We want dollars that are not SO gcCd thar
We cannot get hold of them when we have
heat ard corn to sell. The interest of the
farmer is not the same as the interest of
the money changer. They tell us not to ar
ray one class of society against another
We are not. They are the ones who are
sIraying classes
Il call your attention to the fact that
the Republican committee of this town has
sent letters to lady school teachers show
ing them what their interest in this ques-
ton is. In calling the attention of the
school teachers TO the fact that a go!fd

Talk of arraying one class against an
other | want to ask you why II Is lhtt
every man who is interested in a syndicate
or a trust or has salary from rallTodl
corporation that is more than MS otheT
property-I want to ask why they are en-
arTayed against the Democratic party.
Why is it? 1t is because the Democratic
party has declared against the issue OF
bonds in time of peace and the traflcklng
with syndicates. 1t is because the Demo-
cratic party is opposed to the trusts ana
the prices which the trusts have instituted.
1t is because the Democratic party believes
in the control. regulation and the reStrlc.
ton of all corporations so that they VIII
serve the purpose for winch they were di-
lowed to exist.
APPEAL TO PREJUDICE.
"If those connected with trusts are flock
ing together in the Republican party may
we not appeal to all the smaller business
men who have felt the iron heel of tie
trust and who have been driven out OF
business by it's unlawful competition! IL
we are to lose the attorneys of these great
trusts may we not appeal with confidence
to the support of the people who have been
plundered by these trusts while their at
torneys have received part of the plum
der? We are not responsible for the ar
raging of one class against another. The
Republican platform in the State of New
York said that we ought to have busi-
ness administration conducted by business
men in behalf of the business of the coun-
try. What do they mean by that? 10

Those people who have attempted to ar
ray a few of the people against the rest
of the people and who have insisted that
affairs Of this government should be put
in the hands of a few have been calling
disturbers Of the public peace and An
terms simply express the contempt which
they have for the great mass OF people CT

hands of the people who have created It's

Il am glad to see the number of people
that have assembled here this afternoon. L
am willing to defend the principles embod-
led in my platform, in Nebraska or IN New
York or anywhere else. but my friends,
when they attack me and call me dis
turber of the public peace and when they
say that / could not be trusted with the

have the toiers of my own city to meet

Mr. Bryan: 'If I can judge from what

Il want to say to you in this campaign,
as l have said to you in every campaign,
if there is one Democrat who believes that
the election of the Chicago ticket would be
injurious to his country we have no claim
upon his vote. l am one who has never

crat who believes that the success Of the
Chicago ticket would be injurious to his
country or to himself, | assure you that
L make my claim as a candidate to the
support of every man of every party who
believes that the success of the Chicago
ticket would be beneficial to this country
My friends. take this question and study
it. We are not afraid to have the people
study the money question. and those who
do study it are the persons who are bound
to be the new converts The very men who
have gone to work TO study the money

have become bimetallistS. AS / have said,
We want the people to study the money
question. We want them to apply their in
telliSence and patriotism to this question,
and we are willing to abide by the result.
My friends, to the gentlemen down in
New York | called attention to the fact that
sentiment was all on our side in this cam
paisn, and one man said that a man could
not write poem in favor of syndicates
running the business of this country. Do
you know what word rhymes with syndi-
cate? 1t is hate, and you cannot write q
poem and you cannot sing a song in favor
policies of this Nation, because, while their
policy applies to hate, the man who thinks
and the heart of the man who feels the
force of the financial policy that has
been forced upon this country, which they
want to continue until foreign nations come
that appeals to the pocketbook and over
shadows the appeal to the best feeling of
man.
Now I must stop or I will make a
speech. You know that / would hate aw-
fully to have the New York papers say that
l had driven an audience away in my own
town. Now / want to bid you good-day.
