From the Oakland Enquirer. Some of the stuff which Candidate Bryan is introducing into his speeches is very strange. As the graphic reporter wouM say, ‘‘It is weird.” An example of it occurs in his Cleveland speech, in which he said: “If they can drive silver out here, what nation can withstand its influences? Wait until these influences, wait until these heartless, merciless influences have driven silver from here and: they will turn to other. nations. India and 250,000,000 of people reach out after their share of the world’s‘supply of gold. © Wait ‘until they have driven silver from. China. and: 850,000,000 of people reach out after their share of the world’s supply. Wait until they have driven Japan to, the gold standard and Mexico and South America, and then you will put. gold on an-auction block, and “every toiler under «the sun will bow to it and work ‘a little harder and “get .@ little less of the yellow metal.” It is difficult to treat with patience such silly nonsénse as this. What does out silver? Who pro to drive silver.out? No one. here does moat of the coined silver: of the world cirewlate? In the gold standard nations. . Here are some of the figures: .

Ses ae cae It seems ‘almost ip all over the world today, that there ever offices, no letter carrier, no mail: facilities at all. Bit, of course, there had to be some means of. communication ‘even in the ‘earliest ages, thongh these were confined for centuries. to emperors and kings and . ‘great rulers. The emperors of feat ‘of Persia, of Assyria and of Rome held many lesser kings and satraps as their vassals. With these it was necessary to communicate with schon. and regularity, and therefore couriers were employed to carry dispatches and . reports to and from bee ‘more distant provinces. aR Of Canine Sin dies simie: or one horee. could traverse the whole route, so. statious were established along the roads always itt ‘readinéss: to relieve -weary brothers, aud carry on the dispatches with uniform These stations were called ‘‘posts,’’ from the Latin. word positum—fixed or placed—whence Sesien the neipe of our modern postal <In the Old Testament are frequent references tothe posts. In II Chronicles you will find, “So the posts went with the letters,’ and ‘Se the posts passed from city to city.’’Ii Esther also and in Job and Jeremiah you will find other allusions to the posts, But they were never. for the use of the common people. The Roman Emperor Augustus was the first to establish @ system of posts suggestive of the present system. You have heard the saying, ‘All roads lead to Rome.”*’ This was the origin of it: rom Rome.as a, center post-roads were built, called ‘‘royal highways, ”’ extending all over Enropé. . After the decline of the Roman empire these post roads were abandoiied by degrees, and during the dark ages thoy almost entirely disappeared. In the thirteenth aud fourteenth centuries, however, their need began to be so strongly felt that posts between different parts of the same country. were established, atid soon ‘these were extended into other countries) These posts were carried first by foot runners and then a little later by mén on horseback. It was not long, though, before the post privilege was extended, and it-was found impossible for horseback riders.to carry the increasing. mail, so: ‘wheeled. conveyances. were provided, and the next step was for these conveyances to carry passen } ag well as the mail. And thas ‘the post was evolved the mail coach. What this meant to our hitherto shut in ancestors it is hard for us of the present day to-realize even faintly. But’ it is safe to say that the evolution of the -public post and the mail. coach did more than any other, one thing to hasten civilization. ' In the reign of the Emperor Frederick TH, Francis von Laxis, whose grandfather is said to have established a post-" al service across the Tyrol and Styria, entered the service of the house of Hapeburg and became the founder of the modern postal. system. Through Von Laxis the emperor established regular ‘pests thronghout his kingdom between the years 1440 and 1493, and at the beginning of the sixteenth century the Austrian post became the international post of the Hapsburg dynasty. In France the University of Paris organized a postal service in the thirteenth hoods and mercantile guilds which established Loornlargy postoffices subject to the government. In England, in 1658, Rowland Hill started a private post, but Cromwell’s heavy hand came down on the enterprise, and the men who carried the letters were trampled down and killed by his soldiers, Later on Mr.Hill came to the front again, instituted many. reforms.in the sérvice, and at last gave to England a real and effective postal service. Louis Xiof France foanded a postal system in 1464, which was greatly improved by Charles [X in 1565. : But it-was-not alone the Christian nations that felt the need of ‘a postal service, When the Spaniards invaded sonth America, they found a regular system of posts in operation, so that the news of their landing was carried to the aca with incredible swiftness, the postinen being runners, who carried around their. waists knotted cords, a code of signals or sign writing: < Coming down to our own country, suppose we take a peep at the mail methods in vogue in #3 earlier days. Let us take as a type the postal service between and New York, where, in.1762, a — was ‘to: } monthly. ’’ starting at the Ser rus tor cond of the route, carried the mails. Leaving on Monday the wonderful emai a routes ‘intere at certain intervals, where conriers were . . I Phe much altered in appearance, although ‘all. kinds of improvements have been carried out. The late Lord Bath built the stables, which are very fine. One prominent feature in the park is a wooded hill which; from the magnificent ; which it commands, is known as Heaven’s gate. The Bath estates in Somersetshire and Wiltshire ‘were in very badtorder when the late owner succeeded “his father in 1837, but they are. now in’ perfeot condition in all respects, ‘and there is not a:eingle vacant farm. — London eee ‘The -shrewdness and loquacity of market -women—a craft numbering more members in the old world than in the new-—are proverbial, and the following anecdote in Mr. Doran’s book on ‘‘Table Traits’” bears witness to the justice of their reputation : A member of the sisterhood in Bristol, England, had a £10 pound Bank ‘of England note and wished to exchange it for gold, which was then at a high premigm. Avdordingly: she entered a bank and made known her ess to. be: met with instant refusal. The quick witted woman, without exhibiting any disappointment, thereupon asked the cashier to let her have ten of the bank’s £1 notes"in exchange for her Bank of Englander.

From the Oakland Enquirer. Some of the stuff which Candidate Bryan is introducing into his speeches is very strange. As the graphic reporter wouM say, ‘‘It is weird.” An example of it occurs in his Cleveland speech, in which he said: “If they can drive silver out here, what nation can withstand its influences? Wait until these influences, wait until these heartless, merciless influences have driven silver from here and: they will turn to other. nations.

Ses ae cae It seems ‘almost ip all over the world today, that there ever offices, no letter carrier, no mail: facilities at all. Bit, of course, there had to be some means of. communication ‘even in the ‘earliest ages, thongh these were confined for centuries. to emperors and kings and . ‘great rulers. The emperors of feat ‘of Persia, of Assyria and of Rome held many lesser kings and satraps as their vassals. With these it was necessary to communicate with schon. and regularity, and therefore couriers were employed to carry dispatches and . reports to and from bee ‘more distant provinces. aR Of Canine Sin dies simie: or one horee. could traverse the whole route, so. statious were established along the roads always itt ‘readinéss: to relieve -weary brothers, aud carry on the dispatches with uniform These stations were called ‘‘posts,’’ from the Latin. word positum—fixed or placed—whence Sesien the neipe of our modern postal <In the Old Testament are frequent references tothe posts. In II Chronicles you will find, “So the posts went with the letters,’ and ‘Se the posts passed from city to city.’’Ii Esther also and in Job and Jeremiah you will find other allusions to the posts, But they were never. for the use of the common people. The Roman Emperor Augustus was the first to establish @ system of posts suggestive of the present system. You have heard the saying, ‘All roads lead to Rome.”*’ This was the origin of it: rom Rome.as a, center post-roads were built, called ‘‘royal highways, ”’ extending all over Enropé. . After the decline of the Roman empire these post roads were abandoiied by degrees, and during the dark ages thoy almost entirely disappeared. In the thirteenth aud fourteenth centuries, however, their need began to be so strongly felt that posts between different parts of the same country. were established, atid soon ‘these were extended into other countries) These posts were carried first by foot runners and then a little later by mén on horseback. It was not long, though, before the post privilege was extended, and it-was found impossible for horseback riders.to carry the increasing. mail, so: ‘wheeled. conveyances. were provided, and the next step was for these conveyances to carry passen } ag well as the mail. And thas ‘the post was evolved the mail coach. What this meant to our hitherto shut in ancestors it is hard for us of the present day to-realize even faintly. But’ it is safe to say that the evolution of the -public post and the mail. coach did more than any other, one thing to hasten civilization. ' In the reign of the Emperor Frederick TH, Francis von Laxis, whose grandfather is said to have established a post-" al service across the Tyrol and Styria, entered the service of the house of Hapeburg and became the founder of the modern postal. system. Through Von Laxis the emperor established regular ‘pests thronghout his kingdom between the years 1440 and 1493, and at the beginning of the sixteenth century the Austrian post became the international post of the Hapsburg dynasty. In France the University of Paris organized a postal service in the thirteenth hoods and mercantile guilds which established Loornlargy postoffices subject to the government. In England, in 1658, Rowland Hill started a private post, but Cromwell’s heavy hand came down on the enterprise, and the men who carried the letters were trampled down and killed by his soldiers, Later on Mr.Hill came to the front again, instituted many. reforms.in the sérvice, and at last gave to England a real and effective postal service. Louis Xiof France foanded a postal system in 1464, which was greatly improved by Charles [X in 1565. : But it-was-not alone the Christian nations that felt the need of ‘a postal service, When the Spaniards invaded sonth America, they found a regular system of posts in operation, so that the news of their landing was carried to the aca with incredible swiftness, the postinen being runners, who carried around their. waists knotted cords, a code of signals or sign writing: < Coming down to our own country, suppose we take a peep at the mail methods in vogue in #3 earlier days.
