| Mr.. Bryan-"But which we hoped
would be our country before the cam
paign closed. cRight, right" and APP
piause) Therefore / have been more
than gratified TO find that it was not
necessary to open the campaign in the
east, ii has already been opened there.
But shall promise you this, that in the
progress OF this campaign not a single
private in the ranks will stand nearer
to the enemy's guns than he, in whose
| hands is the standard. (Cheers.) We
are prepared to defend our platform. 1t
presents, as We believe, those policies
which are for the best interests of all
the people and we are not terrified be-
cause our enemies have sought 70 apply
10 US epithets and hard names when
they find it impossible TO oppose the
positions which we have taken" Gap
plause)
They shall not be permitted to put
US in the attitude of opponents to the
government but we shall show them
that there is a difference between de-
Tending the government and defending
the vicious legislation inaugurated by
the government for private ends (Tre-
n.endouS cheering)
My friends, in this campaign there
is only one great issue. If that is set
tled it will not give US a government
perfect in all its details. but that one
question must be settled first before
other questions can be settled. A ma
tor that is not able TO adopt its own
financial policy is too impotent to leg
is.ate on any question where the people
are concerned. (CheersD We do not
say that our opponents are insincere;
We do not say that hey are less honest
tran we, but We do say that when they
attempt TO say to the American people
That We must be dependent upon the
legislative act of some other government
we say it matters not how honest they
may be. we dare not entrust legislati ton
in their hands. Q4ong chereing)
Idesire to thank you for the interest
you have shown in the very beginning
of this campaign. i have no fear that
your interests will be allowed to die
not a bit.
81 believe that the toling masses of
this country. those who have achieved
and must achieve its greatness, are will
ing 10 rik their all in this republca nd
rise and fall with it; and to them we
can appeal this campaign with a con-
fdent assurance that when the vote is
counted an enormous majority of
American people will declare in favor
OF the American system of finances for
the American people, administered by
Americans" loud and continued
cheering)
SPEECH NUMBER TWO.
We are ntering upon a campaign
which will excede in interest and inten-
s-ty any campaign through which we
nave passed. L see before me the faces
OF young men---young men who, like
have grown up since the war.
We nave bene lighting those war ques-
tons and too often the bitterness of a
quarter OF century has fingered 20
cloud our Judgment and 10 darken our
But We have reache
a new era. We have come upon a ,,.r-
lod when all war questions are settled
and when the people come face to face
with great industrial problems. when
people come face to face with great
economic questions. Every political
must, if it remains before the
public Gong, be based upon economic
truths, and every economic question is
al last a moral question, a question of !
iSHt anu wrong, ana no question has |
ever ben settled until it has been settled |
upon the basis of what is right.
