Patriotism of the People.

Unless I mistake the character of the people among whom we live ypu will Dever be able to get them to support a candidate for the presidency who wilt Continue the policy of mortgaging the American people to foreign syndicates when 70,000,00 people stand ready to protect the treasury of the United States. Aye, more than that, upon the decision of the United States may turn the financial policy of the world. Not only in America, but all over the world, the toiling masses are looking for relief to that nation which ought to stand foremost in every great reform. If the gold standard is a good thing, I ask you, why did not the Republican party at St. Louis declare that the gold standard should be maintained perma-' nently, and if the gold standard is a bad thing why was it so cowardly as to say to the American people, “Von should submit to a bad thing until foreign potentates and powers come to the relief of a suffering people?”—Bryan at Crestline.
