CURRENT POLITICAL NOTES

.APPLETON.Wis., October 3O.-The towns
visited by VIM. ]. Bryan, the democratic
presidential candidate, in the badger state
this morning were literally decked with yel-
low. Not since he left the Ohio river val
ley has he encountered crowds SO antag-
onistic to his views. There were a large
nunIb ber Of white ribbons worn by his hear
ers, but the majority of the people address,
ed by him at the first few stops this morn
ing did not hesitate to show their prefer
ence for the yellow metal.
Mr.. Bryan's Remarks.
At Green Bay Mr.. Bryan addressed a
crowd of several thousand persons. There
was not much enthusiasm at the start, but
before the nominee had concluded his
speech his audience was applauding him
literally. He spoke from a platform in
Whitney Park. Ex-Governor Peck intro
ducing him. Mr.. Bryan said:
I'VE believe that the people are suffering
from the effects of a gold standard. That
standard was fastened upon this country
more than twenty years ago, without pub
lie discussion. The very fact that the peo-
pie knew nothing about It, the fact that
their consent was not asked nor their wish
es expressed, ought to be sufficient to make
the people investigate the cause of the de-
monetiZation Of silver.
This city, l believe, was the nome OF
Senator Howe. and he. in speaking upon
this subject, expressed himself with an
emphasis which l cannot surpass. His
language in regard to the effects of the
single gold standard ought to call to the
attention of the people of this neighbor-
hood that subject so that they will investi-
gate it for themselves.
Senator HOwe's Position.
But I remember Senator Howe for
another reason. If I am not mis- staken. 1t
was Senator Howe who was one of the
principal advocates of the income tax at
the time it was abolished. back in the sew
enties. If you will read what he says
about the Justice Of the income tax, you
will then understand why 1t is We believe
that an income tax is still proper in tris
country, and, my friends, while l am on
this subject, If anybody ever tells you that
we haven't treated the Supreme Court as
ge ntly as we ought to, l want you to find
out who the man is who criticises what We
say.
You will find that the people who are
best satisfied with the income tax decision
are the people with large incomes, who
are shirking their duties to the govern
ment and trying to secure it's protection
without paying their share of the taxes.
(Applause)
you will find that the men who are so
anxious that nothing shall be said against
the income tax decision are men who at
tack every court and every decision that
is against them, and never show respect
for law or anything else unless it is of ad-
vantage to them to do so. (Cheers)
The Making OF Contracts.
1--WE declare against contracts payable
in particular kind of money We are in
favor of legislation which, for the future,
will prevent the making of special con-
tracts, and our reason for it is that money
is a thing necessary to our society. and If
we have two kinds Of money 1t is desirable
that they should be floating together.
IF contracts are made payable in par
ticuar kind of money and if you have
enough of those special contracts you Gre
ate an extra demand for one kind of money
and you drive 1t to premium and de-
stroy the parity between your money.
do not believe that any individual should
defy the government and attempt to de-
stroy the governments financial policy"
Short stops were made at Depere and
Kaukana and there also a liberal
amount of yellow ribbons displayed. Mr..
Bryans speeches were along the same
line as those given by him elsewhere.
