f,r The rest Of the week.
The hard work of yesterday did not
show to any great extent on the candi-
5... when he appeared on the Reed house
,sr.onv this forenoon and addressed a
,.-gs crowd gathered there His voice
vrss somewhat hoarse, but otherwise he
o,,aqred to be in good condition. The
/ three speeches delivered by Mr.. Bryan in
rrfs last night showed his versatility as
on orator. He talked money to all his au-
d.ences. but couched the same ideas in
different phraseology at each place.
i, The course Of his spicy speech at st.
Pstricks auditorium Mr.. Bryan said:
Eve have got to take action. 1t is either
bImetallisn or a gold standard and its fu-
,ura is in the hands Of fate. There is no

All others are minor affairs. They may
be settled at any time, but the question
Of money must be settled now. What are
We going to do? I don't know what the
people think about it, but I do know if
4 they want to help themselves they GA
60 to the polls and vote for silver.
Il don't know what your politics are,
nor do 1 care. / speak to you as citizens
. OF great country, not as members Of a
+ party. Parties are useful, of course, but
they are instruments. not men. There is
no reason why you should worship any
3 party. The republican party had great
3 opportunities at St. Lous, but they were
slaves to gold and had to bow their heads
10 the organized syndicates, and you must
4 remember that these same syndicates pro-
tect the treasury. The republican party
Z tells you to hope and wait. But how long
a will you have to wait? Do not let the
republicans beguile you about the future.
a The future is written in blood, crushed
out of you by gold. (Applause)
1T is not for amusement that we are
engaged in this contest. 1t is for you 1t

we are bUilG lib III eilVliS anu httD UP NAAt
war until we win. But my friends, we
will not have TO keep it up long. CApplause.) }
Agitation of this question causes trou-
81 hle, and trouble causes agitation. Peo-
4 pie do not get agitated for nothing There
must be something back of it all. Per-
4 haps il is because a farmer who owned
farm which was worth twenty years
ago 5000, this year mortgages 1t for 81.
800, and if he tries to sell it he will find
n that he cannot get enough for 1t to pay
of the mortgage.
The audience addressed by Mr.. Bryan

4 speeches, and gained considerable ap-
pause for eulogistic references to Hon.
