william J. Bryan gave out the following g
statement to the bimetallists OF the United
States:
Conscious that millions OF loyal hearts are
saldened by temporary defeat, beg to oiIer
word OF hope and encouragement. NO
cause ever had supporters more brave, ear
nest and devoted than those who have es-
housed the cause Of bimetallism. They have
fought from conviction and have fought with
all tho zeal which conviction inspires.
Events will prove whether they are right or
wrong Having done their duty rs they saw
it, they have nothing to regret. The fepuo-
lican candidate has been heralded as tne ad-
vance agent OF prosperity. If his policies
bring real prosperity to the American people
those who opposed him will share In tnat
prosperity. If, on the other hand, his poll
clcs prove an injury to the people generally
those OF his supporters who do not belong TO
the ofice-holdlng class, or to the privileged
classes. will suffer In common with those
who orposed him. The friends OF bi-metai
lsm have not boen vanqushed; they have
simply been overcome. They believe that
the gold standard is q conspiracy OF the
money changers against the we fare OF the
human race. and until convinced OF their
error they will continue the warfare against
