BRYAN AS PROPHET FAILS TO QUALIFY Disasters He Foretold Never Come to Pass. OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE. Gold Standard Does Not Slay, Nor Does It Write Future In Biood. As a prophet William Jennings Bry- an 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. But 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 cent, for all signs indi- cate that he feels the fates once more and is about to begin prophesying again. A male Cassandra, Mr. Bryan might by this time have Tearned that the forecast of evil will never be be- lieved 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 1892 he was absolutely certain that protection was driving the coun- try headlong to rack ang ruin, and in his speech delivered March 16 of that vear he drew the following agonizing 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- tics have been collected. the proportion of home owning 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, I 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- tem (protective tariff) has driven the farm owner from his land 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 in Mr. Bryan's own state he can find an answer right at his doors, for the farm lands of Nebraska have doubled in value. “Murderous Gold Standard.” But during the four years succeeding that speech Mr. Bryan's agitation grew no less nor did the demon which he had raised in his own imagination hide with diminished head. for in 1896 he again saw destitution threatening the country. He had a remedy for it. a panacea, a fetish which he held up for worship—free silver. Here are some of the things Mr. Bryan said would happen if the gold standard were con- tinued: “I reply that if protection has slain its thousands the* gold standard has slain its tens of thousands.” — From Speech at Democratic National Con- vention July, 1896. “Do not let the Republicans beguile' you about the future. The future is written in blood crushed out of you by gold.”—From Speech at Erie, Pa, Au gust, 1896. “Ah, my friends, there is another rea- son why people have gone into the cities and left the farms. It is because your legislation has been causing the foreclosure of mortgages upon the farms. * * * Mark my words! If the gold standard goes on and people continue to complain the gold standard advo- cates instead of trying to improve the condition of the people will be recom- mending that you close your schools so that the people will not realize how much they are suffering.” — From Speech at Monmouth, Ill, October, 1896. But whom has the gold standard slain? What future did it write In blood? What district schools did !t close? Again the condition of the country makes a calm reply confuting the impassicned orator. Campaigning again in 1900 Mr. Bry- an decided that imperialism was an- other danger the country. If it were continued the Fourth of July would be forgotten by “all Americans and the “spirit of ’76” would become a thing of the past. Speaking at Lincoln Mr. Bryan said: Sees Death of Patriotism. “The fight this year will be to carry out the sentiment of that song we have so often repeated, ‘My Country, 'Tis of Thee.” If we lose, our children and our children’s children will not succeed to the spirit of that song, and celebrations of the Fourth of July will pass away, for the spirit of the empire will be upon us.” Is there any spot in these United States where the spirit of 1776 is dead and forgotten and 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. | military despotism was sure to follow | the decre=~< in the size of the standing | This prophecy had it that army. In this speech Mr. Bryan also emphasized the fact that he was then and always would be a firm believer in the principle of free silver. He sum- med up his position on this question in the following sentence: “I believe today in the principles set forth at Chicago and Kansas City (16 to 1) and shall continue to fight for those principles.” LABOR WORLD FOR TAFT.. Characterizes iin az as True Friend of the Workingman. [From the Concord (N. H.) Monitor.] The Labor World comes out strongly in its advocacy of Mr. Taft. It charac- terizes him a true friend of labor and declares that the unfair attacks of Mr. Gompers will have little or no effect in alienating from him the labor world. It says: “That Secretary Taft is a true friend of labor is certain, and all the untrue, ungenerous. vicious attacks that President Gompers or any one eise 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- tions on this political issue. That Pres- ident Gompers is wrong in forcing this most omineus fight is certain, and 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 World: I shall vote for the Republican electors because I believe, on the whole, Mr. Taft's equipment for 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 1 believe that Mr. Taft will carry out are more nearly those 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- mittee on resolutions of the Republican national convention, makes the follow- ing reply to the criticisms of the plat: form made by W. J. Bryan. The at- torney general says in 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 further charge that this plank merely declares the existing law and will give no relief in those cases in which there has been an abuse or discretion or the apprehen sion of it Is unworthy of any lawyer who has examined the question. “The anti-injunction resolution is a frank, clear statement of the Republie- an party's position on a question oun 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 long delays in some instances which .have futervened before a hearing of the case. “The present statute does not require any notice at all before the granting of a temporary order, and it is entirely within the discretion of the court to postpone to any time the judge may see fit the hearing upon the question of an injunction. The Republican plank simply declares that notice shall al ways be given unless an irreparable injury will result from delay, and in that case there shall be a speedy hear- ing provided. It will meet the approval of every right thinking man, whether an 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 a benefit to ia bor and to the public. That they have the right to join with other unions, 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 and has been a very prolific writ- er, but In all he has said or in all he has written he has never given organ- ized labor a more unqualified indorse- ment than Judge Taft gave when on the bench. . “An aggregation of experimental malcontents and theorists,” Mr. Sher- man’s description of the Democratic party, is a phrase that hits the target right in the center. Honors are easy again. Every time Mr. Taft buys a new horse Mr. Bryau mounts a new hobby.—Omaha Bee. But He Runs on Forever. [From the New York Sun.] What will Mr. Bryan say After next election day? Mr. Bryan will insist That he is an optimist. Beaten three times! What of that? He's the one great Democrat Willing for his fellow men To be beaten once again. Read the Commoner and learn! Mr. Bryan, Mr. Kern, Sail together on this trip In the old, oft stranded ship. (They have quarters in the stern!) In this antiquated craft, While they gaze at Mr. Taft Miles ahead—the race near done And by Taft and Sherman won— Mr. Bryan, ever wise, © Doubtless will philosophize And to Mr. Kern recite That remark, already trite, All prepared and often sprung: “Beaten? Yes, but I'm still young! I can wait another four Years, then try the race once more. I have got this thing down pat. I'm the one great Democrat!” —Julian Durand. RHEUMATISM RECIPE. Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Remarkable Home Mixture. A well-known authority on Rheuma- tism gives the following valuable, though simple and harmless prescrip- tion, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy at small cost, and be- ing of vegetable extraction, are harm- less to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken reg- ularly for a few days, is said-to over- come almost any ease of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, dimin- ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without in- juring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, ete, some of which do give relief, few really give perma- nent results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many "sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighborhood elicits the information that these drugs are harmless and- can be bought separately, or the druggists here will mix the preseription for our readers if asked to. ermine THE TWO WILLIAMS.

REPUBLICANS ARE AGGRESSIVE With An Old-Fashioned Campaign Now at Its Height, and With Party Fervor and Enthusiasm Aroused On Every Hand, Pennsylvania Is Destined to . Give a Tremendous Majority For Taft and Sherman. : [Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Oct. 20. With election day but two weeks oii there is now a lining up of the Rc publican forces throughout Pennsy! _vania such as has never been seen in the history of the grand old common: wealth. \ Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, the Re- publican field marshal, has his army in splendid condition for the coming battle of the ballots. He reports that every county com: mittee is making an aggressive can vass, and that there never has been evinced such enthusiasm for the cause and fhe candidates as is witnessed cn every hand throughout the state. The party workers have taken up Colonel Andrews’ call for an old-fasa- joned campaign. They are holding rallies with old- time fervor and patriotic enthusiasm. Campaign glees have been formed in every county, and they have been sup- plied by Colonel Andrews with copies of campaign songs specially “written for use in this state. The county chair- men have inaugurated a system o: plan of opening mass meetings wit. the singing of “America” by the en tire audience. Interspersed between the speeches they have the campaig: songs, lauding Taft and Sherman and poking fun at Bryan and the Demo cratic donkey. During the course o. the evening the audiences join in sing: ing the new state anthem, “Penns_1 vania,” and the gatherings are usually brought to a close by the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” As In Days of Old. “It brings me back to the days oi the old ‘Wide Awakes,” said Colonel Andrews today, in commenting upon the enthusiasm that has been exhib- ited throughout Pennsylvania for the Republican nominees. “We want more of this patriotism, this love of country and love of party, and I am proud to see Pennsylvania lead the way jn this revival of old-fashioned methods of campaigning. It is an education to the young men as well as an inspiration to the old.” Great preparations have been made for the closing days of the canvass. Big mass meetings have been a: ranged for in all parts’ of the state and some of the most noted orators o the list of the Republican nati no | committee are to appear at the e meetings.
