IN INDIANA
| SOUTH BEND Und). Sept. 3.-Mr.

a throng of nearly 1900 people, a large

wild scramble in an endeavor to shake

wasting words, presented the Demo-
|
Mr.. Bryan was enthusiastically
cheered.
| Mr. Bryan spoke of the pleasure it
gave him to enter the great State of
Indiana and be welcomed by its distin-
| guished executive. I'VE are" said he,
| entering upon a campaign which StirS
| mems hearts, a campaign which is
drawing out the interests of all the
people / have not in all my journey
| from Nebraska to the sea found sim
| gle lukewarm person. L have found
some against us. but everybody was for
or against US, no idlers anywhere. (Ap-
piause) This shows that the American
people are realizing their responsibility
and preparing to exercise with intelli-
sence and patriotism the right of suf-
frage when election day arrives.
| There are principles which underlie
the money questions, principles which
you must understand before you can en-
ter into a discussion of the money ques-
ton, and the first great principle is that
the value Of dollar depends on the
number of dollars. You have to learn
that scarce money means dear money,
and that increases the purchasing
power Of a dollar Our opponents dis
4
ON political economy will tell you that
| the volume is immaterial.
Now, my friends, l assert that when
the Government prohibits the making
Of a dollar by an individual then the
| Government assumes the solemn duty
| cf creating enough dollars for the peo-
pie to do business with. Applause.)
Yet the very people who invoked the
/ -
| the peoples money, now deny the right
of the people to invoke the law to re-
plenish the currency of the nation.
| (CheersD / know that whenever we
express an opinion on the money ques-
ton we subject ourselves to the con-
tempt of the New York financiers.
| There is a conspiracy among the money
changers to enslave the producers Of
wealth. 1t is an international conspir-
acy entered into by men who love the
| dollars and the domination of foreign
nations better than they love our flag.
| Great applause) We do not like to be
called anarchists, but 1 would rather be
what our opponents call an anarchist
than to confess that 100000 of peo-
pie are not able to attend to their own
business Some Of them are now leav-
1
the country's good but 1 believe that
they have left the party for the party's
good. (Applause.)
THE very parts of the Chicago plat
| form which have been most hateful to
the men who have used the Democratic
| party for private gain and their coun-
try for public plunder are the nearest
parts to the masses of the American
| people. Applause.) We expected some
| of them to go. We knew some of our
| generals would go. But we knew that
battles are won by the fighting Of pri-
| Yates more than by the fighting of
| Generals. We cannot have their moral
support, but we will get along without
their immoral incubus also. Gaugh-
ter.) We will not have their approval,
an awfully high priced approval, any
how" daughter and applause.)
