Lincoln, Net)., Aug t.—According to W. J. Bryan, J. I’. Morgan is the most dangerous man in the United Stsit.es. He says in the Commoner: "If Morgan were a philosopher 'or a student of human nature lie would know that evil and only evil can fol low from the monopolies which he lias helped to organize. He is either without conscience or without, judg ment. or it, is more charitable to take the kaiser's view and consider him as “ineaipable of seeing consequences for ahead.” "He is on a par with the drayman who starves his horse, or the farmer who impoverishes- the -son,, or the merchant who extorts from his cus tomer, or tile parent who allows his child to work in the factory when it. ought to be in school, only he cannot plead necessity a.s an excuse. "America nas no foreign foe half so dangerous as Mr. Morgan and the plutocracy for which he stands, it would be fortunate for this country if all our people understood Mr. Mor gan as well as Germany's monarch does.” INFANT FOUND IN OLD WELL It Had Been Strangled to Death With a Rope.
