Democrats Attack Farmer Prosperity in Election Debate
An analysis argues farmers benefited more from price increases in farm production than in consumption between 1896 and 1900. It cites wheat and corn price changes, notes production gains, and claims Democrats cherry picked wheat to claim farmers were worse off. The piece references the Bureau of Statistics data and Mr. Bryan’s nominations.

Cleveland's Comptroller urges unity to kill Bryanism as a disturbing factor. The West appears favorable to opposition to Bryan and his public stances, with his strongest locals conceding loss since 1896 unless he rallies in the Middle West and East. Pacific States, Dakotas, Wyoming, and Kansas likely oppose him.

A campaign pamphlet exhorts voters to defeat Bryan, warning that his election would threaten the currency, labor, and economic stability. It argues the gold standard harms prices and jobs, urges support for McKinley, and criticizes populism and Crokerism as threats to the Democratic Party.
