1t would take columns to describe Mr..
Bryan's visit to Minnesota. Suffice it to
say here that it was triumphal. It has
cheered up the silverites and dishearten-'
ed the gold men. It has leftsa~ trail that
will be plainly visible on the 3rd of No
vember.
The following are some of the gems
from his Minnesota speeches.
l would not favor the free coinage of
silver DID I not believe that it would lie
beneficial to those who toll, because, my
friends, my political philosophy teaches
me that there can be no prosperity in
this nation unless that prosperity begins
first among those who create wealth and
finds its way afterwards to the other
classes of society. More than that, civil
lization itself rests upon the great mass
of the people, and it is only by carrying
the mass of the people upward and on
ward that we can expect any advance in
civilization. There can be no real civil
Zation where a few in land have more
than they can use and the many have
an insufficient amount to give the neces.
sary sustenance.

When government is properly admin

after they have brought those adveIsities
upon the government for their own ben

ministered there will be no corporations
which assume greater authority than the
power which created them; when gov
eminent is properly administered it will
recognize those fundamental princi pies
set forth IN the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed with 1nalienable rights,
that governments arc instituted to pre-
serve these rights and that governments
derive their just powers from the con-
sent Of the. governed. When these four
principles are applied then government
will be what it ought to be.
Our opponents ask us how it is going
to be any easier to get money under free
coinage than it is now. 1t is easier to
get money from people who have money
than tits to get money from the people
who haven't any. If you have property
to sell and nobody has money to buy
with, you doat get any price for your
property, if 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. Our opponents
ask us how this money is going to help
us. The man who asks that question is
always glad to see money come in from
abroad. l ask him, how is this money
that comes in from abroad to be of apy
benefit to us? "Why", he will say, "the
mar who sends in money from abroad
sends it 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 mach if any more came from
abroad. And if we haven't enough now
and not money from abroad, submit
that it better to have money come out
of our own INNINGS and be our own
money than to borrow money abroad
and have to pay double for it,

My friends, the cuation of money
comes before its distribution. If your
laws prevent the creation of sufficient
amount of money, then you don't have
sufficient amount of money. And yet
our Republican friends, in the face Of a
decreasing currency tell Us that it is not
more money we need. They 60 on the
theory that the less money there is in the
country the more each man will have of
it. That is the new kind of arithmetic.
We say that until you put this money in
to existence there is no money to ex-
change for products ana that the only
