several Thousand people had gathered

evidences of approval. I'm his speech
Mr.. Bryan quoted the letter of Mark
Hanna calling on the people who in
tended 10 vote the Republican ticket
to hang the American flag from their
windows October 81. He said: Il
find that the chairman of the Repnb-
lican National committee has issued a
letter TO the American people saying
'the american flag has been IN the
present campaign the emblem or in
sigma of National honor. Its infiu-
aence has been for great good in the
cause of good people. It's display in
many places has been potent in the
advancement of the country's BATTLE
for maintenance of tits honor at home
and abroad. / therefore suggest that
on Saturday. October 31st, all who in
tend to vote on November 3rd for the
preservation of our national honor, for
sound money and the advancement of
our peoples interests and general pros
perity, display the National colors at
their homes, their places of business,
or wherever they may be seen IN order
that voters whose hearts are for their
country may be strengthened in their
purpose. and those who are undeter-
mine3 may be the more patriotically
and intelligently conclude how best to
perform their duty as citizens"
Ny friends, it is the first time that
I know of, that | ever have agreed
with the chairman of the Republican
National committee, but / want to
sign my name to his letter and ask
all those who believe in the idea set
forth there to display the flag ON the
31st of October, because there is not
a thing in that letter but what we
advocates of free silver endorse. Now,
note what he SAYS, that he wants the
flag displayed by all those who, ON the
Bird of November, intend to vote for the
preservation of our National honor.
We advocates of free silver believe that
only by having financial policy made
by the American people for the Ameri-
can people can support the honor of the
United States. 1t is for them to dis
play the flag who have money. We
believe that i'm the money OF the Con-
stitution is a sounder money than that
of those who want to change our cur
rency into pounds, shillings and pence.
We, who believe in basis for our
financial transactions TO rest upon, be-
lieve in a sounder financial system
than those who advocate gold stand
ard and financial system based upon
gold alone when YOU cannot get the
gold to furnish your foundation. We
not only believe in sound money, but
we tell you what we mean by sound
money and do not play the hypocrite
by talking about sound money and
then refusing to explain what the
term means He wants those who are
going TO vote for the advancement of
of our peoples interests and general
prosperity to display the flag My
friends, we believe that free coinage
of silver, the opening of the mints
to the free coinage of silver at 1G to /.
without waiting for the aid Of consent
of amy other nation on earth, means
the advancement of the interests of
the people and of general prosperity.
and therefore we can join with these
men in displaying the American flag
and let it be known to you that YOU
are standing by the flag and that we
are not asking foreign nations what
that flag shall mean.
