Continued from paFs L.
the present financial system is based
upon gold. The present financial sys-
tenn eontemplateS the retirement of
greenbacks and treasury notes and the
substitution of bank paper for these
notes. The present financial system
contemplates the retirement of all legal
tender silver certificates, and contem-
plates gold only as the legal tender
money of this country, and bank paper
the only paper money of the country.
The financial policy under which we
now suffer, therefore, contemplates
condition in which men who control
the national banks will control the
paper money, and the people will have
nothing to say about it. Mr.. Carlisle,
in a recent letter, says that it is the
duty of the secretary of the treasury
to redeem silver dollars in gold when
ever it becomes necessary to do so, in
order to maintain the parity. What
does that mean? It means that all
this talk about retiring greenbacks and
treasury notes
IS A FARCE
and when this farce gives out, they in
tend to start another endless chain as
soon as they get through with the
present endless chain. We have got to
have either one kind of standard money
or two kinds. If we cannot have two
kinds, then it must be one, and the
government must have the right to use
a silver dollar If the government
cannot use a silver dollar to pay all the
debts that it owes, then the silver doll
lar is not as good as the gold dozar.
I believe this government has a right
to use its silver dollars as it uses its
gold dollars; but our opponents have
gone on a different theory, and they
have taxed the people of this country
to pay interest ON $226, 1000, 900 in bonds,
in order to buy gold, ON the theory
than silver was not as good as gold.
MY friends, when I see bonds worth
$1.19 sold for $1.04115, and try to describe
what kind of a transaction it is, re-
greet thar my parents did not teach me
more tongues in which to express my
ideas. And yet the people who sell for
S1.041a and have bonds worth $l.19 as
sumo that they are the only people VINO
understand financier1ng. / believe that
instead of the secretary of the treasury
getting down on his knees and asking
these mem to please tell him what to
do, that ne ought to stand UP and with
100000 of people behind him to tell
them what they ought to do and make
them do it. (Applause0 You say that

THE GREAT TROUBLE
has been, in my Judgment, that our
treasury officials, instead of being in
sympathy with the mass of the people OF
the United States nave been in sym
pathy with the syndicareS and the
financiers of the United STATES.
Our platform declares for the
double standard. without discrimin-
alton or charge for mlntage- OUT
platform is but a reiteration of the
main part of the platform of 1892, with
out the steps. Qaughter) We left the
steps off because the candidate did not
care TO step down this time. Great ap-
plauSe) Our platform is not made slim
ply that we may get in on 1T, but IL Is
made to stand on after election. am
in favor of free coinage, whether we
produce silver in this country or not
l ann in favor of che use OF silver, not
because we produce it, but because We
own it. (Applause.) If we need it and
IL it is best for us at our present ratio,
1 am in favor of having it, even If to
have it gives the people who produce
silver a chance to do what they did
before the law truck silver down. They
tell you THAT free coinage helps those
who delve in the mines. Admitted.
tell you that when they bring out that
metal they pour 1T into the chammeaS
of trade and we are blessed by. its dis
coveqy. (Applause.) Who will
BE HELPED BY THE GOLD STAN
DARD?
Not those who produce the metal, and
pour it into the channels of trade, DUE
those who corner tine money OF the
world and keep il out of the channels.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Bryan them went over his argu-
ment of Bismarck and bifnefallism,
and said:
.sShame on the cowardly man who
thinks this nation is not as Dig as Bis
marck thinks it is.
When MIR. Bryan concluded he was
cheered loudly. He presented SENATOR
Blackburn, asking the audience to lis
ten to him, and most of those who had
heard the presidential candidate re-
manned.
The Journey of Mr.. Bryan from PM
adeLIhia to Hobo3len was marked py
enthusiastic crowds ait aid stations. MI
Bryan made a. number OF speeches., one
of foua. minutes at Washington, N. D..
and others of brief duration. Most of
his addresses were cut short by the
train moving out. The stops were ire
ouent. but very brief. MIR. BryanS ap-
pearance was almost invariably
cheered. He was fortunate on such a
busy day in having cool weather, ana
ON his arrival at Hobol1en showed none
of the fatigue that mas followed his
campaigning during the hoG season.
THE MEETING AT THE RINK
was under the auspices of the Bryan

able to obtain admission.

three hearty cheers and, followed by an
immense guard. left the hall. He was
