panying them jumped into carriages and
were driven rapidly across town to the
Park Square station, where they boarded

| handshake.
Providence, R. l., Sept 2s.-A crowd of
1900 people greeted Mr.. Bryan in this
city this morning and listened to a short
| speech from him. He arrived from Bos-
ton on the 1905 o'clock train, accom-
| panied by Mr.. SeWall, George Fred Will
liams and National Committeeman
| Plaisted. A number of people shock
| hands with him at Mansfield, the only
| stop made between Boston and Prov-
| dence. A reception committee, consist
| ing of members of the democratic state
! central committee, and the Bryan BIZ
| metallic Club of Pawtucket met him in
Boston and accompanied him to the city.
A platform had been erected near the
| soldiers and sailors monument, on EIx-
change place, and here, ex-Gov. Davis
| introduced the democratic candidate. He
] I1-ac pd wit al
a short speech, being followed by Mr..
Sewall and Mr.. Williams
AS soon as Mr.. Davis had finished his
words of introduction, Mr.. Bryan took
off his coat and for a few seconds he
gazed earnestly at the surging mass Of
| people before him. As he did so a boy
about 10 years of age was raised above
the heads in the crowd about ten yards
from the platform. The boy was crying,
and, taking in the situation, Mr.. Bryan
said Just hand him up here" The boy
was passed along, and when he reached
the platform the presidential candidate
lifted him over the rail, while the crowd
cheered again and again. AfteE placing
the boy on the platform, he again faced
the crowd, and with q smile on his face,
remarked: There's no telling but that
he may be boy orator some day"
Mr.. Bryan said: My friends, before l
commence l want to warn you to beware
the crowd. / have found that pickpockets
take advantage of large crowds and when
you find the surging going on, you Will
generally find It started by some pick
pocket You watch them (Checrs)
After these few remarks, Mr.. Bryan
paused for a brief time, gazing again
upon the surging mass, with compressed
lips Chairman Davis rose and request
ed the crowd 20 give attention. You
cannot all near from this stage, and not
half as many viii be able to hear unless
you keep quiet It is useless to crowd
up and all try to get in the center"
Now, will you ali stop and stand still
for little whne?" said Mr. Bryan.
Cries Of Eyes, ''Yes" were heard on all
sides. and he continued II do not come
to preach TO you new gospel. The posi-
tion which we take on the money ques-
tion IS an old position not a new one. We
are not flying IN the face of natural
laws. as our opponents sometimes assert,
nor are we trying to oyerturn the prin-
ciples OF political economy. Those who
advocate bimetailism are the only ones
in this campaign who are telling eco
nonic truths ard defending the nat
ural laws of trade When I define an
honest dollar as an honest dollar, which
does not change in It's purchasing power
it may give TO you q definition which has
been a sound definition among all writer's
on political economy. When ] give you
that definition, ] am simply giving you
a definition which has been given
to the world by that distinguished edl-
Gator who lives in this city, and who IS
an honor not only 10 the city and to this
state, but 90 the nation. (Aplause) Presi-
dent Andrews, IN a recent work, entitled,
An Honest Dollar commences the hrSs
chapter with the words which / shalt
quote: IT is always assumed or admit
ted that the ideal sort OF money woul1
be money with unit, having a steadfast
general purchasing power
when Prof. Andrews describes the ideal
money as a money whose unit Is the
steadfast general or average Of purchas-
ing power, he planted himself upon the
solid rock and all tho anancers OF this
and other countries cannot prevail against
the character of this definition. Gap
plause) The poet has told US that AN
honest man Is the noblest work OF Cod
We may supplement this statement by
adding that an honest dollar, wherever II
is found or made. Will be the noblest work
Of man. But, my friends the gold dor
lar Which IS praised to-day as the honest
dollar is not the honest dollar, and those
who love il most love II because Of its
own dishonesty as n dollar. C5pD.auseD
