desperation you make criminals out of men who under Just such conditions would be law abiding citizens
 The gold standard has nothing to defend it except the misery which has followed wherever 1t has been tried, We have commenced a warfare against the gold standard. We invite you to join with us now. (Cries of We will. No Yale men here.")
 "If you do not join with us now and we are defeated this year we will eX- tend the invitation until a majority of the people of this country do join With us. While our opponents are spreading literature by the ton, the people are Joining in the crusade for the restora- tion of blemtallism. We have no great campaign fund with which to supply those who want to read with all the literature they would like to have. We are.doing the best we can and we shall continue to do the best we can with the means on hand We have not many great daily papers with us, but the time will come when the daily papers will be glad to furnish edi- torials that the people of this country
 
 short time with the newspaper busi- ness I do not underestimate the infiu ence of the newspaper, but in times like these the people go ahead of the newspaper when the newspapers re- fuse to lead.
 My friends, you who assemble here as the representatives of the great Bay state have your part in the fight which we now have on hand and am glad that so great an army has so gallant a leader as George Fred Will Hams. In Chicago, when the state of Massachusetts was called there were three who responded for silver. (Cheers.) If we had another national convention, if I can judge from the sentiment expressed here, there would not only be three delegates for silver, but every delegate would respond to the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. (Great cheering.)
 MT. Sewall stepped upon a chair be- side MT. Bryan, who introduced him in the following words:
 Fellow citizens: I introduce to you a man Who way up in Maine, was will ing to stand for free coinage when his nelghbors were against it. I introduce to you a man who was in favor of an income tax, although he had to pay it. | (Cheers.) I introduce to you a man who did not bow the knee or worship the golden calf. (Cheers) I introduce Arthur Sewall, the democratic candi- date for vice president"
 MT. SeWall was received with loud ap- plause and spoke briefly. Said he:
 Tt is with great satisfaction to me | that you have had this opportunity to see the great leader of the democratic party, your candidate for president. And I may say it is great satisfaction to me to let you know that his associate | is still on the ticket Applause. ) Some have asked whe ther I was on the ticket or not. I am glad of the oppor- tuntty to show you that your nominee for vice president will not decline un- | til after election on the 3d of Novem- Der. We are in this fight to stay This fight is between the people on one side the producers of wealth, the defend | CTS of our country against the pros porous classes as we are told by the other party, the money parties.
 And I could not tell you when such parties are arrayed against each other who will win. There is only one ques- tion between these parties. There are only two parties to-day, one for the people, one for the producer, one for the laborer of this country and the other for the gold standard which is behind the intrenchments where you will find | |, the enemies of the people. l ask how can the pribce of labor be maintained and increased without you first main tain and increase the price of the prod ucts of labor It is too simple propo- sition almost to discuss. I tell you the labor of this country is more in- terested in this question than any other party"
