The- Dallas News quotes an
extract from Bryan's St Louis
Labor Day speech with warm ap-
probation. It is his answer to
tho sillystatoiuontsof a New York
banker that the prosperity of tho
farmer 'and laboring mandoponds
upon the prosperity of the busi-
ness man. Among other things
Mr. Bryan say. "So long as
one entertains such an idea he is
certain to entertain erroneous
views upon social and political
questions. All of tho litorary
professional and commercial
classes will tind on investigation
that they depond rtpou those
whoso brain and niusclo convert
the natural rosou roes of tho coun-
try Into wealth Not only must
real prosperity begin with thoso
who toil but thenatjon's progress
toward civilisation must bo meas-
ured by th'e progress made by
tho producing classes. Under
overy form of government it has
boon lossllle to point to a few
persons possessed of means and
rotiuomont but it is tho average
progress not tho progress of a
low that must bo considered.' The
improvement to be hoped for
must come from efforts outside
nt polities. Mental discipline
moral training habits of industry
and economy all have their part
in improving tho general oondt
turn of our people and vet the
lnlluoueo of legislation must not
bo overlooked. '

THE EMl'ERUKQF JAPAN.
A country whose land is nation-
alized wherethere is little poverty
where not private individuals but
the state is rich. Yet only thirty'
years ago Japan was under the
ru'e of feudal lords. Substitute the
names of Matsinoto HnyaSha
Kanagwa for the names of the
Douglas. Hamilton and Neville of
the times of our Henrys and you
have a description of what Japan
was only a short time ago. But
Japan was bidden to raise by one
man a man not made but born to
rule the president Mikado. The
must wonderful man in the world
-but like Kipling's Bobs he doesn't
advertise.' S)f lute yeara those who
write about Japan give the credit
of her rise to this man and that
man but there has been no move
in' the Country thai -has not betn
made by the emperor. Tha talk
about him being shntnp in his pal?
ace is 6heer nonsence. One may
see him any dav in Tokyo taking
a walk pr a drive like othergentle-
men. He wants no luSnTTTge except
at a.cfturt levee he is a man in
eyery sense of the word but the
historian will do him j iiice has
yet to rise. In the r-oellion of
1S0S .when he escaped r ml captiv-
ity he made the pen-.t it a man
and .with an undiscip'ined force ho
defeated the troops sent against
him. Of cqurso you will accept
that when he had dp pa. ted the Ty-
coon heads came off like apples
from a tree. Not so. The emperor
told those who had opposed him to
go home and behave. Nor did ho
reward his followers with tho es-
tates of tho chiefs. Ho had dono
with feudal service he raised a na-
tional army and navy. And ho is-
sued a proclamation for all prin-
ces nobles and land holders to do-
liver their lands and revenues to
tho government. Ho demolished
tho castles except three which
were kept for aneu lis. He dUen
dowed tho churches but raided freo
schools and colleoi all over tljo
country There .ire no tuxes op
tho people now except their rent.
There is still a nobility but it is a
nobility ot tin-lit although aomo
provision iufe mude for thor-eof tho
nobler who were too old to work.
Tho proof o( how it all works is to bo
found in the gieat and iiuro.ibing
wealth and paw or of Japan all of
whuh has luen accomplished U
the short period cf twenty tight
years. Uurary Digest
