Bryan in Congress; Bryan in the Campaign

When prices are falling and money
is rising a man can better afford to
lock his money up in a vault and
gain the rise than invest lis money in
property and risk less in the value Of
the property. Youarc making the prop
erty not worth having and everybody Is
trying toturn propertyinto money. And
while the gold standard lasts that con-
dition must remain and times must be
hard, and hard times mean more idle
men, and more idle men means more
destitute men, and more destitute men
means at least more criminal men. and
yet the gold standard men appeal to
the ministry to increase crime. e.-Bryan

Pulaski, Tenn, oct. IA committee of
twenty, with brass band, Went To COium bia
to meet Gems. Palmer and Buckner. the
gold Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency.
The candidates met a cordial welcome
when they reached the city, and the opera
house, W here they spoke. was crowded with
possibly 500 people, who literally ap-
plauded the speakers.
Mayor King opened the meeting, well
coming the city's guests, saying that
all were glad to welcome them.
Gen. Palmer was introduced by Hon.
Flournoy Rivers, a gold Democrat, and
spoke for an hour. Gen. Buckner has many
personal friends here, having once been
the guest OF Gen. John C. Brown.
The kentuckian's appearance was
signal for loud applause. Much OF the
eoruiality OF the meeting is due to tie
esteem in which he is held by the old
soldiers, who followed him as Con
federate officer. Many ladies attended
the meeting.

ing power of a dollar simply cna bles that
dollar TO buy more OF other things How
can dollar be made to buy more OF other
things? BY making more wheat sell
for a dollar, more corn sell for a dol
lar, more oats sell for a dollar, more
potatoes sell for a dollar, more of the
products of toll exchanging for given
amount Of money. 1t is a good thing
for tue man who owns money and buys
property, but it is mighty bad thing
Tor the man who has TO pay money with
tue property that he produces.
How does the gold standard affect
you? You make your implements and
you sell them TO the farmer. Suppose
the farmer finds his taxes don't 90
down, his interest does not go down,
his debts don't so down, but the price
OF all that he sells goes down. What
does it mean? 1t means that he has q
less and less amount to expend ON
agricultural implements and on the sup-
port of his family-Mr. Bryan at

goods we shall not only be able 10 ex-
port woolens as we now export mann
factures OF cotton, Of leather and OF
Iron, but we shall increase the. con
sumption of such goods among our own
people, and every increase in consunip-
ton increases tie demand for labor TO
Produce, and an increase in the de-
mands for labor will result in more
CONSTANT employment and better wages.
In other words, the American People
give to the manufacturers enough to
pay for all their labor and q Ike amount
in addition to induce them to make
the distribution. Perhaps this is stating
1t too strongly. because a Part of the
protection given 10 the manufacturers
Is absorbed by the duty which the manu-
facturer pays on material which he
uses, but 1T is safe to say that the
Consumers OF protected goods pay out
considerably more under the pretense
of helping the laborcr than the total
amount received by the laborer.-Mr.

The export price of wheat in 1891
was SO cents per bushei, in s92, S1.O3.
and in 1898, so cents. The export
price of cornmeal and wheat flour
rose in S92 and fell in 1893. The high
price of certain agricultural products,
as every one kno VS., was due TO the
short crops abroad, and the advantage
thus aCcruing to our farmers can only
be attributed to the Mckinley bill on
The ground that it blighted the crops in
foreign lands.
These figures also show that the
price received for the great stapfes
OF agriculture in the United States de-
pends upon the price in foreign markets
and not upon a tariff on these prod
ucts.
Many duties upon the agricultural
products, which afford neither revenue
nor protection, were reduced or abol-
ished. One very important feature of
the bill is the addition to the free list
of several articles classed as raw ma
terials. .. Wool, for instance, is
the chief raw material In the woolen
industry, and 1t has been placed upon
the free list. - / am for free
wool in order that the vast ma jority
of people who do not raise sheep, but
who do need warm Clothing to protect
them from the blasts of winter, may
have their clothing cheaper.-Mr. Bryan,
