When has more real heros been displayed than has been displayed there this year? If anyone thinks that the figint for bimetallism is over, let him ask himself when a single defeat ever disheartened such men as those who have this year advocated free, walimited and independent coinage? When men’s convictions are so strong that they will face political defeat with. oul fliwching, defy financial despotism and risk social ostracism in behalf of a cause, they do not surrender because they lose one battle, Speaking of the opposition arrayed against the free silver cause, Mr. Bryan recites familiar facts when he says : Throughout the entire Union the trusts, corporations and banking interests were for the most part organized against silver, and these interests could actin concert on a moment's notice, while prompt co- operation was difficult, it not impossible, among the masses, The campaign did not afford sufficient time to bring clearly before the people an important truth which investigation must reveal, namely, that on the money question the interests ol the money “Owing cla SSCS are not iden- tical with the interests of the wealth-pro ducing classes. A dollar which increases in purchasing power is an advantage to those who trade and to those who hold fixed but it is an injury to those who owe money and must purchase it with the proceeds of toil. It must be evident, therefore, that the peo- ple familiarly kuown as financiers can. not be trusted to frame a financial policy for the whole people unless they are en tirely free from the selfisness which is im money mvestments, versal trait of mankind, | power of a given quantity generally supposed to be a well-nigh uni. Money loaners have never been known to advocate laws reducing the legal rate of interest; why should they be expected to advocate a financial system which will stop the ap | preciation of money / The advocates of free coinage have as- serted that the gold standard is a con- spiracy organized by the great financiers of the world to lessen the volume of the world’s standard money for the purpose, first, of raising the purchasit of money, ; second, of making it easier to corner the ly of standard money.

The next four years will determine whether the republican promises can be fulfilled, conditions Quoting Major McKinley six years | ago about the widespread depression in | agriculture, and that ‘no prosperity is possible to other industries if agriculture languish,” Mr. Bryan says: He (Mr. McKinley) was correct in asserting that prosperity must begin with | the farm.
