Show reo SILVER TRUST The Kansas City Journal has seen I the North American Review and Mr Bryans charge that the Republicans carried the late election by the use of money and It calls Mr Bryans attention atten-tion to the fact that In the two States of Nebraska and Kansas alone Mr Bryan ran 68000 behind his vote in 1S03 as indicated In the majorities And It asks this question Docs Mr Bryan ilare to add that bribes changed his own State from a Dcmoemllc majority of 13000 10 a Republican majority of 7000 01 OUt railroad passes did H or that colonlatlon did It Can he explain that his loss of 100OCo votcn In Colorado was duo to tho moneyspending trusts when tho groat silver trust of that Stale was lighting fur him tooth and nail In the above the Kansas City Journal states some facts and at the same time shows that the charges against trusts arc often very vague and uncertain because we of the West know there never was any sliver trust that the silver men in the last election did not spend money for Mr Bryan Some men who own in silver mines who are Democrats subscribed to campaign cx JenFCS but thc silver trust for five years has been a bugaboo without the l slightest foundation in fact There was as much money given by the silver sil-ver miners in Utah 16 the McTCInley campaign as there was to the Democratic Demo-cratic campaign by Democrats and tho thought of Oliver was not mixed with either gift Every sensible man in both Slates knew for the present at least the silver cause was lead They realized that there was money enough that prices wore high enough and that I the ground on which they urged the I election of Mr BrSan fouV years ago had moved from under their feel They I then urged the restoration of silver to Increase the volume of standard money They nor any one else at that time could see where that increase was to come from except through the remone tizalon of ilver But it came and oume In such volume that prices advanced ad-vanced as rapidly and as high as they ought to be and a greatly Increased volume of money now would simply incite in-cite all kinds of wild speculation Really the silver issue was not in evidence evi-dence In the last campaign except on the lips of Democrats and in Democratic Demo-cratic Journals in four or live of the Intermountain States And hence the talk of the Kansas City paper about the silver trust is but a campaign I bugaboo which ought to have died with the campaign |
