which may be intended to be n conserva-
tive body, may be a revolutionary body,
we take comfort in the fact that we can
rely upon the patriotism, upon the wis
dom and upon the fearlessness OF the
judiciary. (Applause.) The man who
makes il his business in public or pri-
vate life to destroy the confidence of the
people in the judiciary is public ene-
my. (Applause.) 1t is a cowardly thing
to do. 1t is the next meanest thing to
whispering something about the charac-
ter of woman; and nothing on earth
can be meaner than that. (Applause)
1t is the next thing to it, to pass UNI
friendly comment and impeachment upon
judges, and the integrity of their pur-
poses; because a judge cannot come
down from the bench and resent an in
suit like that. l say the people in this
election ought to see to IL that no Presi-
dent is elected upon n platform which
calmly proposes, by unmistakable sug-
gestion, to make the Supreme court Of
the United States, and other courts in
our system, the mere football of politics,
the mere tool of passions (Applause.)
II think Mr.. Bryan thus far in his
talks-and he says, / understand, that
he never sees a crowd without wanting
to talk TO it-and l sympathize with him
n little in that respect: | used to feel that
way myself QauGhter), but it was when
l was good deal younger than l am
now, and didn't know great deal;
when l was about 80 years old Qaugh-
teri, although l never expect to know
as much as | thought L knew then
Qaughter)-Mr, Bryan in his speeches
has not much to say about this packing
of the Supreme court, but it is in their
platform. That fact itself is another
reason which justifes the Democrats
of character and responsibility in re-
volt against the nomination made and
platform promulgated at Chicago"

Anon BIll BRYAN, may his tribe decreasef
Awokc one night from deep dream or
peace;
And saw within the moonlight or ms rooms
Making IL rich and silyer-like I'm bloom,
An angel writing In book OF gold;
Exceeding gall had made Bill Bryan bold.
And TO the presence In the room he said:
"What wrlfest thou?" The vision raised
It's head.
And. with a look of what he might expect
Answered, "Thelr names who'll get II In
the neck" -
"And am ! one?" asked Abou. II don't
know
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerIly still, and said, II pray thees
sir,
Write me as one not liable to err"
The angel wrote and vanished. The next
night
II came again with n great November light.
And showed the names OF those Knocked gar

And 10! BIZ Bryan's name led all the rest!

Bryan for Fiat Money.


EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER.
Mr.. Bryan at heart cares nothing for
the free coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan
is first and last believer in fat money,
and he is only using the free coinage
of silver to arrive at that finally. This
is a serious charge to make, but if
cannot prove it / will apologize publicly
for it.
In the September number of the Arena
just last month-there is an article on
the currency by Mr.. Bryan, in which
he criticises Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds in time of peace, and espe-
cially for selling them to a syndicate.
He says: "When the United States,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation, opens its minis TO
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio OF
16 to l it will bring real relief to it's peo-
pie, and will lead the way to the restora-
ton of bimetallism throughout the world.
1t will then be prepared to perfect its
financial system by furnishing a paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties and sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. Its paper
money will not be loaned then to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government, so that all may receive
the benefits"
This is fat money, pure and simple.
Mr.. Bryan proposes to stop taxation and
pay the expenses of the government by
printing fiat money. This government
once launched upon that boundless sea
would as certainly fall and go down as
did the French republic, which was set
up at the close of the last century by
lot of theorists and reyolutionists.
They issued during few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fiat money
called aSSipnatS and mandats They
gave a legal-tender quality to it, but
while it could pay debts they could
not compel people to take it in pur-
chase. In other words, they could give
legal-tender quality to the money, but
they could not give purchasing power
to it. From day to day it was issued,
until finally it all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not a single franc of it was
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
who had parted with their property
for it were rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was valueless.
Shall this be a lesson to us? And
can we contemplate the probability OF
putting into power as President of the
United States a man who holds such
views? In my humble opinion there is
but one way to bring us back to prosper
ity and to the path of progress, and that
is to return to the system of admins
tration which has been of such great
benefit to us in the past, and to follow
in that path, to follow the lamp of eX-
perience. TO do that every true, honest
American citizen, without distinction OF
party, should unite in this attempt at
restoration, and should by an overwhelm-
ing ma jority stamp out now and forever
the heresy and the folly of a cheap and
debased currency.

means of securing its benefits is to o,i re,

and disguised and turning to the new trade
unionism of the socialists. 1t was explained
that this differed from the pure and simple
trade unions in that it had for its motto:
the complete overthrow of capitalism and
exacted pledge from its members to vote
only for candidates pledged to the sociaiistlc
party's platform.
The only roast of Minneapolis labor leaders
occurred when the speaker quoted George
Never national president of the stonecutters'
union, as having said: "a labor convention
is good thing-for me. as an honored del
egate have my expenses paid, get railway

labor people"
The sneaker claimed that dishonest leader
ship would disappear under the programme
outlined by the Socialists, and even admitted
that some of the existing trade unions are all
right. Just before closing his remarks, Mr..
De Leon stated that he would be willing to
answer any questions but hoped the question
ers would confine themselves TO what ne nad
mentioned In his speech.
AS Mr. De Leon waited for questions a so
cialist in the back part Of the hall rose and
commenced an attack on Eva Mcdonald, say
ing that in her European correspondence pub
lished in the Tribune and other papers she
had criminally misrepresented the facts In re-
gard to such people and calling upon her to
Mrs. Valesh replied that she thought Min
neapolis audiences knew that she was not
afraid to defend herself, but out OF difference to
the expressed wish OF Mr.. De Leon that the
questions should refer to his lecture, she must
decline to take his time and that of his audi
ence but would be pleased to describe her
European investigations and answer all ques-
lions II the socialists would call meeting for
that purpose. Another socialist wished to
have motion passed giving Mrs. Valesh the
privilege Of the meeting, but the chairman
ruled that her position had been well taken
and the audience should ask their questions
of Mr.. De Leon.
The speaker answered several questions and
the meeting adjourned. 1r
