The Irish standard., 1896-10-17


he spoke in Exposition hall to 1900
people, while as many more fingered OF
the outside to be addressed in the opel
air later. From there he went to thu
Lyceum theater which was filled to owe
flowing with ladies and ladies only, ant
ito them he delivered an address which
was enthusiastically received, and list
ened to with marked attention, when thu
cheers subsidized. Finally he reached YALE
Place little before II o'clock, where
some 10000 people awaited him, and hat
been waiting him for hours. There were
congregated there almost as many wo.
men as men, and although Bryan's
speech was short and his voice was
hoarse he pleased his hearers by his
earnestness and eloquence to such an ex-
tent that not whisper was uttered In
opposition or criticism, the only sound
being heard was the frequent cheering
at the REPEATED points he made. Follow
ing are the addresses delivered at the
various places mentioned:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before entering upon a discussion Of any
question, desire to express my apprecia-
tion Of the kindly feeling which has
prompted the gift which has been pre-
sented In your presence, and my; friends,
appreciate it all the more because of the
source from which it comes. App.ause.)
When was down in st. Louis the horse
shoers presented me with a silver horse
shoe which / promised to hang above one
Of the doors of the White House it was
eected Great applause and cries of ''You
will hang it there all rightly
Over in St. Paul the laboring men pre-
sented me with gold pen with silver
holder, with the instruction that was to
use it in signing the free coinage bill which
will come to me if am elected. Great
applause) And now tonight the laboring
men of this city have been thoughtful
enough to provide me with a beautiful
inkstand, which is also part of the ne
cessary outfit. (Applause.) Now that have
recently received a penho.der and an ink
stand, and now that have had for many
years axwillingRess to use them fore-the
purpose designated, all need IS the ink to
do the work.
NV friends, as I remarked in st. Paul,
/ would not favor; the free coinage of sill
W.. did not believe that it would be for
the best interests of those who toll n this
country. (App.ause.) have moi. belonged to
that class known distinctiveiy as working
men, because my profession has been that
of lawyer, but have been taught to be-
lieve that the legal profession must have
something to rest on as foundation.
Lawyers do not produce wealth. Unless
there IS wealth produced lawyer will suf-
fer, and have been brought up to believe
that all the classes which rest upon the pro-
ducers OF wealth can only prosper when the
producers of wealth are prosperous ZAP
p.ause.) And therefore am. not entirely
unselfish when desire such legislation ais
will enable them to have more. than enough
to eat and drink. / want them to have
enough to be comforta BILE, because until
they produce there is nothing to distribute
and il they simply produce without en-
Toying, you discourage the production of
wealth so they will cease to produce. Great
app.auseJ
S say therefore desire to thank the Ia
boring men for this token Of. their sup
port, of confidence, and want to say also
before proceeding further, appreciate the
honor that has been paid me tonight by
these veterans Of the war who have
marched as body guard. Great applause
Il would not receive the support of those
soldiers if I thought that their interests
could not be trusted in those who believe in
an American financial policy, and / be-
.lieve that the interests of those who fought
thirty years ago that this nation might be
one, / believe that their interests will be
safe In the hands of those ,who are fight
Ing today that great battle to determine
whether this great nation. being one, Is
big enough to attend to its own business.
(Great applause.)
