of their attack.
II know that In this campaign there
has been resentment because men who
have In the past advocated one doctrine

RATE OF DISCOUNT.
II want to call your attention to an
other thing before taking up any dis
cussion of any particular phase OF tho
money question. / want TO ask you to
recall what you read In this mornings
paper. that the rate OF interest had been
raised per cent. by the Bank OF England.
The rate OF interest there now Is per
cent. 1t has been raised per cent. with
In six weeks. The Bank OF Germany has
raised the rate Of interest to per cent.
and the Bank OF France has refused TO
sell gold. 1 call your attention TO these
Facts because | cannot understand how
any one can fail to see the significance
OF these things. Our opponents tell us
that gold forms "A safe foundation for an
international money. They tell US that
gold alone Is good throughout the world.
| want you 10 understand. businessmen
OF Peoria and Illinois. that this rise I'm tho
interest in England and Germany and
the action OF the French Bank In all these
things indicate. as they conclusively
prove. that the stock OF gold throughout
the world is so small that the nations Of
the world are grabbing TO get their share.
Great cheering)
THE EXPLANATION.
What has created this special demand?
You do not have to so far to find tho
cause. The financiers decided that IL
would not do TO have another bond issue
III me United States during the cam
paign. They decided that another issue
OF bonds. would be an ob,ect-lesson
which they could not afford TO risk.
and therefore the hnanciers OF New
York went 10 work 10 supply the ma
tional treasury with gold to tide IL over
the campaign. When they found that
1t was difficult they appealed TO tho
foreign tnanciers who were Interested
in fastening the gold standard perma-
nently upon the American people. These
iinancierS aided in the plan and as gold
left Europe, as gold came to US from
England. the people there began to feel
the effect OF its departure. ana the Bank
OF England raised the rate of interest TO
stop the now OF gold TO the United States.
and Germany had 10 protect herself and
France had to protect herself. and thus
this one little agitation proves 10 the
people OF the world that so long as gold
Is our only money. there must be con-
slant disturbance, constant agitation,
constant peril to our commercial fabric.

Mr. RRYIN'S NET RESULTS.

Mr. Bryan's campaign at the East has resulted
precisely as his ablest advisers and managers
predicted ii wOud-in humiliating failure. He
has gathered great crowds of slghtseers, at most
points composed largely of persons who have no
idea of voting for him. At some points he has
been able TO address large audiences in accord
with his theories, and has gained some comfort
from their applause. If he has forgotten that the
cheers of 5000 voters out of 100000 do not ac-
compllsh much. His most elaborate speeches
have been feeble In argument. and wearying In
perpetual repetition of absurd pretcnces which
the speeches of silver Senators and the books
of Coin" have made familiar TO readers. IN
attempting to excuse or explain away the most
OdiOus features Of his Chicago platform he has
only made it more clear to thoughtful citizens
that he Is either entirely ignorant Of the distnc-
ton between honesty and reputation, between
freedom Of speech and lawlessness. between
rights of labor and Anarchy. or dishonesty pre-
tends to be ignorant and in either case is unfit
TO be President His glibness OF speech and
faculty of mpressing hearers by gifts Of voice
and manner have counted for little, pre-
dcted In a region where men are accustomed 10
hear both sides every day. to read the papers,
and 10 do some thinking about what they hear.
Mr. BRYAN has friends who express surprise
because Journals of the East have found so little
occasion 10 reply to his speeches. For Eastern
readers his speeches hardly ever need answer.
They reply to themselves. In the Far West.
where multltudes have not yet grown out Of the
6at-money delusion, learned that industries
cannot be kept alive where capital Is threatened
and alarmed nor discovered the necessity OF
faithful enforcement of the laws such speeches
as Mr. Bryan is making might mslead many.
Here they find no answer and gain no support
among those who are readers Of respectable
Journals. and impress favorably no considerable
body Of men except those classes which must
ever be arrayed against an honest party or de-
cent government
In the face of evidence which comes from all
polnts where Mr. Bryan has been speaking ii is
not possibc 10 escape the belief that he has CON
stantly lost ground by his Eastern efforts. Oc-
casonal angry remarks. like the one 10 Yale stu
dents about spending the lgotten gains of their
fathers have betrayed some consciousness Oh
the part Of Mr.. Bryan himself that his speeches
were not doing him good 1t Is childish for him

ton In any part Of the country. There has never
