8:45 o'clock this morning for Milwau
kee, where he was to make two
speeches to-day. With him were E.
c. Wall. F. W. Won Cothausen, Julius
chuendel and 2. j. Somers.
At Waukegan, where about 700 peo-
pie demanded speech from Mr.. Bry-
an, he was introduced by Mr.. Wall as
the next President of the United
States and said: ''Ladies and Gentle
men, haven't time to make a speech,
but l am very glad to see you, whether
you are drawn here by what opposing
papers call idle curiosity Or by inter-
est in the cause being presented in
this campaign. / am inclined to be.
lieve there is great deal of interest
among the people on both sides of this
question. Some believe the success of
the free silver cause would be detri-
mental to the country. They say they
are earnestly opposed to us. Others
believe that there can be no
general return of prosperity to
the people of the United States
until we stop the appreciation of
money by giving the people more
standard money. 1t is natural to be-
lieve that these people feel interested.
1t is not for one man to say how an
other shall think, or act Or vote, but
l believe we have the right to urge
upon you the Importance of studying
| the question for ourselves and not
allowing anybody to think for you.
l do not believe there is any class of
| people who can safely be intrusted to
the right to think and act for another
class. The ballot is given to the cit
izen IN order that each citizen may
make his vote represent not what
somebody else may think, but what
he wants himself. | simply ask you,
during the days which intervene be-
tween now and election day, to study
| the issues presented in this campaign,
and when you have made up your
minds, have the courage to vote as
! your right to do it. l thank you"
CHEERS AND COUNTER CHEERS.
! There was a loud cheer when Mr..
Bryan had finished. Then some one
proposed Three cheers for Mckin-
| lev" and about half the crowd gave
| them with a will These were fcl-
lowed by return cheering for the
| Democratic nominee. which continued
until the train pulled out.
At Kenosha a thousand people were
! waiting. To them Mr.. Bryan spoke
as follows: Ladies and gentlemen:
| 1t is natural in a country like this.
where ali the power emanates from
the people and where officers are
chosen by the people, they should feel
an interest in public affairs and cam
| paigns through which they pass.
! When the time comes when the great
| question forces itself to the front the
| interest is deepened, and we have
reached such time. Often it is mat
ter OF comparatively little import
ance whether an issue before the .peo-
lFple is settled this year or next, or a
| few years in the future; but there are
times when great results depend on a
campaign. and we have reached such
time. The money question has been
| forced upon the attention of the peo-
| Pile by those who are not salts
flied with the gradual appre-
cation of the dollar, but have sought
| TO hasten its rise. 1t certainly has
been too rapid for the welfare of
! the people, but those who were the
benefciaries of the appreciation OF the
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
ed to hasten its rise by action still
more hostile to the white metal, They
| have not been content to let the peo-
| pie have an increased value of money,
| but have secured the repeal of the
Sherman law and put nothing in it's
place and then begun to issue bonds
! because hard times had made it I'M
! possible to invest money in enter
prises. Property has fallen and when
property is falling people do not want
to invest in property. They want to
| invest i'll money and then when money
was idle and they could not find profit
| able investments in enterprises some
| wanted to draw a good interest on
such investments. In my Judgment
T those who want safe investment
and wanted government bonds issued
| were to a large extent responsible for
| the result. In our platform we have
declared against the issue of bonds in
times Of peace. When you come to
consider these questions, the interests
of the people who must pay taxes
| which pay the bonds should be con-
sidered rather than the people who
| desire to profit by taxation wrung
from people already overburdened.
We knew when we put the clause in
| our platform against the issue of
bonds we would lose the bondholders,
but we want the people who pay the
| taxes"
| THE ANARCHIST CHARGE.
| A conservative estimate of the
crowd at Racine to meet Mr.. Bryan
would be 800 people and it seemed
if each one was trying to outdo all
others in cheering. Captain W. B.
Vance of Racine introduced Mr..
| Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentle
men: When l see large mum Der of
people like this who seem to be inter-
ested in the success of the camps ign
upon which we have started. | some
times wonder whether it is possible
that you people are deserving of the
names that are applied to you. If am
an Anarchist. then all who want me
elected must be Anarchists also. When
! look into your faces l wonder
whether you are all enemies of the
government or enemies of those who
want to use the government as pri-
vate snap There Is a great difference
between being against The govern
mcnt and against thcsA who misuse
