such cases, the awards are maae to Tho

81 cay to you now that my ciec-
ton means that this nation shall
open its mints to the free coinage
of both metals at the earliest pos
sible moment. But not only that,
my election means that this nation
shall treat the silver dollar just IS
1t treats the gold dollar, and we
shall not issue bonds to buy gold
III order TO furnish an opportunity
for those who want bonds to draw
upon the gold and increase the
debts Of the government. II We
had taken q milder course, il we
Lad adopted q platform which was
meaningless and was capable Of
double constructions, we might
have possibly the support Of those
who do not agree with US in this
position but my friends when we
took . stand for those policies
which we believe we're the best for
the American people, we arrayed
against US the great in flucnces
which surroundlwealth, land especi-
ally corporate wealth. 1t is not
strange that the heads Of all trusts
in the country are opposed to the
Chicago ticket, it il opposed to
all the trusts of the country. It is
not strange to say that the money
changers are opposed TO the CHI
cage ticket, because the ticket is
opposed to the mohcy changers
policy. 1t is not strange that the
syndicates which grow fat while the
people grow lean are opposed to
the Chicago ticket, because the
success Of the Chicago ticket means
that those syndicates shall cease to
fatten on the adversities cf the
people. l believe, my friends, that
the time has come when we must
restore to the people the right Of
free government, aud we must re-
store the COVER 1ment TO the old
policy whereby it gives special
privileges to no One.-Wm. j.
Bryan, the Democratic candidate
for President.

But whether We win now or not,
we have begun . warfare against
the gold standard which shall con-
tinue until the gold standard is
driven from our shores back to

Gold monometallism is British policy,
and Its adoption has brought other ma

It Ii not only un-American. but
anti American, and it can be fastened
ON the Uuited states only by the sitting
Of that spirit and love of liberty, which
proclaimed our political independence
in l776 aud won it In the war Of
the Revolution.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage OF both gold and silver It the
present legal ratio of Is to l, without
waiting for the aid or consent Of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be . full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public and private, and we favor
such legislation as will prevent for the
future demonetixation Of any kind of
