as ib sole declaration on the money
question Mr. Bryan would have bolted
the convention. What be meant by this
plank in 1890 nobody knows. There
waa certainly nothing in Mr. Bryan's
attitude on the silver question in 1890 to
induce the silver mine owners to make
him a proposition to enter their employ.
In 1892 the financial plank on which
Mr. Bryan ran for congress, and which
he wrote himself, was as follows:
"We are in favor of the double stand
ard of gold and silver money; that we
are in favor of the reversal of the great
monetary resolution from the double
standard of gold and silier to the single
standard of gold, so clandestinely ac
complished by congress in 1873 that the
that the most astute statesman in the
most knowing of all places for such
knowledge, James G. Blaine, speaker of
the house of representatives, did not
know when it was done. We affirm that
the manner of its doing and the fact
that at that ime silver bullion was at a
premium of 3 per cent above gold bul
lion, justify the prevalent suspicion
among the masses that that clandestine
monetary resolution was the first
move of an organized scheme
to permanently establish in Amer
ica a moneyed aristocracy, and
throw such light on the purpose of
the continued and persistent opposition
to all efforts and movements to re-establish
silver iu it rightful place of free
coinage occupied by' it in the American
monetary system from the beginning of
the government up to 1873; that we are
in favor of only the honest dollar of
equal-value with any other dollar, and
to that end we demand the immediate
restoration of silver to Its right of free
coinage, when it then can be determined
whether the former ratio between gold
and silver k just, and if need be make a
fair readjustment of the ratio
between them, not bv clandestinely
demonetizing and thereby striking down
either one or the other, but in an honest
way, as the same thing was done under
the administration of Andrew Jackson
unaer the congressional leadership of
Thomas H. Benton in 1834."
There was nothing about the ratio of
16 to 1 in this declaration, and nothing
to claim the interest or attention of the
silver mine ovnets.
In 1891 Mr. Bryan reached the point
where he declared in the platform for
the "immediate restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage of stiver at the
present ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other
nation on earth.' Then it was that the
stiver mine owners turned to Mr. Bryan.
Then it was that a series of significant
circumstances gave rise to the suspicion
that he bad entered tha employ of the
silver kings. The Editob.
Mrs. Bryan's Canto.
At the last annual reunion of Sorosis
Mrs. Bryan read a poem addieased to
the husbands of the members. It is
the custom of the club once a year to
invite their husbande, to toast them and
be toasted, to roast them and be
roasted. Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Sawyer
organized the clubLand Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Sawyer organized the Roand Table,
both modelled on the clubs in Jackson
ville. Ths following is Mrs. Bryan's
poem:
Ladies and Gentlemen: For some
deeply mysterious reason, the ladies of
Porosis decree that we shall invade the
hitherto iwexplored "realm of poetry.'

region of hidden pitfalls I studl go as
pioaeer. No one truly belonging to us
has ever faltered bpfore any ordeal, and
so with -an eye in fine frenzy rolling, I
catch the only available thing my
breath and burst forth, not in an Ave
Maria, but canto de hominibus:
Yes, canto, de hominibus
And here our Latin ends
For we're not so very classical
When speaking to oui friend.
For, you know, you muet progressive be,
And up to all that's new,
Or the hdies of Sorosis
Will get ahead of you.
And should my rythm faulty b
My measure incomplete,
Remember I'm afflicted
With lameness in my feet
Right glad are we to welcome you,
Ob, husbands twenty-four,
Aud to Miss Richardson we look
To make the number more.
The truth will out, just see her hlu3h,
Assure as I'm alive;
She knows that ere another year
She'll make it twenty-five.
But I digress, as PJutarch says,
For I am here to tell
A truth or two, which T am sure
Will suit you all quite well.
You men are sometimes prone to think
Our aim is tather high.
We read, discuss and settle
All questions far and nigh.
And so, you smile upon our case,
As you make your diagnosis.
But let me show some benefits
You're getting from Sorosis.
Just look upon the year that's past,
And if I'm not mistaken,
You've all been served for many meals
To Shakespeare with your Bacon.
No caudle lectures do you hoar,
For the leisure hours spent
In reviewing our impressions
Of th religious parliament.
And do you not remember how.
When your wife for money lacks,
She speak b in such a charming way
Upon the income tax.
But before proceeding further,
A story I will tell,
Which illustrates the thought I have
Both forcibly and well.
An invitation once we had
To grace (?) the festal board,
And scrutinize the author of
"Is thi . your sou, my Lord?"'
'Twas dainty Helen Gardineer,
So winsome, gay and bright;
The people thronged about her
With accents of delight.
Upon the outskirts of the crowd
I saw a silent guest.
With gentle mien and flowing beard,
Jn latest fashion dressed.
But why does he so silent be?
Why "does he seem to grieve?
Just then I saw a friend pass by
And plucked her by the sleeve.
"Who can this handsome creature be
Tbat stalks bo lonely here?"
"Oh. 'tis no one but the husband
Of Helen Gardineer."
I trow that in each manly heart
There lurks a bidden fear
Thet he may, one day, be the mate
Of another Gardineer.
Then rise, oh mea, with one accord,
And work with might and main.
If you suspect tbat we have plans
Your lofty place to gain.
'Go polish up your speeches, then,
Solve problems, delve in hist'ry.
Compound elixirs, catch the germs.
And unravel every myst'ry.
But let's cease this silly jesting,
And to soothe you let mi state
That to play the second fiddle
Will never be your fate.
We'd rather be your help-meets,
Companions, comrades true;
For we may aa welL confess it
We are very fond of you.
