BRYAN'S ALBANY SPEECH.
The Peoples Candidate CannOnading In
the Enemy's Country"

At Albany, N. Y, August 26, Mr.
Bryan addressed an immense crowd OF
people. Before the speech he was enter
tanned at dinner by leading citizens.
The speaker appeared as the band was
playing Hail to the Chief" and the
crowd wildly cheered.
In introducing Mr.. Bryan the Chair
man said: "My fellow citizens, this is a
plain meeting for the plain citizens
There is but one man you wish to hear.
Let there be no fuss and no feather l
have the honor to introduce him, W. }.
Bryan, the nominee for President"
The speech was like all Of Bryan's-a
good one. The immense crowd, nearly
as large as any that has yet greeted him,
gave him close attention. After his
speech he was escorted by large part
Of the crowd to his train. His speech in
part is as follows:
"Mr, Chairman and fellow citizens:
In the presence Of this immense audi
ence 1t is hardly necessary to announce
that the Presidential campaign Is open
for business. 1t gives me great pleasure
to be permitted to address even for
short time the citizens of Albany and
this vicinity. esteem it privilege to
be able to defend in your presence the
policies which I believe will bring pros
perity and happiness to the American
people. In this free government people
express themselves through party organ
izations. 1t is the only way we can give
effectiveness to our conclusions. With
out party we fight without hope of prog
ress. Parties In the conventions adopt
their platform and 60 forth to the people
appealing for the suffrages Of those who
believe that through that party and by
the policies expressed in the platform
they can best serve their country and
protect their right. The Democracy at
Chicago met in convention and their le-
gally chosen representatives laid down q
platform and nominated ticket 1t is
not to be expected that a person will
always find in any platform all that ne
desires and nothing which he does not
like.
"When q citizen comes to vote he
comes with party and indorses that plat
form which gives the besS assurance OF
securing the most important things he
desires. 1t is proper-aye, more, it is
necessary-that candidate who stands
upon platform shall indorse the utter
ances of his platform, and I stand before
you to declare in your presence that
indorse every word and syllable OF the
Chicago platform. But while do so /
expect in this campaign the support OF
many Democrats who are not willing to
indorse all that the platform declares.
In campaign there is always some over
shawdowing issue, there Is in campaign
always one great paramount question
which more than any other will deter.
mine the allegiance Of those who support
the ticket. We appeal with confidence
to those people who are opposed to 6
longer continuation Of the gold standard
policy in the United States. Our oppo'
nents have at last taken definite posi-
ton on the money question. The
Republican platform adopted at st. Louis
declares the gold standard must bt
The advocate., 1896-09-02

inspire confidence in the community
just in one way, and that is by putting
property behind the notes he has out.
How are you going to restore confidence
in the United States by legislatiDg the
value out Of the property upon which
the notes restY You have tried it, and
you have found bankruptcies have an
creased year by year.
"If you want to restore confidence you
have got to restore prosperity to the
great masses Of the people, and talk as
much about good property as they have
been talking about good money. Money
can be too good. 1t can DO so good that
you long for it and pray for it, but can
not get it, Remember that when you
get money, when you increase its pur-
chasing power you have simply driven
down the value Of other things, and IL
those who own money and who hold con-
tracts payable in dollars are willing to so
legislate as to make their property more
valuable, how can they appeal to those
who own property and owe debts to join
them in that sort Of legislstionG have
asserted, I assert again, that without the
aid Of the money-ownlng classes the
gold standard would not stand for one
day in any nation under the sun. l
assert that behind the gold standard
country the only potent force consists OF
those who hold fixed investments and
those who profit the greater by greater
bond issues. They tell the laboring
men Of this nation that they ought to
support a gold standard. The laboring
men of this nation have never found the
managers Of this nation the men who
have exsrted themselves to improve the
condition Of the laboring man. AS q
rule they have spent their time trying tC
break down labor organizations-the
only protection that the lRboring man
has had-when they come to the help oi
the laboring man. I ask you Il you
ought to expect blessings from those you
have only received curses from in the
past? / notice that one Of our oppO
nents the other day said the old soldiers
would be opposed to free coinage. They
gave the impression that the tinancieri
are very much interested in maintaining
gold standard for the old soldiers, anC
during the war the soldiers know the
financiers made their bonds payable II
gold and left the soldier to offer his lifl
upon the battlefield. More than that,
do not believe that the soldiers who were
willing to offer their lives IL need be il
behalf Of their country are to-day goin(
to join in a conspiracy to enslsve 70 mil
lions Of people by lettering them to
gold standard. Our opponents, at leas
some Of them, have been appealing t'
the ministers. have noticed some o
these gold advocates have said to tn
ministers that they should teach th'

everything that is right to our oppC

ask NO quarter; we give no quarter. We
shall prosecute our warfare until there
is not a man citizen that dares advocate
q gold standard policy.
"You ask, why? We reply, the gold
standard is a conspiracy against the
human race, and we would no more join
it than we would join an army to despoil
our home and despoil our family.
don't ask you to take my word for the
evils of the gold standard. / call as
witness a gentleman whose voice haf
been heard Of in the country. | ask you
to read and reflect upon the language
used by John G.. Carlisle in 1873. In
speech made in Congress he said: 'Ac
cording to my opinion the conspiracy
which seems to have been formed here
and in Europe to destroy by Legislation
and otherwise from three-sevenths tt
one-half the metallic money Of the worlC
is the most gigantic crime Of this or an!
other age. It's consummstion haI
brought more misery upon the human
race than all the wars Fhatever occurred
in the history Of the world
"That is the language Of John G. Car
Isle. believe he spoke the truth; snt
If it was true then, it is true now, nj
matter who may change his opinion o
his course upon this question. Men cal
not retract truths.
"Our opponents tell us that the fre
coinage Of silver is going to disturb busi
ness. | ask our opponents to write dow
the worst thing they possibly can Of
date after the restoration Of the fre
coinage Of silver, and when they hav
written the worst l would place sgains
the most dismal the words Of John G
Carlisle and tell them would like tn
worst they could think Of rather tina
being in misery greater than pestllenc
or famine. Can you imagine the NEAR
ing Of those wordsP No, my friends
YOU cannot conceive or describe all tina
is wrapped up in those words Can yo
think OF all the wars Of the past? Whe
you remember that from the time tha
Cain killed Abel until now history ha
been little more than warfare, can 20
remember all OF those warfares and th
misery the wars have caused, and the
think Of the fsmines that have Athlete
mankind from time to time-can 20
add into one sum all the misery cause
by all these dread destroyers, and the
think that the contamination OF COZ
spiraoy Of those who stand behind th
gold standard would bring more miser
than all Of these? Ny friends, believ
this language cannot overstate the int
mite distress that the gold standar
means to the human race.
