MR.. BRYAN'S
VICTORIOUS PROGRESS
CONTINUED from nag,

conscience or public good. l want to
remind employees OF the railroads that
in this state they have
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
whose blessings they did not secure
through the aid of the presidents of the
railroads. (Applause.) am willing for
in the year if you will just be Demo-
Gratis on election day.
1 am willing for you to wear gold
bug buttons for all the rest of the time.
If you enter the booth you will remem-
Der that the gold standard never con-
ferred a benefit upon those who toll
and that it was never endorsed or APP
proved or sanctioned by any body of
people except those who hold fixed in
veSJnents and trade in money or pro-
tit by the eXtremities of the govern
ment- Great applause.) Now, my
friends, let me say just a word more.
II you are in favor of a gold standard
have no complaint to make l respect
a man Who has d conviction and stands
by II, but | want you TO beware of the
man who is not willing to advocate his
honest opinion and seeks under false
colors and under false names to de-
ceiVe the people. (Great appiause.) If
You believe in a gold standard then l
want you 10 use the word gold" and
not hide the viciousness OF the gold
Standard under the euphonious name
OF sound money (Applause.) Who
is 1T that wears a mask? 1t is the man
that does not want you to see his face.
VINO is it that wears mask? 1t is
the man that is afraid of the light of
DAY, and when you find a man who
talks about sound money and then
does not tell you what he means by it:
when you Ind q. man who pirates about
an
HONEST DOLLAR
and then is dishonest in his treatment Of
the American people, beware of him. CAp-
plause) When we tell you that we are
IN favor of sound money we tell you
what we mean by sound money When
we tell you that we want an honest dol
lar, we tell you how we expect to make a.
dollar honest. (Applause) When we tell
you that we want sound money! we tell
you that the gold and silver coinage of
lne constitution is sound enough for us.
tGreat applause) Some Of our opponents
complain because we use that phrase the
gold and silver coinage of the conStitu-
tlon Why do we use it? If you will turn
back TO the Democratic platform of 1885,
you Will find 1t says, We are in favor of
honest money, the gold and silver coinage
OF the constitution 1t says it there The
constitution provides that no state shall
4A-Shc ally lnliS Out SOiQ ana silver a. legal
tender for debt, and when the constitu-
uon conferred upon the states the right
10 make both god and silver legal tender
and prohibited the right to make any,
thing else legal tender. the constitution
put gold and silver upon equality as the
money of this country. (Applause) And
l would rather go to the constitution to
md out what is good money for the Amer
lean people than go to Lombard street
and ask them what would be suitable
Here the platform which Mr.. Bryanswas
standing on partially collapsed, the west
END of it going down under the weight of
tnose standing on 1t. When order was re-
stored, Mr.. Bryan continued:
My friends, the crowd which found it's
way to this platform is but a drop in the
bucket to the crowd that is trying to get
upon the Chicago platform. Great APP
plause) These platforms may be frail
they may break down, but the Chicago
platform is built
UPON A SOLID ROCK
and can hold all that come
A special coach chartered by the Toledo
reception commIItee was attached to the
train on which Mr.. Bryan left Kenton at
2:20 pm.
Mr.. Bryan was given a hattering recep-
ton in point of the number of people who
assembled to hear him speak at the Find
lay ball ground2. If the crowd was not
so enthusiastic as at other places, there
were plenty among those composing it
their lungs. Fully 5000 people were in the
grand stand, the bleachers and in the
held. He said:
Ladies and Gentemen-There is one ar
5ument frequently used by those opposed
o bimetallsm They say you can't have
-wo yardsticks; that a dollar is a yard
STICK, and therefore you cannot have two
5ardsticks of different lengths. AS a mat
er Oh faet, a dollar is very different from
yardsuck A yardstick measures length.
l dollar measures value. 4 yardstick does
lot change in length, a dollar does change
n value. Therefore, to make a COMPARE
ion between a yardstick and a dollar In
cry misleading.
How can YOU make a dollar large? BY !
making fewer dollars How can Won |
make dollar fab in value? BY making |
more dollars. That is a principle re- |
,ognlZed by every writer on political |
economy who has any position or author |
ty among intelligent men. That the |
value of dollar depends on
THE NUMBER OF DOLLARS
$ the most fundamental proposition in
nance. Therefore legislation which af- !
ects the number of dollars affects the |
7alue of dollars. And when you come |
% the question of value in dollars Won
viii IND two classes Of people. When a
nan has dollars and wants to buy some
ming with them he wants them to buy
IS much as possible but when he needs
lollarS and has to buy them with prom
many dollars as possible. Great ap-
olause).
What do hard times mean? They
mean falling prices. And what causes
'rice of one thing this year and another
le&t l mean what causes a general fall
n prices? 1t is q rise in the value of the
lollar which measures all other things.
Now. my friends, we are engaged in
great struggle On the one side we find
he capitalistic classes. the holders of
;reat fixed investments, the money
hangers and the brokers who make their
'rofit buying bonds and furnishing gold
o the government after they have
reated the necessity for bonds. They
ire on one side and / am glad that in one
we have at last got them all
AVE been in the habit of running both
,arties and then sitting back and saying
hey are both good men, it does not mat
er which one is elected. They tried 1t
his year They succeeded in writing the
platform at st. Louis and then we.it 10
Chicago and tried TO write the platform
here. but they did not do it. (Appiause.)
1T was not because they did not want
lid not try to, but because there were
90 many people who did not want them
o. (Applause.) They failed and for
'nce we have an issue on
THE MONEY QUESTION.
f the advocates of the gold standard
-ould have controlled the Democratic
convention they would have written a
lafform on the question so much like
he Republican platform that you could
lot have told the difference with
glass (Applause)
