Show BRYANAS A REFORMER. M Mr. nryan as a "reform'- candidate H i may look good to Democracy, but tho H thinking people of this country want H i to know Just what his "certain re-m re-m i forms" aro to be. Tho people of this M J country turned Bryan down twice on M his "currency reform," but ho still M says ho Is a radical in fact ho Is so m radical that even Tom Watson says M thai lie will rei urn to tho Democratic M fold. Uryan is going somo when he M comes up to Tom Watson's standard of M radicalism. Ilryan undoubtedly wants H "tariff rcform"also, a reform that will m sweep away every vestlgo of protects protec-ts tlon. lie has always opposed the pro-M pro-M tcctlvc principle in any tarllT schedule H for any purposo whatever. Ills most M noted speech In Congress was against H protection, and he was idcntillcd with 3 the Democratic control of Congress H that led up to tho passage or the Wll-H Wll-H son-Gorman tarllT law. That tarllT Is H a part of the liisti ry of the four Demo-m Demo-m cratlc years when there was a Trcas- sury di'llclt of $i:,000,000. Tho He-H He-H publicans took hold, carried through a H war costing hundreds of millions of H dollars, made a general start w Ith tho M Panama Canal, and jet can show a H treasury surplus for tho Dlngley law H I period of $117,000,000 Tho ligures H ' carry conviction. Bryan's "reforms" Hj may look good to those who have for-M for-M J gotten tho Cleveland administration M and to those restless souls who are M never satisfied, but to others ho Is fl neither safe nor sane. |
