(ApplauseJ Our opponents talk about
honest money and yet, my friends, they
never touched upon the purchasing power OF
a dollar in defining what is an honest dol
lar They tell us that they want good
money. My friends. there are two things
that we need in money. 1t must not only
be money which is good but we must
have money which we can get hold OF. TAP

Money ought not to be built on the
balloon plan Balloons are built to SO
up, and the higher they go the better they
are as balloons But If dollars are built
on that plan the higher they 60 the greater
is the misery that they bring to mankind
(Applause) our opponents want bal
loon dollar. Our opponents want a dollar
that gets higher and higher all the time.
II we are going to have a gold standard. If
we are going TO have a sold dollar whose
appetite is never satisfied and gold dollar
which insists upon eating half Of the prod
ucts of toll every few years we ought to
change the dies at the mint and SO describe
that dollar that people will understand.
Let us take OF the emhlcms that have
adorned 1t from the beginning and put on
one side the picture of the horse leech and
unaer lhe picture let IL De written as IN
proverbs, Give. give, give And on the
other side of the gold dollar, let US put
the picture of an open grave and above
it let us write, as in Proverbs 1T saSeth
not. it is enough Great applause and
laughter) My friends. that is the sort OF
dollars that the gold standard has given
us. That Is the sort of dollars that the
gold standard will continue to give to us.
when they talk of gold standard
always think of what Lincoln said when
man once asked him how he liked his
speech He replied: Anybody who
would like that sort of speech would be
very much pleased with it applause and
laughter) l find that the people who like
the gold standard are very much pleased
with 1t, but am glad to say that the num-
Der Of people who like the gold standard is
growing less every day, even in New Eng
land" Great applause and cheers.)
There was a large crowd about the spe-
cial car which had been provided for Mr..
Bryan, when attached to the regular train
when it pulled out of Springfield station.
1t was demonstrative and the candidate was
given three cheers and a tiger. which must
have in great measure acted as an Offset
to the not too enthusiastic reception. j.
II. Meland and James O'Gara of Worcester
were on the train acting as representatives.
of the receiving committee from that city.
Short stops were made in order to give the
people of Palmer, Warren and Brookfeld
an opportunity to see the nominee and to
allow a few OF them to snake his hanu.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Sept 25.-The Yale
News today has the following editorial COM
nenting on tho disturbance at the Bryan
meeting here yesterday: THE News must
deprecate the spirit Of horse play'-this is
the true light in which the anirnus must be
regarded-which prompted the dcmcnstra
tion at yesterdays political meeting. The
action of Yale men present plainly showed
a lack of respect for the dignity of the
speaker, as a public man, everything pol
itical aside, and full and fairminded con
sideration will unanimously condemn and
regret the exhibition. irrespective of party
afIiliations.'
Yale was the foster mother of Illinois
college, where w J. Bryan graduated IL
linois college was founded by party Of
graduates from Yale. and has always looked
upon Yale as its parent institution.
