arrival of the train in the hope of see
ing the candidate at that unseemly hour.
were not so fortunate in their guess. The
special car was side-tracked there. and
as II lay on the siding, gentlemen with
voices that ranged from the keenest tenor
TO the deepest bass, amused themselves
by hanging on the windows and calling
on the candidate to trot himself out ana
snow himself, but Mr.. Bryan did not re-
spond. He slept until o'clock and short
ly after that hour addressed about 5000
persons about the Park station at Lin
coin.
This is what he said: zone week from
to-day the American people are to decide
upon the financial policy of this nation
Tor at least four years, and possibly for
longer time When our opponents have
tailed in everything else they commence
TO make gloomy predictions of what will
happen II we have the free coinage of
silver.
You know whenever we have COM
planned Of existing conditions they have
called US calamity howlers, but. my
friends, the worst of those who have com
planned of conditions We're speaking words
or praise compared with the language
used by our opponents when they begin
to tell what is going to happen if the free
coinage of silver comes and one of the
most frequent of the prophecies when
they make is that panic will come from
the moment we have the free coinage of
silver that all the people who have money
VIII lock it up, and all the people who
nave mortgages will foreclose the mort
cages. and that there is going to be
period of ruin here. Their language fails
to express their ideas on the subject.
They simply stand aghast at the picture.
want to show you that the free coin
age of silver instead of bringing panic,
Will stop the panic that the people have
been suffering from for years. Great
cheering) We are in the midst Of a
panic now, and we have been in the midst
of a panic. business failures have been
increasing, and hard times have been be-
coming harder That is what a panic
means, and We are in the midst of a
panic now, and there is no way out of
the panic until we increase the volume of
the money which measures prices.
(Cheers) Now there is one safe principle
to go on when you are discussing what is
going to happen, and that principle is
that people are not going to do anything
that is injurious to them If they know it.
You can count on selfish interests al
ways, and when you tell me that men
will hoard money under free coinage
tell you That | know they will not hoard
money because people never hoard money
when money Is falling in value. (Cheers)
They do not hoard wheat when wheat Is
going down. You will find that when the
prices begin to fall they begin to get rid
of the thing falling in price. Under free
coinage there viii be a larger amount
of money brought into circulation, and
people understand that that means that
the purchasing power of the dollar will
fall and when that commences the man
who owns the dollar will be trying to get
rid of the dollar and get hold of some
thing which is rising in its purchasing
power" (Cheers)
