democrats of Chicago
"Our oppOncnts have sometimes tried
TO make it appear that when w" de-
nounce the financial policy advocated ny
the Rothschlds that we are attacklng
a race We are not. my friends. we
are rs much opposed to the hhahclal pol-
lev of ]. picrpOnt Morgan rs we are to
thc financial policy of the RothSchlds.
We are not attacking n race. We are
attacking greed and ayarice, which
knows no race or religion.
my friends, the Bible teaches us that
when the children of Israel were III
bondage and asked for n little tightening
of their burdens. the pharOah Of their
time said: They are idle; make them
work harder and they wont complain.
phuroah has been the same in all days.
No matter t. what race he belongs, no
matter in what age he lives, Ihalonh
lives on The labor of others ana l'hal Dan
has always wanted to stamp out com
plants by making the load heavier;
Whenever we have great contest and
whenever right is arraycd against might.
thr example of David and Goliath is
always cited to give inspiration to those
who fight for truth. David conquered
because he was strong. lie conquered
because of his might. He conqueled
because he was on the side of truth ana
if in this contest our Hebrew friends
will likcp themselves to David. let me
say to them that David conquered be
cause he was on the right. so my only
hope of victory is because | am On the
right side. (Applausc) My friends, |

Some of the crowd shouted for Mr.;

net see him. Finally he mounted II
chair on the platform, which was the
signal for another outburSt FINALLY
Mr. Bryan proceeded rs follows
"Now. let me finish that sentence. n

voter and not to the head of hrm OF
