we'll they might. Prices are going
down lower and lower; the cry of dis
tress comes from the miner, the farmer,
| the business man and from people in
| all walks of life. 1t is a most terrible
| cry; il is like that which in ages gone
by has preceded revolutions.
1T will not be revolution, however.
thank Cod" said the speaker, I'VE
| have the remedy which can always
avert revolution and you as freemen
will have an opportunity to use it next
Tuesday. (Great aDplause.) Go to
the polls and declare for William Jen-
nings Bryan (applause) and you are
using a better instrument than the
sword.
Major Mckinley stands on his front
porch at Canton and declares to the
people who are driven to him that he
stands for the farmer, and every grain
gambler in the land says Amen, we
will help and elect him. Mckinley
says he stands for sound money that
will benefit the laboring man and every
money lender and oppressor of honest
toll says he wants him. Such men as
Ingersoll and Breckenridge declare
him a Daniel come to judgment.
Oaughter). A man is generally known
by the company he keeps and Mr..
Mckinley, if he should have the for
tune of being elected president next
Tuesday cannot escape the obligations
to the money lender who helps to elect
him. If he is elected they will come
to him not to counsel but to demand"
Referring to flag day Mr.. Harris
said: Some political pharisees dur
ing the past week have held up the
flag and said to us behold, we shall
teach you how TO honor the flag. To-
day Old Glory has fluttered in the
breeze from millions of homes in this

emblem of a free American people.
Great cheering).
SENATOR CANNON.
Senator Frank j. Cannon received an
ovation and it was some moments be-
fore ne could proceed. He began by
telling how the handful of men who
bolted the st. Louis convention
anxiously awaited the decision of the
Chicago convention. 1t was too great
a miracle he said to expect the nomi-
nation of Teller, but almost as great
a miracle happened when their next
choice, w. ]. Bryan, was named
1T was but a miracle half accom-
plished," he continued, when the
whale swallowed Jonah, but its ac-
complishment came when Jonah was
cast upon the shore SO that he might
go back and preach to the people.
And so will the miracle of Bryan's
next Tuesday" (Great applause)
The speaker then recalled the en-
dorsement the people of Utah gave
the plank in the memorial of the trans
mississippi congress in 1894. DO you
know he said, this plank was almost
Identical with the Chicago platform of
1896? If it was true then it is true
Daxrnftro IN no
equal distribution of wealth the speaker
said we could not have a redistribu-
ton, but we can have such an adjust
ment as will give every man an equal
chance. Under the present system the
more we pay the more We owe; all on
account of falling prices.
I'VE want dollar that will honestly
measure what we produce, and not
what we are able to squeeze out of
England. We not only want a dollar
that shall be as spotless as our flag, but
a regard for honest toll as sDotless as
out national emblem. (Applause.) Nc
Kinley says it's not money the farmers
want, it's work. I asked farmer
in the Snake River valley in Idaho if
he wanted more work Why, Lord
bless you.' he replied, I am working
16 hours a day now; / want more
money; not work First, let us have
money, then as non-partisans we may
again separate as to the best method
of maintaining wages"
Senator Cannon denounced in force
full terms the cry of our over-produc-
ton. When the social reform shall
have been accomplished there would be
no such word.
II want to see bimetallism as first
step toward higher social civiliza-
tion," he said in closing. 'I am OPP
posed to the gold standard. Dearly as
I love protection I will vote against it
every time il coupled with the gold
standard" (Great applause.)
