about and believes what he says.
Great cheering.) The time has now
come for you to sit in judgment as
sovereignS of the greatest nation on
earth, and all that we ask of you is
that you shall make your votes rep
resent what you believe. The cause of
bimetallism has grown every day of
this campaign. (Cheers.) There has
not been one backward step. (Cheers.)
There has not been a single moment
when there was cessation in the prog
ress of the cause, and why? Because
our cause is just and our arguments
unanswerable. Great cheering)
claim no credit for the work that has
been done. Bimetallism has not grown
dacy has prospered because l attached
myself to principle which is right.
APPEALS TO ALL.
MY friends, bimetallism appeals to
all. Our opponents have accused US
OF arraying class against class, and
yet to them belongs the discredit of
making more appeals to class and sec
tlonal prejudice than any party has
ever done in the past. (Great cheering.)
They have tried to array the money
Ioaner against the man who borroWS
money; they have tried to array the
merchant against his customers;
they have tried to array the wage
earners of this country against the
farmers and the fnanciers against the
rest of the people, and the soldiers
against their country. Great cheer
mS.) There is not a class to which
they have not appealed. Aye, they
have even gone into religion and have
appealed to missionary societies and
to chur h Joards, and told them that
the free Coinage of silver would lessen
the vain IF fhair, inv re.
fCheers.) ny friends, our appeal has
cen to the great producing masses,
and to those who believe that the pros
perity of the nation must begin with
those who toll and find its way up
ward through the other classes of So
clety. (Wild cheering)
We have tried to apply the doc
trine of bimetallism to all of the peo-
pie of this country, and we insist that
there is only one class of people who
Deneht by the gold standard and that
IS the class which trades in money and
owns money and grows rich as the
people grow poor. (Great cheering.)
'Bimetallism appeals to the farmers
of this nation because they have suf-
fered from falling prices, while their
DEBTS ana taAes refuse to fall (chesrs),
anc we are trying to restore bimctal-
hSn; and then maintain the parity be-
tween Il dollar and property. (Great
cheerlng.) Bimetallism is good for the
wage Garner, because it makes it more
profitable to invest money in enter
prises and in the employment of labor
than to lock it Up in a vault and gain
the rise in the value Of dollars (Great
cheering.) Bimetailisn gives to the
laboringman an opportunity to work,
and we point to the fact that in all the
times past, a laboringman has been
more prosperous when two jobs Of
work were looking for one man than
when two men were looking for one
JOB of work Great cheering) BIZ
metallism appeals to the business men
in this country because failures, in
creasing everywhere, testify to the
fact that the merchant cannot sell
when people are not able to buy. (Great
cheering) We want to increase the
consuming capacity of the American
people and have money in the country
for the people to get when they sell
their crops, and to spend in the pur-
chase of food and clothing for their
families. The gold standard has separ-
ated the mouth from the money to bur
food for it. II has separated the back
TO be clothed from the purse that
contains the money to buy the cloth
Ing.
TO CLOSE THE GAP.
eve want to close the gap between
gold and silver and also want to close
the gap between need and money to
supply the needs of the human race.
(Cheering.) Bimetallism appeals to
the professional man, because the pro-
fessional man lives upon those who
produce the wealth of this country
and upon those who exchange wealth.
and if he destroys the foundation he
destroys his own prosperity. (Cheers.)
appeals to the soldier be-
cause the soldier who was willing to
give his life if need be to make this !
one nation, will give his vote this year
to make this nation an independent
nation, and not a province of a foreign
empire. Great cheeriEg) Our cause /
appeals to the minds of those who /
think and the hearts of those who feel, I
while the gold standard, when rightly |
appeals only to those who |
love money more than they do man |
kind. CWild cheering.) I want you to !
that no evil was ever re- /
formed by those who profited by the |
evil; that no bad law was ever re- |
realed by those who obtained the bene- |
fit of the bad law; that no vicious sys-
tenn was ever corrected by those who !
profited by the vicious system; and |
so in this campaign, the people who |
have grown rich from the gold stand |
ard have banded themselves to main
tain 1t and we must appeal to those /
who have suffered in order to obtain |
relief from the gold standard. Great |
,heering) Now. my. friends, we have |
-ried to make an appeal TO the people |
IF this country. l have tried to q ID my
share of the work. (Cries of Yes, you
lave.'D l have worked as hard as I
could, and yet 1 don't want you to |

My hand has been used until it is
sore, but yet it can handle a pen to
;ign a free coinage bill if I am elected.
Great cheering and cries of You will

ical strength to stand between the
people, if they elect me, and the Wal;

,heering.)
You are elected" shouted a voice.
More wild cheering)
A DANGEROUS MAN.
Mr.. Bryan: MY friends, you have
)een told that I am a dangerous man.
Laughter.) There is nothing in my
vast life, either public or private, that
ustifies any citizen in saying that nv
lection would be q menace to law and
rider or to our form of government.
II to the welfare of society: but there
S much in what l have said and done
O create a suspicion that my election
would be a menace to those who have
