely declares the existing law and will give no relief In those cases In which there has been an abuse or discretion or the apprehension of it Is unworthy of any lawyer * who has examined the question. "The anti- Injunction resolution. Is a frank, clear statement of the Reffflml cyan party's position on a question ou which others have been attempting to deceive labor. The solo basis of any rational complaint as to the Issuance . of Injunctions In labor cases has been | the use of the writ without notice and | the long delays in some instances which qave Intervened before a hearing of the case. "The present statute does not require any notice at all before the granting of a temporary order, and lt Is entirely | within the discretion of the court to postpone to any time the judge may see fit the hearing upon the question of an injunction. The Republican plank simply declares that notice shall always be given unless an Irreparable Injury will result from delay, und In ' that case there shall be a speedy hearing provided. It will meet the approval of every right thinking man, whether an employer or an employee." | Keeping In the Spotlight.
