Citizens of New York: I have travel
ed from the center OF she continent TO the
seaboard that 1 might, in the very begin
ming OF the campaign, bring YOU greeting
from the people OF the west and south
and assure you that thel- desire Is not 10
destroy but 10 build up. They invite YOU
to accept the principles OF 4 living faith
rather than listen 10 those who teach the
gospel OF despair and advise endurance
OF the ills you have. The advocates OF
free coinage believe that. IN striving TO
secure the immediate restoration Of BIZ

Of your people may prosper under present
conditions. but the permanent welfare of
New York rests upon the producers OF
wealth. This great city is built upOn the
commerce OF the nation. and must suffer
II that commerce is impaired. You cannot
sell unless the people have money with
which TO buy, and they cannot obtain the
money with which TO buy unless they are
able to sell their products at remuuerative
prices. Production of wealth goes before
the exchange of wealth; those who create
must secure a profit before they have any
thing to share with others. You cannot
afford to join the money changers in sup
porting a financial policy which, by de-
stroying the purchasing power OF the
products of toll, must in the end discour-
age the creation Of wealth.

is true that few of your financiers would
fashion a new figures, "a figure represent
ing Columbia, her hands bound fast with
letters OF gold and her face turned toward
the east, appealing for assistance to those
who live beyond the sea, but this figure
can never express your idea Of this nation.
You will rather turn for inspiration TO the
heroic statue which guards the entrance

was the gracious gift of a sister republic,
and stands upon a PEDESTAL which was
built by the American people That hg-
ure, Liberty Enlightening the World, is
emblematic of the mission OF our nation
among the nations of the earth. With a
government which derives its powers from
the consent of the governed, secures to all
the people freedom of conscience. free
dom of thought and freedom of speech,
guarantees equal rights to all and prom

States should be an example in all that is
good and the leading spirit in every move

When he concluded, after speaking an
hour and forty minutes, there was another
demonstration, but it was brief. The far
galleries had perceptibly dwlndled and the
crowd had shouted itself into the same
condition of voice that Mr.. Bryan was.
Gov. Stone, at the conclusion of the
cheering, turned to Mr.. Arthur Sewall, the
vice presidential candidate and in few
words formally notified him OF his nomi-
nation. Gov. Stones remarks were not
audible even to those who sat near the
platform. The audience became restless
and were in great disorder 1t was evident
that the people who had sat out the great
speech of MIR. Bryan were anxious to get
out in the fresh air.
The chairman raped many times for
order, but could not quiet the audience.
Mr.. Sewall was obliged to begin his speech
amid a noise and din that made it diff
cult for him to be heard ten feet away.
The speaker was compelled to stop several
times while the chairman urged the audi
ence to restore order. People were NOV
ing in great numbers, and the noise in the
speaker.
