At Lynn Mr.. Bryan said:
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: Our
opponents all the time asserting that
business ought to take an interest in this
campaign in order to protect their business
interests. 1t has always made me indig-
should assume to be the only business men
in it, and should always insist Upon thrust
ing their business interests forward in pref
e. ence TO anybody elSeS business interests.
/ have always believed that any one who
contributed to a nations prosperity, who
added to a nations welfare or nations
greatness was business man. (Applause.)
The man with small business interests has
as much right to protect those small inter-
ests by his ballot the man with large
business interests has the right to protect
his interests by his ballot (ApplanseD
want to show you how the money question
concerns the various classes of people,
Sometimes our opponents try to array the
wage-earning class, those VINO work in fac
tories, or by the day for an employer,
against the farming classes. / want to
show you that you cannot separate the in
terests of the wage-earning classes from
the interests of the farming classes. You
don't produce shoes for ornament, but for
wear.
For the Understanding.
People cannot wear shoes until they are
able to buy them, and they cannot buy
shoes unless they have the money to buy
with: and they cannot get money to buy
shoes until they ssll something they have
and get that money Now, you sell shoes
to the people of the west and south. If
you drive down the prices of all those
things which the farmers produce, that
when they sell their crops they cannot
more than pay their debts and interest, and
taxes, what money will they have to buy
shoes with? Are you going to add to the
prosperity of Lynn by making more peO-
pie go barefooted? (Cr.eS of NO, no.
The wage earners of Lynn will be idle un-
til there is demand for the products of
the factories of Lynn. and there is no de-
mand for that product as long as you
drive money up and property down. Fall
ing prices mean hard times. and hard times
have never been advocated in a platform
by any party. although the republican plat

promises to continue times hard and make
them harder. Do you deny that PROPOSE
tion? l want you to look at that DAT
form. 1t declares a gold standard is not
desirable. because the party pledges itself
TO get rid of it. If the double standard Is
not more desirable than the gold stand
ard. why does the republican party want to
make any change? If the gold standard IS
good, We ought to keep it.
Gold Standard Incidents.
But when the republican party attempts
20 get rid of it. 1t admits it is not as good
as bimetailism. But they promise you.
notnfths tanding their desire to get rid of
the gold standard. that they will keep it
until other nations help us to get rid Of it.
Until then they say We must maintain the
gold standard. "a voice, Yes. but we
won't.') No. don't think We will myself.
II we maintain the gold standard We must
maintain those things which are necessar-
lily attached to them. We must maintain
this system of issuing bonds for gold when
ever We want gold When We issue bonds
and buy gold we create a demand for
gold and raise Its purchasing power
throughout the world. but We are con-
:racting our currency by piling it up 1t
the vaults at Washington. when it ought
to be out doing business among the peo-
pie You manufacturers and merchants
go to the banks for money. The banks tell
you they very sorry. but they cannot
loan any money just now. There can be
IT. ftrn
people permit. If you make your laws
you draw a part of the money out Of
circulation and lock 1t up you can't use 1t
in your BIT siness and have 1t in the vaults
at Washington both at the same time.
That locks plain enough, yet there are
financiers who go on the theory that the
more money you take out of circulation,
the more you have left in It,
Matter of Confidence.
There are financiers who actually re-
:ciced at the issue of bonds. and said it
would restore confidence. They are trying
70 run business in this country with a
larger and larger per cent of confidence to
the amount of money on hand. And if
they go Oh, the people will have all the
confidence and no money My observation
has been that II the confidence man comes
into a community the man who has the
least confidence has the most money when
the fellow goes out.
You say L am hungry They say I
have got a remedy; just nave confidence
and II you have not had full meal you
will be just good as if you had.
You say you can't get work. They say
Just have confidence that you will have
work and ii will be all right
You say We cannot find market for
our shoes Just have confidence the peo-
pie will buy and they Will buy
There Is only one place where they think
the confidence game won't work. You go
10 one of these men who is all the time
talking about confidence and ask him to
borrow money. He says: What security
nave you? You say: I will give you all
the confidence you want He will tell you
he is not loanng on confidence this year.
Why Is 1t these financiers are anxious
TOR you to have confidence in them when
they don't have any confidence in you?
They want security. and tell you to get a
good name on your note or put up some
thing that Is salable''
The Injunction Plank.
Tho trouble Is. things that used TO be
usable are not 50 any more. Security tina:
used to be good is not good security any
more They are driving down the value OF
your security by driving up the value OF
money. There Is only one way 10 restore
confidence and that is to give confidence q
basis to rest upon. "a voice: Talk about
