the campaign Is over. (Yels.)
MY friends, our platform has de-
clared than the paramount issue of this
campaign is the money question, and
believe it is true, because upon the re-
suit of this election will turn the filan-
cial policy OF this country. The Re
publican Ivrty has declared that the
nation shall retain its present financial
policy until other nations shall join
with US in abandoning it. The Demo-
cratic platform declared for an Amer
lean financial policy for the American
people (applause), ard when l stand
for an independent financial policy l
am not appealing to any prejudice
against another nation. l am simply
doing in this country what every Eng
lishman does in England, what every
German does in Germany am as
ssrtfng and / shall defend the right Of
these people to attend to their own
business. CYells and applause) My
friends. no foreign nation has ever
adopted such a policy as the Repub-
lean party asks us to adopt No for
mer party has ever gone before the
country with such a proposition as the
Republican party now presents. SO
far as l know. no statesman in for
eign land has ever advocated a policy
dependent upon the decision of the peo-
own. (ApplauseD 1t has been

that the newspaper report at the time
correctly reported what Mr.. Mckinley

head of the government, he was dis
honoring one of our precious metals,
one of our great products; discrediting
silver and enhancing the price of gold.
He endeavored even before his inaug-
uration TO office to step the coinage of
silver dollars and, afterward, and to
the end of his administration persist
emily used his power to thai end. He
was delegated TO contract the circulat-
ing medium and demonetize enc of the
coins Of commerce, limit the volume of
money among the people; make money
scarce, therefore dear. He would have
increased the value of money and d.
minished the value of everything else;
money the master, everything else the

DATE

dent CT the United States. l quote You
the language in which the Republican
candidate denounced the policy of
Cleveland. loud Kisses and deep
groans) MY friends. the Republican
candidate in thar speech AT Toledo
showed that he understood then the
principle that underlies
the money question, namely: That the
value of a dollar depends upon the num-
Der Of dollars. He recognized then.
that you could make dollars dear by
lessening their number. He recognized
that you could raise the purchasing
power of a dollar by law and by law
reduce the value of all kinds of prop
erty. We have right TO conclude
that he has adopted that policy; that
money should be master and all things
else be the servant" (Applause)

vious speeches. Mr.. Bryan had spoken
fifty minutes when he closed.
Besides the great meeting in the
wigwan there were seven others in the
open air, but the success OF the latter
was almost ruined by the severe rain
md wind storm which broke over the
,ity before the preliminary speakers
