DEAFNESS OF THE DOLLAR.
Continued from First Page)

wealth and the many are simply depend
ent tenants. Our opponents try to divide
the toiling masses and set the laboring
men in opposition to the farmer. / warn
laborers not to desert the farmers, who
have been the friends of labor in every
struggle to better their condition. The
very people who to-day are attempting to
use laboring men to defeat the farmer
in their just cause are the same people
who have oppressed labor from the be-
ginning of the world and will do so again
the moment they have the opportunity.
(CheersD We have lost a few democrats
by desertion, but the number is growing
less each day. because the democrats who
have not entirely agreed with us find If
they leave the democratic party in its
great struggle with plutocracy, they
leave it to make a permanent home with
those whom democracy has always fought
since 1t became a party. (Applause.) They
realize they cannot afford to separate
themselves from those with whom their
interests and sympathies lie" (Cheers)
Another large audience was at Lexing-
ton, where Mr.. Bryan said: In this cam
paign, where our enemies are united
against us, our friends are also united, and
with the help of the democratic party,
which adopted a platform at Chicago
which is pervaded with a spirit of Amer
lean independence. and to those forces
forces represented by the populist party
and by the free silver republicans of the
United States. Against this double party
opposed to us, we present the triple alli-
ance those who believe in the money of
the constitution. The issue presented now
is clean-cut issue No man who believes
in an American system of finance for an
American people can by his vote assist
IN sending man to congress who goes
there to support the republican policy on
the money question" (Cheers).
In company with Gov. Carr, ex-senator
Jarvis, Col. Julian Carr of Durham, Mai.
Hale of Fayetteville and other prominent
North Carolinians, Mr.. Bryan reached
Greensboro on his special train via the
southern railway at 12;45 o'clock this af-
ternoon. A great crowd al the station, in
GLIDING hundreds of excursionists from
near by points, shouted vigorously as Mr..
Bryan stepped to the station pla torn, and
as he was driving through the dusty main
thoroughfare of the quaint old town, sew
eral thousand people yelling loudly fol-
lowed his carriage, conspicuous by it's red,
white and blue decorations and four horses
that drew it to the Benbow house, where
the candidate and his party had dinner.
After dinner Mr.. Bryan was taken to
Blandwood a residence on the outskirts
of town, where he delivered a speech, af-
ter being introduced by Clement Manly,
|
tee. His audience numbered about $1,000
and was one of the most enthusiastic
gatherings Mr.. Bryan has addressed in
the campaign. Mr.. Bryan left Greensboro
for Durham and Raleigh at 8 o'clock
Mr.. Bryan said: Il have talked until my
| throat is sore, and shaken hands until my
| hands are sore and you yell until my ears
are sore. Qaughter). And the campaign,
instead of being ended, has only fairly
commenced. Cheers. Sometimes the OPP
| position papers say people gather together
| from idle curiosity. A man has to have
more than idle curiosity to stand out in the
| sun in such a crowd as this to listen to
| speech. 1 was here two years ago, and
! had a chance to see a great many of you,
| so it was not necessary for one to come
| for the purpose of seeing me. But l am
| glad to speak to you about the paramount
| issues of the campaign. The democratic
| party has taken a position which is also
! the position of the populists and the free
! silver republicans against the is
| sue of bonds in time of peace and
against the trafficking with syndicates,
which save the nation at so much per
save from the extremeties IN which they
| themselves have placed the government
| for the purpose of saving it again at a
! higher price. Oaughter) Our opponents
| go upon the theory that these syndicates
| are able to bleed the people without the
| people knowing it. At least they think
| before the people find it out the syndi-
| oates will have made so much that they
won't care to make any more. 1t re-
minds me of a man down in the swamp
country who was troubled with moscui-
toes, but one of his friends said mosqul-
toes never troubled him. because at night
he was so drunk he did not know the
mosquitoes were biting, and by
morning the mosquitoes were
so drunk they did not bite
! ,trI,f ntt~ &c
seem to reason on that plan. Instead of
stating a policy which they believe to be
good for the American people they con-
tent themselves with taking a step at a
time and furnishing a temporary remedy
for a disease which they themselves have
brought on the public. 1 am reminded of
story told of a doctor. | don't want
any doctor here to take offense because it
was not a doctor in this town. The doc
tor was called to visit a child and the
child grew worse until finally its life was
despaired of. The doctor told the mother
nothing more could be done; that it was
not worth while to punish the child with
more medicine; just give 1t a little water
if 1t was restless and await the Anal re-
suit. The mother watched the child
through the night and thought 1t was a
little stronger in the morning. She watch
ed it through the day and instead Of fall
ing IL grew better She watched il
morning had more hope than the night
before The doctor came around to find
out why the child had not died. The
mother explained the situation. The doc
tor examined the child and told the mother
is was a fact the child was getting strong
err than when he saw it last, and if it
continued to improve as 1t had been, it
would soon be able to take some more
medicine. Great laughter) Our oppon-
ents have been giving us bond issues just
about as fast as they thought the people
were able TO stand them. After we had
one bond issue, and the people complain
ed they would wait awhile until they
thought the patient was able to stand
another bond issue. Q.aughter) We
want to get rid of these doctors and Try
medicine that will restore the patient and
not wait until the patient is strong IN
order to weaken him with more medicine
(Cheers.)
Mr. Bryan then repeated what he had
said heretofore in denunciation of the bond
syndicate contract and added "They tell
us it is necessary to make these contracts
l deny it. If our treasury department
were run in the interest of all the neo-
