Plain Language.

Plain Language.
Kansas City, Sept. 12.-Mr. Bryan ar
rived In Kansas City at $50 this morning.
At the depot were gathered thousands OF
workingmen from the car-shops and
packing houses, who demanded speech.
From the rear end of the platform Mr..
Bryan addressed them in part as follows:
"Fellow Citizens: I am very glad to
be able to speak to You even fora mo-
ment. Some of our opponents tell us
the thing needed is open mills instead OF
mines. That reminds me of the man
who said his horse would 90 all right If
he could get his wagon started. Laugh
ter and appause.) 1t is putting the
cart before the horse. What use is there
for mills unless the people can buy what
the mills prodnce and how can you start
them as long as those who produce the
wealth of this country, particularly the
farmers, are not able to get enough out of
what they raise to pay their taxes and
interest (Applause.) There is no more
effective way of destroying the markets
for what the mills produce than to lower
prices upon the products the farmer has
raised so that they will not bring enough
to pay him for raising them"
M'KINLEY ON AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.
"There was report filed by Mr.. Nc
Kinley in 1890, along with the Mckinley
bill, which declares that there was great
industrial depression and that, while
there WAS depression in agriculture
there could be no prosperity anywhere.
It was true then and is true to-day, that
while there ia depression in agricultur-
al products there can be no prosperity
anywhere. You must commence at the
bottom and work up through the other
classes. You can not commence your
prosperity at the top and expect it to
work down through all the phases of So
ciety. (Applauss.)
"You, gentlemen, who live in this city,
surrounded by an agricultural country,
know that there is no way of bringing pros
peritY to Kansas City until you first bring
prosperity to those toilers upon whose
success Kansas City rests. (Applause.) 1t
does not require inanciers. 1t does not
require railroad attorneys to tell you
where your property lies (great ap-
plause), nor can these men prevent you
from exercising the right of sovereignty
as you please. (Applause.) Voice: They
are trying to do it,
GREATER THAN THE SILVER QUESTION.
"My friends, met railroad man yes
terday who told me that, while he did not
agree with me on the silver question, an
issue had been raised greater than the
silver question, and that was whether we
lived in republic where man had the
right to vote as he pleased, or whether
his vote was the property of somebody
else to be used as somebody else pleased.
(Applause.)'
Voice, "Mssouri gives you 100000 ma
jority, you bet"
Another voice, "Put Kansas down for
60,O0O."
Another voice, Sand Arkansas did
pretty we'll herself"
"Unless all the signs fail the people are
going to be at the polling places before
the booths open and stay there until they
close. This interest means that the gov
ernment is going to be made more nearly
what government ought to be and that
is government which will protect the
humblest citizen in the land in his right
to work and enjoy the fruits of his toll"
(Applause.)
GREETED BY ACRES OF PEOPLE.
tallyho, drawn by four horses, carried
the Bryan party and the reception COM
mittee to Eleventh street and Grand
avenue, where fully $4,000 people were
massed.
Standing on the seat on the tallyho,
his overcoat collar turned up about his
throat, Mr.. Bryan spoke in part as fol-
lows: "Ladies ard gentlemen: Our op-
ponents tell US that we are going in the
face of natural laws. assert that the ad-
vocates of free coinage are the only peo-
pie in this campaign who base their ar
guments upon natural laws. applause
The law of supply and demand pertains
to the money question, and say when
you increase the demand for gold you
raise it's price, just as you raise the price
of anything else by increasing the demand
for it, and when you raise the price of
gold in gold standard country you lower
the price of all the products which are
measured by money. Great applause.)
sour opponents talk about q 30 cent
dollar. They refuse to recognize the fact
that opening our mints increases the de-
mand for silver and raises the price of
silver as measured by gold. If you want
more of any of the products of labor, you
can go out and bring them into existence,
but, ii you want more money, You can
not get out and create more money be-
oause the law prohibits it and fixes a
penalty, punishment in the penitentiary,
for any man who tries to create money
Therefore, the only way to bring money
into existence is to take charge Of the
government and by law open the minte
to permit the coinage of new money fol
the people to do business with" (Great
applause.
