Carl Schurz In 1896.

In Chicago four years ago Mr. Carl Schurz thus depicted the terrible possibilities of the adoption of Bryan’s political heresies: “Ihe father who teaches such moral principles to his children educates them for fraud, dishonor and the penitentiary. The public men who teach ! such moral principles to the people educate the people for tlie contempt and abhorrence of mankind. The naI tlon that accepts such moral principles cannot live. It will rot to death in the loathsome stew of its own corruption. If the nation accepting such moral principles be this republic it will deal a blow to the credit of Democratic institutions from which the cause est free government will not recover for centuries.”
