HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Get. Ohio,
Kentuck and West Virginia contribut-
ed to the throng that heard William j.
Bryan speak here this afternoon.
Excursion trains were run from a
number OF places. Mountaineers came
in on he. eback and afoot. People were
landed from the river steamers. and
altogether MI Bryan had as Fiotur-
esque an audience. as he has ever ad-
dressed. His hearers numbered ac-
cording to various estimates, between
10000 and $4,000 The national nomi-
nee made short address in which he
said:
You talk 10 Republicans about the
gold standard and they will tel you
they are as good friends OF the gold
standard as anybody, and yet when
they come to get out their badges, when
they come to print the name of their
cana1daIe on paper, they, by some
grange circumstance, select yellow pa
Per TO print it on. CHEERS and lapgh-
Tef) Another thing, you cannot md
any clubs among the Republicans which
are called gold standard clubs. What
do yol frd? Sound money clubs.
(Cheers1) Now, why do they use sound
money instead Of 'gold2 Because chey
DARE NOT TELL THE PEOPLE
what they mean by the term. They
are using tnes'e words to deceive. My
friends, everybody wants sound money,
bu- the question is what is sound
money! i viii tell YOU what / under
sland sound money TO be. sound
money is furnished in sufficient guam
Tides to form a safe basis for the Dpsi-
ness OF the country. (ALplaus'e.) There
is something necessary besides quatrty
n money. Money may be good, sple2-
do, but there may be none Of It. Gap
plauscD II is OF money. as it is OF 1ood
you have get TO combine qualify a.
quantity. You must combine quantity
and quality. The gold standard IS Of
no good un4ess you can find enough gold
TO furnish The standard money Ihey
cannot furnish il. All over the world
today, nations are scramb!ing 10 set
ali the gold there is.
When they talk about The invisible
supply OF gold, they talk about the
supply which cannot be seen because
invisible means not seen, and L VIII
tell you THAI
THIS INVISIBLE SUPPLY OF GOLD
IS getting to be more ard more invis-
iSle every Gay. (Applause.t Now, my
friends, there are two reasons which
may explain ire fact that our cppo-
hents don't propose financial system
TO The American people. In the f1st
place they may know what IS bes-.
Will they admit that their failure to tel
you what ought TO be done is due 70 ig-
norance? If so, how can they ask you
20 trust those who don't know what
The party does not today? daughter
and appl2uSe.) If our opponents don't
know what kind of q. system is good for
us, then if we follow them i VIII be
the blind leading the blind. (Applaus'a.)
And you know what the Bible says
about the incident where the blind led
the blind Applause) They both fell
into the ditch. If, on the other hand,
cur opponents say they know what
ought to be done, chen we ask why they
don't tell the people what they know?
CApplause1 Our opponents can only
excuse themselves on cre of two
.grounCls-their failure TO elaborate a
financial system must be due to ignor-
ance. or il must be due to an unwil-
lfngness to let the people know what
their plans are before they vote.
(Great cheerlDg.)
Mr. Bryan spoke OF bankers who
grew rich on the interest OF deposits
and added:
And yet these men who act in The
capacity of trustees are so insolent
that they
ARE NOW CONTRIBUTING
TO Republican campaign funds the
money that the people have deposited
with them for security. (Cheers.)
MY friends, if the banks want 10
so into politics let them beware of the
result THAI may follow political bank
ing. If they train 10 be business men
and run their business in business
principles they must not come into the
field OF politics and attempt to run
politics. (Applause.) l realize that
the great corporations, trusts, syndi-
Gates and combinations OF wealth are
against US, but l remember that they
were against Andrew Jackson in the
same fight that we are making today
(Applause.) They were powerful in the
press. they were powerful before the
people. but when the time to vote came
tlre people were greater than the COM
bination. (Applause.) But. my friends,
this campaign will demonstrate whe-
Their the people are to have q govern
ment OF the people, by the people and /
for the people, or whether it Is going |
to be a government Of syndicates, by !
syndicates and for syndicates" CAP /
plause.)
The rest of the speech was devoted /
to an explanation Of the 55-cent dollar. |
and to statements about the impossi- |
bility Of the Mexican dollar in America. |
The cavalcade Of beplumed men who |
escorted Mr.. Bryan to the stand fell in /
line again and went back to the sta |
ton with him. At the station Governor
