The herald., 1896-09-29
namely: their votes when they go to

III the people VINO Suuer are not Will
ing to vote for relief, they must not ex-
pect to get relief. But, my friends, I
should think that the people who live
here would esteem it q great privilege to
cast a vote in favor of restoring the
government to it's right position, where
1t protects every citizen in the enjoy
ments of his rights, without giving any
privileges to any class"
After Mr.. Bryan had finished there
were cries for Mr. Sewall, the nominee
for the vice-presidency, and he was in
troduced and given three cheers. The
crowd demanded a speech from him, but
he answered that he did not have time
to make a speech, and if there was time
he would yield it to the nominee. Then
there were cries for George Fred Will
Jams, who came with Mr.. Bryan, and the
nominee for governor of Massachusetts,
told of the welcome given to the candi-
date for the presidency. He said it had
been unanimous at New Haven, and
when the name of Yale college was men,
toned it was roundly hissed.
There were short stops made at Bridge
port and Stamford, where several hun
dred people had congregated, but they
were just long enough for the candidate
to shake hands with those nearest him.
At Jersey City large crowd cheered
Mr.. Bryan as he passed through the sta
ton onto the ferry boat.
Mr.. Bryan bade farewell to Connecti-
cut at New London at noon today, al
though he added few words at New
Haven, the last stop in the New England
states. At New London Mr.. Bryan
found questioners,a and for sometime car
ried on a dialogue with an elderly gen.
tleman near the speakers stand.
Mr.. Bryan proceeded with his argu-
ment In behalf of free coinage, during
which he had been frequently applauded,
when man asked: Where will we be
when we get free silver?"
Mr.. Bryan-Are you in favor of the
gold standard?
The voice. am.
Tell me why
The voice-Because believe it is the
best for thee ountr. Every nation will
accept gold dollar for a dollar.
Mr.. Bryan-Whw? I will tell you.
Because of its value. The reason the
gold dollar and bullion are worth the
same is because the law says you can
convert the bullion into dollar at the
mint.
The voice-Well, how about silver?
Mr.. Bryan-When the laws are so, UNI
der the free coinage Of silver, that the
holder of silver bullion can convert his
silver into dollars at the mint, which
will fix a general price for silver as we
have a mint price for gold now, our sill
yer dollars will be worth as much abroad
as our gold dollars.
A voice-Start up the mills.
Mr.. Bryan-Suppose you start up the
mills how are you going to dispose of
the things which the mills produce un-
less the people can buy the product of
your mills? Would it not be as hard to
change thes tandard of money in the
world as it would be to change the stand
ard of weights and measures in the
world?
Mr.. Bryant will answer that ques-
tion by saying that in the first place the
world has no standard of weights and
measures and we have been unable to
bring the nations of the world to agree
to a standard of weights and measures
In the second place, why did you not give
the advice in 1873 that you are CIV
ing now? They changed our standard
of money then and for twenty years they
have tried to keep us from undoing what
they did then. Those who deny the right
of the people to change the law to re-
store silver to its rightful place were the
very ones to help pass a law twenty
three years ago to destroy TIE free COIN
age of silver and substitute a new stand
ard after the nations of the world had
tried bimetallism and after this nation
had tried it from the beginning of the ma
tion down to that time.
AT NEW HAVEN AGAIN.
Evidently New Haven wished to make
amends for the reception Mr.. Bryan had
received there last week, for the depot
sheds covered a mass OF enthusiastic
humanity. The citizens were there in
force, both in point of numbers and in
volume of lung power. Mr. Bryan spoke
to them moment, but in that moment
he gave them an opportunity to dis
claim any participation in the riotous
demonstration of the collegians.
Mr.. Bryan had just closed in a few
words, telling how pleasant his trip
through New England had been, when he
was interrupted thus:
A voice-There are no Yale students
here today, Mr. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan-Do not criticise the boys
too harshly; 1 am not inclined to criti-
else them as severely as some others
have done. I have been college boy
myself, and I am inclined to attrib-
ute their Interruptions more to youth
full exuberance than to any deliberate
intention to interfere with free speech.
I shall always be glad to returU to New
Haven when circumstances permit, and
1 am sure whatever may be my sub
ject, 1 will be able to find persons here
who are willing to listen, even if they
do not agree. I am glad to notice the
growth of the silver sentiment in New
England. 1 believe it has grown in this
state within the last few days, and l
am sure the more the subject is studied
in New England the more supporters
free silver will have.
I have given you, my friends, what
might be sufficient answer. I want to
give you more than a sufficient answer.
My friend wants to know how that can
change the standard of the world. 1 tell
you that Prince Bismarck has stated
recently that if the United States acts
alone it will be salutary in bringing
European nations to accept our bimetal-
lie policy. Ii my timid friend doubts
the ability of this nation, / beg him to
