wore the colors of the opposition and the
silver men were at all places dcmonstra-

Appleton, Wis, Oct. 30.--The towns
visited by Mr. Bryan in the Badger State
this morning We're literally dcckcd with
yellow. Not since he left the Ohio river
valley has he encountered crowds SO an
tagonistic to his views. There were IL
large number of white ribbons worn by
his hearers, but the majority of the peo-
pie addressed 10y him at the first few
stops this morning did not hesitate to
show their preference for the yellow
metal
AT Green Bay Mr.. Bryan addressed a
crowd of several thousand persons. There
was not much enthusiasm at the start,
but before the nominee had concluded
his speech his audience was applauding
him literally. He spoke from Il platform
in Whitney Park, eX-Governor Peck in
Producing him. Mr.. Bryan said in part:
We believe that the people are suffer
ing from the effects of II gold STANDARD
That standard was fastened to this coun-
try more than twenty years ago, without
public discussion. The very fact that
the people knew nothing about it, the
fact that their consent was not asked nor
their wishes expressed ought to he su1-
cient to make the people investigate the
cause of the characterization of silver.

"You will find that the men who are so
anxious that nothing shall be said against
the income tay decision are men who at
tack every court ANA every decision that
Is against them, and never show respect
for law or anything else unless il is of
advantage to them to do so. (Chcers)
''Wc declare against contracts payable
in Il particular kind of money We are
in favor of legislation which in the
future will prevent the making of special
contracts, and our reason for it is that
money is Il thing necessary to our society,
and if we have two kinds of money it is
desirable that they should be floating
together.
IF contracts are made payable in
any particular kind of money, and if you
have enough of those special contracts
you create an extra demand for one kind
of money and you drive it to Il premium
and destroy the parity between your
money. do not believe that individuals
should defy the Government and attempt
to destroy the Governments financial
policy"
Kaukauna turned out Il good sized
crowd of its citizens, who listened to Mr.
Bryan for ten minutes. He referred to
yesterdays furry in Wall Street as fol

the joint Nenah and Mcnasha station
