PRIOR TO 1896
Chas. B. Clarke, of New York, has
written to the World of that city an in
teresting letter. In spite of the fact
that Mr. Clarke's letter makes personal
reference to Mr. Bryan, The Com
moner reproduces It because it seeks
to correct the misapprehension exist
ing in some sections of the east con
cerning the "overwhelming defeat" of
1896. Mr. Clarke's letter follows:
"Bryan's disastrous leadership,' 'The
overwhelming defeat of 1896' rid such
expressions have been frequently used
by you and a few other journals which
opposed Mr. Bryan, and in your editor
ial this morning you lead one not fa
miliar with politics "of that period to
suppose that the sentiment of the
country at that time was toward the
democratic party and that because of
Bryan's nomination on what some
classed as a radical platform the re
publicans were victorious. Surely this
is a gross misrepresentation.
"As well as I remember, early in
1896 it was a foregone conclusion that
the republicans would sweep the coun
try, and it was a standing joke fre
quently aired in the newspapers, vaud
eville houses, etc., as to whom the
democrats would nominate. The grand
victory of 1892 -was turned to ignomin
ious defeat in 1893, 1894 and 1895 par
ticularly so in the congressional elec
tion of 1894, where a safe democratic
house was turned into a one-sided re
publican body. This was eighteen
months before Bryan was thought of
as a candidate for the presidency.
When the Chicago convention was
called to order in July, 1896, a man
who predicted anything but a walk
over for McKinley would have been
classed as a lunatic.
"Yet with such great odds against
him, the shouldering of the mistakes
and misfortunes of the Cleveland ad
ministration, the desertion of many of
the party leaders, the difficulty of ex
plaining the money question to the av
erage voter, the lack of funds, the gen
eral browbeating, bribing and other
criminal tactics of organized capital
and the general sentiment of the coun
try hostile to the democratic party
in spite of it all Bryan was nearly
elected. Eighteen thousand votes
properly distributed would have done
it. He lost Kentucky, California and a
few other states by very slight mar
gins, and it was only in the east that
the defeat might have been considered
a bad one. As for the 1900 defeat, no
candidate or platform could have pre
vented McKinley's re-election., The
industrial condition had improved, a
successful war had been waged on
Spain, and there were many other
causes. No fair-minded man can deny
that Bryan brought enthusiasm, hope
and courage to a disheartened and a
discouraged party. The World opposed
Bryan and the Chicago platform with
honest motives; no one familiar with
the policy of this independent organ
can deny it; therefore I am surprised
at its stooping to hit foul to lead its
readers to the belief that Bryan was a
detriment to the party, that he was
the cause of keeping the democratic
party out of power for the past ten
years.
"The gallant fight he made In 1896
and the wretched showing made by
Judge Parker in 1904 ought to be
proof as to Bryan's influence with the
voters of the country. "Facts and opin
ions should not be confuted. The
fact that Bryan is so popular need not
be taken to show that he is right on
every public question. The World can
consistently oppose Mr. Bryan and yet
keep strictly to the facts. Won't you
then publish, for the benefit of those
readers whom I claim you have misled,
the vote for president in 1892, for con
gress in 1894 and for president In
1896, and explain the cause of demo
cratic defeat while Cleveland led the
party and the improvement shown in
the returns of the election In 1896,
when Bryan led?"
CREAM SEPARATOR
HONESTY
Each and every manufacturer of a cream separator claims
his machine to bo "tho best" This is good business, but It is
hardly giving tho buyor a oquaro deal. Thoro can bo only one
best machine, which really means that the other are trying
,VS nUy,orB,,u?d?,r fal8 Pretenses. Fancy catalogue, big
claims," flashy "challenges" and liberal "free trial" offers are
good advertising, but may all go hand-ln-hand with tho pooroat
and trashiest machine on tho market You may have thought
of this without knowing just what to do about it. But if you
are about to buy a machine.why not look up the real facts
the provon facts about separators? Consult tho experienced
creamery and dairy operators, tho agricultural experiment
station records, tho government records, tho results of all
important butter scoring contests, and tho records of tests
and awards made at all important expositions and agricultural
shows. You will then know tho truth about cream separators
and can tell tho manufacturer who has misrepresented mat
ters to you to seek business elsewhere. If you havo investi
gated well and carefully you will And that thero is but one
separator which will do all that is claimed for it and can
honestly bo called "tho best." That machine Is tho DE
LAVAL. Wherever tests havo been made of different separa
tors tho DE LAVAL has always averaged best Wherever
records havo been kept of tho work of different separators
the DE LAVAL has always been first. Once again wo say,
look up the proven facts concerning separators and learn tho
truth for yourself. Will tho other manufacturers give you the
same advlco? Wo think not. Thero is a very good reason
why they will not' do so. It would mean business suicide for
them. A DE LAVAL catalogue may bo had for the asking.
