there are any Republicans here who are going
TO- vote the Democratic ticket, lift up your
hands. Laughter and uprising OF hands.l l
am glad 10 know that. Now commission you
to get out as missionaries and TO bring
this doctrine before all the people of your

Some OF our opponents are afraid that II we

troubled with ffty-cent dollar. 1t will be a
new experience to a few people to be troubled
with any kind OF dollars Laughter and ap-

be a fifty-cent dollar. We expect that with
the opening OF our minis to free silver every
ounce OF silver will be worth 81 %.

Mr.. Bryan was called on for a speech
and in reply said: There is only one
issue in the campaign which the people

That is the money question, and the great
point that comes into discussion on that
question is whether this Nation shall
have its own financial policy and by its
own people, or whether it VIII let others
decide for them"
