81 Mr. Bryan At Boise last week, the !
Sentinel says Never before has such
: crowd assembled Al tie Columbia
sheater. Early IA The evening the
seats "a the house were in taken. then
the standing room followed, and finally
She late corners could only get i
glimpse Of the inside Of the building.
Mr.. Bryan aimed 20 make himself
understood, and he succeeded. So
clear and explicit were his definitions
81 the terms used in the free coinage
discussion thAs 4 child could under
stand him.
he took up che term "16 10 /" and
showed how the eastern people mis-
understood It's import, illustrating his
remarks with numerous amusing inci-
dents that came under his personal
notice. lie then defined the word
''free," - applied 90 coinage by the
silver men and explained that il meant
shat the same rule he applied 10 silver
that u now applied 70 gold. The yell

She white metvi should have The same
privilege. UNLIMITED coinage" was
next referred 10, che term defined and
the principle defended. "We have
unlimited coinage OF gold" said Mr..
Bryan, "and ia order 20 put the met.
Gle On AZ equality we should have IN

The difference between limited coin

and unlimited coinage. The oae

ver the silver producing states had 10

Independent coinage. a. used In op.
position to those who advocate an In.
ternalional agreement was referred 10,
and the hopelessnses 81 waiting Tor che

patriotic language.
In replying TO the argument Of the

nrally driited into the bond purchases
d the administration and asked il we
had money enough Why did we go 70
Europe 70 borrow moreg
Then he took occasion 70 denounce
the administration and turning 10 The
Republicans he said "You have moth
ing 70 boast OF. Your ndministra--
tions have been equally culpahle."
For . Democrat, he advanced new
theory, ard said the government

ton The supreme issue and you will
simplify the situation
