who saw William J. Bryan yesterday
would hardly know him today. The
long, flowing locks had been closely
clipped and the old fashioned broad
cloth coat, which made him seem old
er. had been superseded by q new
cutaway of modern fashion. Mr.
Bryan looked nearer his real age than
he has at any time since the campaign
began.
A hundred or more people gathered
at the railroad station in Hartford this
morning to see Mr.. Bryan leave for
Springfield. They cheered him as ne
appeared on the platform of the special
car secured by the Springfield commit
teee, and demanded speech. MI Bry-
an told them something about the
money question. and had just finished
as the train drew out at Ills. "A
small crowd assembled around the Bry-
an car at Windsor, Conn, the first stop.
4 young man marched up to the train
bearing a piece of brown paper with
the names of Mckinley and Hobart
chalked on it. At Windsor Locks sew
eral hundred people saw Mr.. Bryan.
He was cheered and responded with
few words. Thompsonville was the
last stop in Connecticut. The crowd
was about equal to that at windsor
Locks. MIR. Bryan spoke briefly. In
his speech he said:
our opponents want a dollar that gets
higher and higher all the time. II we are
going 10 have "A gold standard. If We are
going to have gold dollar whose appetite
l. never satisfied, ana Il gold doilar Whl,h

HE TALKS WITH GEORGE FRED
WILLIAMS.
st Ii in the SPECIAL car of the Mas
sachu fotts committee. Mr.. Eryan made
tn TRIP from Springfield to Worcester
H talked NEST of the way with George
j.. ed Williams.
During tn Iun the train halted brief
ly at Palmer Warren and West Bl ook-
field. where small crowds saw and
cheered the nominee.
Rryan's speech at Worcester was as
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen:-We are in the
midst of Il campaign in which great feel
ing is excited. Ii IL not strange that deep
feeling has been manifested on both sides.
Much depends on the result If the gold
standard IL u good thing then those of US
who believe in bimctaliism are terribly
standard Is crime against the American II
people we are right. come to present one
side because have not time for any elab-
crate arguments. The masses, the gold
question too deep for the American people
TO understand There Is no question so
complicated that the people cannot under
stand. There is no question that must be
submitted to a few to settle for the rest.
The money question can and is being un-
derstood. Every day finds more advocates
TOY b!metallism than ever before. and
brings recruits to those who believe in the
restoratton of the constitutional money.
The principle ina, underies the money
question is that the value of dollar de-
dollars scarce is to make them dear. When
property falls in price, we have hard
times. If you want hard times. make
money scarce. When money rises, the
wealth of those who have money incr cas-
IS. The synoicates and trusts that control
the money also profit by the hard times
The greater the necessity, the greater
the gain. Increase hunger and you raise
the value of food Increase the demand
for money and you raise the price of
money. You must sacrifice your property
at any price to get the money when you
want it. ! read poem written by coal
miner in Pennsylvania that contained
more political economy than any gold
man has yet put in any speech of the cam
paign. He drew an illustration from mis-
own business. He said in his poem, What
shaft?'
The gold men want US to work In a mine
with single shaft and they hold control
of that shaft.
If the people here depended on one spring
of water and it was owned by one person,
what would be the result? There would
be one person who would not know what
hard times were. Others would suffer. but
that one would be free. He would take
advantage Of their necessaries and skim
the cream off the milk. A cause. like a

You may get some information from the
fact that there Is arrayed against US ev-
cry trust that preys on the public. 1t is a
sign that our cause is just. You are as
well known by your enemies as by your
friends, and we rejoice, in this campaign,
at the certificates given by those people
who deprive labor of the fruits of its toll
Our opponents appeal to the laborng men,
The gold standard was never endorsed by
the labofer in any nation in the world. In
no country has 1t received the support
of the laboring men and it never will. be-

The money changers stand by gold. The

until the people are able to buy what the
mills can produce. You cannot make a
market by destroying the prosperity of the

BISMARCK A BIMETALLIST.
