Show us the man wbo is eondemníngthe Chicago platform on the ground that it threatens law and order, and you will show us a man who is profitÍDg by a violation of the law or is thfe paid emissary of such a man. m Wm. Jennings Bryan only spoke to 70,000 people in Detroit. Surely the "silver craze" is dying out. and if it continúes to die next week as it has in the two weeks that have just elapsed, Bryan's election will be unanimous. O, yes! the silver sentiment is dying. It is dyeing the country a silvery hue and on the 3d of November will dye the crape with which the political ambitiensof Mark Hanna's candidate will be laid away in their last resting place.

Thia government is not in danger from small law breakers. They are always punished. It is the big law breakers, the raen who think they are greater tháii the government, and even dispute authority with the Almighty, that are a menace to our iustitutions. My friends, it is the coal trust that is afraid I won't enforce the law, and the sugar trust and the Standard Oil trust, and all this horde of trusts that have violated the law and trampled upon the rights of tlie public with impunity, that know that the success of the Chicago platform means that their plying upon the public shall f ore ver cease-
