MANY SPEECHES IN NEW JERSEY
A Royal Greeting Accorded Mr.. Bryan
at Every Station

Newark, N. J., Sept. 23.--Afr. Bryan
| left Philadelphia at 9 O'Clock a. IN. on
| his tour of Northern New Jersey lie
was scheduled to speak in many cities
and towns. At Philipsburg a royal
| greeting was given Mr.. Bryan. The
station fronts upon a public square,
where stand had been erected. A
brass band and an immense throng
was waiting and to them Mr.. Bryan
spoke for fifteen minutes saying in
part:
Feeling is aroused on both sides and
well may there be feeling, because
| those who are entrenched behind spe-
cial privileges know that the success of
| this campaign, the election of the Chi
| cago ticket means that they will be
driven from the bulwark and earn their
living like other men. (Applause.) 1t
| is not strange that, realizing that here
after they must eat the bread they
earn by the sweat of their own brow
instead of eating the bread others earn,
they will fight with desperation to
! hold on to the government 4
IF the money question is so impor-
tant to the syndicates of this country
that they can subscribe to the fund
to use in this campaign, the people
understand that there must be some
thing in it for the syndicates or they
would hardly be so liberal, These men
are not in the habit of throwing money
away, my friends, and when you find
them rolling up an enormous corrup-
ton fund, you may depend upon it
that they expect to get back every dol
lar they subscribe by unfair legisla-
| ton" applause and cries of more
too.")
At Trenton a two-minute stop was
| made, but Mr.. Bryan made no speech,
contenting himself, but disappoint-
| ing an enormous crowd, with making
| q bow.
At Lambertyille, N. j., where stop of
| four minutes was made, the platform
of the station was thickly packed with
| people, as was also the upper shed of
| the structure. A baggage truck was
| wheeled into requisition and from this
| Mr.. Bryan made brief address say
| ing:
| SCARCE MONEY A BAD THING.
| ''They ask us how the free coinage
| of silver is going to help the people.
| Let me tell you. 1t puts more money
\
| is in circulation there is a better
chance for rich men to get money
| than there is when it is scarce. The
money is the creature of law. Scarce
money is a good thing for the people
who have money to buy property with
/ and have money to loan. Scarce money
| is good thing for the broker and the
| money changer, but scarce money is
bad thing for the people who have
| property to sell and wish to realize
what they can for their property. zap
| plause.)
Scarce money makes dear money,
| and a dear dollar is a bad thing for
those who labor, because it makes
| it more difficult for laboring man to
| get hold of dollar. When money
| rises, the people find more profit in
/ boarding dollars and getting the rise
| in the value of dollars than they do
in investing it in enterprises and Civ
ing employment to labor Great APP
planse.)
At Frenchtown, N. j., party of poll
1 ticians boarded the train and clasped
hands with the candidate. Among them
| was ex-senator Martin, of Hunterdon
county, now president OF the French
| town National Bank, who assured Mr..
Bryan that he is a silver man. Mr..
Bryan spoke briefly from the plat
| form.
At Belyidere, a few hundred people
| were waiting at the depot and when
the train bearing the Bryan party
| rolled into the station, they cheered
| enthusiastically Mr.. Bryan spoke to
them from the rear of the car.
| At Manunla Chunk, there was a
stop of ten minutes in order to make
connection with the train for Wash
| igton, N. j. A few hudred people were
at the depot and Mr.. Bryan utilized the
time by making short speech, during
| which he said:
| WORKERS AGAINST THE DRONES.
81 am glad the people are studying
| this question, because when you I'M
| derstand it you will find the interests
| of those who toll are the same, and the
/ interests of the money-changers
| and money owners are the same. Tt
| is a contest between two classes of
| people, and / cannot better represent
| those classes than / have heretofore
described them by saying that on one
side you find the workers and on the
| other side you find the drones, which
are willing and ready to eat the mon
ey.''
At Washington, N. j., a stop of near
| " an hour was made. Mr. Bryan re-
ceived an enthusiastic ovation and
spoke from stand erected in the CEN
tire of the town. Saying in part:
II believe our cause will grow, be-
cause it is the truth and truth COM
mends itself to those who think. Our
opponents tell us to open the mills
| What is the use of opening the mills
unless people can buy what the mills
| produce? You make pianos and or
gans here, but you don't make them
to play on in the factories. You make
them for people to play on in their
homes How can people buy pianos
and organs unless they can sell their
farm products for more than enough
to pay taxes and interest on their
debts? (Applause) You can open all
the factories you will, but unless you
