Bryan on silver Union.

GoLDsBoRo, N. c., Sept. 19.-This
morning Mr.. Bryan spoke to hundreds
of people here, opening as follows:
I'm this campaign those who believe
in the free coinage of silver have
Joined together, regardless of differ
ences OF opinion upon other subjects
Democrats who believe in tariff reform
and Republicans who believe IN pro-
lection are able to unite when both
recognize that the money question is
superior to the tariff question. A
Populist leader in this state well ex-
pressed the idea when he said that
while he believed in Populist doc
trines, yet he was willing to lay some
of them aside until he could get
Others. For instance, he said that
while he believed in the government
ownership of railroads he did not
van the government to OWE the rail-
roads as long as the Rothschilds
owned the government. 1t is this
willingness to lay aside minor differ
-ences in hours of danger that charac-
terizes u people and gives the surest
proof that they are able to rise to the
requirements of any emergency.
Sometimes they accuse US of rails
ing a sectional issue. One of the best
evidences that the platform adopted
at Chicago does not raise a sectional
issue is found in the language of the
platform adopted yesterday in New
York. Let me read it to you. After
'unreservedly indorsing the platform
and the candidates of the Chicago
convention, the New York platform
declares as its deliberate Judgment
that never in the history of the Dem
'ocratic party has a platform been writ
ten which embodies more completely
the interests Of the whole people as dis
tinguished from those who seek legis-
lation for private benefits than that
given tc the country by the National
Democratic convention of 1896. There
within the shadow of Wall street,
against the combined opposition of
those once leading Democrats of New
York who have left the Democratic
party and either gone over entirely to
the Republicans or stopped for a
moment at a half way house, the Dem
eocracy of New York declares the plat
form adopted at Chicago is the most
Democratic platform ever put before
the country by a Democratic conven-
ton. In the state of Connecticut
they have also Endorsed our platform,
and likewise in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. In other Eastern states
the Democracy is beginning to realize
that the Chicago platform presents to
the American people those great is
sue around which the people must
cluster if they are going to retain a
government of, by and for the people.
THE three parties which have
Joined in my nomination agree that
while there are other issues before
the American people aside from the
money question. yet the money ques-
tion rises paramount to them all and
must be settled first. Other ques-
tons can wait, the money question
cannot. It has been forced upon pub
lie attention. 1t has been brought
before the people and re have to de-
eide whether we shall continue the
present financial system whel Elm a
few men have undertaken to run the
government or shall put the financial
policy of the American people in the
hands of the American people to be
framed by them and form them now.
