here the procession began to pass by the
STAND ana Mr. Bryan was interrupted for
twenty-five minutes. When it had passed
he continued:
"Fellow-citizens have been interrupted
In the midst of speeches before, but can
say to you that Of all this is the most pleas

speech, which was cut in two by the most
remarkable parade which 1t has ever been
my good fortune to witness (applause), and
they bore banners which present notices
which make any further speaking unneces-
sary. If I We're to talk to you from now
until night I could not more than empha-

by the opponents of free silver a single
sentence that contains as much of political
economy and common sense as is contained
in that phrase High money low times
(Applause) 1t seemed that those things
which are hidden from those who were all
themselves wise are revealed unto those
who. in the estimation of the financiers are
but babes and stockings.
Il saw another motto. Our barns are full
but our pockets are empty (applause), and
in that sentence is eDitomized twenty
years Of farming history. Nature smiles
upon your nuSbandry. your soil gives forth
in rich profusion. but according to the ex-

load of the American farmer grows harder
every year. (Applause)
AS TO ANARCHISTS
In olden times under the rule of those
who waved and swept the saber as they
said by right divine, complaint was
answered with the lash, but now the just
complaint of the toiling millions of the
United States is answered by charges that
they are Anarchists and Socialists. Great
applause) My friends, there is
fortunate thing in connection with the use
of the word anarchist, as applied to those
who are banded together to restore the
money of the Constitution-there is one UNI
fortunate thing about it. Anarchy is
thing not to be considered in d land like
this; anarchy can have no home among
the people who have the ballot to right
their wrongs. Great applause) And the
unfortunate thing about this campaign is
that when the name anarchist is applied to
the bone and muscle of this country by
men who are doing more to overthrow our
eo reiad III man an any Anarehlst who ever
word anarchist is applied to the toiling
millions by men who seek without toll to
usurp the fruit and reap the rewards of
those who toll, the danger is that it will
make the name respectable because of it's
associations. (Uproarious applause and loud
cheerlngD L protest against the of that
name for the purpose which depriVeS it of
all its terrors. Ny friends, those who are
opposed TO us cannot afford to place the
farmers of this country and the laborers of
this country in the position of enemies of

tApplause.) My friends, these very men
who are abused and despised by those who
doubt the capacity of the masses for self
government; these are the very people who
in time of emergency must protect their
caiuminators from themselves and their as
SOciateS.
My friends. there is not a syndicate that
has preyed upon the public, which would
not rather try its case against another syn
dictate before the common people of this
country than before a jury made up of a
syndicate. (Applause)
Now. just one word more. (Cres of Go
ahead! don't stop!) There one motto
other motto, and 1 want you to carry that
motto home with you when you leave this
place and bear 1T upon your memories every
day. so that you can read it when you rise
up and again when you go to bed, so that
1t will be part of .-our political life. 1t is
q short motto, and contains but few letters.

plause) / want you to show that you know
what that motto means. Great applause
and cries of We will do IT'D There is
thing that I have said with greater
earnestness than that the humble business
men of this country scattered all over
land have as much right to use the name
business man as those who have large
business interests in the great centers and
assume the right to be considered the only
business men of this country. l want you
to help make my statement true. (Cries of
We WILL and great applause.) / want you
to prove my statement true by saying you
are not only business men, but that you
understand the election day is the most
important business day in the year. Great
applause)
Now. my friends, just word more.

If you will do as they have done elsewhere
you will tell me that / am working too
