The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1896-09-29
MAINE TO new YORK
Yesterday Was One Of Mr. Bryan's
Very Busy Days,
HE WAS IN RHODE ISLAND
Also In Connecticut. and at Every
stopping Place He either spoke
or Smlled-Answers Questions
With Pleasing Promptness.

Boston, Sept. 2s.-Bryan and his es-
cort had a taste OF the hardships Of
campaigning this morning. Having
left Bath, Maine, at midnight. where
there was a scramble for sleepers, the
party was aroused from sleep at 0
o'clock when Lynn was reached. The
candidate was billed for speech at
this place and at Newburyport a por-
ton OF the democratic city campaign
committee boarded the train to receive
Mr. Bryan. and at Lynn station the
other members were in waiting. The
committee had provided carriages and
the party was driven to the hotel,
where an informal reception was held.
Shortly after o'clock Bryan and Sc
wall were escorted to Highland
square, where Bryan delivered a brief
address. The party then took the train
for Boston, arriving at the Boston a
Maine station about 20 minutes later.
where they were met by several hun
dred enthusiastic admirers.
In his speech at Lynn Mr.. Bryan
spoke as follows: "Our opponents are
all the time asserting that business
men ought to take an interest in this
campaign In order to protect their
business interests. II has always
made me indignant that few people
In each community should assume to
be the only business men In 1t, and
should always insist upon thrusting
their business interests forward In
preference to anybody else's business
interests. ! want to show you how the
money question concerns the various
classes of people. Sometimes our OPP
ponents try to array the wage earning
class, those who work in the factories
or by the day for an employer, against
the farming classes. / want to show
you that you cannot separate the In
terests of the wage earning classes
from the interests OF the farming
classes. You do not produce shoes Tor
employment, but for wear. People
do not wear shoes until they are able
to buy them; they cannot buy shoes
unless they have money to buy with;
they cannot get money to buy shoes
until they sell something they have
got and get that money.
Now, you sell shoes to the people OF
the West and South. II you drive
down the prices Of all those things
which the farmers produce. so when
they sell their crops they cannot more
taxes, what money will they have to
buy shoes with? Are you going to
add to the prosperity OF Lynn by max
ing more people barefooted? The wage
earners OF Lynn will be idle until
there is a demand for the products Of
factories OF Lynn and there can be no
demand for that product as long as
you drive money up and property
down.
Failing prices means hard times;
hard times have never been advocated
in q platform by any party although
the republican platform this year,
without directly saying so, promises to
continue the hard times and make
them harder. Do you deny that propo-
sltion? / want you to look at that
platform. If the double standard Is
not more desirable than the gold
standard why does the republican
party want any change? IL the gold
standard is good we ought to keep IT,.
But when the republican party at
tempts to get rid of IL, 1t admits that
II is not as good as bimetallism. But
they promise you, NOTWITHSTANDING
their desire to get rid of the gold
standard, that they will keep 1t until
other nations help us to get rid OF 1t.
Until then, they say, we must MAIN
tain the gold standard.
81 have been talking about that
which Is paramount in this campaign,
and yet | realize that there are other
questions upon which the people feel
an interest. l know they are inter-
ested I'm the plank in our platform
which declares against what Is
known as government by injunction.
] know the people are Interested In
that plank which demands arbitration.
because while our plank is a national
one, and Is confined to arbitration be-
tween employees engaged In interstate
commerce and their employers, the in
dorsement of the principle of arbitra-
ton Is an important thing. IT substi-
tutes Just and peaceable methods in
the settlement of a difficulty instead OF
force. l believe the principle OF arbi-
tration will become as well settled in
this country while we younger men are
alive as the court OF justice Is well set
tied to-day. ] want place where we
can 60 and adjust our differences and
let an impartial arbitrator decide"
At Lynn Bryan said there was much
surprise in the party when they read
this morning Of the burning OF the
underwear factory Of w. II. Burns &
Co., on Salem square, Worcester. This
was the building on which was dis
played last Friday. during Bryan's
speech directly in front Of II. large
American ilag bearing Major McKin-
ley's portrait and an equally large red
flag with Mr.. Bryan's picture. The
police have been making efforts TO Sc
cure the original Of the dispatch sent
from Worcester to Bryan expressing
qualification that the factory had been
burned. but the telegraph company has
thus far refused to surrender H. Bryan
refused TO discuss the matter this
morning
Bryan's departure from Boston was
noticeable only for the enthusiasm
evinced by the 1.500 people who saw
him board the Colonial express at the
Providence depot. He had not made
any speech hut cheer after cheer
greeted the party on its arrival at the
depot. Ii was with the greatest diff
Guilty the party forced its way through
the crowd. As the train moved away
Bryan appeared on the platform and
smiled goodbye.
