Mr.. BRYAN's SPEECH
Mr.. Bryan said, among other things Il
shall carry back TO the people of the West
the news-not the news either, because Il
is no longer news-that the Chicago plat.
form is supported, indorsed not by thu
West and South alone, but by all the toll
ing millions Of the East as well. (Great
applause)
The republican platform does not say
that gold standard is a good thing There
are those who are supporting the republi. !.
can party who believe that the gold stand.
ard Is a good thing, but they have not the
courage TO risk the issue before the people
who have suffered from gold standard.
(Applause)
We must judge people not by their
words, but nv -, acts. Our opponents
tell Us that They ~ try to secure an in
tern nstional agreement and that they simp
ly want TO maintain gold standard until
other nations will help us 10 let go IL.
daughter and applause.
Can you trust the people who wrote the
st. Louis platform tn restore bimeIallism?
Never until you can wipe out the Scrip.
lures and gather figs from th"rns and
thistles. (Applausel
Those who are responsible for the gold
standard ere not the ones Ia whom we look
for deliverance. AS well might you have
asked Pharaoh 20 lead the children Of L.
rael out of bondage as 10 ask the republi.
can party 10 break the shackles Of gold
standard. (Applause)
The democratic party Is opposed TO
gold standard; not only opposed To IL, IL Is
unalterably opposed 10 IL; it is 30 much op-
posed TO it that il will not permit the Amer
lean people 10 be bound by II though eve
ry nation ON earth shall demand IL. ZAP.
plausel We did not achieve Independence
for the purpose of bowling TO the yoke Of
any foreign power. (Applause)
Let me suggest two or three questions
for you 10 put 20 your opponents. They
are not new questions; have suggested
them before; shall suggest them again.
In the first place, il you find man who Is
opposed TO the democratic platform, ask
him IL he believes in a gold standard: If he
says he does, tell him he Is man without
party, because no party in the United
States ever declared for gold standard.
tApplause.D
There sre people in this country who
had not studied the money question until
the Chicago con Jon persons who sup
posed, Of coura because they had been
reading the Eag \ newspapers that the
gold standard mus be all right, but when
they go. TO stut ng the question they
found out that The arguments which sup.
port bimetalism are based upon the solid
rock OF truth, and they have been coming
over 10 the cause of bimetallism with rap
idity never known before in the history Of
the United States. (Applause.)
The arguments in favor of bimetallism
are directed toward the intellect OF the man
who thinks and 20 the heart of the man
who feels The gold standard argument is
directed to the pocketbook of the man who
wants to live while others die Great APP
