EMPLOYERS SLANDERED.
You have laboring men also in large
numbers in this city. 1 do not know
whether the advocates of the gold standard
who employ men in the shops insist upon
telling their employees how to vote. 1 have
in other places found employers who would
put in envelopes the pay for the days
work or weeks work and then put on the
outside of the envelopes some instructions
to the employees. If the manufacturer, if
the employer, if the railroad president feels
as ii there must be something on the out
side of the envelope as we'll 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 sro1 not to pay for your votes lCries of
Good We recognize that the men who
have sense enough to do the work we want
done have sense enough to vote right with
out our telling them how TO vote. Gap

Il notice that in some places they have
been organizing sound-money clubs, and
they have the applicant sign statement
saying that the free coinage of silver would
hurt him in his business as a wage-earner.
L have wondered why our great financial
magnates did not put in their applica tions
a statement similar to that. Why don't
the heads of these SyndcateS who have
been bleeding the government make appli-
cation to sound-money clubs and write in
the application that the free coinage of
silver would hurt them in their business as

been playing on the east side of the COM

parade during the meeting, marched nearer
to the stand and started lively patriotic
ar completely drowning the voice of the
nominee. The Yale boys renewed their
| cheers. Then, when he could get the at
tention, of the crowd Mr.. Bryan proceeded:
| 1T is hard enough to talk where all the
conditions are favorable. but 1 must ask
| you to excuse me from talking any further

we have to combat to-day"
Then s. A. .Crandal!, of Norwich, pro-
