The farmer who goes forth in the
morning and tolls all day, begins
in the spring and tolls all summer,
and by the application of brain and
muscle to the natural resources OF
this country creates wealth, is as
much a business man as the man
who goes upon the board of trade
and bets upon the price Of grain.
The sentiments of the speaker
were cheered again and again and
and the galleries seemed to be q
mass of white because Of the hand

renewed again and again, and it
it was some minutes before Mr..
Bryan could be heard. lie pro-
ceeded as follows
The miners who go thousand
feet into the earth, or climb 1000
feet upon the cliffs and bring forth
from their hiding place the precious
metals to be poured in the channels
of trade are as much busiEess men
as the few financial magnates who,

cheering, standing on chairs and
waving their hats and banners fran
tically. Order was finally restored
and Mr.. Bryan continued;
We come to speak for this broad
er class of business men. All, my
friends, we FAY not one word
against those who live apon tne'At-
iantic Coast, bat those hardy pio-
neers who braved all the dangers
of the wilderness, who have made
the desert blossom as the rose
those pioneers away out there, rear
ing their children near to natures s
heart, where they have erected
schoolhouses for the education of
their young and churches where
they praise their Creator, and Gem.
teries where sleep the ashes Of their
dead-are as deserving of the con-
sideration of this party as any peo-
pie in this country. [Great ap-
rlause.
1t is for these we speak. We do
not come as aggressors. Our war
is not war of conquest. We are
fighting in the defense of our homes,
our families and posterity. fLoud
applause.
We have petitioned and our en-
treaties have been disregarjed. We
have begged, and they have Knocked,
and our calamity came.
We beg no longer; we entreat no
more; we petition no more. We
defy them. Great applause and
confusion of the silver delegations. ]
The gentleman from Wisconsin
has said that he fears a Robespierre.
My friend, in this land of the free
you need fear no tyrant, who will
spring up from among the people.
What we need is an Andrew Jack.

They tell us that this platform
was made to catch votes. We re-
ply to them that changing condit-
ions make new issues that the prin.
ciples upon which rest Democracy y
are as everlasting as the hills, but
that they must be applied to new
conditions as they rise. Conditions
have arisen and we are attempting
to meet those conditions.
They tell US that the income tax
ought not to be brought in here
that it is a new idea. They criti-
else as for our criticisms of the
Supreme Court of the L nited States.
My friends, we have not criticised,
we have simply called attention to
what you know. II you want critI-
cism, read the dissenting opinion
of the court. That will give you
