MANIFESTO BY BRYAN
TELLS HIS FOLLOWERS NOT TO
BE DISCOURAGED.
Says Himself and Wife Find Com.
pcnsation for What They Have
Done I'm The Loyo of Millions of
PeOple-Other News Items.
Manifesto by Bryan


Mr.. Bryan gives out the following:
"Conscious that millions, Of loyal hearts
are saddensd by temporary defeat, 1 beg
20 offer a word Of hope and encourage
ment. No cause has ever had such a
brave, earnest and devoted following as
those who %espoused the cause OF bimetal-
1ism. They fought from conviction, and
fought with all the zeal that conviction
inspires. Having done their duty rs they
saw it, they have nothing to regret.
"The republican candidate has been
heralded as tho advance agent of pros-
perity. If his policies bring real pros
perity to the American people these who
opposed him will share that prosperity.
II, on the other hand, his policies prove
an injury to the American people gener-
ally, those of his supporters who do not
belong to the oficeholding or privileged
classes will suffer in common with those
who opposed him.
1.-The friends of bimctallism have not
been vanquished; they have simply been
overcome. They believe the gold stand-
ard is a conspiracy Of the money changers
against the welfare of the human race,
and until convinced OF their error Will
continue a warfare against it.
sin spite of the efforts of the admins
tration and its supporters, in spite of the
threats of the money loaners at home and
abroad, in spite of the coercion practiced
by corporations and employees, in.spite of
trusts and syndicates, in spite of the enor-
NOUS Republican campaign funds, in
-..Az - A..
press, bimetallism energies from the con-
test stronger than 1t was four months
ago."
He expressed thanks to the Democratic
Populist and Silver committees. He says
his defeat brings no feeling OF personal
loss. For himself and wife he says they
find full compensation for what they have
done in the love of millions Of fellow cit-
liens. He calls ON all silver clubs to re-
tain their organization, continue the study
Of the financial question, and be prepared
for o campaign again.
