The Chicago Tribune, in a copy-, righted article, endeavors to ridicule Mr. Bryan because the guarantee bank deposit idea has been borrowed from China, having been in use there for a hundred years, and. why does Mr. Bryan want to exclude the Chinese and yet want to adopt their ways? Nd doubt the Chinese chew with their teeth and

did so centuriees before the United States of America had been dicovered or even thought of, but is that any reason for calling republicans fools because they do the same thing? Confucius, a Chinaman, thought of and promulgated the Golden Rule 500 years before Christ lived on earth, but is that a valid reason for discarding this wisest rule of human action, the basis of all morals? And what would our republican friends do without gunpowder, a substance with which they have won all their prowess and glory, such as it is? This also was invented by, and borrowed from the hated Chinese. But then our republican friends are in desperate straits, and straw is eagerly grabbed at.
