been received by the people for labor and products. They were absolutely worthless. Upon whom did this loss fall? It fell upon the laborlng men and the farmers. Those who suffer most from poor money are the least able to bear the loss. I canont imagine any interest that can be permanently sub served by having poor money. We cannot restore confidence and prosper ity, not through a debased currency, but through a policy that'will restore the wasted revenues to the public treas ury and rekindle the fires in American workshops.

them. They say that we are trying to destroy our institutions. We repel these imputations. We entertain no sentiments diverse to social order; we seek not to destroy, but to preserve in their purity the institutions of our country"
 MT. Bryan quoted the language of Samuel J. Tilden concerning the com bination of politicians and moneyed in terests to control the elections and change the administration and said:
 That the same moneyed power ex- ists to-day and it is doing this same work to-day that it did in the days of Tilden and business men are terrified. Men who own money are threatened with bankruptcy unless they sell their consciences, This government by the few, this government by assorted wealth, this government by corpora tions is the most tyranical government that any people ever suffered under. (Applause,)
 MT, Bryan then proceeded to set forth his well known views on the financial question, He attacked the gold standard, advocated the free coin- age of silver and denounced the bond sales. He, remarked that our treasury officials instead of being in sympathy with the mass of the people had been in sympathy with the syndicates and the financiers. When MT Bryan con- cluded he was cheered loudly. He pre- sented Senator Blackburn, who also spoke. Mir Bryan was given an enthu- siastic reception at the rink, where his speech was mainly repetition of that at the academy. Shortly before mid night he went to a hotel here, where he 1 spends the night.

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
MR.. CARLISLE CALLS FOR
$1oO,OOo,OoO.
The Bonds VIII BE Thirty Year Per
Cents, in Denominations of $50 and
Multiples Observation-Disclosures Must
Il Pay Gold in Order to Get Them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle last night made
public his circular for bond issue
The loan will be a popular" one,
and the circular, which is dated Jan
uary 6, gives notice that the govern
ment will sell S1OC, 600, 900 thirty year,
4per cent coupon or registered bonds,
dated February l, 1895, for which pur-
chasers will be required to pay in gold
coin or gold certificates
This is the first issue by the present
administration of such large amount
of bonds at one time, all the previous
issues having been for $50, 10000
each. The circular also contains an
intimation of a possible further issue
of bends should the issue or sale of adj
ditional or different form of bond for
the maintenance of the gold reserve
be authorized by law before February
5. The fact that the bonds will be
issued in sums of $50, and multiples
thereof, and be payable in INSTALL
ments, is feature which it is believed
will make them be regarded with pop
ular favor
The main reason for dating the
bonds year back is said to be in order
to give the public better opportu-
nifty to judge their market value by
comparing them with the gold As
issued at that time, so that their bids
can be made to conform with the mar
ket value of those bonds on the lst of
February.
