]. Bryan evidently will make the las
week Of the campaign one Of hard work
and in all probability a record-breaker
Shortly after o'clock this morning he
was talking 10 the people of Lincoln
I'LL, and at 9 O'Clock the people of Bloom
Jngton were listening TO the triple NOM
nee.
At Lincoln there was a good-siZed
crowd down at the depot before break.
fast, in fact, many were there all night,
for when the special car was sidetrack-
ed, shortly after o'clock this morning,
D crowd Of ardent admirers of the nomi-
zee showed their affection for him by dis
.uribing his rest and demanding a speech
at that early hour. When he arrived IN
Lincoln the crowd surrounded the car
and loudly demanded his appearance, all
Of which was very comforting, not only
TO Mr.. Bryan. but to the other members
Of the party. When Br Bryan began
to speak there was a crowd of several
thousand gathered about the platform
IN the public square In Lincoln and near
iy every member of the crowd wore a
Bryan badge. Mr. Bryan's talk was IN
the main a reference to the statement
that panic would follow the enactment
Of the law boxing toward the free coin
age OF silver. His speech was literally
applauded and he was in touch with the
crowd which heard him He said, in
part:
SAYS: YOU'RE ANOTHER"
zone week from today the American
people are 10 decide upon the financial
policy of this nation for at least four
years, and possibly for a longer time.
When our opponents have failed in
everything else they commence 10 make
gloomy predictions Of what will happen
If We have the free coinage of silver.
You know whenever We have complain
ed OF existing conditions they have call
ed US calamity hoWlers, but my friends,
the worst OF those who have complained
Of conditions as they a,'e, Were speaking
wards OF praise compared with the Ian
guage used by our opponents when they
begin to tell what is going TO happen 81
the free coinage OF silver comes, and one
Of the most frequent of the prophecies
which they make is that a panic will
come from the moment we have the free
coinage OF silver, that all the people who
have money Will lock it up, and all the
people who have mortgages will fore
close their mortgages. and that there is
going to be a period Of ruin here, and
their language fails TO express their idea
Of the subject.
OF COURSE THEY DO.
''They simply stand aghast at the pic
ture. 1 want to show You that the free
coinage Of silver, instead OF bringing a
panic. will stop the panic that the peo-
pie have been suffering from for years.
We are IN the midst Of a panic now and
we have been IN the midst OF a panic.
business failures have been increasing
and hard times have become harder.
That is what a panic means, and we are
Ia the midst OF a panic now, and there is
no way out OF the panic until we stop
falling prices, and there is no way to
stop falling prices until we increase the
volume Of money which measures prices.
Now, there is one safe principal to go
on, WREN you are discussing what is
going TO happen, and that principal is
that people are not going to do anything
that is injurious to them if they know
1t.
COUNTS ON SELFJSHNESs.
you can count on selfish interest al
ways and when you tell me that men
will hoard money under free coinage, I
4 Ill. T
hoard money. because people never
hoard money when money Is falling in
value. They do not hoard wheat when |
wheat is going down. You will find that |
when the price begins to fall they begin |
10 get rid of the thing falling in price,
and under free coinage there will be a |
larger amount of money brought into
circulation, and people understand that
that means the purchasing power of the |
dollar will fall, and when that COM
mences the man who owns the dollar
VIII be trying to get rid of the dollar |
and get hold of something which is ris- |
ing in its purchasing power.
