when we asked them no but they simply waited un lill until until believe the men who wrote that platform did not want bimetallism but wanted he gold standard permanently they intended that platform to bold the deop e who want the gola standard and if possible to conciliate those who do not want the gold baand ard the platform was intended to deceive the voters but ie it dignified to deceive voters no political party ever went befaro the country on a gold standard platform mr bryan presented the various platforms from to 1890 and continued tho record ia ear the democratic party has never declared for a gold standard etan dard and man in office ever advocated a gom standard after he was elected until he had betrayed the people the right of any dubuc servant to office auyon a platform and oloti abandon it after he is elected I 1 was leaea in a aront school of dc when I 1 find my conscience will not permit cre cr e to carry out a plat orm on which 3 am elected I 1 will resign al let erane other man bold the otice that is the record of the democratic party and I 1 stand here not only as the nomine ebat ine principles which have beba democratic from abe time there was a democratic

would be a good man when I 1 eay I 1 am in fiew of enforcing the law against the great I 1 become a dangerous man dangerous to whom dangerous to the people who are eating the bread they earn A 0 dau cerous to the people who are eating the bread somebody else earns doucia find men who were talking for free coinage three months ago who will tell you they are in a position where they cannot say anything they have a aide attebe bank and cannot pay it jest now and they are not at liberty to advocate what they believe for fear the note will be calad in and the eli will lose this government has ther cot to be run in abo interests of the people or else has got to be robbed in the interests of a few syndicates anybody who enjoys being robbed ought to fall desperately in ave with the republican party because it means to continue the bamo sorl of thine which they have nail for more than four I 1 feel it my duty kodad d the to this extent thai it ia dimply carrying out the policy of thu prec edne administration and applying that policy to a little more aggravated condition we are not a to change the eize of gilver dollars or the gold dollars but we that any man who owes a debt shall be able to pay it in gold or silver are not going TOE THE QUAKERS CONTINUED FIRST to say that contracts already made under the present law which permits contracting tr against dilver shall be changed but we are going to eay that hereafter be permitted no man shall by contract to demonetize demone tiza what the government makes legal tender we are going to say hereafter no man can call a debtor into bis office und tell him if he does not strike out coin and write gold be will foreclose the mortgage and take his property it he tells us he will not loan money in this country under euch laws ve will tell him to loan his money somewhere else and if lie does not like the laws the people make tor their protection we will tell bim to go to some other country where the laws suit him the time has come when the people should refuse to be held up and sandbagged by a few men who assume money is more precious than commodities we have usury laws saving a man can in these transactions men do not always stand upon an equal footing and therefore the government steps in to protect the weaker from having hie rights trespassed upon if it is right to eay no man shall ba permitted to collect more than a certain rate of it is right for the government to say when it lias declared a certain kind of money is legal tender that no man shall write a contract saying that that law is a lie they talk about gold as if it was di vine it is in the sense that it is their U god it is not divine it is matter in stead of being a real goj and a thing to be worshipped wor shipped we are told that when the children of israel made it into a calf and began to worship it it displeased god and he ground it into powder mr bryan did not speak at the over flow meeting in front of the academy of I 1 maaia as was expected but went direct to broad and wharton streets where people were congregated mr bryan acknowledged the greetings of the assemblage and stated that he was too hoarse to address them and

introduced to the delegation and then went to luncheon at mr bryan was taken by boat to Waa hington park a summer resort on tho new jersey eide of the delaware river where he emoke this afternoon hon J T bryan who said in part 1 I met a prominent man yesterday who said that until tho chicago convention acted on the subject he had beverin neverin vesti gated the money question and never supposed there was anything in it that the papers did not seem to think it worth talking about they regard cc it as a craze and he did not have time as a business man to pay any attention to crazes but when a great national party adopted a platform making alio money question thy paramount issue he began to think about it that was only a few weeks ago he got to be a crank he said to me it dont win this fight it is going on until we do win and I 1 dont cure how many years it takes lean appreciate the feeling of that man I 1 went through the fame experience myself until six ago I 1 thought any man who talked about money was a harmless crank I 1 did not listen to his arguments they had no weight with me I 1 studied the question I 1 read books on both sides and compared them and the more I 1 read the deeper became my conviction until I 1 became so firmly of the opinion that there could not be prosperity in this country until free silver was restored that I 1 was willing to risk all I 1 lad or loped to have on the correctness of that conclusion we have gone through in nebraska the same process that people have gone through in other states we began the fight in nebraska it ie the pioneer the plat lona adopted in chicago on the silver question was first adopted in nebraska by the silver democrats thore when we did it we had balters too as they have had since wo had men who claimed to bo democrats who would not agree to our platform they called themselves belter democrats llian we were and voted the republican bicket to prove it we believe the democratic Demo craic owed its success lo 10 the toiling massens mas seES must baili eland by them in their fight against theca if it deserves to continue its existence we organized in nebraska a democratic free dilver league the members of that league made an open fight they did not go around in the dark wearing n mask they said to the democracy 0 the state were going to take possession ot the machinery of the party if we can we are going to submit this question to the voters we went out and presented the questions when our state conventions met we bad to one and we adopted that platform which has been readopted by the na dional democratic convention there was not a fiercer contest ever waged then we organized a bimetallic democratic leagie which wen tolt to do in the nation what the free silver democrats of nebraska bad done in that state we earned the question to the primaries and the voters instructed alie delegates to the county convention and from these to the national convention when they got down there eoma people came from new york to instruct the delegates whom had already been instructed ted A distinguished man who used to call himself a democrat a voice hill no whitney went down and said as soon as the people of west found out how the people of the east felt about this subject he did not think there would bouny bo uny trouble in carrying the convention against sliver ho came back and found he did not know how the people of the east felt about it the democratic party in his own state has declared that it unreservedly in borses the free silver plank of the national platform and that it is the best democratic platform ever adopted in this country we never had a convention in this country which more correctly represented tho the people who sent the delegates than that convention which met at chicago it is honor enough to be a nominee of a convention for the president but it is higher yet to be the nominee of the moat democratic convention ever hold in this country applause it is sufficient honor to be nominated by the machinery of a party but it is higher honor still to be nominated by the people of a party regardless of the machinery since that platform was adopted the laople have commenced to study the money question what do they find aney find that the people of the west and south who have been asking for the restoration n bimetallism instead of trying to ruin the country are trying to eave it your people are producing manufactured product here largely where do you get your consumers wipe out tho farming population and where will you sell the goods you produce how are you going to increase your markets by increasing the number of people able to buy what you produce will you do that by makenz dollars dearer no dollars do not eat they devour a great deal but they dont eat how you goerg to create markets by increasing dollars in the of the few no have got to restore by stopping the fall of prices men wi 1 beell what they produce to get money to buy what you produce mr bryan alien gave quotations from john sherman jas G blaine and john G carlisle showing them to have formerly ben io favor of the free coinage of silver mr bryan continued follows the gold standard newspapers think we wont tie able to get silver into circulation if wo have free coinage I 1 want to tell you that they will bo mighty glad to have subscriptions paid even in silver dollars it theae people who they have been trying to destroy in the interests of the foreign capitalists will continue |
