Nearly forty years ago J. H. “Cy-
clone” Davis of Texas in speaking
for Bryan and Free Silver in Nebras-
ka said;
“The Gold Standard will junk the
silver money of the world, which will
be equal to burning half oL-thc -world's
property or sinking it in the ocean. It
will dot the world with millionaires
and malevolet rich and make mendi-
cants out of millions of the masses.
It will gorge the indolent, arrogant
rich and starve the industrious work-
ers. Around the place of' its benefici-
ary will stand a hundred huts and
hovels of its pauperized victims. It
will rob the farmer of his home and
the working man of his job and fill
the land with law made vagrants to
beg, steal or starve. Every) farm will
be a ‘poor farm’ worked by its out-
raged victims.
“Answering the arrogance of the
rapacious rich the conscience of the
common herd will become sordid and
sinister; crime, robbery and riots will
run rampant and revolutions make the
climax. The world will be plastered
with billions of gold-bearing securit:
ies issued by the trusts and combines
and different forms of government.
The owners of the gold will own these
securities; they will exempt them
from taxation and throw the burdens
of government on the common man.
.It will be Impossible for the gold of
the world to liquidate even the inter-
est of these billions of debt held by
Shy lock. Under this load for a while
the world will stagger, then the col-
lapse will come with a tragedy that
will shock civilization and may result
in universal repudiation." — Texas

ROCKSPRINGS—When 67-year-
“Raffles
old Clayton Morris’ horse,|
We” came in at the head of the pack
in the three-eighths mile race here on
Lalzbr Day, it recalled to many ranch-
men’and race followers the days when
% Morris Ranch horses were known all
over America. The parlor of the Mor-
ris home at Morris Ranch, Texas, half
way’between ^Fredericksburg and Kcrr-
ville, and lying about a mile and a
half off highway 81, has trophies of the
times when horses bred and trained
in the live oaks and post oak coun-
try <jrew the winning purse.; over the
big circuits.
There’s one large cup, big enough
to hold water to bathe a colt, won by
the famohs Orbicular, at the Dallas
fair in 1907. Orbicular is gone, and
so is the hotel, the old Oriental, that
presented the cup to the winner of
the two miles and a quarter event.
Orbicular was the first horse to run
the three quarters in 1:12, and he
cculd step th^ longer paces too. There
is another cup, won by Uncommon
Gold, at East St. Louis, 111., in 1928,
a Cup presented by theBroadview Ho-
tel of that city. Uncommon Gold is a
good horse, he is still running in Chi-
cago,’ winning now and then, but there
have been so many good new horses
on the. tracks lately that he has not
been winning them all. In a few years
