The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-10-24

thuslasm there was quite as loudly ex-
pressed as at the other two places.
In his tabernacle speech Mr.. Bryan re-
ferred to the indignltles shown Secretary
Carlisle at Covington last night, and
strongly deprecated them. He spoke, n
part, as follows: "If anybody tells YOU
that IL is not digniied for me as a pres;-
dental candidate to speak in Peoria,
please tell the republicans who crtlciss
that It was thirty-six years ago to-day
that Abraham Lincoln spoke In this town
as a candidate for the presidency, ana
there are many people who have a very
high respect for Abraham Lincoln, not
withstanding the fact that the republi-
can party has about deserted MIN,
(Cheers) l desire to express my graft
hcation that in this campaign, where
mems hearts are stirred as they have sell
dom been stirred before, where convc-
tons are deep and feeling runs high, that
there has been so little of conflict and
alteration between the people as they
mlngle together in the discussion of tho
paramount issue of this campaign.
IL seems to me that the self-restraint and
the respect for law and order which has
been shown speaks welk for the capacity
or the American people for self-govern-
ment, (Cheers). 1t is only rarely / have
found that any public speaker is inter-
fered with, or that any act is done which
can be made the subject OF just criticism
hi1AAtloit liliN at iillS time because tnlS
mornings paper presents two very unus-
ual Incidents in this campaign. l find
from the morning paper that some gold
men disturbed a silver meeting and that
some silver men disturbed a gold meeting
in Kentucky. l mention this because Il
is not often that these things have hap
pened and l mention the Incidents In order
that 1 may appeal to the advocates Of
free coinage to observe during the pres
ent campaign the courtesy, the chari-
ty, the liberation, that has been
almost unanimously manifested up to
this time. (Cheers) / have found persons
wearing the yellow badges, indicating
that they were opposed to silver, minglng
in the crowds and cheering some times,
where have gone, and have been glad
to know that these people, so radically
differening in opinion, could minge to-
gether without clash or without difiicul-
ty j want to say this, that l condemn
the disturbance offered at Mr.. Carlisle's
meeting, as much as l condemn the dis
turbance offered at a silver meeting
Great cheering) Let each Individual
see that no disgrace can be heaped by
him upon another person A man can
not be disgraced by another. He must
disgrace himself II disgrace comes.
CCheers) And those who attempt to Of
fer indignity to another injure themselves
far more than they do the object of their
has been resentment, because men who
have in the past advocated one doctrine,
now advocate another doctrine. / know
that these changes have been made with
out sufficient excuse being given to the
public. But, my friends, leave these men
to history, because history is Just II
they have done wrong they shall be pun
ished. II they are In the right we ought
not to punish them. (Cheers.)
Il want to call your attention TO another
thing before taking up any discussion of
any particular phase Of the money ques-
tion. want to ask you to recall what you
read I'm this mornings paper, that the rate
Of interest had been raised one per cent
by the Bank OF England. The rate OF in
terest now there is four per cent. 1t has
been raised per cent within six weeks.
The Bank OF Germany has raised the rate
of interest to five per cent, and the Bank
of France has refused to sell gold. / call
your attention to these facts because
cannot understand how any one can fall to
see the significance OF these things. Our
opponents tell us that gold forms a safe
foundation for an international money.
They tell us that gold alone is good
throughout the world. want you to UNDER
stand, business men OF Peoria and Illinois.
that this rise In the interest rate in Eng
land and Germany and the action of the
French bank in all these things indicate,
as they conclusively prove, that the stock
of gold throughout the world Is go small
that the nations OF the world are grabbing
to get their share. Great
cheering) What has created
this special demand7 You do not have
to go far to find the cause. The fnan-
ciers decided that It would not do TO have
another bond issue in the United States
during the campaign. They decided that
another issue of bonds would be an OBJ
ject lesson which they could not afford
to risk, and, therefore, the financiers of
New York went to work to supply the
national treasury with gold to tide 1t over
the campaign. When they find IL was
difficult they appealed to the foreign finan-
ciers, who were interested in fast
ening the gold standard perma-
nently upon the American peo-
pie. These financiers aided in the plan
and as gold left Europe and as gold came
to US from England, the people there be-
gan to feel the effect Of its departure, and
the bank of England raised the rate of in
terest to stop the flow Of gold to the United
States, and Germany had to protect her
self, and France has to protect herself,
and thus this one little agitation proves to
the people Of the world that so long as gold
Is our only money there must be constant
disturbance, constant agitation, constant
peril to our commercial fabric, as the gold
drifts from one nation TO another"
