Show , v TL1 Special asiington correspondent of the New 1 or Evening Post tells low the revival of Mr. Bryan 'V-r aV?e,t3 ongres3,-ihaf the Democrats are bo- ila C ' the ?PMfc'ans are considering that rac? Sld?t Sefretary Taft are out of the race, and Secretary Root has all his -life been' an attorney at-torney for corporatjons, with the result. that there is a.n exuberant filing on the part of the Democrats .and a 'panicky, feeling on the part ,of Republicans; that the .Democrats believe his boom will nold but for two years,' ; .and as when- a pebble is dropped' jn mid-ocean the waters wa-ters do not cease to 'vibrate until they break' on all the .ocean shores so his boom droppedrin public consideration considera-tion now will go on vibrating to the next Presidential election. . :' ' j ., r- . . - ' Editoriajy the Poet says these are unhappy-days lor Unoriginal Bryan men of New York, those patriots k that stayed by Bryan, in the year when he was first a' -, candidate. It is; not: a matterrworth. extended.discus-Con extended.discus-Con now, but it would be something- like' retribution to ave Air. . Bryan the only .Democrat tKatr the New-York . !l)emocrats could vote for-two years hence, because when .hewas first nominated aU the great financiers of New . x ork, all the press of New York that echoes the words joflhe great financiers,.jill that class that would insult .a Western man if he mentioned a belief that silver was aa honest money as gpld, will be'in a fix if Mr. Bryan ,is nominated again, for be it understood that Mr. Bryan 'is just as good, a silver mail now as he-was in-'1896,and the last reports .on silverware that1 it has advanced in vilue so that the Government has had to recoin and debase de-base its Philippinemoney to keep the shrewd natives of ;the Orient iron melting it up and selling it for bullion.-'And bullion.-'And we can understand how Mr. Bryan will be a-very . . dangerous candidate in 1908, very hard to throw down,. i and yet how easy if would be to' beat him.' If the Republicans Re-publicans have the wisdom to continue their prosecution of what is unlawful, in the trusts; if they will take hold an good earnest, and so revise the tariff as to take all the pith out of John Sharp Williams' arraignment of it last winter, and' then instead of puttering with silver and changing the mintage every time it' rises or falls a few , points, which can be done easily enough hy'simply passing pass-ing a statute of four lines, that from and after this date ithe silver of silver-usinr countries will be received by the United .States at a certain sum per ounee, say 90 cents, that law. will equalize the value of silver all this, world around, and .by that legislation neither Mr. Bryan nor any other Democrat will have any plank to stand on: If the Republicans are reasonably bright, they will cure what is faulty in their present bill of rights and -will elect another President in 1908. If they go on butting their heads against two or three stope walls, refusing to ' shear the voice of the people that is thundering to them they will be snowed. under and probably kept out of power for eight years. That is as long a lease as we give the Democratic party, and it is a very generous estimate es-timate for them, because the last time .the country put the President and both houses of Congress in their -hands thfy did the hara kari act in the first eighteen months." , - ' ' -. - |
