CHICAGO, Sept. MIR. Bryan ic,t at
$40 o'clock this morning for Milwau
kee, where he was to make two
speeches to-day. With him were T..
{. Wall, +. w. Won ~Cothausen, julius
Schuendel and I. J. Somcrs.
AT kenosha a thousand people were
waiting. To them MIR. BRYAN spoke
as follows: Ladies and gentlemen:
1t is natural in a country like this.
where ali the power emanates from
the people and where officers are
chosen by the people, they should feel
an interest in public affairs and ann.
paigns through which they pass.
When the time comes when the great
question forces itself to the front the
interest is decpencd, and we have
reached such a time. Often ii is n mat
ter OF comparatively little impor,-
ance whether an issue before the peo-
ple IS settled this year or next. or a
few years IN the future: but there are
times when great results depend on a
campaign, II we have reached such
a time. The money question has been
forced upon the attention of the peo.
pie by those who are not salts
flied with The gradual appre-
ciation OF the dollar, but have sought
to hasten it's rise. II certainly has
been too rapid for the welfare OF
the people, but those who were the
bencfciaries OF the appreciation OF the
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
cd to hasten it's rise by action still
more hostile to the white metal. They
have not been content to let the peo-
pie have an increased value OF money,
but have secured the repeal Of the
Sherman law and put nothing in its
place and then begun to issue bonds
because hard times had made IL I'M
possible to invest money in enter
prises. Property has fallen and when
property is falling people do not a
to Invest In property. They want to
invest in money and then when money
was idle and they could not find profit.
able in vestnents in enterI rises some
wanted TO draw q good interest on
such Investments. In my judgment
those who want a safe investment
and wanted government bonds issued
were to a large extent responsible for
the result. In our platform we have
declared against the issue Of bonds in
times Of peace. When you come to
consider these questions, the interests
of the people who must pay taxes
which pay the bonds should be con-
sidered rather than the people who
desire TO profit by taxation wrung
from n people already overburdened.
We knew when we put the clause in
our platform against tho issue OF
bonds we would lose the bondholders,
but we want the people who pay the
taxes
THE ANARCHIST CHARGE.
A conservative estimate of the
crowd at Racine to meet Mr.. Bryan
would be 800 people and it seemed
IL each one was trying to Guido all
others in cheering. Captain W. Is.
Vance OF Racine introduced Mr..
Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentle
men: When | see a large number of
people like this who seem to be inter-
cstcd in the success Of the campaign
upon which we ha started. | some
times wonder whether it Is possible
that you people are deserving OF the
names that are applied to you. II am
an Anarchist. then all who want me
elected must DO Anarchists also. When
/ look into your faces wonder
whether you are all enemies OF the
government or enemies of those who
want to uso the government as u pri-
vate snap. There is a great difference
between being against the govern.
ment and against those who misuse
tho government. Andrew jackson said
there were no necessary evils iD gov.
eminent; that its evils grew out Of
It's abuse. Some people do not
draw any lines between government
and the abuse OF government. and
whenever people speak out against
on abuse of government those who
are making money out OF the abuse
generally find fault with the people
who complain and try 70 put them in
the attitude OF opponents OF govern
ment. want to assure you the most
loyal supporters OF government are
not found In great trusts which think
they are greater than the government
and control II. They are found among
the masses who want to secure love
BY making II so good IL will deserve
their love. Remsmber you cannot
reform evil by talking, you have got
TO reform II by voting. People may
complain as much as they like
about q bad law, but the way
to get rid of 1t is to repeal it aud the
way to repeal II Is 10 vote for those
who believe in repeating the laws tina,
are bad and not those who want 70
make moro bad laws and keep all the
bad laws already in existence. II the
people Of this country would ell rec
ognize the power Of tho ballot and
use that power as they should, there
would be less complaint against injus
tico. II our laws are bad, remember
the people who permit the laws to re-
main bad are to blame. II our laws
arc 10 DO good, those who want then
good have got to make them good.
