the hope OF the Republican party wsss

Great applause.
Here the procession began to pass by
the stand, and Mr.; Bry an was intef-
rupted for twenty-five minutes. When
1t had passed, he continued
Fellow citizens, L have been inter
rupted in the miast OF speeches before,
but can say to you that of all, this Is
the most pleasant interruptio of which
l have recollection. tApplause.)

cut in two by the most remarkable pa

fortune to witness. (Applause.) They
bore banners which present notices
which make any further speaking un-

notice ono motto, drawn with letters
not altogether according to, the latest

ment that ought to find a lodgement in
the memories of all; that Is "High
money, low times" (Applause.)
L challenge you to find in any of the
speeches that will be made this year by
the opponents Of free silver a single
sentence that contains as much politi-
cal economy and common sense as is
contained in that phrase, "High
money, low times" (Applause.) saw
another motto, "Our barns are full,
but our pock ats are empty" (applause)
and in that sentence is epitomized
twenty years of farming history.
Nature smiles upon your husbandry,
your soil gives forth rich profusion,
but according to the experience of the
farmer, with all that he can do with
his industry, with his economy, with
all his patient toll, he finds that the
load of the American farmer grows
harder every year. (Applause.) In
olden times the rule OF those who
waved and swept the sabre, as they
said, oy right divine, complaint was
answered with the lash, but now the
JUS complaint of the toiling millions
of the United States is answered by
charges that they are anarchists and
socialists. Great My friends,
there is one unfortunate thing in con-
noctlon with the use OF the word anar-
chist as applied to those who are
bandod together to restore the money
of the constitution, there is one unfor-
tunace thing about IL. anarchy is a
thing not to be considered in la.nd
ike this; anarchy can have no home
among the people who have the ballot
to right their wrongs. Great applause. II
AND the unfortunate twjng about this
campaign is that. the name anarchist
Is applied to the bone and muscle Of
this country by men, who are doing
more to overthrow our government
than any anarchist who ever carried
red flag. L say that when this word
anarchist Is applied to the toiling mil
lions by men who seek without toll to
usurp the fruits and reap the rewards
OF those who toll, the danger is that it
Will make the name respectable be-
cause OF It's association. (Uproarous
applause and loud cheering.) / protest
against the use Of that name for the
purpose which deprives it of its terror.
My friends, those who are opposed to
us cannot afford to place the farmers of
this country and the laoorers of this
country in the position of enemies of
the government, because they are the
only friends that any government ever
had. (Applause) My friends, these
are the very mon who are opposed and
desplsed by those who doubt the capac-
lty OF the masses for solf-government.
Lhese are the very people who, in time
OF emergency, must protect their calu-
mlnators from themselves and their
