QUINCY Qll), Oct. 24.-This has been
a lazy. 'meandering day of campaigning
for William j. Bryan. 1t is true he
has Travelled 300 miles through his ma
tive State and spoke more than a dozen
times, but comparison with his recent
work makes the adjectives used applic-
able. He began at Ottawa in the
morning, made some speeches in the
Spring Valley coal region, shot over to
the Mississippi River at Rock Island.
ana after making wide detour by way
of Monmouth, Macomb and Bushnell,
went back to the Mississippi, conclud-
ing the day at Quincy
Late tonight he left for Jacksonville,
the town where Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
attended school and were married to
remain there until Monday afternoon.
The interview with Bishop Worthing-
ton, which contained some decided ref
erenceS to the free silver agitation and
the education of children of farmers.
was read to Mr.. Bryan to-day, and he
made reply to the Bishops state
ments in his speech at Monmouth this
afternoon.
Mr.. Bryan also took occasion to say
something at La Sale about the crit
icisms passed by Benjamin Harrison
and President ingalls, of the Big Four
in his advice to laboring men concern
ing their rights to vote. With Vice
President Stevenson seated near him
Cli the stand, he spoke at a joint meet
ing held for. the benefit of Rock Island
and its sister town of Moline. Mr.
Bryan made curt reference TO Pres
ident Cleveland and gave in other
speeches indications that the last days
OF the campaign will not be devoid of
interest
Quincy, Rock Island and Moline and
Monmouth furnished the largest audi
ences. That at Monmouth was particu-
larly enthusiastic and showed consid-
cradle warmth.
Several places not on the railroad
schedule of the candidates special
turned out in large assemblages. At
one of these some man in the crowd
shouted questions at Mr. Bryan and
then would not let him answer, and for
minute or two a spirited repartee be-
tween nominee and audience was kept
up. The 5000 people at Bushnell went
fairly craZed over Mr.. Bryan and lit
orally overwhelmed him in his progress
| from stand to train at the conclusion Of
his speech The places whe-a Mr.
Bryan made addresses during the day
are Ottawa. La Sale. Spring Valley
Ladd, Buda, KewaGee, Rock Island
Moline, Alpha, Alexis. Monmouth
Bushnell, Macomb and Quincy.

PEELED by the miner of his labor,
| which would mean the cutting of
their compensation one-half, and the
heavy profit thus to accrue, the speak
er said, accounted for the interest
the operators took in the free COIN
age movement. Under free coinage,
he went on to say, gold coin would
disappear, as poor money always
drove good out of circulation, as the
good could not operate on an equal
ity with the inferior grade. The deb
tor would liquidate by preference in
the deprecated dollar. and the cred
i,or in turn be compelled to use that
which is given him as his means of
exchange. One-third of the pur-
chasing medium, which is gold.
would disappear as the first effect of
free silver enactment, while the next
effect would be to deprive the re-
naming two thirds of silver and
paper OF one-aalf their purchasing
powers. The inevitable consequence
of these two conditions would be the
sharpest contraction OF the currency
ever known, and bankruptcy and ruin
would be widespread. Mr.. Nollmer
went into a discussion of the demone-
tization act of 1878. holding that in
that it had the support of Senators
Stewart and Jones, who now claimed
to have been robbed, it was not so
much of a crime. He maintained
that the per capita OF the circulat
ing medium had increased since
1873. He quoted statistics to Justify
his position, traced the history OF
silver legislation, held that the saw
iugs banks OF American did not rep
resent the money power or Wall
street, but the small! savings Of work
ing people. representing thrift. en-
ergy and frugality and that these
savings would be deprecated one
half bv free silver without redress.
He claimed that free coinage meant
governmental reputation; that debts
contracted on gold basis would
have to be liquidated in a deprecated
currency, credit would be ruined,
confidence destroyed and panic, hard
ship and restitution follow all over
the land. The nation must pay its
honest debt with an honest dollar
backed by the sane standard of
| value in which it was contracted.

sition to exchange 1,0V0 American
dollars for l 900 Mexican dollars one
year after free coinage goes into
effect. He exhibited Mexican dol
lar then and said that it contained
more silver than the American dol

its value. The reason. he declared,
is IMPLY that the Mexican dol ar,
the product of free coinage. has to
