Mr. Bryan was on the point of clos.
ing ms speech when some one In dis
laht part OF the hall made an inquiry
ABOUT free silver Mr. Bryan replied
vigorously. saying:
Il am uo".., but I am going 10 stop
long enough 10 answer that gentleman.

Ideas emanate from the head and not
from the poCketbook ] VIII now talk
10 those who cannot soar higher than
the pants pocket ! want 10 remind
the man who wants 90 know about sill
yer mat you do not have 90 ask ques-
tons TO find our policy on the money
question. II The gentleman can read he
can read a platform that states the
pdrty's position So that even q Repub-
mean can understand and II he has not
had time 10 read the platform aud
knows anything Of me knows where
stand. whether there is platform or
not When the money question was
paramount we talked about Il and The
Republicans wanted 20 talk about the
tariit and now when the Republicans
assail the principles Of government IN
stead Of defending the policy u lmper-
ialism they want % talk about other
questions The money question can be
settled at any time. The question Of
government must be settled now. You
can live under any kind Of a
money standard. but you cannot
live under the doctrine OF an
empire and believe On free government.
But while our position on these Ques-
tons Is known you cannot find what the
Republican position Is on any OF these
questions. Even the President himself
approved Of a platform which held out
the hope Of international bimeullism,
and the Republican party never opened
rs mouth about the gold standard un-
M the Wall street finauCiers repudiated
the Presidents own platform and
CdOptpd q gold standard platform AT
the last session OF Congress q financial
Till was adopted which by rs terms
makes necessary a perpetual debt iu or
der 10 provide bonds as "a basis for bank
notes. and the Republican party now
declares that that policy is better than
the old policy Of paying OF The debt and
relieving the people Of the burden ot
taxation. The Republicans are not
prepared 20 meet the issues. but when
you ask them what they think about
the purchase Of 100000 people nj $3.50
apiece they do not think anything
about the people The only thing they
think about is about the two dollars
and a half. and when YOU tell them you
are not willing 90 send caruetbaggers
over there and maintain them with
more standing army 90 oyerWhelm and
rule what they call an inferior race, the
only answer they have is that some o.
the States have made amendments 10
their constitutions which exclude from
voting the c00rpd man who cannot
read And yet Your own President has
Imposed qualifications on Porto Rico
from exercising the franchise and not
only that. but be takes away from
them de- projections % the Constitu-
ton Nhy should a man IN Connecti-
cut make that objection, Tor the last
amendment 90 your Constitution fixes
an educational qualification IN the
state OF Connecticut
