business man to use, and ne tells you
that II he can just have q god standard
rev nnanciers can hold the gold and the
business man can use confluence in the
place OF money. loud cheers and laugh
teri But you tell him that the farmer,
the laboring man and the business man
don't want the gold standard; tell MIN
they are willing 10 risk whatever evil
comes from bimetailism, and he rises to
the full height if his moral stature and
says: But shall let those people hurt
themselves? Naughter) No, will ram
the gold STANDARD down their threats
whether they want it or not because [
love them So cloud laughter and
cheers) My friends you may believe
THIS SORT OF STUFF
If You want TO. but when they tell me
they want gold standard just because
they think it helps somebody. | 90 not
Deneve what they say. (Cheers0
My friends, l do not know what these
gold standard advocates might have SAID
IL your presence but l know that some
of them have tired to say that the New
York tinanciers would make great
pIOlL out or Tree coinage, but that lIley
don't want to allow themselves TO make
that profit. (LaughterD W hen they tel
me that the hnanciers would profit by
free coinage, then, my friends, l make up
my mind that the Time has come when
the masses of the people could pay back
a debt of gratitude which they have been
longing TO pay for twenty years. These
they have been legislating for the good
of the people-even 10 the neglect of them
selves. | do not think that we ought to
permit them TO make this sacrifice for US

TYRANNY.
Maintaining, as he has done in peryious
speeches, that free coinage would De good
Tor the IarIner, the idborer and the Dus-
mess man, Mr.. Bryan said that there was
NO tyranny more calling than the tyr
amy OF plutocracy; no tyranny so des-
pouc as the tyranny of those fnanciers
who attempt TO ROB men of their right to
vote and act, because they have signed
ihelr name 10 a note.
i know men who have been threatened
Win bankruptcy II they did not surren-
DER their convictions 10 this monied aris-
tocracys" he added. Il have been touched
BY the intensity OF the feeling among
the people and well may they feel deeply
my frienos. because if this monied aris-
tocracy has a right to dominate cleo
tons and control policies then free gov
ernment, as known by the fathers, viii
cease 10 exist in the United States"
Great cheering)
Continuing, Mr. Bryan said:
want 10 call your attention to the
unique situation. You had speaking in
your midst TO-DAY, man who says ne is
going to vote for the Republican ticket
because Mir. Cochran, who spoke here to-
day has openly and boldly declared his
intention OF voting the Republican ticket
ana Yet man VINO openly says that he
Is gong 10 vote the Republican ticket is
sent around over the country by men
who are calling themselves sound money
Democrats, and who pretend to be sup
porting another ticket. Great cheeringD
am not cTiticising Mr.. Cockrans dec
laration that he viii vote the Republican
tieket; out 1 ask you whether in all the
history of this country, you ever knew
political party that employed a man to
make speeches under its auspices when
they knew that he was not going TO vote
Tor the ticket which they SAID they were
friends ] call your attention TO it be-
cause 1 want TO show you
WHAT A TRANSPARENT FRAUD
the boiting Democratic organization is
II IS all the characteristics OF g. goI6bug
Republican, except courage to vote for
the republican ticket. l call your at
tenton to another thing, ard that is that
instead of declaring themselves gold
standard men they cali themselves adyo-
Gates OF Sound money because they are
ashamed to use the name even that de-
ScrioeS their position. Great aDpIauseO
instead OF saying they are for gold. they
prate about an honest dollar when thew
know that the gold dollar is the most
dishonest dollar in the land today, and
they love it most when il is most dis
honest. Great applause)
Mr.. Bryan left Grafton on his special

Clarksburg an hour later He sDent

of j. T. McGraw, national comnI.tee-

At the fair grounds Mr.. Bryan said
in part:
4 want to quote to you, Tot from
Democratic authority, but from what
the great leader, the Republican candi-
date for president, said this year with
what he said SIX years ago with re-
gard to the necessity for an increasing
circulation. You viii find in his letter
of acceptance Of this year this state
ment: 1t is not more money we want
What we want is to put the money we
already have at work.
NOW remember, ny friends. that
these words were uttered at a time
when the circulating medium had fallen
off $50. 0.GG0 IN TWO years. Let ne
compare that with what he said six
years ago, when, instead of having 3
decreasing volume of currency we had
an increase of about $4,000, 900 every
year. At that time they were trying to
