the standards, a battle between the
single gold standard and the double
standard, between the use of gold as
thee only primary money ana the use
Of gold and silver as money OF equal
power in the payment of deDts ana
taxes, and you have your choice be-
tween having a financial system based
upon gold alone, Wlen you can get the
gold, or based upon gold and silver
both as q foundation broad enough
for our commercial fabric to rest upon.
The opposition was out in force at
Ishpeming, when the Bryan party ar
rived there. There was a large crowd
10 listen to the candidate, out II was
not enthusiastic. His speech was APP
plauded but little. There was a big
Republican rally, at which Wash
ington Gardner was to speak.
ANOTHER TUNE-MAYBE.
The Mckinley club OF the city march
ed to the Democratic gathering. Mr..
Bryan had concluded his address and
Timothy Tarsney had been speaking
a fewmoments. when the Republican
clubs band approached Mr.. Ters-
ney. who stood Immediately in front
of Mr.. Bryan, turnedto the nominee
and addressing himself more particu-
larry to him, said: Il am informed
that babnd is at the head of a So-called
Mckinley club. We are very much
obliged to them and the people who
sent them out, for this kindly inter-
ruption, but inside of three weeks that
band will be playing, If still in the
same employment, a very different
tune
Those about the stand applauded
this statement heartily and then Mr..
Bryan was taken toward his car.
NegaUree offset the lack of warmth
displayed at Ishpeming. MIR. Bryan
had time there to get on a platform
in the public square TO thank the peo-
pie for their enthusiastic reception.
He was cheered and applauded until the
train left for Marquette. where it ar
rived shortly before o'clock.
AROUSED TO DANGER.
Marquette, Wis, Oct. 14-Marquette
turned out adj that Marquette could TO
hear the nominee. 1t was the most en-
thusiastic crowd of the day. Mr.. Bry-
an was introduced by Mr.. Russell, edi-
tor OF the Mining Journal, and spoke In
part as follows:
In no campaign since the war have
the people been SO aroused TO a sense of
national danger as they are aroused
this year. Our opponents tell US the
success of our cause would mean great
injury to this country. We reply tFlat
twenty years of experience in their
cause has been of incalcIlabie harm to
our country. They tell us the free
coinage of silver will bring trouble. We
tell them the gold standard has
brought trouble. VS. place the exper-
fence of our people against the prop'ile-
sizes which they make. They tell us the
free coinage of silver may not free us
from dangers. They tell US it may not
be a perfect system. We'll tell them
that we do not have to offer a perfect
system. All We have to DO is to offer
something better than what we have
had and il does not take a very good
system to be better than that we have
mad.
MY friends. IN one sense our cam
paign is a defensive one. In another
sense it is AN aggressive campaign 1t
is defensive in that we are defending
our homes and our firesides from an
enemy as dangerous as ever attacked
the welfare of the people. 1t is an ag-
gressive warfare in that I'VE demand
affirmative legislation Tt is a aggressive
Al liIdl We dIt LVE ana KNOW
what we are for and are going to get
il. We propose a financial system. Our
opponents, without proposing. simply
oppose what We propose. We ask them
what they are going TO do and they
say they are going to oppose US. That
is all. We ask them what they want
in the way Of a financial system and
they say they want what we don't want.
That Is about as near as you can get
them to come and define their position.
We say we want unlimited coinage at
the present ratio: We say we want it
without waiting for he aid or consent
of any other nation on earth. They say
they want sount money. We tell you
what we think will ibe sound money.
They tell us they want honest money;
We tell you what we think is honest
money and what is a more honest dol
lar than the gold dollar is today"
