The San Francisco call., 1896-10-07

viii be worth hundred cents" [cheering.l
That was what was said in 1886. Ny frlends,
instead of saying now that we Will ADOPT Dl-
metallism and drive other nations TO II, ne
says that we will stand by the gold standard
and allow other nations to drive us away ITO om
it. [Applausel
The rest of the speech was devoted 10
discussion OF the silver question on lines
familiar to readers of his previous ad-
dresses.
The six black. horses that drew the
candidates carriage from the State house
TO Tomlinson's Hall cavorted all along the
way past cheering people on the sloe-
walks. About 5000 people were In the
audience there. They were quite as en-
House. Mr.. Bryan spoke from the balcony
of the hall. He said in the course OF his
remarks that when he came to indian
apolis opponents had discovered new
method of warfare. He said:
found that in the State of Indiana the Re-
ppbIicans were circulating an editorial which
appeared in the Omaha World Herald about
four years ago. 1t was an editori al which
criticized pensions and pension appropria-
tions, and ii was stated that that was M
language because was the editor OF the paper.
But need not tell you, because you have al
ready been told before, that that editorial ap-
peared in the World-Herald about two years
before had any connection whatever with the
There is no reason why any soldier who
believes in the principles set forth i'll the
Chicago platform should vote against the
nominees of that convention. If there are
soldiers who are opposed to the principles set
forth in the Chicago platform they will be
found upholding the ticket, just as anybody
eIse will oppose the ticket which is opposed to
the policies supported by the nominees. But
there is no reason why any soldier who be-
lieves in the right of this Nation to have a
financial policy OF its own should oppose any
ms n mis- y
friends, when l hear these fuanciers appeal
ing to the soldiers and telling them that the
free coinage OF silver would hurt the soldier
cannot but wonder when the financiers be-
came so much interested in the welfare of the
soldiers. tCheers. A voice: 'It's q Republi-
can scheme all the timelDl The soldiers VINO
went through the war will distinctly remem-
Der that when they were out fighting in the
field the fnancers were making laws, and
they so made the laws that the man who fur-
nished money was paid back in gold, while
the man who risked his life was paid in green
backs. [Cheers. A voice: "Worth 40 cents
on the dollar"
The gentleman suggests that they are worth
40 cents on the dollar. He is right, The very
men who are now so afraid that the soldier
will draw his pension in 50-cent dollars were
not afraid to pay him for his services In 40
cent dollars. Ny friends, if the soldier looks
at the money question merely from the stand
point of his own interest he must remember
that his pension is only property and that if
he legislates the value OF the dollar up, while
he raises the purchase power of his pension,
he will increase the value OF whatever other
property he has, and If he finds that he can
benefit himself by raising the purchasing
power of his pension he must RENE N Der that
he is condemning his children and his chill
drens children to the injustice OF a gold STAN
dard.
The rest of the speech was devoted to
discussion of the money question, Mr..
Bryan following his previous lines of argu-
ment.
Before starting out to make his night
speech Mr.. Bryan was waited on by the
Bryan and Sewall Travellers Club with
request for a speech. He addressed the
members for few minutes in the Grand
Hotel. His first speech tonight was from
stand in Courthouse Park, where ZOO
enthusiastic people gathered. He spoke
few minutes only and then went TO Tom
hnson Hall to address mass-meeting of
workingman. Six thousand was the
audience, packed, jammed and huddled
together. The cheering that greeted the
candidates entrance lasted fifteen min
utes. In his brief address Mr.. Bryan COM
plimented Governor Matthews and spoke
of how deeply he had been touched by the
loyalty and devotion of candidates for
the Presidential nomination. He urged
his hearers the necessity of supporting
not only the National ticket, but also the
free silver Congressional candidate, and
not TO neglect the fight in the selection OF
United States Senator.
Mr.. Bryan will leave here at o'clock
in the morning and will end his Indiana
speechmaking at Hammond, where is due
tomorrow night.
