THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JANUARY n , 1907
WILLIAM J. BRYAN
I . And The Democratic Party ,
li In Wmhlnjrlnn Po-t.i
Suint and sinner , sage and
willing , patriot and Irailor ,
statesman and deinaf.rof.ruc the
Democratic parly is of all of
these. That is why it is immor
tal. Hcanlhinlc and express
more palnotism in a moment
than the Republican party can
entertain in a year ; it can gen-
crate and harbor more honesty
in a second than the Republican
parly could practice in a cen
tury. It is human , mixed vir
tues and trunsgres-ions , and
that is what makes so many of
us love it. It can be Sir Roger
tie Coverly and it can be Daniel
Quilp. It can be Col. Ncwcome
and can be 'Squire Western , it
can be Philip Sidney and it can
be Oapt. Kidd. It can be , and
is , everything but a Pharisee
and a parvenu. It it could be
either of these it would be the
only political organization in
this country.
Well , 111 is Democratic party
is tixing to do its grand ( | uad-
renniel stunt oi hara-kari in
I'.IOH. ' [ t is an experl at the
business. I make no doubt that
it could swallow a sword , or eat
a snake , if it should go in for
that sort ot thing , When a
committee of dissenting preach
ers waited on Lord Chancellor
Tlmrlow and reguested of him
cerlain privileges llial were
allowed the established church ,
tlte rurtian old jurist roared out
to them : "Get your dd re
ligion established and L will be
forit too. " The Democratic
parly has the knack of getting
anything and everything in the
world "established , "and is' * for
it too1' for thecampaign. When
it is Democratic it is invincible.
That , however , is only occasion
ally.
, Ioe Ijlackburn is a Democrat ;
what he thinks the average
Democratic thinks. Joe is no
Solomon ; neither is Joe a fool
far from it. He is nearly as
human as Ihe Democratic parly.
Joe has come oul for Bryan.
Thai is natural , for I have per-
lercd my poor brains without
result lo tint ! somebody else lo
come out for. And so we will
have to take Bryan , and we will
go to more disastrous defeat
with him in 1008 than we did in
1890 or 1900 ; he will be worse
beaten than Parker. But Joe
voices Ihe Democracy. If the
convention were assembled to.
morrow , Bryan's would be Ihe
only one presented. If the elec
tion were to follow next montl
he would nol get 100 votes in the
college.
And why ? Because , if you
eat the devil you must drink his
broth. If Mr. Bryan is a candi
date , his preachment is the
platform. Ever since man has
been in the world , his aim has
been to feast on roast devil ami
his practice has been lo gag ai
devil soup. We all do it. Thai
is what man was born to , es
pccially political man. Mr
Bryan pretends to be a discipli
of Thomas Jefferson. He is no
half as much like Jefferson as
John Knox was like Pope Leo X
Mr. Bryan got his politics fron
Ly man Trumbull. LymanTrum
bul'l w.as the author of the legis
lation know as southern recon
structipn. Jefferson hated gov
eminent ; Bryan loves it. Jeffer
son believed that the govern
meat should keep its dirty paw
off the citizen ; Bryan believe
that whenever the lark carol
to the dawn , the government
should knock at every man1
door and say , "Awake , arise ,
am here to take care of you tc
day.1 That is not Democracy.
Could Slephun A Douglas
have accepled a nomination o
a platform that denounced "noi
intervention ? " Could Abrahai
Lincoln have been nominate
by a convention that approve
the fugitive slave law ? Thei
can Bryan be nominated by
convention thai reject.s govern
ment ownership ? That is quite
likely , for il is given In the
Democratic party to do the im
possible.
I knew in my youth a fine old
fellow in Kentucky who betler
illustrates the Democratic parly
than any tigure I can conjure ,
lie was a soulhern as a peanut
impulsive , brave , impractical ,
tiery--a regular Peveril of the
Peak ; He would have been in
the Southern army had not his
lighting days been over when
the war came. Onedayhecame
into town from his tine bluegrass -
grass farm in a towering rage
because of the way the overseer
was doing things , and in his pas
sion he swapped the land for
J.OOO barrels of whisky. Whis
ky was then worth about twenty
cents a gallon. The United
Stales authorities , knowing the
man's politicssei/.ed the liquor ,
and there was litigation over it.
Before the case was decided ,
Congress put an internal revenue -
enue tax of $2 a gallon on whis
ky. My old friend gained the
case. lie got his "licker" and
sold it at the advance , but the
last I saw him lie was yet curs
ing the United States that hail
made him enormously wealthy
as the worst despotism on earth.
Grover Cleveland sustains the
same relation to the Democratic
party.
The same old Baron Brad-
wardine went into Edmonson
county and leased the Mam-
mouth Cave for a term of years
-ten , I believe. About the
third year he fell out with the
proprietor of the only stage line
thai brought passengers to his
hotel , had a shooting scrape
with him , and put a bullet in
his carcass. Then he made a
fence around the premises so
that the stage line had to land
their passengers a quarter of a
mile from the tavern , though
every passenger was destined
lo be his guest. Thai is Ihe
Democratic party , as is illus-
Iraled in ils Irealmenl ol CJro-
ver Cleveland.
In 1900 Mr. Bryan , over the
protest of wiser men , who actul-
ly believed in 10 to 1 , forced 1C
to 1 into the platform. He did
it in the name and by the
authority of what he called
"sincerely. " Very well. If lit
was the child of sincerity it
1900. whose son will he be it
1908 ? If he could not take tlu
nomination then without his
preachment of 10 to 1 , how cat
he lake Ihe nomination in 190J
without his preachment of gov
eminent ownership ? Is th <
Bryan of 190S lo be a different
Bryan from Ihe Bryan of 1900 !
This is something that we
Democrats have a right to in
vestigale. Of course , if Mr
Bryan is bigger than his party
as he was in 1900. he can d <
what he pleases with the con
vention.
I do not believe Mr. Bryat
has more wisdom than the lav
allows. I have heard him speak
and he is much more of a talke
than he is an orator. I havi
read his boolcwords , words
words. I frequently see hi
paper one page of the Tribun
of Greely , or one editorial of th
Courier-Journal of Waterson i
worth ten times a year's recep
tion of it. There is nothin ]
striking in a thing he says , an <
for the simple reason that elc
quence without wisdom is nc
worth a damn by forty cents.
But he will probably get ther
again , for there is no limit t
the fatuous folly of the Demo
cratic party , though it is poss
ble that Bryan's vanity exceed
Democratic imprudence. Bt
what is the Democratic part
going to do about it ? Will
emancipate itself from tli
thralldom of a man who wa
born a sophomore , has lived
sophomore , and will die a s <
phomore ? Take his letter froi
around the world and there :
not a line ot them that could n <
have been betler written in any
great daily paper of the United
Stales by Ihe local reporial
force. There is not a sugges
tion anywhere , and everywhere
is the waste , desert , arid , com- '
monplace. What is the idea ?
Why. thai Bryan could spend a1
day and night in Japan and !
come hack here ami tell us all
about it. Caesar could not have
done that , and a hundred regi
ments of Bryan would not make
a Caesar.
But the Democratic party is
going to lake Bryan will ) all
his fooleries. Il is going to
straddle gnvernmenl ownership ;
Ihe Republican parly will sad
dle us with government owner
ship and we will have to take
it. From that there is no escape.
If you eat the devil you must
drink his broth.
If Bryan is the candidate
government ownership inevitab
ly will be the issue. Well , the
Democratic parly has not yel
sounded Ihe full gamut of folly.
It may come to that.

ICutiHiiH City Stouk Yards , Jan. ,
7 , 1907. Last weeekVIIB a good

er , fed steers elositig the wool ;
strong. Today the run ie 21,000
head , with a heavy supply else
where. and the nuitket 5 to 15
cents lower. It was expected that
the tirst heavy run would cause a
decline , and the mild soft weather
we are having is another adverse
feature today. A larger share of
the run today is stockers and
feeders than any day for three
weeks , which is a good thing , as
this branch of the trade has been
extra stronu and can stand a heavy
run. There are no choice cattle
here today , lop $5.95 , medium
class fed steers So. 00 to § 5.50.
Best cattle here last week sold at
$5.90 to 0.25 , but the market has
not been full } ' tested for some
time. Cows and heifers are re
garded as too high , compared with
steers and lower prices are predicted -
ed on them. Cows are selling at
$2.00 to S-1.50 , heifers $3.00 to
$5.20 , bulls $2.50 to $4.25 , veal
calves $0.00 to $7.50 , heavy calves
lower today , but 15 to 35 cents
hiuher than two weeks ago. at
$3.2 ; " ) to $1.50. Demand for stock
ers and feeders has kept the yards
closely cleaned of these kinds of
cattle lately , stockers at $3.00 to
$ 1.40 , feeders $3.50 to $4.70. Al
though they may be some further
losses in fat cattle prices , the
trade is healthy and if we get
colder weather the situation will
be further improved.
Hog prices are gradually tending
upwards , reaching $0.52 Friday
and Saturday , highest point in
several mouths. Receipts are 10- ,
000 today , and the market is 5 to
10 lower at all points , top hero
$0,42A , bulk $0.32A to $0.40. Local
demand keeps up , bulk of sales
here aboul the same as at Chicago
for the last week. Volume of re
ceipts is not likely to become
very great , and dealers generally
stick to their predictions of high
prices this month.
Sheep and lambs have had a
weaker feeling for several days ,
run today 5,000 , market 10 lower.
Nothing choice is here today ,
Kansas fed western lambs at $0.85
to $7.10. wethers $5.60 , and ewe ?
at $500. Yearlings are worth
$5.75 to $0.40 , light weight Mexi.
cans selling highest. Wethers ant
yearlings have been scarce , ant
and ahow the most strength , whilt
the run has been mostly lambt
and ewes , where the greatest weak
nees naturally follows.

Nothing in a , Name.
The home of the Indians after
which this town was named is
now called Preserve. Then why
is the town still called Reserve ?
However , better wait , for some
"smarty" may make it Pickle yet ,
and another change would have
to be made , and that would not
be such a bad name either , for
Pickle is a Historical name. It
dates back to the early geniuses
of the country , when Mr. Pickle
invented the art of pickeling1 herring -
ring : and received his patent
therefore , the combination of salt
and water having been envolved
in the great mind of Mr. Pickle.
