CANDIDATE BRYAN
STUPING IN MISSOURI.
The Democratic Nominee Addresses Three
Audiences at St Louis.
One in the Hall Where Major
McKinley Was Nominated.
His Remarks Confined Solely to a
Discussion of the Financial Ques
tion—Bryan Also Makes Two
Speeches at Kansas City to the
Workingmen.
ST. LOUIS, Sept, 12.—Three big audi
ences were addressed by W. J. Bryan
to-night, and each gave him a reception
of which any man might be proud.
In company with Governor Stone and
other prominent politicians, Mr. Bryan
•was greeted at the Union Station by a
crowd of several thousand people, who
made the spacious train shed ring with
their shouts. After supper Mr. Bryan,
at 8 o'clock, started out on his round of
speech-making, doing the jumping from
place to place in a special trolley. Con
cordia Park, the Auditorium and
Sportsmen Park were the places where
he spoke.
Concordia Park has a great open am
pitheater, its terraced sides forming the
seats for the multitudes that had
gathered there. To-night every bit of
space on the floor and on the terraces
was taken up by the spectators, and
when the Democratic candidate arrived
be found an audience of between 15,000
and 20,000 people. The scene was pic
turesque, with the solid lines of human
ity along the stoping banks slightly
higher than those below, while Chinese
lanterns suspended from many trees
threw a soft light over the assemblage.
Mr. Bryan was received with round
after round of applause, and after an
introduction by H. J. Brady, Chairman
of tbe State Central Committee, made
an address half an hour long.
The great Auditorium, where Major
McKinley was named by the Republi
can Convention was more than three
miles away, and when Mr. Bryan ar
rived there at 8:45 he found the inte
rior packed from floor to ceiling with
people anxious to hear him talk. It is
stated that 15.000 chairs had been
placed in the hall, and to-night not only
did every chair have an occupant, but
at least 5,000 people crowded the stage,
aisles and the spaces back of the gal
leries. The heat was enervating, and
several women fainted. Hon. John
Allen, Congressman from Mississippi,
entertained the vast audience until Mr.
Bryan arrived.
It was the same story over again at
Sportsmens' Park, which Mr. Bryan
reached at 10:15. The crowd there was
equal to that at the Auditorium, and
was quite as enthusiastic.
At Concordia Hall Mr. Bryan said ln
part:
"There are some who believe that the
restoration of the silver coinage until
other nations come to our aid is im
possible There are others who believe
that the free coinage of both silver and
gold at the present legal ratio of 1G to
1 can be accomplished without the aid
or consent of any other nation, and that
this is absolutely essential to national
prosperity. (Applause and cries of
"Good.") This is the great question
which must be submitted to the ballot
and in order that you may understand
this question I desire to submit a few
arguments to-night in behalf of the
restoration of free coinage.
"I wish in the first plae» to state that
I believe that every American citizen ia
competent to form an opinion on this
issue. The Republican party is making
an effort to supply the people with the
money needed in their business through
their public men and otherwise. They
call these men financiers, who assume
that a country growing in population
cannot survive unless the mints are
kept closed.
"Now give me your attention, my
friends. In this Government publica
tion issued by the Treasury Department
on the Ist of July, 1896, I find a state
ment of the amount of money of all
kinds in circulation among thepeoplcfor
the various years. Let me call your at
tention to the amount in 1894, 1895 and
1890. In 1*94 the amount of money in
lIEREJT IS!
B
For $2 50.

circulation, according to this report, was
$1,000,000,000. In 1895 the amount of
money In circulation had fallen to $1,
--001,000,000, a decrease ln one year of
$39,000,000. On June 30, 1890, the
amount In circulation had fallen to $1.
--500.000,000. It means that in two years'
time the amount of money In circulation
among the people had fallen about
$155,000,000 in amount. In other words,
in two years time there has has been a
decrease of nearly 10 per cent, in the
circulating medium of the people. This,
my friends, is the treasury report, and it
shows that while the per capita circu
lation in 1894 was $24 28. it had fallen
to $21 28, a fall of more than $3 per
capita.
"Now I have called your attention to
this decrease, I wish to show you, my
friends, that Instead of being a decrease
there should have been an increase
each year. Senator John Sherman made
a speech on the sth of July, 1890, and
in the course of that speech he said we
needed an increase in the currency of
Something; like fifty millions a year, and
yet instead of that increase we have a
decrease of about $155,000,000, making
a total deficit of about (255,000,000.
Now if Senator Sherman was right then
in saying the people needed more money
every year, then I want to ask you why
it is that the Republican party have, in
the face of this decrease, made no pro
visions to supply the requirements of
increasing population. When we speak
about these matters our opponents tell
us that we do not understand mathe
matics. A man does not need to know
much about mathematics to know that
a nation that requires an increased cir
culation must make some provision to
meet that need, but the Republican
party pays no attention to the manner
in which this decreased circulation has
been brought about."
At the Auditorium Mr. Bryan said, ln
part:
"If the Republican party had declared
in favor of a gold standard its orators
might have gone before the people and
advocated the gold standard as a good
thing. To have done so they would have
had to close their ears to the cry of dis
tress which comes up everywhere. But
they did not declare for a gold standard.
Why? Because those who favored a gold
standard never fought an open fight in
their lives. Gold is a coward. It will
not meet its enemies in an open fight,
and those who advocate a gold standard
have never been willing to face their en
emies before the American people.
"Let me give you an evidence of the
fact that our opponents are not willing
to take the American people into their
confidence and declare before the Amer
ican people the policy which they de
sire. This night recalls my last visit to
this hall, a little less than three months
ago. I attended a national convention
held in this hall. I saw here adopted the
first platform ever adopted by a na
tional convention in all the history of
the United States which declared that
the United States must depend upon
foreign nations for permission to do
what our people desired to do. I saw
adopted in this hall a platform which
pledged the Republican party to get rid
of a gold standard and substitute bimet
allism as soon as the leading nations of
Europe would help us to do so. Before
an audience that did not equal this, I
saw this platform adopted, and I am de
lighted that an audience greater in size
gathered not from all the Union, but
from a single city, has met in this same
hall to pronounce condemnation upon
that platform.
"My friends, in a country like ours
agitation Is the only means by which the
people can secure relief. And if the - e
men had their way about it, they would
make it a penal offense for man to rais j
his voice against the financial system
which they would fasten on the Ameri
can people. (Applause.) I repeat that
these men who tell you that everything
would be all right if you would just
have a quiet settlement of the money
question, and then do not tell you what
the quiet settlement is. or if they know
they are unwilling to tell us. (Applause.)
You will find sume of these banking In
stitutions —I do not say all of them, be
cause there are In the banking business
men who will respect the Constitution
aiid laws of the United States —but I say
some of these banking Institutions tell
a man they will not lend money to him
nor extend his notes unless he votes as
they ask him to. Yes, and why do they
do it? It is because there are banking
firms in New York City who tell the
banks that if they do not do as they
want thc-m to they will not extend credit
to them, and then there are banks ln
London who tell the banks in New York
that if they do not run the United States
on the European plan they wiIl««ot ex
tend credit to them. (Tremendous
cheering.)
"I wonder if those who are assembled
here know what is going on under the
linancial policy which has cursed this
country for the last twenty years. Let
me tell you some things. They have
presented greenbacks and Treasury
ie |ea for redemption, and. instead of
the Government exercising the right to
redeem these greenbacks or Treasury
notes in either gold or silver, the pres
ent Administration and the Adminis
tiations of several years past have sur
rendered that right to the holder of the
note, and under that right the Treas
ury of the United States has proved
helpless In the hands of those who, pre
tending to uphold the Nation's credit,
have plundered the Nation to fill their
own pockets with the people's money."

"Mr. McKinley Is not going to take
the stump. The Democrats would un
doubtedly like very much to see him
chasing over the country in a wdld
scramble for votes as Mr. Bryan has
insisted upon doing. Mr. McKinley will
continue to conduct himself as a man
who appreciates the dignity and im
portance of the position he seeks. He
will not lend himself to any catch-pen
ny scheme for the sake of satisfying
the curious to make himself talked
about. I have heard this discussed. I
think I know what I am talking about
when I say Mr. McKinley will continue
to address the people who visit him at
Canton."

OPPONENTS OF FREE SILVER.
BIG RALLY HELD AT CHICAGO
LAST NIGHT.
Bourke Cockran Addresses an Audi
ence of Six Thousand People
at the Auditorium.
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—There was a big
rally here to-night of the combined op
position to William J. Bryan and free
silver, Hon. Bourke Cockran of New-
York delivered an eloquent and notable
address at the Auditorium before near
ly 0,000 people under the auspices of
the American Honest Money League.
The only decoration in the magnificent
theater was a great American Hag
draped behind the orator and Demo
cratic statesman. I'he audience be
longed to the business class, and the
frequent outbursts of applause which
followed the rounded periods of the
speaker attested the thorough sympa
thy with the sentiments expressed.
There were so many applications for
tickets to the meeting that an overflow
one was held in Battery D, which was
attended by 2,000 people, who listened
to addresses by local advocates of gold.
Mr. Cockran was unable to address the
second meeting on account of failing
voice.
Mr. Cockran, who was received with a
storm of cheers and applause and wav
ing of handkerchiefs from the standing
multitude, said in part:
"We can have neither part nor act
with a man who prosecutes a campaign
upon assertions that are libels on the
grandeur of our institutions and the
patriotism of our citizens; on the maj
esty of our Bepublic, and on the virtue
and intelligence of our people. I have
followed all of his speeches since he left
New York, and I cannot discover of
what he complains, unless it be that the
ciime of 1873, as he calls it, has worked
mischief irreparable to the people of
this country. In my speech in Madison
Square Garden I propounded to Mr.
Bryan a question of great moment, but
as yet I have received no answer in Mr.
Bryan'B speeches which he has made
since. I made this statement then, that
a debasement of the currency would
necessarily work a 1 eduction in the rate
of wages paid to labor. Mr. Bryan and
his Populist friends never went into the
question as to the effect of a debase
ment of the crrrency on the condition of
the workingmen, because they never
can. Wages is fixed by a law that is as
immutable as the ages. An infallible
test of prosperity is the rate of wages
paid to labor, and 1 will support any
man who will raise the rate of wages,
no matter by what political name. I
believe in high wages, because they
mean general prosperity.
"I confess I do not know what the
crime of '7M was, and I have some sus
picion that Mr. Bryan does not. The
question is not a change in the stand
ard of values to apply to future con
tracts; that would not do much harm.
It Is a question of changing the stand
ard of value applicable to existing con
tracts which would accomplish the rob
bery of the creditor class. The fraud
which is being attempted will fall with
the heaviest hand upon the laborer and
producer, who are always creditors.
"Who has ever heard that money was
scarce when confidence abounded, when
credit was sound, and when men trust
ed in the honesty of each other? The
stock argument of Mr. Bryan and the
Populists is the Influence of England
on this country. This whole statement
about England and English domination
of our monetary system is absurd. I
would not be afraid of this money pow
er which they talk so much about if I
was able to discover it. I would like
to become a money power myself. The
only money power I have seen Is where
a pair of brawny hands were at work
making something useful for the fam
ily of mankind. I never heard that
England was trembling because of fear
that we would go to a silver standard.
If she is trembling it is with merriment
over the idea that her foreign trade
would be ruined by the United States
adopting the free coinage of silver,
when she accomplished the commercial
conquest of the world by the use of
better money.
"Civilization Is not riot and revolu
tion, and mutual co-operation and as
sistance is not war. Each man must
decide this question in his own way."

pened to say.

VISIT WM. M'KINLEY.

from McKeesport, Pa. The two delega
tions filed into the yard together, and
before either of their spokesmen had
said a Word the rain began to fall. In
tently a thousand umbrelles were lifted.
The spokesman for the McKeesport peo
ple tried to speak, but only said a few
words.
Then there was a lull, and the spokes
man for the railroad men made a brief
speech.
When Mr. Church had finished the
rain was coming down in torrents, and
it was determined to go to the Taber
nacle. The crowd marched there, and
when Major McKinley arrived greeted
him with vociferous applause. He ex
pressed his regret that the inclement
weather had divided this great delega
tion, but added that he was sure that
rain would not divide them on the 3d
day of November. This was greeted
with applause and cries of "No, you bet
it won't."
The Major went on to speak of the
visit he made to McKeesport two years
ago, at the celebration of its one hun
dredth anniversary, and the great pro
gress it had made. He added:
"I did not find everybody so well em
ployed then as they had been during the
previous two years, but I found great
industries giving employment to thou
sands of workingmen which had been
built up under the Republican policy
that had had uninterrupted sway for
more than a third of a century. (Great
applause.) I was glad to note, among
other things in connection with that
city, the establishment of a tin-plate
works, one of the first, if not the first,
ever established in the United States,
giving employment to hundreds of men
and of hundreds of more in other parts
of the country.
"I am also glad to meet so many of
the men employed In the general offices
of the Pennsylvania line here at my
home, for I have long known much of
their efficiency and fidelity. (Applause.)
I do not think that there ever was a
time in the history of our country when
so many men were interested in the
right settlement of public questions as
this year, and no class of our people are
so much interested in their righteous
settlement as the men who work for
wages and salaries. (Great applause.)
"It has pleased me very much to ob
serve that all along the lines of the rail
ways of this country the employes are
organizing, and I thank them for It.
(Applause and cries of "We don't want
thanks.") But I want to give you one
piece of advice: Do not use these great
organizations to coerce your employers
to vote the same ticket as you do. (Tre
mendous applause and laughter lasting
for several minutes.)
"Whenever the prosperity of this
country is blighted, the railroads of the
country are the first to feel it. (Cries of
"That's right!" If products are not
carried by railroad transportation, there
is no employment for the operatives on
railroad lines. We must seek first to in
crease trade at home, and gradually so
Improve our merchant marine as to give
us greater advantages in the carrying
on the high seas. We will neglect
neither, but by a wise protective tariff
and reciprocity systems increase both."
(Great cheering.)
Major McKinley spoke at some length
of the enormous development of rail
roads in the United States during the
past three decades, their traffic, etc.,

and added: "All steadily advanced and
kept full pace with the increased pros
perity of the country. This is the sys
tem, this policy of protection, the gov
ermental policy, which we must again
restore in the United States of Amer
ica." (Cheers and cries of "Hurrah for
McKinley!")
Speaking of the Pensylvania road, he
said: "Observe that while it was en
abled to employ 873,000 operatives in
lS'.t::, it had but 74!>.0<Hi at work in 1885.
You know better than I can tell you that
it was poor business that caused this
army of 124,0»K) men to be no longer
employed, and that it was poor business
that caused a reduction rather than an
advance of wages. (Cries of "That's
right!") The manufactories, the mines
and the farms were not running on full
capacity, and the railroads in conse
quence were not doing so much or so
profitable a business as they ought to
have been doing. Which policy do you
like best, the old or the new? ( Loud
cries of "We want the Republican pol
icy!") Decide this question for your
selves, and then vote that way. (Cries
of "We'll vote all right!") Your spokes
man has made an excellent and able ar
gument against the free coinage of sil
ver as it affects your business,*and I
need not attempt to enlarge upon it.
Free silver would prove equally as dis
astrous —aye. probably more disastrous
—than free trade has proven to the peo
ple of the United States." (Cries of
"We have had enough of that!")

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Consul
Seymour, at Palermo, reports to the
State Department that the orange and
lemon exports for the season to the
United States has execeeded that of
