ing that is foreign. are willing to trust
heir all In this republic. and rise or fall
fith It. (Applause)
My friends. want you to remember
that in this campaign those who advo-
cate the free coinage of silver are the
only ones who have system of finance
that they are willing to lay before the
+American people We are demanding
free coinage of silver as we have free
coinage Of gold; we are demanding un-
limited coinage of silver as we have un-
limited coinage of gold; we are demand
Ing coinage at 16 to 1. the very ratio that
me- have today. We are not asking that
(. The silver dollar be changed, nor that the
-Epjd dollar be changed; but that the
American people shall have an oppor-
tunity to have both gold dollars and sill
yer dollars to do their business with.
sfApplause)
A voice-How about the 5s-cent dol
lArs?
Mr.. Bryan--Well now. my friends,
have known people who have been with
out dollars so long that 50-cent dollar
would bea godsend to them. daughter
and applause) My friends, they did not
call the silver dollar a 53-cent dollar
when silver was treated like gold. Prior
tot1S73 the silver dollar was dollar and
three cents, measured by gold. They
told us htat they wanted to get rid of
the silver dollar because it was too good.
and now they do not want to bring it
back because it is not good enough.
(Applause) They told US that they
wanted to demonetize it for fear it will
come back. (Applause) When our
mints were open to the free coinage Of
gold and silver on equal terms we did
not have any trouble about silver being
q cheap dollar, and when we open our
mints again to silver on an equal footing
with gold there will be nobody to COM
plain of 53-cent dollars, because sill
yer dollar will be worth as much as
gold dollar her and anywhere in the
world. (Applause.)
Now, my friends, money is matter CT
law. You can make it scarce If you want
to make it dear. If you are-tired on see
ing too much money all you have to do
is to lessen the volume, then the guam
tity will not trouble you so much. If
money Is so plentiful that you do not
like to see it as often as you do now,
i will promise that ii You vote the Re
publican. ticket you will not be troubled
by seeing too much money for the nexz
four years. s(Applause) We have
>$150. 900 less in. circulation today, ac-
cording to the treasurer's report than
we had two years ago; and we have noc
got the volume down low enough; you
can get it down lower still by continuing
the financial policy allowing syndicates
to run this government and substituting
bonds on the people instead of money
in the pockets Of the people. (Applause.)
Call it ''Pennsylvapia system" If you
will. 1t only does honor to Pennsylvania
and her craftsmanship, for it benefits
all laborers and farmers in all parts of
the union. Why should we not do all our
work and spend all our own wages at
home, giving both farmers and working
men the richest rewards for their labor
of any country under the sun? Answer
that, my fellow citizens applause and
cries of ''Give us proteetion.')
The gold standard idea is an i'm
ported idea (applause), and, my friends,
] care not whether you attempt to re-
strain 1t by high tariff or low tariff,
/ shall not be content until 1t shall be
driven back and find no more home in
our midst (Applause) This contest
upon which we are entering is not a tenn
porary fight. Some of our Democratic
friends who have worked with US in
the past tell us that in this campaign
they will either work with the Republi-
cans or stop half way between our
ranks and the Republican ranks until
r.rh 10, 1,a
other half and declare themselves Re-
publicanA
My friends, any man who is intelli-
gent Is presumed to intend that which
is the logical and natural consequence
of his own act. In this campaign, where
on the one side are arrayed the great
common people and on the other side
all those trusts and combinations and
syndicates which prey upon the peo-
pie, there is no middle ground. Those
who are not with us are against us,
and, my friends, I want to say to you
that no matter how distinguished
Democrat may be, the Democratic par
ty is better off without the men who be-
lieve in Republioanism as it is taught
by the Republican party, than it would
be If they were among rs. (Great ap-
plause) They tell us that big Demo-
Gratis are leaving. There is one conso-
lation, my friends. and that is that whe.l
lation, my friends, and that is that
when a big Democrat breaks into the
Republican party he makes a big hole
in the Republican party. daughter and
applause.) A hole so big that sixteen
little Republicans can get out. (Laugh-
ter and applause.) And, my friends
so far as Lam concerned, i would rather
have the support of Republican who
has been against us heretofore, but is
with us now, than to have the support
of a Democrat who has been with us
before, put VINO stands with us now
simply to use the Democratic party to
depart from the principles of the faith
ers. (Great applause.)
