talking for the gold standard, talk
about sound money, you find men who

what they don't think themselves. Gap
plause and laughter) We are willing
10 meet any open enemy; we are willing
to present our cause and trust to the
conscience and the Judgment of the
people. CA voice: That's a lie!O And
/ want you, my friends, to consider,
Voices, Put him outi'' and hisses)
Be quiet, be quiet My friends, If you
want to be friendly to me l wish you
would keep still and not interrupt this
meeting, and let the gentleman ask his
question. "a voice: That's right"
and applause)
A Voice-Mr. Bryan. l want you to ex-
plain, before the meeting is over. how we
are going to get silver from the silver people
any easier than We get gold from the gold
people.
Mr. Mr.: B Ts sir. | will
have you explain further.
How They'll Get silver.
Mr.. Bryan-Is that all the difficulty
that my friend has? or, have you some
other that l can explain at the same
time? daughter and applause) My
friends. the gentleman has asked a
very simple question, and / am glad
that it is asked, because it will show
you what tiny things can be stumbling
blocks for those who don't want to
step over them. (Applause) The gen.
tleman wants to know how we are
going to get money from the silver
kings. 1 want him to remember this,
that he has two arguments if he repre-
sents the gold standard idea, which
would like to have him reconcile when
he has time. They tell us that the sill
Yer kings will convert what is now
worth fifty cents into one hundred
cents and make the difference. That is
one of the troubles, isn't it? Yes sir.
And then when he has done that it
will be a fifty-cent dollar-that is an
other difficulty, isn't 1t? daughter and
applause, and a voice, He's a news
paper man-he's all rightvO Now,
when you have time to think about it,
/ want you to try to figure out how
that can be a hundred-cent dollar long
enough for the miner to make fifty
cents on 1t and then become a fifty
cent dollar for all the rest Of the peO-
pie. daughter and applause.) The only
way in which the miner can make that
profit is by converting a piece of silver,
now worth fifty cents, into one dollar
which will be worth 100 cents. If, when
he gets through, he has only converted
q flfty-cent piece of silver into fifty
cent dollar, he has not made anything
by the operation. (Applause)
Now, I believe that the free coinage
of silver will enable man who holds
a piece of silver, now worth fifty cents,
Tor fifty-three cents to convert it into
a dollar which will be worth 100 cents,
and I believe that the man who now
has silver will make that profit under
the free coinage law, but after the free
coinage law is passed, no man can go
out and buy a piece Of silver for less
than 100 cents and have it coined into
one dollar Great applause and 'Hur-
rah for Bryan, he's all right!O But
remember, remember, my friends, that
man can't talk about fifty-cent dol
lars and miners profits at the same
time daughter and applause.) He
has got to choose one or the other be-
cause If you are going to have fifty
cent dollars then the miner doesn't
make any more on his silver than he
does now and If you are going to have
hundred-cent dollars so that he makes
fifty cents on what he is now getting
fifty cents, then we haven't any fifty
cent dollars. Applause and voice,
You're all right Bryan.0
Now let me come to the first question
that my friend asked, How are you
going to get hold of them? That is a
very common question, l have had 1t
asked before. "a voice, "Yes.'0 How
can you get this money into circula-
ticS? To my mind 1t is q very absurd
one because l never had any trouble
getting Ny money into circulation,
daughter and applause) my trouble
has been to keep my money from get
ting into circulation before l wanted 1t
to. CRenewed laughter) Let me show
you how this gets into circulation. If
a man works a week and gets his
wages he puts that money into circu
lafion whenever he buys anything; If
he works on farm for year and
raises a crop and sells 1t, he puts that
money into circulation whenever he
buys something with it, Under the
free coinage of gold a man goes down
and produces gold, takes it to the mint,
has it coined into money, the money Is
handed back to him and whenever he
spends 1t he puts it into circulation.
Under the free coinage OF silver a man
goes out and mines silver, has it coined,
the dollars are his, and the moment he
spends them, he puts them into circu-
lation, and when these dollars are put
into circulation they are part Of the
money of the country, to be used in
exchange for all the property of the
country. applause and cries of Good,
gOodrO
Must Be Money to Get 1t.
But, you say, How is 1t going to be
any easier to get that money than it
Is now 1t IS easier to get money
from people who have money than it
is to get money from people who
haven't any. Great laughter and APP
plause) If you have property to sell
and nobody has money to buy with,
you don't get any price for your prop
erty, II you have property to sell and
other people have money to buy it
with, you get something for your prop
erty when you sell It, ("That's rightly

is going to help u.s. The man who asks
that question is always glad to see
money come in from abroad I ask
him, how is this money that comes in
from abroad to be of any benefit to
us? why, he will say the man who
sends in money from abroad sends If
IN to buy something WITH The man
who says we have enough money in
this country now can't consistently be
glad when money comes from abroad
because If we have enough now we
would have too much if any more came
