What Do You Think of This?
We wish to call the attention ol
our readers to the following state
ment made by Mr. Bryan III 1890:
"If there is one w ho I relieves
the " told Standard" is a good
thing, r that it miisi be iu:iin
talned, I warn him not to east
Ins vote for me, l ause I prom
ise him it w ili not lie maintain
ed in this count i v any longer
than I Billable toget ii'1 of it."
This language was used !y Hon.
Win. Jeunings Bryan, in a speech at
Knox vi lie, Tennessee,, on September
16, 1 890.
You will notice that Mr. Bryan
does not want the vote of "any one
w ho believes the Gold Standard is a
good t ning.
Can any believe otherwise alter
witnessing our sound business pros
perity since the Gold Standard law-
has been enacted.
Mr. Bryan made a promise fo the
American voters that the Cold Stan
dard law "will not be maintained In
this country longer than he is able
to get riil of it." The eleetion of
Mr. Bryan to the Presidency would,
therefore, be Immediately followed
by attacks upon the financial integ
rity oi the united States and of eve
ry individual citieii. The result
would be a repetition of the business
panic and disaster that We experi
enced during tlie last Democratic
administration.
