aDpealed 10 the church organizations
and church papers, and are trying 20
array them against the free coinage O.
silver. Well. could stand any appeal
made by the advocates OF the gold
standard to most classes but an appeal
to the teachers and the preachers of re
ligion. IF there is one thing the church
people OF this country should array
themselves against, ii is the gold stand
ard as il is being advocated at this
time. (AppIause) And yet the Repub-
lican party is appealing 10 church PEG
pie to take their place upon the side o.
the gold standard.
HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
How things have changed IN that
1900 years. Look at the people who
head the gold standard propaganda in
the United States. Look at the bond
holding class and the money changing
class, the brokerage class of New York,
who are trying 10 fasten a gold standard
upon the people of this country, not open
", but secretly and in disguise, and then
turn back 1900 years when the meek and
lowly Saviour threw the same kind OF
people out Of his temple because they
had made his house a den of thieves.
Great applause) And then think that
these people come and appeal to the min
listers Of the gospel and TO their church
papers to save them from the wrath 10
come. daughter and applauSe) My
friends, when certain ministers OF the
gospel denounce the great mass Of the
people who stand behind free coinage,
when these ministers have denounced
the advocates of free silver and have
taken their places upon the sides of
of
remind them that when the SaviouS was
here it was the common people who
heard him gladly-the very people whom
these ministers today call anarchists
and socialists. (Graet applause)
DIVES AND LAZARUS.
''AIy friends, when / find-there are not
many of them but they are quite con-
spfcuous-when 1 find these men casting
their lot upon that side, and exhaust
ing abusive language in their descriD-
ton of the great masses OF the people
OF this country( I feel like saying 10
them that il they VIII take their chaces
with Dives, will risk the chances with
Lazarus. Great applause)
''This money question is a question
that concerns, every one OF you and you
have a right TO consider what has been
done and what viii be done, and decide
whether you want to support the pres
ent financial policy or not. When prices
are falling and money rising a man can
better afford to lock his money up in
vault and gain the rise than invest his
money in property and risk a loss an
the value OF the property. You are max
ing the property not worth having and
everybody is trying to turn property
into money And while the gold stand
ard lasts that condition must remain
and times must be hard, and hard times
means more idse men. and more idle men
means more destitute men, and more des
titute men means at least more criminal
men, and yet the gold standard men
appeal TO the ministers TO increase
crime" Great applause and cheering)
At p. m. the party left for GOldh-
boro, n. c., where Mr.. Bryan speak
