to the employees. If the manufacturer If
the employer, if the railroad president,
feels as if there must be something on the
outside of the envelope as well as upon
the inside, let me suggest something
which the employer might put there. Let
him write on the outside: You will find
within your wages. They are to cover
your work; they are not to pay for your
vote. (Cries of Good" "Goodn) We
recognize that the men who have sense
enough to do the work we want done
have sense enough to vote right without
our telling them how to vote (Applause.)
Il notice that in some places they have
been organizing sound money clubs,
and they have the applicant sign a state
ment saying that the free coinage of sill
yer would hurt him in his business as a
wage Garner. l have wondered why our
financial magnates did not put in their
application a statement similar to tina t..
Why don't the heads of these syndicates
which have been
Bleeding the Government
make application to Sound money clubs
and write in the application that the free
coinage of silver would hurt them in
their business as heads of syndicates?
(Applause)
"Tbey want people to believe they are
entirely benevolent-that they are philan-

merely because they believe that the peo-
pie will be benefited by having them run
the government and they submit to the
Inconvenience of running the government
in order to help the people who, they say,

applause by the students)
"Why is 1t that the broker and the bond
buyer does not write in his application
that he has a personal interest in the
gold standard? Why is II that these men
want 70 throw upon the wage Garner
whatever odium there may be in using
his vote to protect his personal interests?
/ believe the wage Garner and the farmer
and the business man and the profess
sional man-all of these-will be bene-
fitted by a volume of money sufficient to
do business with
IF you make money scarce you make
money dear. If you make money dear
you drive down the value of everything,
and when you have falling prices you
have hard times And who prospers by
hard times? There are but few and those
few are not willing to admit that they
get any benefit from hard times. No
party ever declared in its platform that
1t was in favor of hard times, and yet
the party that declares for a gold stand
ard in substance declares for continual
ton of hard times.
(Here the band accompanying the First
regiment, national guards of Connecticut,
who had been playing on the east side of
the common marched westward and very
much nearer to the stand where Mr.. Bry-
an was speaking, so that 1t was mposs-
BILE to hear him more than a few feet
away from the front of the platform.
The students, however were not making
as much disturbance as they had been
formerly.
Mr. Bryan continued: ut is hard
enough to talk when all the conditions
are favorable and I must ask you to ex-
cuse me from talking any further in the
presence of the noises against which we
have to combat today
