IN
whose special car made the trip in the
hours bordering on midnight. Nlla
ehrieks went up and died quickly IN the
distance as the train shot through The
darkness past little stations where
crowds had gathered in the hope that the
train would stop. CariinVlle was the only
place where tho Bryanitos we're graft
fed. Mr.. Bryan was awakened there at
midnight. and made a little speech from

GLOOMY PREDICTIONS.
This is what ne said
cone week from to-day the American
people are 10 decide upon the hnancial

| WHEN our opponents have failed in every

gloomy predictions of what viii happen

words of praise compared with the idn-
suase USED by our opponents when tnoy
| Iealn TO tell what is going TO happen
If the Tree coinage of silver comes, ana
one of the most frequent cf the pro-
phecies. which they make is that panic
VIII come nom the moment We have ire

Who have money Will lock IL up ana an
the people who have mortgages VIII lore
/ ,losc the mortgages. ana that there l'
Going TO le a period Of ruin here Tnef
| language fails TO express their IDEAS on
the subject. They simply stand aBnast
at the picture.
Il want TO show you that tho free
coinage of silver instead Of bringing q
panic. will stop the panic That the people
have been suffering from. t,heeisJ we
! are lu the midst oil a. panic now, and We
have been i'm the MUST OF a panic. busi-
ness failures have been increasing and
| hard times have been becoming harder.
That is what q panic means. and we are
in the midst Of q panic now, and there
is no way ont of the panic until we
SION falling prices. and there is no way
10 stop falling prices until We increase
tno volume OF money which measures
/ prices. lCheers) Now, there rs one safe
/ principle to 80 on when you are discuss
/ ing what Is going 10 happen, and that
I principle Is that people are not going

If they know IL.
SIGNIFICANT.
..You can count on selfish interests al
WAYS. and when you tell me that men
/ will hoard money under free coinage
/ tell YOU that ] know that they VIII cease
! boarding money. because people never
hoard money when money is falling IN
value (Cheers)
."rhev do not hoard wheat when wheat
Is going down You viii ind that When
The prices begin TO fall they begin 10 get
/ rid OF the thing falling in price. Under
free coinage there will be large amount
Z Of money brought into circulation. and
people understand that that means the
purchasing power Of the dollar viii fan.
and when that commences the man who
owns the dollars will be trying 10 get
rid OF the dollar and get held OF some
thing which is rising in its purchasing
power" (Cheers)
