REPUBLICANS PLEASE EXPLAIN!'
l Bryaa ’ Commoner
The Democrats may ba pardoned If
they relieve tbe eomberoess of tbe
present financial aituatlon by a few
Jokes at tbe ezpeoae of the Republl-
can leadera They have been told ao
often by tbe curbetone Republican
politicians that panlca only come
when the Democrata ere In power—
that Republican admlolatratlona hi
way Insure good times— that they
must be allowed to smile a little at
tbe very clear and unanswerable proof
of tbe Inability of tbe Republican
leaders to loaure against a panic
Here we are in tbe full enjoyment of
a high tariff which tazea tbe wbole
country for tbe benefit of a few man
ufacturere and yet we are not happy
We have tbe gold etandard which we
were told was a panacea and ayre pre-
ventive for all kinds of financial
disturbances sod yet we are dis-
turbed We have the Republicans lo
power la tbe nation and In a majority
of the states and yet business Is tied
up We were told that confidence
was all that was necessary and that
Republican victories always gave con-
fidence aodtere e are with our
confidence disturbed Wbat dees It
mean? Can tbe Republican party be
fallible after all? Is it possible that
Republican leaders may make mis-
take? Can it be that Republican
times are notalwaya good times? Tbe
Republicans have claimed credit for
suosbloeand for shower for favorable
seasons and for bouutiful crops Upon
whom will they throw tbe respond-
blllty now if farmers have to bauli1000 DJ?al) ‘nt
1 Tbe Sheriff s bond
tbelr wheat (cotton) back home
because no one was willing to take It
Io on- town tbe Democrats recalled
tbe cartwheel dollars that some of the
local financiers used for an argument
against iiver in 1SDG and begged the
privilege of borrowing those dollars
iu tbe abseoco of ordinary currency
Democrats caa do tbeir duty as
citizens by counseling courage and
patience and by suggesting remedies
that will furnish protection for tbe
future aod jet they can enjoy tbe
fact Iba tbe present panic bas
exploded one of tbe most potent argu-
ments tbat tbe Republicans bare
eferemployednamelj— that a Repub-
lican administration Insures good
time and that a Democratic admin-
istration Is nccesstrily a breeder n!
