SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. Nv. j.
Bryan awoke at Owosso this morning,
refreshed and in good condition to con-
tinue his record breaking trip through
Michigan. He started speech making
at o'clock at st. Johns. His voice was
in good condition and as he expressed 1t,
he was ready to do another days work
such as that of yesterday and to throw
in half a dozen more addresses Of good
measure.
At Flint Mr.. Bryan said in part; One
of your young bankers called farmer
into his office and told him that If I was
elected his mortgage would be lore
closed, and the farmer replied to MIN
that if Mckinley was elected he could
have the farm but If I was elected ne
could not foreclose the mortgage be-
cause then he would be able to pay the
mortgage. This is a great city for the
manufacture Of carriages and wagons
and buggies. I want to ask those who
make wagons to think for while and
see whether they sell their wagons to
the farmer or the financier, and II tney
sell their wagons to the farmer, want
them to figure out how farmer can BUY
more wagons when he gets less for MS
products. want those who sell wagons
to farmers to realize for one moment
their prosperity depends on the FARMERS
who buy wagons and not on the hnan-
ciers who charge interest on the money
that makes wagons.
If YOU sell buggies,I want to ask you
whether you are interested In selling
more buggies than you do now. II you
are. YOU can sell more buggies when
more people are able to buy buggies.
When YOU lessen the number of people
who can buy buggies you have got to
lessen the product of your buggy lac
tories, and when you make less ougsles
YOU can employ fewer men making pug
sies: when you employ less men making
buggies your storekeepers have less
people to sell their goods to. My friends,
we are able to meet the arguments OF our
opponents, and the best evidence that
they have lost faith in their cause. that
they have lost faith in the logic or their
position, in the justice of the gold stand
ard. IS to be found in the fact that In
stead of submitting their cause to the
Judgment of the people they have resort
ed to coercion and intimidation in order
to secure by force that Whlch they Cali
not secure by reason.
l am willing to submit any question:
however great, to the people OF the
limited States, and am willing TO aplde
by their decision.
Union park race course had great
crowd inside the enclosure when Mr.
BRYAN arrived to day. The grand stand
was filled and the track Immediately IN
front was one dense throng. They were
hacked in so tightly that several women
tainted and were passed out over the
heads of the assemblage. 1t W an en-
fhusiastic audience and MI. 4iryan's
sneech was punctuated with applause
and cheers. He discussed the money
issue N much the same manner as De-
fore. t. tended the plank in the Demo-
cratic platform declaring for the in
come tax by quoting from the dissenting
opinion of Justice Brown, and said that
before he could be declared an anarchist
an anarchistic badge would have to be
pinned on the coat Of one OF the judges
of the supreme court.
The quotations were: "While l have
no doubt that congress will flnd some
means of surmounting the present cri-
sis, my fear is that in some moment of
national peril this decision will rise up
to Illustrate it's will and paralyze its
arm"
Now, remember these words which l
am about to read: II hope 1t may not
prove thefrst step toward the subner-
eence of the liberties of the people in a
sordid despotism of wealth"
My friends, it was a Republican who
said that, judge of the supreme court
of the United States, and while J. am a
Democrat, l endorse what that Repub-
lican Judge said; and 1 think, my
friends, that the policy that lies behind
that decision means submergence of
ou liberties in sordid despotism of
wealth. And before anybody calls me
an anarchist for believing that l want
him to take an anarchists badge and
pin it on Justice Brown of the supreme
court.
Let me read some more of what he
says:
LAS l cannot escape the conviction
that the decision of the court in this
great case is fraught with immeasura-
BILE danger to the future of the country
and one that approaches the proportions
