Here are some extracts from Mr. Bryan's peeeh that will be enjoyed by all. ?rw j j . *? eaia.

If you want to find the smile that won't come off you need not go to the advertisements o! breakfast, foods; come to Nebraska. I began to enjoy this some years age when Mr. Roosevelt comxneneed to make Incursions into our jplatferm yard. I was In Washington at a Grldiorn club banquet; he waa ike chief guest and sat on the rigli?f the toastmaster and I sat on the kher side; and the boys of the club were Joking him from the beginning of the banquet to the end aiio.it what he was taking from the Demovrailc platform, and when it came *np time I Joked him too.

One evening be told her that he loved her and asked her to marry him. She wan a frank, outspoken sort of a girl and she said: "Why, Jim, j hare been loving you these many months. I have Just been waiting you to tell mo, so I could ten yon." Jim was overcome with delight. He went out and looked up at the etars and said: "Oh, Lord, i hain't got nothtn' agin' nobody." That was the way I commenced to toel years ago about this matter, i tiara been feeling better and better erer since, and I don't know whU :t am going to do If I got to feeling aiaeh bettor than I do now. little while after the banquet the cartoonists began to take it np, and the Collier's Weekly had a carinon that some of you may have Mien.

And, suro enough, two year* ago they tried to take that feather, but they got to quarreling as to whether the feather ought to turn up or turn down, and It spilt the party.

I recognise that I am only getting now reaction from what they did a few years ago, when theso things were unpopular, and they called them Bryanism in derision.

The only way to capture the offenders, according to the agents of the Department of Justice, is to have the authorities of all the large cities act together.

" The Farmer Hells His Staple* at Prices Fixed by World Wi<le Competitions And Then lluys the Tilings He Needs in a Market froir Which Competition is Haired. One day last week Benjamin F. Shively, Democratic Senator from Indiana, made some telling remarks in a speech on the tariff as it relates to the farmer. lie made it just before the close of the campaign but it reads just as well now, whatever the result of the election. Here 'o his remarks on the tariff, which every farmer should read: Jn these closing days of tue campaign Republican leaders are making frantic appeals to the farmers to come to the assistance of the Republican ticket against the rising tide oi revolt in the cities. Why should the farmer vote to vindicate the PayneAldrich tariff? Or why should ho give countenance to that cunning dliference-i?-coet, plus-a-proflt evangel in which panic-stricken statesmen are seeking shelter? Government has no fund out of which to gua~antee profits, it can legislate pro lie to one man only as it legislates losses to another. American agriculture is a nonprotected and nonprotectable industry. The genius of man can not devise a system of import duties that cou.d protect the farmer. Every year millions of bushels of his wheat and corn and millions of pounds of his hogs, cattle and cotton go out to the great surplus markets of western Europe. Would a single bushel or pound go there hut for the fact that it brings a higher price there than at uome: Duties of 1100 per bushel of $10 l>er pound could not help the farmer to the extent of a single penny. Ho stands between two markets, neither of which he controls. He makes his sales at prices fixed by others. He makes his purchases at prices fixed by others. He ?el)s Ins staples at prices fixed by world-wide competition and theu buys the things he needs for self and family, under what conditions? Under the same conditions on which he solis his products? No. He buys in a market from which foreign competition is barred by prohibitive tariff schedules, and from which domestic competition Is removed by domestic combinations organized under the .. i ( ?iiciiu ui ?ui:ii auuouuioa. A protective tariff protects the woolen niui cotton goods the farmer must buy, but can not protect the . cotton, corn and wheat which he hay to .sell. It protects the fariu inachin . ery, the furniture, the ironware, ( woodenware, glass and glasswure, carpets, painta and dozens of other things which he must buy, but cau , not protect the oats, rye, cattle or t hogs he has to sell. It protects the things he must buy by enabling the trusts controlling them to write up artificial prices on them. Thus the farmer sella at normal, . competing prices and buys at highl ly abnormal and ficticious prices * written tip by greed without refer curt* iu toHi. ao sauawa, lue farmer for 40 years has boon the eperial vlstim of the sfstom.

"The colonel is concerned about my sn'ary as receiver during the short time the court insisted on my serving after I became governor. 1 What does he think I should have done? "At any rate I have not charged personal hills tie state expenses as he repeatedly did, which was one of '.he reasons why he was one of the costliest, as he was the noiseet mao which ever held the ofllce he held.
