The San Francisco call., 1896-11-03

These gentlemen made arrangements that all
the productions should be somewhere else.
They took a great deal of pains with that.
[Applause.]
They gave our wooden indus ries over to
Great Britain; they undertook to give our
fruit industries to the sunny lands of France;
tney .riee thelr pest 10 give our steel indus
tries to France, Germany and Great Britain.
[Applause.1 Fortunately they were not able
to do as well as they tried to do. daughter ]
In the House of Representatives under Mr..
Bryan's theories-for he was not leader there
-tApplausel toward the middle of the assem-
bly, all this was attempted but when they got
up to the Senate of the United States that body
certainly did curb them. Yet they let our
woolen industries go 10 the bad. 1Applause.l |
We told those men that they were mistaken.
They did not believe it. We have succeeded by
the events OF the last four years in convincing
even them. [Applause and shouts of That's
what.'1
Mr. Bryan has had enough of us. however,
and the tariff, apparently. [Laughter.l If he
certainly has. [Great aprlause.l Remember
that in this world the Lord teaches people in
different ways, sometimes by the mouth OF his
prophet, sometimes even by the mouth of
stump speakers Laughter and applause. |
But the greatest lesson that he can give our
people or other people-if other plane is are
inhaDited-is the lesson of experience but
whenever you go to the school of experience
you pay very high wages to the teacher.
(Applause1
For the last four or five years you-have been
paying the wages OF experience. You have
been suffering by those me who in 1892 gave
you advice Applause and shouts of That's
true What are those men doing now Four
years have elapsed, four years OF misfortune
and unhappiness. and what are those men
doing Are they down on their knees with
their hands over their mouths and their
mouths in the dust, saying. 1--WE have misled
the people ?" [Cries OF ''Nit RI Not bit of
it. They are standing the hilltops, with
than they had four years ago IUproarious ap-
plause, mingled with laughter and shouts.]
For pure, unadulterated impudence there is
nothing like the attitude OF these patriots
lLaughter.l Deserted by all honest men in
the Democratic party, they stand up and have
the audacj y to promise you that If you will
only follow them again they will lead you not
where they led you before, not into the slough
OF desDond, but to the gates of gold. set of
men may be deceived once, but If they are de-
ceived second time it is nobody's fault but
their own. lUproarious applause
tell you that the laws of nature will not be
suspended on your account. Three months
ago every man OF them admitted defeat. They
were right; defeat was staring them in the
face. [Applause.l 1t still stares them in the
face, and tomorrow 1t will do more. tGreat
applause.]
and what is their proposition? Is it the mar
kets of the world? That is what they were 60
ing to give us four years ago, the markets of
the world. Applause and laughter.l They
deprived us of the most magnificent market
there is on earth. [Applause.l What is thatf
1t is the market where men have the most
mOuSy 10 SpeUQ- WQere Is tQalI In the United
States OF America. [Great and long-contnued
applausel
And in return they send us hunting for the
markets of China and senegamb ia and Mexico
and Central Africa. lGreat applause.1 How do
you like that? LYeils OF disapprobation and
disgust.]
Now they say what we want in order to be
happy is the free coinage OF silver-16 TO l.
by the great, big United States that can
drive silver up or water down or any
thing. [Great laughter and applause.t

felt 1t necessary to boast. That was the
time when the United States was in doubt
about itself. [Laughter.l Boosting by the
United States is ike the whstling of the man
who goes through a grayeyard-he don't do 1t
because he is merry, but because he is scared.
Tremendous laughter and applause, followed
by yells of APPROVAL
This Nation doesn't need any boasting. IL
is big enough to stand up by itself. [Applause.[
When the United States is trum peting it wants
some brains behind the trumpet. ILaughter.l
Now, the United States IL big, but it cannot
change the Arabic figures (Laughter.l That
is what they want us to do. They want US to
change 81 to 1 to 16 to 1. [Applause.l This is
not bimetallism.
The free coinage of silver by the United
states, 10 to l, means 50-cent dollar; and If
you 90 not believe it think l can prove it.
tApplauseI What the whole world could do
with Tree silver / do not know; what the
United States can do with it do know Zap
piansel, because the United States has tried it.
lApplausel
Mr. Bryan says: ave believe that if we
were to coin silver 10 to 1 that the silver
Wouid go up and be equal with gold" What
proc. does ne give of it? IShouts of "Nonep'1
Not the slightest. He says 1--WE belieyen Who

laughter and applause.l
~, W nat are tne facts that we know about IL?
why, even Mexico knows better They have
triea IL there, and while Me sico is not as big
as the united States. Mexico in Mexico ia as
pig as tne united States is in the United States
lAppiause A pint cup can be Just as full as
a barrel. lLaughter.l
Mexico has tried it, backed up by that beau
tlful country that these men want ms To imi-
tate called China. Laughter Why do Won
know we nave 6OO, 1000, 900 of silver dollars in
circulation now? That is so far as neonle viii
take them. tLaughter.l Sxhundred miiIions
after ratio was established Eight miIiton
dollars were taken out of circulation for the
very simple reason that every one Of tbosa
dollars was worth 103 cents. No man Is fooI
enough to pay anybody 1O3 cents when he
can pay him 100. [Applause.l
You would think from what these men said
that we had been numbering silver some
where. Now, what is the effect of buyinp
$500, 100000 of silver? Has it gone up7
Mr.. Bryan said it would, and his EXPLANATION
