Yes, times have changed,
so much that democratic pa

irigt the above article from
the Post without comment.
In '93 such an article would
have jstood no more chance
of getting into the democrat
ic papers than a clawless cat
yould in getting out of the
kingdom, of ; Hades., When
a democrat begins to publish
editorials that prove t)iat

Those Bryanites who have
been disposed to look upon

no doubt, had reasons to feel

while I realize that he ha
the support of the people to
a remarkable degree, I be
lieve his nomination could be
prevented if those who be
lieve it unwise would get to
gether and unite their efforts .
Every now and then I hear
an influential man in the
democratic party say that he
does not think we ought to
nominate Mr. Bryan but that
he does not see how it can be

The Prohibitionist party,
when it first started out in
politics; used frequently to
urge, "Vote as you pray."
Well, that is a pretty good
mbtto and the voters of the
country would undoubtedly
do well o follow it. And if
. thev do. there- will be- no
need. to worn lest, bv some
gruesome . chance, by some
triffbtful mistake, such as
was made in 1892, the Free-
I Trade policy may be saddled
upon the country again . Ev-;
ery single individual in the
country prays that the nation
al prosperity may be contin
ued, that the wages of work-
ers may continue highland
go higher, that poverty and
want will vanish. Then
vote asr you pray , - and
.vote, for Porte

4 'Money makes the mare go."
For monev, man will work,
worrv, sweat, bleed and lie.
It is the loadstone of 'activi
ty, the north star of energy,
the acme of man's highest
ambition. More people want
a part of it and a few want
it all . Money getting is a
virtue and a crime. With it
is. blended prayers, prevari
cations and pledges; tears,
tvrannv and tribulation; lies,
lamentations and loathing;
poverty, peevishness and pa
rasitica; misers, misery and
meanness; blood, bliss and
bludgeons; hell, heaven and
happiness; sedition, salva
tion and suicide; brain , bra wti
and boodle, death, debt and
despair Money is some peo-

Yet, when we are called up
on to shuffle off this- mortal

we might have added to the
