Brotherly Love-Some Extracts from
the Addresses Made on
Tuesday.
Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-Mr. Bryan
left Wilmington, Del, at 10:05 q. m.
Tuesday and reached this city at 1906
p. m. At all points en- route the candi-
date was loudly cheered. lie made no
speeches except at Chester, where lie
left the train and was escorted to a
park and addressed good-sized audi
ence briefly, after which he was driven
to the Colonnade hotel, where recep-
tion was held. The train stopped at the
Broad street station in this city amid
loud cheers from the big crowd which
had assembled. Mr.. Bryan was at once
driven to the Lafayette hotel, and after
luncheon was taken by boat to Washing
ton Park, a summer resort on the New
Jersey side of the Delaware river, where
he spoke in the afternoon.
When Mr.. Bryan reached Washington
park he found about 1000 persons col
lected before the stand facing the BIZ
cycle track. A burst of cheering greeted
the nominee as he came forward to
speak. AT the conclusion of his adj
dress Mr.. Bryan was escorted back to
this city and rested at his hotel until he
dineda and went to the Academy of Music
to speak. In his speech at Washing
ton park Mr.. Bryan said:
Regulators and Patriots.
'If you destroy part of our money You
must be content to take lower price for
what you have to sell. When you drive
down the value of your property, you don't
drive down the value Of the mortgage
asks the same for it. We don't ask to re-
duce the amount of mortga ges, but say
the man who holds mortgage and wants
you to pay him in an ever-growing dollar
is the most dishonest man you can find.
They have an idea there is only one kind
of reputation. If debtor wants to pay
you In a dollar less valuable than the dol
lar he borrowed he is repudator, but,
IT the man who holds that mortgage wants
him to pay in dollar worth twice as much
as when 1t was loaned that man is fnan-
cier and patriot, and you cannot open
your mouth against him. If those who hold
the notes of the people of the United States
have right to insist on a gold standard,
farm products, l want to know why the
people of the United States have not right
IN their sovereign majesty to stop the
growth of these dollars before they get any
biggcr?"
In the Quaker City.
Five thousand people packed closely
in the Academy of Music, with seating
capacity of 5000, heard William j. Bry-
an deliver the first of three addresses
made to Philadelphia audiences Tues
slay night. Many thousands more
swarmed in the streets outside the
building, and these he addressed when
his indoor speech was concluded. An
enormous crowd remained for hours
outside the Hotel Lafayette awaiting to
get glimpse of the candidate. Equal
~ great was the assemblage that
thronged Broad and Wharton streets, in
front of the Southwestern Democratic
club, to hear the third and last address
of the evening. AT the Academy Of
Music Mr.. Bryan was greeted with much
enthusiasm on being introduced to the
vast audience. He spoke at great length,
his arguments on the campaign issues
following in pretty much the same lines
employed by him in other speeches.
Among other things he said:
The gold-standard papers ask why I
come to pennsylvania. I have nothing to
conceal. I come to tell the people of Penn
sylvania that the agitation for free coin
age-W never cease until the gold standard
lis driven back to England. You say the
craze is dying out. You may apply 70 it
such epithets you will, but the silver
cause will not die, because truth never
dies. You ask why l know this cause is
true. could give many reasons, but one
Is sufficient, that every enemy of good gov
eminent is against it. Your city is called
the city of Brotherly Love. come to pro-
claim to you the gospel described by the
name of your city. And yet, you say you
VIII give 100000 majority against the doc
trine. I come to defend financial inie-
0endence In city which declared national
independence more than 100 years ago.
I'm this city the forefathers gathered
when they were willing to defy all for
eign powers, and you say this city is afraid
to have financial independence. L shall not
believe the descendants of 100 years ago
have sunk SO low, unless you write it so
in your ballots in November. The issue
raised now was raised then. People then
said We could not get along unless some
foreign nation looked after US. Some
to-day stand in the same position. Those
who 100 years ago were in favor of foreign
supremacy We're the people who had bust
ness dealings and drew their support from
foreign intercourse and acted as the agents
of those who destroyed them. You as
sisted them. You have your banks to-
day which are controlled by London in
Guences, and / have no more respect for
an American who takes his patriotism
from Lombard street than l have for the
tory who 100 years ago took his patriotism
from the same place"
After his speech at the Academy of
Music, Mr.. Bryan did not speak at the
overflow meeting in front of the build
ing, as was expected, but went direct
to Broad and Wharton streets, where
$4,000 people were congregated. Mr..
Bryan acknowledged the greetings of
the asselnblage and stated that he was
too hoarse to address them, and re-
quested that they read his Academy of
Music speech. He then retired and was
driven to his hotel.
