therefore of absolute necessity that free
government representative in its character
drawing its life from the people should in
turn afford to the people secure means of
education. Hence it is most prudent and
wise that the State, raising funds by public
taxation for public benefit, should accord
q high place among the public needs to the
great and important demands Of the edu-
cation of the people. The power of tax
alton should be freely used and public
funds should be freely expended to obtain
80 desirable an end as the free education of
citizens. hope never TO see the day when
the United States of America will not
provide a public school for every COM
munity; will not have desk for every
child, and will not have good and virtuous
teachers to impart instruction to the chill
dren who are expected to contribute their
share in their day and generation toward
the perpetuity of the Republic.
Although favoring public schools, i,
would not depreciate the value of private
instruction. trust the day will never
come when narrow councils will prevail in
the matter of public policy. If the ednca-
tion of the citizen is beneficial to the State,
the State oughtneser TO be offended If that
educa ton and instruction is impaired by
private enterprise. Therefore, while we
applaud the system Of public schools, we
should not permit our enthusiasm for that
system of instruction to blind us 10 the
merits Of those higher institutions, colleges
and academies carried on by private enter
prise contributing to the education Of our
people
rejoice to notice tonight the intense
interest in which the cause Of education is
held in your community It betoksns an
appreciation Of the best duties Of the hour.

AT BAL1lM ORE.


Baltimore. Sept. 19.-William ]. Bry-
an spoke here tonight TO the two larg-
est crowds ever present at a political
meeting in this city. His speech was
made In the open air. and conservative
estimates place the number of people
who heard II at 10000.
The second meeting was held In Mu-
sic hall. the largest auditorium In Bal
timore, and the house was packed un-
Ill women tainted and many had to be
removed before the speaking could
proceed. This arose from the fact that
the local committee had issued tickets
to the number OF almost $4,000 when
the capacity OF the hall Is scant $500
Mr. Bryan reached here in a special
car from Washington at 7:i5 p. m. and
was driven TO a temporary platform
erected three squares away In the
plaza on Mount Royal avenue, In front
of the new station OF the Baltimore a.
Ohio railway. He reached the plat
form about O'Clock and was greeted
with tremendous cheers from thou
sands who had gathered there. Just
as he barred his head in acknowledge
ment of the greeting. a slight rain be-
gan to fall, which increased to a brisk
shower as he proceeded. His voice was
not clear, the strain OF the past few
days having evidently told upon H..
Pale Of face. with great beads Of pers-
piration standing upon his forehead.
Mr.. Bryan created the impression of a
man who had tested his powers Of en-
durance to their fullest capacity. His
speeches were mainly a repetition of
those he has made during his tour
through the South.
His first address lasted barely 20
minutes, after which he went to Music
hall, where as many of the crowd as
could get in followed him. Congress-
man Rusk. chairman OF the democrat
ic committee, introduced him. At the
conclusion of his speech at Music hall
Mr.. Bryan returned to Washington.

held the closest attention of his many

many Of the telling points OF his speech
were heartily cheered.
Mr.. Smith said In part: Party lines

that the present financial policy must

cannot change our present system.
The other platform is emphatic in its
declaration In favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of l6 to I, In this country independent
OF the action or wish OF any other gov
ernment. The one Is a platform and
declaration of dependency upon the
wishes of the crowned plutocracy OF
Europe; the other Is a declaration Of
financial independence. The one ad-
vocates a European policy, the other
declares for an American policy Of fin-

These general propositions may be
stated without fear of contradiction.
The price or value Of money when con-

kind OF property depreciates or dimi-

volume OF currency. The value OF any
class Of property rises except money.
