OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE. Gold Standard Does Not Slay, Nor Dsas It Write Future In Blocd. As a prophet William Jennings Bry nii has never been a success. The ca lamities which he has foretold would have brought unlimited disaster to the country if they had ever been realized. Put they never came to pass. The har rowing pictures which he painted were merely figments of his imagination, based on absolutely no foundation 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 ceut, for all signs indi cate that he feels the fates once more and is about to begin prophesying uguln. A male Cassandra, Mr. Bryan might by this time have learned that the forecast of evil will never be be li. ved 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 in 1.502 he was absolutely certain liiat protection was driving tho coun try headlong to rack and ruin, and in Ills speech delivered March 10 of that year he drew the following agouizing pictures: "Protection has been our cannibal tree, and as one after another of our 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 statis tic? have been collected, the proportion of home ownlug farmers is decreasing and that of tenant farmers increasing. This means but one thing. It means a land of landlords and tenants, and, backed 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 of its citizens are ten ants of a small minority. Your sys t n (protective tariff! has driven the la Fin owner from his laud and sub stituted the farm tenant." How far this picture portrays the America of today or the America of any year since he made that speech any American can answer. Even iu Mr. Bryan's own state lie can find an answer right at his doors, for the farm lands of Nebraska have doubled iu i value. "'Murderous Gold Standard." But during the four years succeeding that speech Mr. Bryan's agitatlou gre*v lio k.;s nor did the demon which lu had raised in his own imagination hide v.ith diminished head, for lu 1806 he again saw destitution threatening the country. Ho had a remedy for it. a panacea, a fetish which he held up for worship—free silver. Here are some of tliis things Mr. Bryan said woull happen if the gold standard were con tinued: "1 reply that if protection has slaiu its thousands the gold standard has) slain Its tens „r thousands."

From I Speech at Monmouth, 111., October,! 1890. Hut whom has the gold standard ! slain? What future did it write iu ! blood? What district schools did !t close? Again the condition of the country mak.es a calm reply confuting [the. lwimjwipjied orator. | i ampaigning again" in liKiu Mr. Hr.v --' au decided tliut imperialism was an other danger to the country. If tt were continued the Fourth of July would bo forgotten by all Americans and the "spirit of f 7G" would become u thing of the past. Speaking at I.lncolu Mr. Bryan said: Sea* Death of Patriotism. "The light this year will be to carry out the sentiment of that song we have so often repented, 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee.' If we lose, our children and out children's children will not succeed to the spirit of that song, and celebrations of the Fourth of July will puss away, for the spirit of the empire will be upon us." Is there any spot in these United States where the spirit of .1770 is dead and forgotten aud the Fourth of July a meaningless date on the calendar? One of the most ridiculous of these prophecies was contained in a speech Mr. Bryan made in support of Judge Parker during the campaign of 1904. when he attacked President Roosevelt bitterly. This prophecy had It that military despotism was sure to follow the decrease in the size of the standing army. In this speech Mr. Bryan also emphasised the fact that he was then and always would be a firm believer lu the principle of free silver. He sum med up his position on this ijuestiou in the following sentence: "I believe today In the principles set forth at Chicago and Kansas City <lO to 1) and shall continue to light for those principles." LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT. Characterizes Him as True Friend of the Workingman. [From tl»« Concord (N. If.) Monitor.] The Ijubor World comes out strongly lu its advocacy of Mr. Taft. It charac terizes him a true friend of labor and declares that the unfair attacks of Mr. Oompers will have little or no effect in alienating from him the labor world. It soy.s: "That Secretary Taft 1s a true friend "of labor is certain, and all the untrue, ungenerous, vicious attacks that President Gompers or any one else may make on him cannot prevent him from continuing to be the friend of the wage worker. Organized labor cannot afford to have itself split up into fac tious on this political Issue. That Pres ident Gompers is wrong in forcing this most ominous tight is certain, aud In telligent wage workers will certainly came to this conclusion." JUDSON OUT FOR TAFT. Chicago University's Head So Notifies - Chief Bryan Organ. To the Editor of the New York WorUl: j i shall vote for the Republican elector.-- because 1 believe, on the whole, Mr. Taft's equipment fur the administration of the federal government, based on his ripe and successful experience, makes it desirable that he should be the successor of Mr. Roosevelt. Further, on the whole, the policies which I believe that Mr Taft will carry out are more nearly those 1 which I approve. HARRY PRATT JUDSON, President Chicago University. Chicago, Aug. 12. Anti-injunctions. Attorney General Wade H. Ellis of Ohio, who was a member of the com inittee on resolutions of the Republican national convention, makes the follow ing reply to the criticisms of the plat form made by \V. J. Bryan. The at torney general says lu part: "The charge made by Mr. Bryan that the Republican declaration with re spect to the 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 furthe" charge that this plank merely declares the existing law and will give no relief in those cases In which there has been au abuse or discretion or the uppreheu sion of it is uuworthy of any lawyer who has 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 has been the use of the writ without notice and the loug delays in some instances which have intervened before a hearing of the case. "The present statute does not require i any notice at all before the granting of j a temporary order, and it is entirely ; within the discretion of the court to I postpone to any time the judge may i «ee lit the hearing upon the question of j an injunction. The Republican plank ! simply declares that notice shall ul- j ways be given unless an irreparable Injury will result from delay, and In j that case there shall be a speedy hear j ing provided. It will meet the approval i of every right thinking man, whether I au employer or an employee." Taft and Labor. When on the bench Judge Taft said: That employees have a right to form ! labor unions. That such unions are u benefit to la bor and to the public. That they have the right to join with other uulons. 1 That the accumulation of a fund to aid in a strike is right. That employees have a right to strike • ( whenever any of the terms of their !. employment are unsatisfactory. Mr. Gompers says Judge Taft is op posed to organized labor. Mr. Gom- ] pers has done a lot of talking in his ! | time aud has been a very prolific writ-j er, but in all he has said or in all he j has written he has never given organ- \ ized labor a more unqualified indorse- j . inent than Judge Taft gave when on I j the bench.
