Appleton, Wis, Oct 30.-The towns
visited by Bryan In the Badger state
this morning were literally bedecked
with ye.low. Not since he left the
Ohio river valley has he encountered
crowds so antagonlstic to his views.
his hearers, but the majority at the
first few stops did not hesitate to show
their preference for the yellow metal.
At Green Bay at $40 O'Clock Bryan
addressed several thousand people.
There was not much enthusiasm at the
start, but before he had concluded his
speech his audience was applauding
him literally. He spoke from plat
form In Whitney park. Ex-Governor
Peck introducing him. Among other
things he said:
This city, l believe. was the home
Of Senator Howe. His language In re-
gard to the single gold standard ought
to call the attention of the people OF
this neighborhood to that subject so
they will inyestlgate- e--fansk2ekassi
But / remember Senator Howe Tor
one reason. II I am not mistaken 1t
was Senator Howe who was one OF the
principal advocates Of the income tax
the seventies. If you will read what
he says about the justice Of the In
come tax you will then understand
why we believe the income tax Is still
proper in this country, and, my
friends, while ] am on this subject IL
anybody tells you We have not treated
the supreme court as gently as we
ought / want you to find out who the
man Is who criticises what We say.
You will find the people best satisfied
with the income tax decision are the
people with the large incomes. who
are shirking their duties to the gov
ernment, trying to secure Its protection
without paying their share of the tax.
Applause). You will find the men
who are so anxious that nothing shall
be said against the income tax decis-
ion are the men who attack every
court and every decision that Is
against them and never show respect
for the law or authority or anything
else unless II Is Of advantage for them
to do so. (Cheers).
I'VE declare. my friends. against
contracts payable in particular Kind
of money. We are In favor or legis-
lation which for the future VIII pre-
vent making special contracts, and our
reason for 1t Is this: That money Is a
thing necessary in our society. and II
we have two kinds of money II Is de-
slrable they should float together. IL
contracts are made payable in par
ticular kinds of money and IL you
have enough of those special contracts
you create an extra demand for one
kind of money and you drive 1t to
premium and destroy the parity be-
tween your moneys. 1 do not believe

ment and attempt to destroy the gov
ernment's financial policy"
At Depere and Kaukauna, where
many yellow ribbons were displayed,
Bryan's speeches were along the same
line as given by him elsewhere.
Kaukauna turned out a good-sized
crowd who listened to Bryan for ten
minutes. He said: Yesterday even
ing's papers announced that there had
been a furry in wall street and that
money loaning on call was as high as
100 per cent. What a harvest these
people VINO have money and who can
make hundred per cent. get out Of
this little embarrassment, How long
do you suppose you will have TO wait
before these people can charge a high
rate Of interest? How long do you
think you will have to walt before

have money enough in this country to
do business with? You might just as
will expect a fox to stand guard over
a chicken house as to expect them TO
do It,"
Appleton was the next stop and the
crown was a repetition Of those al
ready encountered. The speech OF
Bryan was devoted TO a discussion OF
the statement that free silver Will
make a 55-cent dollar. A stop OF is
minutes was made at Menasha station.
where Bryan spoke from the rear plat
form Of the train. He and his wife re-
ceived great applause. At Oshkosh
there was a crowd OF many thousands
and yellow ribbons were displayed lib
orally. Bryan spoke from the rear
platform and again alluded TO the high
rate of interest quoted in New York
yesterday.
