The ca­ lamities. vriilfli Iu> has foretold would w: have'braugtit; mduuited dlcaster to the country it' they hail ever Twqu'radllscflr Bat they hover came to pass* The har­ rowing pictures which he painted were, merely figments of hfs imagination, hawed on absolutely ■no foundation 1 whatever. - * it is well to have Americans remem­ ber that prophecies uttered by the ora­ tor- of the Platte must be discounted fully 100 per cent, for aU sigus Indi­ rato that ho feels the fates once more and is about to begin prophesying again. A male Cassandra, Mr, Bryan might by this time have learned that the forecast of ovU will never ho be­ lieved by those who have found that in the past his vaticinations have been but empty air. “Driving Country to Ruin." For Instance, when Mr. Bryan was a member of, the house of representa­ tives Ip 1SQ2 he was absolutely certain that protection was’ driving the coun­ try headlong to rack and rain, and in - his speech delivered March 1C of that •yepr,he drew the following agonizing •pictures: - “Protection has been our cannibal tree, and as one after another pf our farmers has been driven by the force o f circumstances upon that tree and Jins been crushed within its folds hip companions have stood around and shouted,‘Great is protection!' * * * Thus in every state, so far as these statis­ tics have been coilectod. the proportion Of hpuie owning farmers is decreasing •_«nd that of 'tenant farmers Increasing* “ This moans but one thing.* It means a land of landlords and tenants, and, latched by the history of every nation that has gone down. 1 say to you that no people can continue a free people under a free government when the - great majority o f its citizens are ten­ ants, of a small minority. Your ays-, "tern {protective tariff) has driven the farm owner from' bis •bind and sub- 'st!tuted the farm tenant." ' . Ilow far this picture portrays, the America of today or' the America of* nhy year,, since he made that speech any American can' answer, Even in , Mr, Bryap's own state he can find an answer right at his doors, for the farm lands of. Nebraska have -doubled in value, ' “Murderous Gold Standard.1* - But during the fear years succeeding that speech .Sir, Bryan's agitation .grew mo less nor did the demon which he bad raised in his own imagtaution hid* Aggbf saw destituttoa threatening the country. He bad n remedy for it, a panacea, a fetish whiten he held up for worship—free sliver. Here' aro some of the things Mr, Bryan said would happen if the gold standard were con-' tinned: “I reply that if protection has slain its thousands the '.gold standard has plain its tens of thousands:” — From Speech at Democratic Katlonnl Con* vontlon July, 1890. . . ' „ “Do ndt-det the Republicans beguile yon about the future. The future Is written In blood crushed out of you by gold.’*—From Speech at Erie,. J?n.r Au i gust, 1800, “ Ah, my pleads, there is another rCa • son Why people have gone injto the cities and left the farms. It Is because your legislation has been causing the foreclosure of mortgages upon, the f artps.'* » * Mark mywords! If the gold standard goe3 on and people continue to complain tho gold standard advo­ cates Instead of trying to Improve the condition *of the people will be recom* mending that you close your schools so that the- people will not realize how touch they ' are suffering.” — From Speech at Monmouth, 111., October, 1898. But whom has the gold standard slain? What future did it Write In blood? What district Fchoola did It close? Again the condition of the country makes a calm reply confiding the impassioned orator. Campaigning again in 1900 Mr. Bry­ an decided that imperialism was an­ other danger to the country. If ft were continued the Fourth of July would be forgotten by all Americano and the "spirit of ’70” would become a thing of the past. Speaking at Lincoln Mr, Bryan said: Sees Death of Patriotism. “ The fight this year wilr be to oarrj out the sentiment of that song we have so often repeated, ‘My Country, ’Tis'of Thee.’ If wo lose, our children and out childfea’Dchildren will not succeed to the spirit of that bong, and celebrations) of tim Fourth of July will pass away, for the spirit of the empire Will he upon wf,” ' • .-■*'■ Is there.any spot in these tinted j States Where the spirit of 17 ?9 la, dead]' nnd forgotten and the Fourth of July a meaningless dote on the calendar? One of the meat ridiculous) of these prophecies was contained in a speei-h Mr., Bryan uiado in support of Judge Darker during the campaign of 1901, when lu> attacked President Roosevelt bitterly. Thin p«»pJj>jpy bad it that military despotism war- -ure to follow the decrease in tho a‘m »? the standing army.

J. Bryan!' The at­ torney general says in'part: ‘ “The charge made by Mr. Bryan that the Republican declaration with re­ spect to tho use of the writ of injunc­ tion was designed to ‘deceive the la­ boring man’ is unworthy, Of a candi­ date for president, and the further charge that this plank merely declares the existing Jaw and will give no.relief in-those cases In which there has been an abuse or discretion or the apprjjben Sion of it is unworthy of any lawyer who hhs examined the question. “The anti-injunction resolution is a frank, clear statement of the Republic­ an party’s position on a question on -which others have "been attempting to deceive labor. The sole basis of any rational complaint as to the Issuance of injunctions-in labor cases Jinn been the use of the writ Without notice and the long delays in some instances which have Intervened before a hearing of the case. , ,“Tfie present statute does not require any notiesrat all before the granting of a temporary order, and It Is entirely within the dfeoratinp of tije eanri; to .pcwi$atee iga#.

It is time tliu this statement was met and smashed. Mr. Bryan if elected coujd and would do a great deal of harm in so many \viiys,.that it in almost impossible to enumerate them. In tho first plage, be would have an opportunity during his term to pack the supreme court, nud no one doubt-* that lie would so pack It that tile confidence of the American people In J<« greatest hu‘button would; he lost or severely shattered. Mr. Bryan would appoint a cabinet -fr«ni his friswty ;:sd not fl'mn'his eue-' mtes, and it nuist ho admitted that the best Wen la the Democratic party are not close friends of Mr., Bryan. He would appoint judges and district at­ torneys throughout the country who .would carry out his designs ns far as possible, but thp greatest harm of ail that could comp upon the people through the election of Mr, Bryan would be the loss pf confidence in busi­ ness circles, and the probable stagna­ tion that would come over the country and remain for four years ut least. . There to no -measuring this blight that would come to onr nation through the eiecthSii of William J. Bryan. We eudured it from JS93 to 1890 uuder n Democratic president of far sounder’ views and much mofe-stable charac­ ter than the present Democratic candi­ date for president Mr. Bryan as a weather Vane would be a great suc­ cess but as a president he would,not only be a failure, but failures would come tp every American Institution and every American Industrial center.

When on the bench Judge.Taft said: That employees have a right to form labor unions, That such unions aro a benefit to la­ bor and to the public. That they have the right to Join with other unions. That the accumulation of a fund to aid in a strike is right. That employees have a right to strike whenever any of tho terms of their employment are unsatisfactory. Mr, Gompera says Judge Taft is op­ posed to organized lubor. Mr. Gom- pqrs has done a lot of talking in Ills time and has been a very projliic writ­ er, but in ail ho bus said or in all lie has written he baa never given organ­ ized labor a more unqualified indorse, meat than Judge Taft gave when on the boneh. * “Ail aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists,” Mr. Sher­ man’s description of the Democratic party, is a phrase that lilts the target right in the center: Honors are easy again.

The tax rate In Ottawa, 0., Is $4.10 per $100; banks pay <1 per cent, How can a taxpayer live iu either city if liis ipcney 13 on deposit there," and be honest? He miiat do one of three things; move out c£ the district, change Ills investment, .or commit perjury. Experience proves that he does all three, - ’Tis true that It is too bad that such conditions ex­ ist, but *tls too had it is true that they do exist, and that public opinion condom s the perjury, for public oj in­ ion will never countenance an injus­ tice. That same public opinion would instantly rebuke a taxpayer who re­ fused to contribute, n reasonable part of his income to tho support of gov­ ernment, The question of taxation is net only a social and economic ques­ tion, but it is a moral question as well, and all lawn bearing upon the subject should recognize the moral aspect of tho case.—F. A. Dcrthiek. -Liberty NocdCcf In Taxation, To give the largest measure of home rule, the constitution should not eontaih any declaration tending to ex­ empt certain classes of property, It should not contain any declaration limiting the tax rate,, and it should not declare that all classes of prop­ erty shall hq taxed equally.
