Bryan A Prophet
Back in those now far distant
days when William Jennings
Bryan cried “you shall not
crucify mankind upon a cross
of gold or crown him with a
crown of thorns,” the disciples
of high finance to whom he
spoke denounced his utteran
ces as the ravings of a “vision
ary” and “demagogue” and
poured out money in streams to
defeat him at the polls. And
succeeded all too well for
for the interest and welfare of
those who today are forced to
suffer from the evils of the
single gold standard which he
so vigorously denounced and
opposed.
Time has shown that Bryan
was right, for has not human
ity truly been crucified upon a
cross of gold and are not the
millions who walk the streets
in vain search for work and live
on the bread of charity truly
crowned with a cross of
thorns?
Do not all unabiased students
of national and international
finance and economics agree
that the disastrous conditions
in this and other nations and
the inability to overcome them
are due primarily to the con
trol of the world’s gold by a
very few nations and individu
als? Furthermore, do not the
bolder one’s openly declare
that the great financial inter
ests which control a large
measure of the world’s gold
even in normal times deliber
ately manipulate the vast pow
er it represents to create con
ditions such as prevail today
for their private benefit and
with total disregard of the pri
vation and suffering they in
flict upon the helpless people?
And is it not also true that
if this charge is false or with
out proper ■foundation they
might be expected to disclaim
or or deny it? Yet among all
the thousands of wordy utter
ances from the high priests of
finance none have declared it?
falsity. It has been further not
icable that the venial hireling
press which they control has
not attempted to deny or dis
prove that damning indictment.
Instead both they and their
masters prate loudly of other
thing's in an effort to distract
the public mind from facts
which disclose the gigantic
robbery of which the masses
have been made the victims.
Time has truly revealed that
Bryan was indeed a prophet to
whom the world might well
have listened and so escaped
the trial and travail and mis
ery the rule cf gold has thrust
upon humanity.
Just for Fun
-o
Business failures are natural
ly fewer of late, because there
are 60 few left to fail.
Among the worst sufferers
from the Sino-Japane3e war
are the linotypers and proof
readers.
We suspected that it would
happen. Japan has expelled
and excommunicated the
League of Nations.
Now some Republicans will
likely be mean enough to sug
gest that the Treasury Depart
ment has a Woodin head.
One immediate benefit of the
new administration is seen in
the discontinuance of Dr. Jul
ius Klein’s predictions.
Our guess is that Huey the
Kingfish will make more noise
luring the next four years than
the Hull-Dern cabinet.
Importations of tnug oil in
creased greatly last year, but it
wasn’t needed to lubricate the
talking organs of our Senators.
Marlene Dietrich is getting a
i bit of publicity because she
weai’3 men’s clothes and
•mokes cigars—as if there
weie anything original or clev
er about that.
INTERESTING NOTES
London motorists are being
offered gasoline in the form of
bricks of solid petrol, which
give off gas for running the
engine without ever passing in
to liquid state.
Dairy specialists have devel
oped a dry air sterilizing pro
cess for milk cans and utensils,
said to be better than the steam
method.
Practically all-of Louisiana’s
area of 28,000,000 acres of
land and water is potential ter
ritory for oil an^ gas.
Forty per cent, or 320,000 of
the restaurants of the world
are in the United States.
Broadcast speeches during
the last presidential campaign
cost the motion picture the
aters $50,000,000 worth of
business, it is estimated.
TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder, Alaska, Miner
January 24, 1923
-o
Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Frame
have arrived from Port Angel
es to make their home in Hy
der.
Billy Frame’s snow auto is
rambling back and forth be
tween Hyder and Stewart ev
ery few minutes throughout
the day.
Grover Frame is erecting a
building at the northeast cor
ner of First and Main.
Strong financial interests
in New York have taken over
the Vancouver group of thir
teen claims owned by Hugh B.
McGuire and associates, and
the Wodbine group of three
claims owned by Chas. Lake
and Dave O’Leary and will
commence next April on a pro
gram of active development.
Three tunnels are now being
run on the strike of the ore
zone on the Indian property.
The upper is in over 200 feet
and in good mill ore all the
way. The middle tunnel has j
been driven 500 feet at a depth j
of 50 feet below the upper I
tunnel. A crosscut from this j
has encountered high-grade1
ore carrying argentite and wire j
silver. The lower tunnel, driv-1
en about 300 feet below the
galena outcrop, is in about 90
feet. A recent statement by
the management estimates
that $2,000,000 worth of ore is ]
reasonably assured.
Considerable excitement was
caused this week by the report
that the long crosscut tunnel of
the B. C. Silver had reached
the main vein of the Premier.
So far 40 feet of crosscut has
failed to reach the other wall
C. A. Banks, managing engin
eer said the ore is not high
grade but is of satisfactory
quality in every respect. The
tunnel tapped the ore at a
depth of 300 feet and drifting
into the hill will gain depth
very rapidly, a? there is a sharp
rise in the B. C. Silver ground.
ITyder Igloo No. 20, Pioneers
of Alaska, in a little more than
two years’ time, has secured a
position of financial indepen
dence second to no Igloo in the
Territory. The Igloo owns its
| own hall, a fine three-story
structure that cost with fixt
ures and equipment at least
$6,000, without taking into
consideration the large amount
of donated labor which went
into the construction. There
is now ample money in the
! treasury to offset the few out
standing bonds sold to pay for
; the building. The ground on
which the hall stands was do
nated by Dan and Andy Linde
borg. The Igloo1 started with
an initial membership of 63.
