l would not support the nominee. replied
that did not expect him to support the
nominee II he were u free silver man Tie
time came when he was put to the test
and the only difference between him and
me was that I was candid enough to
tell the people l world follow my CON-
science and he tried to control convention
ana then bolted when he failed to do 1t.
II have sent him no letter begging his
support. The highest compliment he can
pay me is TO oppose me because then the
world will know the Secretary oil the
Treasury whom appoint, If l am elected.
Will be as different from him as l can
find.
Il do not dispute the right of any Dem
ocrat to vote 3saiGst the Chicago ticket
if he thinks it's success Will imperil the
country. but what b ask is that these men
who have been pretending to be Democrats
shall now. When 1he Democratic party
has been rescued from the peoples spoil
ers, leave the name and not attempt to
take that name with them into disgrace.
They call themselves true Democrats.
Notrue Democrat ever nominated one ticket
for the purpose OF Voting for another. We
nave this contest to meet and We are pre-
pared TO meet IT. I'VE have a cause that
appeals 10 the intellect OF those who think
and To the heafts Of those who feel. and
VIC "iS WiihiS ~ pfdtt thdt III CHp'-
sition to the cause which merely appeals
10 the pOcketbook."
Mr.. Bryan then went over some of the
arguments on the money question used by
him before and continued as follows:
BRYAN'S IDEA OF FINANCE.
Il denounce the idea some seem to have
That the government has a right to lessen
the volume OF money. but no right to i'll
crease it. l denounce as false aud in
famous the doctrine that the government
has the right to starve the people by taking
their money from them, but has Io power
to feed them by increasing their supplies.
when they tell you that you ought not
to invoke legislation for the purpose OF
Increasing the volume OF currency, tell
them You are following the example set
in 1873, when the money-Owning classes
invoked the power OF legislation to strike
down a portion of the nations money in
order to raise the value Of the other por-
ton. If they can appeal to the Ia W to take
away some OF the money you had, why
can not you appeal to the law to place
You back where you were?
some are afraid if we pass freecoiDaSe
law there Will be such an enormous increase
In the volume OF our currency that We
won't know what TO do with it. You
can't read speech made by our opponents.
but you will find contradictions in it and
one proposition will answer another.
You VIII hear that under Tree coinage
we would be flooded with silver until
money would be so cheap we woul2not have
any use for IT, and when you have been
frightened as badly as you can lie that
way they will tell you this cheap money
will run the dear money out aud 1t
viii take fifteen years, with our mints
running at full capacity, to make money
enough to take the place OF gold and that
VIII make money SO scarce that silver
dollar Will be harder TO get than a gold
dollar You can't have too little and too
much all at once
SAYS GOLD WILL REMAIN HERE.
In conclusion Mr.. Bryan said: Not a
dollars worth of gold would leave this
country under free coinage until those
who held IL felt they were benefited by
letting IL go. But l do not admit gold
would go 10 premium. ! believe under
free coinage gold would come here instead
uf going away and the only way to stop
the outflow of gold is to adopt bi-
nletalhs.n and raise the price OF wheat
and cotton and pay our debts in produce,
instead OF gold.'

Bryan was taken To the So1thern depot nd
