Nashville. Ill. Sept 14-Although the
ho,r was very early when Mr.. Bryan's
train reached Belleville, Ills, where the
0rst stop was made more than thousand
neonle were waiting for the candidate
there Most of them were gathered about
o temporary platform near the tracks,
b,t large number held positions on top
of neighborlng box cars. Mr.. Bryan was
presented by Martin w Shafer, chairman
of the democratic county committee, ana
made a short address. For the first time
since he was nominated, Mr.. Bryan trav-
eed by special train. He has made jour
news in special coaches, but never before
in this campaign had he been provided
with an entire train for his exclusive use.
The train was furnished by the Illinois
state democratic committee, while the
combination sleeping. dining and parler
car in which he will live while in Ken
lucky. was rendered by Col. Urey Wood
son. of Owensboro, a national committee
man from Kentucky.
In the course of his remarks at Belle
Vile, Mr.. Bryan said: "If the people of
the United States deliberately throw their
influence upon the side of the gold stand
ard it simply means that they raise the
value of an ounce of gold through the
world. If we succumb to the influences
which are opposed to US, the great money
influence, these same influences will be
turned upon weaker nations, and nation
after nation will be driven from the use
Of silver as every new nation that joins
in the crusade for gold will make our
property cheaper and our money dearer,
who own money and change money and
add continuing distress to the people who
toll and produce the wealth of the world.
(Cheers) We are here in a great laboring
community. I call your attention, men
who toll, to the fact that not a single in
stance in the history of recorded time has
the gold standard ever received the volun-
tary Endorsement of those who labor
81 (Cheers) 1t has been supported, it has
been defended, and it has been propogat-
ed by those who, instead of producing
wealth, live upon the toll of others and
by holding and cornering the money of
the world charge what they will for it
of those who must have it to do the busi-
ness of the world. Take away the
gold standard, the support of the
money-owning classes and money
changing classes, and it will not stand
for a single day in any nation on earth
(Cheers) We are laboring TO bring re-
lief not only to the agricultural people,
but the masses of the people everywhere,
because whenever we take away that IN
creasing strain upon the small supply of
gold in the world, we bring hope in
splraton and relief to all the masses of
mankind who for twenty years have been
weighted down by the burden of the gold
standard. (Cheers) l beg you, there
fore TO remember this, that upon your
vote may depend the action of the state
OF illinois. We do not believe this is true
because we think the majority will Ice
more than one, and if it shall be less than
"vN we shall be disappointed Applause
ana cheers, and cries of "You will not.')
IL II should be but one, 1t simply means
mls, that upon your action as a voter
mlgnt depend the result in this sta,e,
ana upon you as an individual may de-
u peha whether silver may be restored or
HoD appeal to you to do your duty as
you see it, and let no threat or persuasion
prevent you from making each vote reg
