| city. half-minute stop was made at
| Bristol, Pa, and the candidate waved his
| hand from the car platform to small but

and wish to realize what they can for their
property. Applause) Scarce money makes
dear money, and a dear dollar IS bad

makes it more difficult for a laboring man
to get hold of a dollar. When money rises

waiting at the depot and when the train
bearing the Bryan party rolled into the sta
ton they cheered enthusiastically. Mr.
BRYAN spoke to them from the rear of the
car At Manunka Chunk there was a stop
of ten minutes in order to make the train
for Washington. N. j. A few hundred peo-
pie were at the depot and Mr.. Bryan utilized
the time thereby speaking to them.
AT THE PIANO TOWN.
At Washington, N. J.. the home Of ex-
Congressman Cornish, who was in the
party, a stop Of nearly an hour was made.
Mr.. Bryan spoke from a stand erected in
the center of the town. He said:
Our opponents tell us to open the mills.
What is the use of opening the mills UNI
less people can buy what the mills pro-
buf yo 1o DOM MAKE make them nif TO paY ON in
the factories. You make them for people
to play on in their homes. How can peo-
pie buy pianos and organs unless they can
sell their farm products for more than
enough to pay taxes and interest on their
debts? (Applause) You can open all the
enough money in the farmers pockets to
BUY BUY products you might as Wen close your

cannot destroy the prosperity of those en-
prosper If you want prosperity in this
country you have got to begin at the bot
tom ana let prosperity work up. prosperity
never came down to the people from the
money changers of any country on the face
of the earth. (Applause.)
Have your taxes fallen in the last twen-
ty years? "a voice No, they are higher.')
As a rule they higher. If the price
of your products is cut in two you must
work twice as hard to pay the same
amount of taxes you used to. The gold
standard means half time in the factories
and double time the farms to make the
same amount of money. 1t means half
time in the factories because there is not
work enough for the people to be employed
full time, and it means double time on the
farms to make a living. Make times a lit
tie harder and. instead of working three
days out of the week. you will be glad to
work two. Maf1 them a little harder and
instead of working two days. you will be
fortunate IL you get one. Make times a
