BRYAN SCORED BY MR.. NIELDs.
Mr.. Nields the next speaker. said:
AS you have been told time and
again, the paramount issue Of this
campaign is Bryan and Organism
Organism is more thsn the paramount
issue. it is the immediate danger-tha
certain peril Of this campaign. Elect
Bryan president of the United States
ana the consequences Of his election
Will be immediate, certain and neYi-
table.
Organism means, as you Well know.
the free coinage of silver 16 to ]: the
overthrow OF the existing tariff, and
the establishment OF free trade. the re-
construction OF the Supreme Court and
the Federal judiciary; the overthrow
OF the national banks and the national
banking system; the enactment of an
income tax; the disfranchisemelt Of
ten millions Of col0red citizens Above
all, it means arraying the poor against
the rich, the employe against his en-
ployer; it means arraying class against
class, state against state. and section
against section. The effect Of placing
IN power a party advocating such fall
lacics and protesting such hercsies viii
be Immediate and inevitable That
party viii destroy the Industrial /
growth and progress of the last four
years; it will impair the national
currency, the nations credit. and the /
nations obligations; it viii destroy
business confidence and enterprise: itI
viii close up the shops and factories: /
it viii divide i'm half the wages OF Ia /
Dor and the deposits in the SAVINGS I
banks; it viii destroy the only chance /
the workingman has-the opportunity /
for remuneative employment.
Yet mark You. this party advocat- /
ing such policies. with their certain I
consequences, stands forth to-day de- I
claring itself the champion Of consti- /
utional liberty.
So much for Organism. At CHICAGO /

and frenzy they adopted the Chicago
platform. IN the midst Of the tumult

haraugue with the words. "You shall

Democratic candidate for president Of
the united States. And yet, after four
