BASTES A BISHOP.
Monmouth, Ill, Oct. 24.-After leaving
Rock Island there were short stops at
Alpha and Alexis, and Mr.. Bryan went
to the rear OF the car and acknowledged
the reception given him with few plea
SAINT words \ sharp rebuke was ad-
ministered TO Bishop Worthington at
Monmouth by Nj. Bryan. The nominee
replied 10 a statement in an interview
with the bishop published in a Chicago
paper. In the Interview Bishop Worth
ington said that the trouble with the far
mer boy was that ne secured Too many
advantages under the free educational
system. In his rejoinder, Mr.. Bryan said
in part:
'"To talk about the education of our
farmers sons and to attribute the difti-
culties who surround us today 10 over
education, is, 10 my mind, one OF the
most cruel things that a man ever ut
tered. The idea OF saying that farmers
sons, who are not able TO rise in life, get
a taste of education and then enjoy the
taste so much that they follow it up and
become dissatisfied with the farm and
drift into the cities. TIE idea of saying
that there is over-education among our
farmers sons.
MY friends, do you know what that
language means? 1t means reversal
of the progress Of civilization and
march toward the dark ages again How
can you tell which one Of the farmers
sons is going TO prove a great man until
You have educated them all? Are we 10 !
select commission 10 go around and
pick out the ones that are TO be educat-
ed?
ALL ROADS LEAD TO Is TO 1.
"Ah, my friends, there is another Tea-
son why people have gone into cities and
left the farms. 1t is because your leg
islation has been causing the foreclosure
of mortgages on the farmers and the |
farms. 1t is because your leg station has
been making the farmers life harder for !
the farmer; it is because the non-produc- !
ing classes have been producing the !
laws and making il more profitable TO {
gamble in the farm products than IL is 10
produce them. The idea of laying the
blame OF the present conditions at the
farmers door. The idea of suggesting
as a remedy the closing of schools in or
der that the people may not become dis .
satisfied Why, my friends, there viii be /
dissatisfaction while the cause of dissat- .
sfaction exists Instead OF attempting I
to prevent people realizing their condi- 4
condition of the farmers of this county? /
TRIED TWENTY YEARS.
ct cannot understand how man iiv- |
ing upon the farm can be deluded into /
the idea that the gold standard has any |
thing but misery and suffering for him |
The gold standard has been tried. 1t I
has been tried in this for twenty years.
and no party has declared that it was a |
good thing. The gold standard has
never been endorsed by the farmers of |
this nation. aye, more than that, the /
gold standard has never been endorsed !
by the farmers of any nation which mas /
ever had the gold standard. 1t is only |
recently that they held convention !
away over at Buda Pest, and that con-
vention of farmers sent greetings TO the |
bimetallists Of the United States and ex-
pressed the hope that the United States |
close Of his speech and met with a very /
its rightful place as money throughout /
the world. If the farmers OF Europe can 4
watch this struggle here and lift up their /
prayers for our success, how can a far |
tner in this country join himself with |
those who want to bow to the dictation I
of foreign nations and allow Wall street |
and Lombard street 10 run this nation /
for US.

THE financial question involves the /
welfare OF our nation; il involves hu-
mainly; it involves civilization, because.
mark my words. if the gold standard |
goes and the people continue 90 COM
plain. the gold standard advocates. in
stead Of trying to improve the condition
Of the people. will be recommending /
that you close your schools so that the
people will not realize how badly they /
are suffering. Is it not strange that 1
there can be anybody in this country so
would take the lead in restoring silver 70
pie as TO think that the masses OF the l
people are being well cared for? No.
nv friends. il is not strange; IL is as old 1
as history. This difficulty is wen known.
for in all times and in all countries and
under all conditions those who are get
ting along well enough cannot feel for
those who are suffering; therefore. the
well-to-do never reform an evil or bring
relief from a bad condition. ! appeal 20
you who have felt the severity OF a gold
standard. 10 achieve your own relief. be-
cause you have the means in your pow
er and the opportunity VIII be present.
