MR. ROOSEVELT
ANSWERS
ORATOR BRYAN
(Concluded from Pace 1.1
section ol the country he comes to stand with
tn in this struggle for iiitlonal integrity.
We hac. right to insist upon both wisdom
and sincerity In the leaders of any party who
appeal lor popular confidence. Now, let us soo
It wo can trust the wisdom ol our present op
pontntt, by comparing their prophecies in UW
with the actual events since.
False Prophesy of 1800.
In ISM Mr. Bryan Insisted that "Plutocracy
was on one side and Democracy on the other"
(speech of Oct. 17), and that II he was lieatcn
"the wage-worker could not pro'per.'' Well, as
a matter of fact, the wage-worker during the
past four jears has prospered us never before;
and the same Is true of all our citizens. On
Sept. 19 of that year Mr. Ilryan said: "If we
are defeated In this campaign there Is nothing
lieforc the people but four jear more of hard
times and greater agitation." That statement
carries with it its own reply. Hate the last
four Jtears been easier or harder than the three
years preceding r You know well enough that
they hac been infinitely better; and it is the
Republican party which has restored prosperity,
for it has secured the conditions which glte free
play to enterprise and thrift. Mr. Ilrjan con
tinued In the tame speech; "Do jou think we
have drained the cup of sorrows to Its dregst
No, my friends, jou cannot set a limit to the
present haul times: Hut, as a matter of fact,
they did set a limit, for the limit was set as
loon as Mr. Ilrjan's defeat was secured; and the
limit would be Instantly removed If he were
now elected. We would all return at once Into
the very condition from which the election of
President McKinlcy rescued us four jears ago.
In the same speech Mr. Bryan said: "Business
men complain that business conditions are bad
I warn them that these conditions cannot he im
proved by following up the policies of the Re'
publican party." Well, let business man answer ,
whether that warning has or has not been Justt-
fled. What do you think ol bulne londltlom
now as compared with (our jears ago?
AjmIii on S-pt. 22, Mr. llr.vaii Mid: "The He
pulillcan rartj- produces a policy that makes
hard times. All thov- ulio loe hard timvr ought
to ote lor the Itepulillcan ticket, and nil thoo
who arc tired of hard times haic got to ote the
Democratic ticket It they would expect any re
lief." Now, as t hate said before, what Mr.
Ilryan promivs should he Judged by the way the
pat ccnt base "quired with his prophoy. Th
ecnt showed that, votinit for the UepubMcan I
ticket put an end to hard times, lou need not
take my word for this. You need only consider
the condition of jourself -.and jour neighbors
now as compared with the time when we were
all paral.ircd by the threat of Mr. Drjan's reme
dies. Two daji afterwirda Mr. Ilryan said: "Itemem
ber, if you continue the present conditions you
will have nobody to bl.ime except yourselies for
four jears more of hs.nl times," and "If jou
want this sort of tiling then prepare j-oureltes
to grin and bear it without complilnlnj for
four jears moie." On Oct. 13 he said: "Theie
are bard times, but thpv will be harder vet if
the pold st.mdiid continues." and on Oct. 2d he
prophesied: "fntil you bace bimetallism mill
hinds will stand on the corner and wonder
when the gold standard will bring them good
tini"s." Again, I bacc only pot to ask you to
compare our actual condition now with what
Mr, Ilrjan then said our condition would surely
be.
The "Bobber" Dollar.
We have been hearing a good deal recently of
Mr. Hrjan's statement that lie wanted "to put
the man before the dollar, and not the dollar
before the man." There arc certain conditions
to which such a statement might apply; but it
cannot possibly apply to the present conditions
As things are now, it can best be compared with
Mr. Ilrjan's other statement of Sept. 19, 1S1X1,
In which lie denounced the gold standard as a
"robber" dollar. One statement means just ns
much as the other and no more. Instead, of
bothering about whether the 111.111 is ahead of
the dollor or the dollar is ahead of the man,
or whether the gold dollar is a "robber" w hat
ecr that might mean or an thing else pre
posterous, let us fix our attention on the fact
that the policy followed for the last three years
has resulted in bringing the man and the dol
lar together. That Is what a man really wants
with i dollar. He is not Inteiestcd in any flight
of fancj ns to whether he is behind or In front
of the dollar. He wants to get bold of it; and
when he has got hold of It. he wants to find it
worth one hundred cents, and not forty-eight
cents. When a man can get hold of a dollar, be
is its master; and when he cannot get hold of it,
then be cannot master it. At present we give
the wage-worker work and we provide that he
is paid full value for his work. That is the
only practical way to bring the man and the
dollar together on terms which will give the
man the adiantage; and the fact of haUiig ac
tually carried out the policy which secured this,
of haling done the deeds which pioduced thee
conditions, is worth to the laboring man ten
thousand times more, than all the line phrases
that can cicr be uttered as to some wholly
imaginary precedence of position between the
man and the dollar he earns.
In his speeches Mr, llijun kept insisting upon
the alleged fact that money was growing dearer;
that umkr the gold standard It was bound to
continue to grow scarcer. Well, as a matter of
fact, and thanks to our prosperity, there is
more money in circulation per capita in the
United States today than ever lieforc in the
history of the country. On July 1 last the cir
culation per capita was $20.50, an Increase in
circulation of $3 10 for every mm, woman and
child In the country, as compared with what It
was on July 1, 1S96. o Mr. Ilryan s prophesy
has been as wide of the mark in this instance
as in ciery other Ihe present jear is the first
in which the two billion dollar mark in circula
tion has eer been passed. In other words, the
Increase of money In circulation has kept pace
with the expanding industries and commerce ot
the countrj-, and this Increase has been pre
dominately due to the condition of prosperity
pioduced by the gold standard; yet, Mr. Ilrjan
in his Minneapolis speech of four j-ears ago pre
dicted that commerce would be at a standstill
because gold would go out of the countrj', and
that the Issuing of bonds would be necessary
to bring it back.
r.vrry single prediction he has made has been
falsified by the event. On Oct. 13 lie said:
"Ihese are hard times. They will be harder
times if the gold standard continues." On Sept.
Vt he said: "It jou ask" how the gold standard
atfects the farmer, we tell you that the gold
standard lowers the price of products of him
who sells without lowering Ids taxes or debts.
If jou ask us how the gold standard affects the
laboring man, we reply that It destrojs the op
portunity for labor, multiplies the number of
bile men and fills our streets with those anxious
for work who cannot find the opportunity. The
gold standard, by Increasing idleness, brings
poverty to tho'e who ought to have enough and
to spaie." On Oct. 3 he said: "The gold stand
ard means a clearer dollar and falling; prices, and
falling prices means hard times." On Oct. 0 ho
said: "If we have a gold st-lndard, priced arc as
certain to fall as a stone which is thrown In the
air." I do not haie to comment 011 these pro
phesies. Their ludicrous falsity is patent to every
farmer, eury business man, ciery wage-worker.
That Savings Bank Prediction.
Sometimes Mr. Hijan would go into more tpe
clfic prophecy. In his M&dison Square Garden
speech ho Insisted that savings bank depositors
under tho gold standard would be liable to lose
their deposits and if the gold standard con
tinued indefinitely, would liaie to withdraw their
deposits in ordei to pay llilng expenses. Well,
last jear ilSiO) there were In the Ui.lted Malea
S.fc'.OUOfailngs bank depositois at against 5.0.-5, -000
In tho j'e,r when Mr. Ilrjan spnke, and Hie
amount of their deposits bad Increased by $32J,
00vl,000. IMdcntly Mr. Ilrjan did not make a
happy shot when he prophecied that If the gold
standard continued tho depositors would lose
their deposits, or would have to wlthdiaw tin 111.
Again, in Ids speech at New- Haven lie dwelt
upon the fact that If the gold standard con
tinued the number of faliuu-s among business
men would Increase. Well, in 1890, as compared
to 1800, the number of failures had shrunk from
over 15,000 to 'less thsn 10,000, and the liabili
ties from over ff2M,0O0,O0O to less than JM.WO,.
000. Again Mr. Ilryan' prophecy did not piove
happy.
In Ids Chicago speech he dwelt upon the fact
that if the gold standard continued it meant
lull time In the factories and double time on
tho farms, You lime only to look at any fac
tory you know to appreciate the uneoiuclouily
humorous tide of that statement,
It was on September 2), among; other occasions,
that he dwelt upon his doctrine that wheat and
silver went up or down together and prophecied
a follows 1 "An American dollar will buy two
Mexican dollars and also about two bushels of
wheat at Ihe aine time. There was time when
an American dollar would buy only one bushel
of wheat. If tho time erer comes when an
American dollar will buy three Mexican dollars,
then It will buy three bushels of wheat." But,
unfortunately, since then we have e scleral
occasions had dollar wheat, and, on the whole,
wheat has risen, while silver has continued t.
fall. At present one of our dollars will pur
chase more than two Mexican dollars; but it
will only purchase a bushel and a quarter of
wheat. Of course, as any child who had studied
the subject would know, the price of wheat and
tho price of sitter do not bear the slightest
relation to one another.
In his speech at Tammany hall he Midi "You
know that with the slightest prospect of a fur
elgn war we would suspend gold payments nd
go either to a silver or to a paper basil at
once." Well, since then we liae had the Spanish
war. We fought It to a successful conclusion
and no human being ever thought of the gold
stnadard being suspended,
Now, when utterances such as I have quoted
represent the fine flower of a statesman's thought
as to what li best for the country from an eco
nomical and flnanclsl standpoint, the country Is
Itielt to blame if it Invites disaster by giving
him a chance to put his theories Into effect.
Remember that all these statements I have
quoted were made absolutely without qualifica
tion. Our opponent are as cock-sure ilwnt the
gold dollar being a "robber" dollar four yeara
ago as they are about what they are pleased to
term "militarism and Imperialism" at the prcs.
ent day; and their utterances mean no more now
than they meant then.
Mr. Br an seems at the moment uneasily con.
scloui that there is something cry wrong with
his proposed financial policy, and talks scry little
about it; hut he has definitely committed himself
to It, and the various conventions that nomi
nated him have reiterated their belief in all the
absurd and exploded theories which he chain,
ploncd four jears ago, Unless our opponents
are guilty of the grossest hjpocrisy, a hjpoc
rly so yrc.it as to dpmo them of the right to
sppeal to any straightforward and sincere man,
they must if they carry the election Immediately
start in to revolutionize our whole financial sjs-
tern, and begin a series of experiments with our
Industrial well-being, which could only result
in the most widespread disaster. No body of
men who hate made such prophecies as our op
ponrnts made in 1SH and who havo keen them
I falsified so slenallv by the result, have a right
to appeal to the public to be put in any portion
I of respoii'lblllty, Kven If they recant their fool

and, until they do recant outright, and not

I they make, no tlntfe plan thy propose for the
solution of any problem which confronts us. is
entllleil to the consideration of patriotic and far-
sighted men.
Excursions Into Patriotism.
Mr. Bryan did not alwajs confine his prophe
cies to economical and financial matters. Once
or twice he took exclusions Into pa.rioti'm. He
said on one occasion: "Show me th'se peop'e who
now call as anarchies, anil 1 will show you a
rlr.B4.of people who if we bad a war would tieer
gn to th front"; and at Indlainpolis: "The
men who Imii1 upon ilo'nz our lexMatton In

of war. Trey arc the people Who can you an-
archists when Jou insist on bavin? a band in

i Hshf " Well, a (rood nuny l
oai.not anoid
men In this
audience mut haie had Iriend', or neighbors, or
perhaps kinsfolk who were only too anxious to
go to the front in the Spanish war. and I will
leave it to those men to say whether all good
Americans, rich or poor, whatever their means
or their social standing, did net eagerly leap for
waul when the call to the flag was made, anxious
to stand shoulder to shoulder with one another,
forgetting all trivial dlili rentes In their love
for their splendid common countrj-. Such utter,
ances as thoe I hive quoted cannot possibly re.
Beet credit on both head and heart. One or the
other 'nust be gravclj- at fault. The untruth of
such utterances was shown within twenty-four
hours after the declaration of war with Spain.
I doubt if any man, In view of whit has been
done during tho last few- jears, would now ven.
ture to repeat such J Jeer as to the men who
volunteer In our armies. Now our oponents as
sume a different tone. It Is a terrible and most
lamentable truth that our soldiers who are now
facing death in the Philippines arc forced to
recognize in the Ilrj-anistlc Democracy their
mot dangerous foe. I need not repeat the oft
quoted words of Oeneral Law ton. The bullets
that slay our men In I.ujon arc Inspired by the
denouncers of America here. No Tagal general,
not Agulnaldo himself, eon do so much to pro.
long the flimtlng, can do as much to increase
the bloodshed of American and Filipino alike ns
has been done by the Kansas rity convention
I have chouwn vou how little Mr. nryan'o
utterances in the 'past have squared with the
facts, whether he waa dealing with nnance, or
whether he was dealing with patriotism, nnd it
Is exactlj' as true today when he and the makers
of the Kansas City platform talk of Imperialism
or militarism. One reason that makes it difficult
to seriously argue either question is that so far
as I know there is no man in the United States
who believes in either Imperialism or militarism.
They are pure phantoms of an eien more shadowy
and Intangible quality than tho Iniquitous "rob-
ber gold dollar" which disturbed Mr. Dryan bo
much four jears ago. The legular armv is not
nearly as numerous, rclatlicly to the whole pop
illation, as is the New York polic rorce rela-
the v to the population of New YorK; and It
Is literally as absurd to predicate militarism or
imperialism on the sire of the army, as It would
be to see In the number of policemen a menace
to personal llherty. There Is no more chance
of a draft to fill one hotly than to fill the othei,
nnd there Is even les chance In the ease of the
army, that It will be med against our freedom.
Increase of the Army.
just at present we naic in uc regular nr my
as compared with our population mne-tenths
of a soldier to eery one thousand of population.
This is the proposition for the jear UXJ. Wei .
. . ....... .. -
in the j car 1500 we had eight-tenths of a tol
dier to ciery one thouaiid inhabitants. The in
creac ot militarism since the palmy dsjs of
Jefferson, a centurj- back, Is represented by ex
actly one-tenth of a soldier to every thousand
inhabitants, and the Increase to the clanger n
our institutions is measured, therefoie, by the
amount of tjranny which is capable of U-lng
exercised by one American in a uniform over
ten thousand of his fellow-citircns without unl-
forms. There was an antl-lmpenaiistic meetins
at Indianapolis recently which endorsed Mr.
Ilrjan, and the delegates expressed frantic alarm
at the incieasa in our military forie. The figures
I have given show that mathematically these
three hundred eo-cnlled "anti-Imperialist" v-cte
only entitled collectiwly to so much terror
among' them all as would be tepresented by a
Utile less than one-thlrtletli of a regular soldier;
I fieely admit their capacity for bciiu fright
ened, but tliis amount of menace scarcely seems
to entitle eien the most sen.ltlve soul to any
o.er-vrought sympathy.
bincc 1NM the proportion of tho regular army
has varied somewhat even in tlm.-s of peace. It
has sometimes been lowei than it is at present,
and again it haa been higher, as In 1S10 when
wc had one and four-tentlu. soldiers for ccry
thousand people, nd In 11)70 when we had one for
every thousand people. During the Indian wars
on the plains we often had a relatively largir
military force than1 has been employed In the
Philippine; and there was Just as inu:h chance
of "militarism" then a there i now, md no
more.
Let any one of jou think of his own cxnerl
ence. Vou know that It in ikes not cne partldo
of difference to jou as regards j-our private life
whether we ha.e ten or twenty regiments of
hcaiy artillery In our coast force; or whether
we have ten or twenly regiments of cavalry and
Infantry engaged In keeping ruler, rlitjher
among the Indians on the plains ol tirong the
Tagals In tho Philippines. Thee ' no more
pcMlbllity of a draft or ot iny .-rious bi e'en
of military service In this couitrv fun them is
a possibility ot decree HI' coming ,a life iiraln;
and the man who proposes to feel iriehtrned
about the one misht as well xpres muur.ers
as to the possibility of the other.
So it is with Imperialism. There Is not the
least little danger of imperialism and there is
not a dividing line of any kind to be drawn be
tween our methods of expansion in 1S9S nd ISTO
and the method ot expansion under which
we acquired Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Louis
iana, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, California,
Hawaii and Alaska. Mr. Ilryan has recently
spoken of us as bavins purchased tho Philip
pine at K2.50 a head, treating it a analogous
to bujinp slave at $1,000 a head. It serin im
possible that such a statement 'could be made
unless as a Jest. Mr. Ilrjan must know that the
Philippine were paid for precisely as Florida,
Louisiana, California and Alaska were paid for.
Tho Filipinos were no more purchased than were
the individual dwellers In New Orleans, St.
ugustlne, Finla Fe and Sitka. If the Filipino
were purchased t to much a head by President
McKinlcy, then the inhabitants of Louisiana
(were so purchised by Jefferson, and the Chris-

The policy of expansion Is America' historic
policy. We have annexed the Philippine exactly
as we have annexed Hawaii, New Mexico nd
Alaska. They are now part of American terri
tory, and we have no more right to glv them up
than wc ha.e ths light to restore Hawaii to tho
Kanaka queen or to abandon Alaska to the Es
quimaux. There is not a particle of difference
between the cases. We cannot go back, Drst
for the sake of the islands themselves, nd next
for the sake cf our own honor. The men who
are making speeches on the uprlghteousneas ot
our expanding in the Philippine might with
much Justification incite the Sioux and tho
Apache tribes to outbreak against us. on lh
pround that we have no right to retain South
Dakota or Arliona. The policy of the Kansas
City platform Is n policy of economic disaster

that there Is In this country no such

array the discontented against the con
