BRYAN US PROPHET
FAILS TO QUALIFY
Disasters He Foretold Never
Come to Pass.
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 j
Speech at T'eaioerauc National Con

1890.

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.
