The Confederate Tribune (Honors History #2)

With the state that America is currently in, no doubt we are all in want of new leadership. What America needs who understands the needs of the people, and someone for the people. This, being the democrat way, obviously shows that a democratic president is needed. But who would have thought that the democratic candidate, William Jennings Bryan, was so ready for the job?
William Jennings Bryan continues to give his speeches from the back of railroad trains, and has already reached the ears of over a million citizens. A man for the people, indeed. Who else would be so bold as to travel the United States to give so many speeches? Certainly not the republican candidate, William McKinley, who prefers to give his speeches on his front porch. McKinley is someone who would help his people, the businessmen, rather than all the people of America.
Bryan’s support of silver in the economy should be like silver bells in all farmer’s and lower-classman’s ears. Using silver would easily solve our economic problem. It’s quite simple. Silver is much more available to all than gold, meaning that if we use more silver, there will be more money for all (everyone will get free silver once put into motion). With this increase in coinage production, prices will go up, which should be of little struggle for anyone, and our economy will rise again. This is, of course, just more proof on how well thought-out Bryan’s plan is to help everyone in this country.
But the new jingling in our pockets won’t be the only thing the public will have to celebrate. Bryan also holds a firm belief on having low taxation for all, meaning the horrible debt that most southerners are in would be easily and quickly cleared.
McKinley, on the other hand believes that if we put more gold into our economy, businessmen will have more financial confidence, and economic prosperity will soon follow. McKinley also believes in high tariffs, meaning farmers and plantation owners will be taxed even more than before. Do we really want someone who is going to make the people who already have less money pay even more? I would say not.
It would seem that the south would be the main ones paying the price and doing the work to fix our economy again. But how much more can we take before we are officially declared bankrupt? Our labor demands are already high. Farms and plantations would surely suffer with the high tariff taxation. William Jennings Bryan does not want to let such unfairness to the south to happen.
The faith citizens hold in Bryan have been standing strong since he was first introduced to the political election, and the chances that this faith will prove successful is more than likely. We should have faith in him, just as he has faith in Christ, and America as a whole.
No doubt we all remember when William Jennings Bryan of the Democratic Party led a crowd-arising speech in support of silver coinage. Back when Bryan’s voice echoed into the hearts of the crowd as he spoke of “a cause as holy as the cause of liberty—the cause of humanity.” His presence had once again took the crowd by storm, and already displayed early signs of superb leadership. His speech continued with excellent and holy reference to the crucifixion, refusing to let mankind be crucified on a cross of gold. His voice reached all the way to the back row of the crowd, as a secret reminder that no one shall go unnoticed if he becomes our next president elect. This was only the beginning of his excellent campaign, and it continues to move millions for good reason. His voice is honest, and we all know that if a voice as strong as his can reach out to all the little people, you can guarantee the man is the right choice for our country.
His voice continues to reach the hearts of millions, and his promises only sound more alluring. His campaign now sounds like something especially made for the people, and by the people. Bryan has certainly proven that he is a man of faith and family with his upstanding wife, Mrs. Bryan, and children. Bryan clearly understands the meaning of family, and how hard it can be to run one. He will surely make decisions with the thought of people of all ages in mind.
So far it seems that McKinley and Bryan are competing head to head for the title of The President of the United States of America. However, it is clear, that if we want things to change for more than just the men with gold in their pockets, then the obvious choice is William Jennings Bryan for president. At this point, it looks like everyone will be, and should be heading for the voting polls come November if we want to be sure the right choice is made.
