1.-THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AMY NORTH CAROLINA DAILY

ditioRs favorable to the boarding of
money in this country?
II read from an article by a Buffalo
financier that upon the success of the
bflsiness man depends also the success
IF all classes, mechanics, laborers and
farmers. There is not a person in this
audience sitting in intellectual dark
nes so thick, but that he knows
that instead of farmers, mechanics and
laborers depending for their success
upon the business man, the
business man depends for his
success upon the farmers, laborers and
mechanics. And yet the man who
would reconstruct society and have
society on it's head instead of it's feet,
assumes the right to think for you
on the money question.
"Bi-meHallism is endorsed by human
history. The gold standard has moth
ing to endorse it, except the misery
which follows wherever it has been
tried. If you believe in the gold stand
ard you ought to vote for my OPP
ponent.
SPEECH AT THE ARMORY.
Mr.. Bryan's speech at the armory to-
night was frequently interrupted by
applause. Some of the sentences APP
plauded were as follows:
'"The gold standard was conceived in
avarice. 1T is fastened upon this coun-
try by fraud and it can only be contin-
ued by deception.
"The gold standard never fought an
open fight in all its career. 1T carries
the mask of the burglar and the knife

upon this country in 1898, the Ameri-
can people had never discussed it. Ev
cry step had been taken at night and
without the knowledge or consent of
the people. W
You have right to consider the
manner and words of those who come
to preach gold standard-these de-
tenders who raise themselves to the
full height of their moral stature and
say. Shall we allow these poor, igno-
rant, incompetent people to ruin them
selvesp"
A voice: "By what means does money
get into circulation?"
Mr.. Bryan: 81 am glad my friend
asks that question. The best way to
investigate the question is to put yours
into circulation. My trouble has been
to keep mine from getting into circula-
ton. Suppose a man raises a crop of
wheat and sells his wheat for money,
how does he get his money into circula-
tion? Suppose man owns railroad
and collect fares, how does he get his
money into circulation? You get GER
tain amount of money, and then put
ting it into circulation is a thing so
familiar that I need not attempt to de-
scribe it. How do you get gold into
circulation"
A voice: ''We don't see any,

times people, when they want the votes

''My friends, when we want votes for
the Chicago ticket. we go to the SOW
ereigns themselves who are the only
owners of their votes. If the employees
of the railroads want to vote for the
Chicago ticket, those who are in
charge of the road have no right to
prevent them, and under the Austria
Iran ballot, they cannot prevent it,.

if there is power enough in the govern
ment to do it, My friends, they call us
anarchists No man who owns prop

platform, if it means anything it means
that we shall go back to the, period
when the motto of this government
was equal rights to all and special YpFi-
vileges to none. We do not want to
appeal to those who wish 10 use the
government for private ends. We do
not appeal to those who want the
government to stand by and protect
them while they trample upon the
rights of the citizens. We want the
support of those who will want to
secure for this government the love of
every citizen for making the govern
ment so good as to deserve the love of
every citizen.
