aa IL IL In England |"

| and so IL goes on through inc "hcie
! card, taking the whole OF the Lrrds
! prayer. My friends. that strikes me
| worse than anything that / have Feen
In this campaign. There are some things
! that touch the tendrils of the heart and
| that Is like cutting out from under us
] the entire foundation OF our faith. when
men who want political office Will stoop
20 a corruption of the Lords prayer in
order TO get II.
My fclow-ciiIzens, Mr.. Bryan talks
about England being In favor OF McKin-
ley. Why II the English nation hated
Us az he seems to think. II they wanted
| 10 disgrace US. there IL no way they
| could do IT so well as by aiding his cleo
I ton. There IS no man on earth that
hates his country so bad that he could
wish greater disgrace TO come upon it
than that would be. They talk about
the sound-money people getting their in
| spration abroad. They were able 10 get
nothing until by chance they picked up
a garbled extract OF a letter from Bis
marck. man. who when he governed
Germany struck silver from her coinage
| If the act Of 1873 was crime. his act Of
| 1871 was ten times one. A man who
| suspended free speech and free thought
in Germany. and everything tina. was
! free. and yet these Populists in their
desire 10 get something to bolster them
parade around the country letter from
poor old Bismarck in his dotage.
Now my friends they tell you. or some
| Of them tell you. and they used TO tell
me that we must vote this ticket be-
cause il was nominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention. and that It was the
regular ticket. II may be that every
| thing was regular about II, but there IS
nothing in that platform that has ever
4 -. s.N.f f..rV no
/ fore There was nothing regular about
II except in the regularity with which
they resolved against everything that
was good for this country and useful
/ They were ready ana did repudiate tho
! only Democratic President We have had
{ in this country for forty years. the only
/ man who said that at all times. the
/ credit and honor of this country should
| be upheld, and for that they hated and
refused 10 endorse Grover Cleveland
/ There is nothing Democratic about them.
| There has not been Democratic ADMIN
istraton since the commencement OF
! this government that has not Deth III ID
Vor az honest money.
When the country first started 1t
started with the coinage Of gold and sill
yer upon a commercial basis, and yet
Won would think TO hear Mr.. Bryan talk
/ that that basis was 10 to ], ana that
| there was something about II that was
sacred. and you must not touch 1t. when
the fact is, the original coinage IN thi-
/ country. and for the first forty years OF
I its existence was on basis or - 10 J. ahG
/ was arranged upon commercial basis.
And let me say right here TO you winch
/ Won want to remember. that the irsL
attempt TO coin gold and silver on other
1 than a commercial basis IS the one MI
I Rrvau is irving to make.
If he adopts the free coinage OF silver
what is the result? III s's7 II VIA
