TOLEDO, O., Sept. When the train
bearing Mr.. Bryan arrived an Spring
field, the crush from the steps of the
car TO the platform was simply terri
aole, 10000 people being present. Mr..
Bryan spoke as follows
Ladies and gentlemen: For a few
moments only l shall occupy your at
tention because a large portion Of my
voice has been left along the line of
travel, where it is still calling sinners
to repentance. Great laughter.) I ann
told that in this city you manufacture
more agricultural implements chan are
manufactured IN any other city OF the
country. 1 am glad to talk to you.
who recognize that the dollars which
lou receive are those which are earned
by those who convert The natural re-
sourcs OF this country into money.
those who till the soil, and from its fer
tility springs forth this nations prim-
airy greatness. AS matter OF fact,
the farmers and the laboring men are
the foundation of society. CCheers) Up
onShis foundation is built the CONNER
cial classes, and the financier acts as a
sort OF roof over the whole thing.
You can take of the roof and put on an
other, but you cannot destroy the foun-
dation without running the whole bull
ding. (ApplanseD Upon the prosperity
of the great producers of wealth, whom
we call the masses as distinguished
from the classes. depends all the
prosperity OF this city. If you have a
gold standard you legislate the value of
money up and you legislate the
VALUE OF PROPERTY DOWN.
The very Legislation, that increases
the purchasing power of a dollar sim
ply enables uhat dollar to buy more of
other things How can a. dollar be
made to buy more of other things?
BY making more wheat sell
for d dollar. more corn for a. dJ-
lar, more oats for a dollar, more pota-
toes for a dollar. more of the product
of toll exchanging for a given amount
of money. 1t is a good thing for the
man who owns money and buys proper
ty, bur it is a mighty bad thing for the
aisn who has to pay money with the
property that he produces. (Applause.)
How does the gold standard affect YOU?
YOU make your implements and you
So them to the farmer. Suppose the
farmer finds his taxes don't go down,
his interest does not go down. his debts
don't go down. but the price of all that
he sells goes down What does 1T mean?
1t means that he has a less amount to
expend on agricultural implements and
and on the support of his family.
(Cheers) If you sell him agricultural
implements he promises to pay YOU
and the legislation destroys his aibaai3v
to pay then You find fault because YOU
have to take your implements back.
and sell them secondhand to somebody
else. (Cheers) That is the effect OF

teri The farmer is the most helpless !
victim Of circumstances of all the pro- 1

in manufacturing and finds the demand
is decreasing he can close his factory |
and stop the expense of production. I
but the farmer can't. When he plants I
his crop in the spring he does not know /
whether there is going TO be a flood /

trying to read us out of the party for
