such provision. We have repealed the
Sherman law and the Bland act. Mr..
Mckinley said in 1891 that Mr.. Cieye-
land had been discriminating against
silver, had been trying to degrade 1t,
had been trying to contract the cur
reRcy, and that by lessening the cur
rency he made money dearer by making
it scarcer.
wv . can support every contention we
make by quoting Republican authori-
ties and therefore Republicans VINO
come to US in this campaign do not
change their convictions. They simply
change their party name when their
party has abandoned the position it
used to occupy, ana now demands that
you shall surrender the convictions of
a lifetime" Great cheering and APP
plause.) Just as Mr.. Bryan was con-
Guiding his remarks, a cry of How
about Grover?" came from the crowd,
and the candidate smilingly replied:
we are not talking about him now
Since our Republican friends came to
the support of the administration We
have not found it necessary to say
anything about it." Laughter and
cheers followed this statement.
To an appreciative audience that
filled the grand stand and bleachcrS at
Athletic park, William j. Bryan made
a short speech this afternoon during
his stop of nearly two hours in Cedar
Rapids. Between 5000 and 5000 people
were present. John M. Redmond in
troduced Mr.. Bryan, who said in part.
THE three parties which agreed on
my nomination made the money ques-
ton of first Importance, and our oppo-
nents will concede that the settlement
of the money question overreaches all
other questions. And vet our oppo-
nents, not satisfied to fight the battle
en- the money question, have attempted
the bringing in of other issues. They
have even gone SO far as to declare
that in expressing a desire for an in
come tax we were
NOT SHOWING PROPER RESPECT
for the supreme court, which declared
the last income tax law unconstitu-
tional. We believe that we have a
right to express a desire for an in
come tax; we believe that we have a
right to express a hope that a future
court viii undo what the present couro
has done, and in expressing that de-
sire we We're not Subjecting ourselves
to any Just criticism. Let me show
what has been said in regard to that
decision, and then I will tell you the
name of the anarchist who said it.
Here is what someone has said: The

is to give to certain kinds of property
the position of favoritism and advan-
tage inconsistent with the fundamental
principles of our social organization:
and TO invest them with power and
influence that may be perilous to that
portion of the American people upon
whom rests the largest part of the
burdens of government, and who ought
not to be subjected to the dominion of
aggregate wealth any more than the
property of the country should be at
the mercy of the lawless.
What man was it, do you suppose,
who said that the people ought not to
be subjected to the dominion of aggre-
gate wealth? What anarchist do you
suppose that was? A Republican
Judge of the supreme court, and his
name is Harlan. Nothing in our plat
form is as severe as that"
The rest of the speech was devoted
to a discussion of the money question:,
no new lines being taken up.
Mr.. Bryan left Cedar Rapids for
Marshalltown, Ia, over the Northwest
ern at 5:45 p. m. His train Travelled on
a special schedule.
