gather too confidently presumed , how
well would Bryan enforce the currency
law he could not get repealed ? Who
from among his populistio advisers , like
Tillmau and Towne , would he make
secretary of the treasury ? Whoever it
would be for an almost certainty he
would fulfill the delicate financial func
tions of his office like a bull in a china
shop.
David B. Hill , the leader of the demo
cratic conservatives , said in his speech
seconding Bryan's nomination that "an
old-fashioned rousing democratic vic
tory throughout the land will mean a
restoration of the currency of our
fathers. " To the delegates to whom he
spoke the "currency of our fathers"
meant silver , which has fallen in value
over one-half since those ancestral days.
Mr. Hill was too shrewd not to fully
understand the truthful import of what
he said. The meaning thereof , is that
general democratic victories this fall
would not only elect Bryan , but carry
both branches of congress also for his
ideas , and therefore accomplish the
financial dishonor of the nation , panic
and general industrial calamity. HEN

ANTI-IMPEBIAMSTS . . . . . . .
OPPOSE BRYAN ; penalists will not
be misled by
Bryan's recent interview , quoted else
where in this paper , in which he bids
for anti-imperialists votes. The "peer
less leader" will derive small comfort
from the perusal of the following reso
lution adopted by the meeting of anti-
/ imperialists at New York city :
"On the other side is Bryan , the man
who , at the critical moment , used his
influence to confirm the Paris treaty ,
and thus furthered the imperialism
which he now denounces. Mr. Bryan
is a man of hallucinations or a demag
ogue ; in either event a dangerous man ,
lacking the qualities of statesmanship
necessary to cope successfully with the
difficulties he would inherit. To vote
for the democratic ticket means a vote
for free silver ; it means still further de
bauching of the civil service , a packing
of the supreme court by men to be gov
erned by the will of the executive. "

A RUMOR.
News repeats a
rumor to the effect that Egomaniac
Smyth , attorney-general of Nebraska ,
is about to shut down the Argo Starch
works at Nebraska Oity by charging
that they are a "trust. "
The egomania of Mr. Smyth is be-
comiug more and more malignant. It
now prompts him to create calamity by
legal proceedings. He would , like a
true fusionist , deprive between two hun
dred and three hundred good men and
women of steady work and good pay.
All factory hands in Nebraska will note
Smyth's politics and vote against the
party that would try to beggar them.
"Another disgraceful -

A bumper crop for 1900 is insured and
every politician of the populist persua
sion feels sick. Populists cannot get fat
on corn but they do relish calamity and

rains which have visited all Eastern Ne
braska during the last ten days have
confirmed a corn crop for this section of
the Great American Desert that will
reach more than a hundred and fifty
million bushels.
Every rain drop was worth a cent ,
every shower a fortune and the entire
precipitation of four inches of water can
be estimated in tens of thousands of del
lars.

in his campaign for the presidency , said
at Washington , D. O. :
"According to the doctrine laid down
in Mr. Carlisle's letter , you cannot stop
the drain of gold from the treasury un
til you retire all the silver dollars and
silver certificates , and leave nothing but
gold as the money of the country. "
The above from a speech of Bryan at
Washington , D. O. , Sept. 19 , 1896.

that potential prophet :
