from Wall and Lombard streets when
those mtn have no heart and know
nothing but force. Greed and avarice
have no heart. | DON'T believe Ameri-
can people are willing 70 take out oil
their own hands their alb. lity to take
care of the afairs ofthis government
Opponents say thay are in favor Of
honest money. fla man is honest in
one thing he is apt TO be koneat n all
things. But he could not bring him
self to believe that men would ieIi the
American people the truth, as they
want to say what sound money is after
you have given them the power which
they will keep alWays. Sound money,
he said, was just 10 debtor and to
creditor, and further defined sound
money My friends, when you find a
witness who discloses everything you
"iil believe that witness, but one who
, eyades, covers up his words, yod
cannot helieTt him honest OR oppo-
lcnts are not taking the Anne ican
/ people into their confidence. They
want you to have confidence in chem
but they have none in you. They
either do not know what shou be
done, or will not tell the people. If
they know but won't tell then they are
dishonest. They offer no remedy.
There is no ground on which the oppo-
sition is willing to fight. All history
tells us that suffering only follows the
gold standard.
Referred to what Carlisle said. We
don't have to use extrava-
giant language; We simply use
the language of men worshipping
theN golden calf. Can you imagine
greater evil than the one described by
Carlisle. Think Of all the wars and
pestilences and miseries that have fol-
lowed in their wake since the earth be-
gan, and then this scheme entails more
than them all, and Carlisle spoke the
truth, and no tongue can describe the
misery in this proposition to chain the
people to this chariot of gold. | think
have seen some of this misery and |
elieve as Carlisle, said Mr.. Bryan, and
| would rather raise my voice against
this crime than hold all the offices in
the government. Our opponents say
the only men who will profit are the
mine owners. They have no concep-
ton Of the greatness Of this subject.
They are like the man who wondered
at the size of a frog pond before he has
seen the vast ocean. If we have the
universal gold standard it means that
all our money must be drawn from the
gold mines. Gold used in the arts is
increasing each year. The time has
been reached, SO say some, that the
gold is now all needed in the arts and
leaves no money for the use of man
kind.
Oar opponents say we will soon need
no money. 1t remiaded him of the /
Mai. who took the water gradually |
fon a fish he had in a jar, that the
fish did not detect it. He then took
the fish out OF jar and put him in a
bird cage and then an attendant put a
of water in there, but the fish
put his head in the saucer and drowned,

Gold standardS means that deposits
must decrease or reserve fund must in
crease and make deposits decrease.
Opponents do not propose any in
crease in the olume of money, but to
it. He said he must leave the
question with the people. He had to
make only short speeches.
If you believe in the gold standard
don't vote for me, but if you believe in
The free coinage of silver | am entitled
TO that support as you need not be

Mr.. Bryan then thanked the audience
ior their attention and was escorted by
Mr.. Fred Woodland, julie Carr, Jose
ohus Daniels and others Of the escort
committee 10 the train, which left in a
short while for Wilson.
