Bryan was disappointment with regard
e numbers but fully up to the expeeIa-
Ton Rpn. N expressing re enthuslasm s,Il Mr;
We're entertained al the houses of Mayor
b. White and E. B. Cole, and the pro-
eeeded to the speakers stand. Between
1000 and 5000 people were present. Con-
gresham Jones introduced Mr.. Bryan,
who spoke as follows
am told that in this county were
1ought more battles than in any county
Of like size in the world, and that upon
the earth within the limits of this county
there fell more dead and wounded than
tory of the world. Here opposing lines
We're drawn up face to face; here oppos-
ing armies met and stared at each other
and then sought to take each others
lives. but all those scenes have passed
away, and those who met in deadly
array now meet and comningle here as
friends; (Applause) Here the plough
share has been made out of the sword
ana the spears habe been converted into
pruning hooks and people learn war no
more Here the bands on either side
STIR up the Tagging zeal with notes that
thrill the hearts of man. These two bands
are now component parts of one great
band, and as that band marches on the
Dixie, :, too Great Applause), behind
the band follow the war Scared veterans
who wore the Blue and ,the war SCARED
with each other in the effort to make the
greatest and the grandest of all the ma
ing.)
/ am glad to visit this historic place
They say that here George Washington
once came and threw a silver dollar
across st the river; but remember, my
dollar across the river, it lit, it fell. and
remained on American soil. }Great cheer
lng) They thought that 1t was great
feat then. but we have developed SO
rapidly in the last hundred years that
we have fnanciers now who can leave
George Washington's achievement far be-
hInd We have financiers who have been
able to throw gold dollars all the way
across the Atlantic and then bring them
PACK by an issue of bonds. fGreat cheer
ing.( Would you believe. my friends, that
q silver dollar which was good enough to
be handled by the Father of his Country
IS now so mean a thing as to excite the
contempt of many of our so-called finan-
ciers? Ono, no.") Well, it is. 1t is so
mean that they don't like it. why our
opponents tell us that they want a dollar
that will go all over the world. We have
had dollars which have gone over the
world 50 rapidly that we want dollar
that will stay at home without a curfew
law. (Cheers) Our opponents tell us
that they want dollar which they can
see anywhere In the world if they travel
abroad; | am not SO much worried about
our dollars which travel abroad I want
dollar that won't be ashamed to look a
farmer in the face. loud applause.)
People can have just as good a dollar
lures of law, ana you can determine the
purchasing power of a dollar when YOU
determine the number of dollars. If yeu
want dollars dear make them scarce and
they will be dear. If our dollars are not
good enough now when dollar win buy
ten bushels of oats you can make it good
enough, so that it will buy one hundred
bushels of oats. "a voice: 1--WE don't want
that Kind of a dollar') IF anybody here
has been raising farm produce and COM
planning because they are not cheap
enough you can make them cheaper If
you vote the Republican ticket this fall
