Sarcastic Reterences to the Gold Ele- ment of the Democratic Party— Biblical Quotations by Way of Illustrations — Repetitions ot His Madison Square Arguments, Tivoli-on-Hudaon, N. ¥., Aug. 22. —The democratic candidate for the presidency, William J. Bryan, spoke to 1,500 persons assembled around a platform in the village square at Madalin this afternoon, and for forty minutes discussed the financial ques- tion from the bimetallic point of view. He was seconded by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who started to explain what he termed the “crime of 73,” but was cut short by a show- er which had been threatened throughout the afternoon. An in troductory speech ef an hour was made by Hon. John J. Lentz, of Ohio, a silver candidate for congress. Mr. Bryan was welcomed upon the edge of the village by tho recep tion committee and a brass band, which, followed by the Bryan and Sewall club, escorted his carriage to the square to the music of ‘Hail to the Chief.” The boom of a field piece aunounced his arrival. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were heartily cheer- ed as they stepped to the platform. The chairman of the committee, Hon. Frank Ormsbee, introduced the candidate. BRYAN’S SPEECH. Mr. Bryan said: | “Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gen- tlem—When our party at Chicago | wrote the platform which it did, we| knew that it would offend some pecs | ple. No party can take a plain, strong, emphatic position upon any question without offending some. _| say, ‘great is sound money: great is | why. if we had expected it what | would we have expected in the face lot all the history of the past? Do it, |you remember the good book states |: | some 1,800 years ago a man named 1x | Demetrius complained ef the preach- | -|ing of the Gospel. Why, he said, it | we ss in which | destroys the busi jare engaged. We are making images \.| for the worship of Diana and these i be not gods | people say that they |that are made with hands.

When be | made up his mind that the preach- ing of the Gospel interfered with |his busines he did not go out and | aay to the world: ‘Our business is || being injured and we are mad.’ What did he say! Be said: -Greatis Diara | of the Ephesians.’ LIKE DEMETRIU lism destroys the business in which they have been engaged. But when wrong because it interferes with our business. Whatdo you say? They an honest dollar.’ (Applause.) I say this platform wes not written to at- tract their votes It was written be- cause we want to destroy the busi- ness in which they are engaged. But my friends, if those who have made a profit out of the government's financial policy array themselves against the democratic party, may we not expect those who believe that we are right to come to our res- cue, and fill up the ranks that are being depleted by their desertion. If we must part company with those who believe in a government of syn- dicates by syndicates and for syndi- cates, may we not appeal with confi dence to those who belieye thata government of the people, by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth? (Ap- plause ) If these men who pride themselves upon their prominence in the busi- ness world, and who glory in the title of business men, are going to make a business out of politics, are going to use their ballots to increase their inceme, I beg you to coneider whether the great toiling masses of the nation have mot a right to make & business out of politics and protect their homes and their families from disaster. (Applause) The found ers of our government never conced ed that the time would come when there would be only a few people in this country competent tv settle great public questions. If they had we would have written in the consti- tution that on most questions most. everybody could vote, but on the! money question the people who were financiers could vote. (Applause.) Our opponents of the gold standard democracy are all linked as to the| policy which should ba pursued. They all want the same object. | They all want to elect a republican | candidate, because they believe that democancy is better exemplified through republicanism. (Laughter.) Some of our opponents say that the! gold standard is a good thing, while others say, ‘What we want is bimet- allie, but we cannot have it until | somebody helps us.’ (Laughter.) If body. We declared in that platform | what we believed was right; we de-| scribed the policies which we be- | lieved were best for the American| people, and we knew that it would| alienate some.

My friends, you can talk to the farmer from now until election day but you will never convince him that a gold standard has brought any- thing but ruin and distress to the farn.er. | A FEW WORD3 TO LABORING MEN. “How about the laboring man? Weil, my friends, there is one good way to judge whether those men who now appeal to the laboring man to stand by the gold standard be- eause it is a benefit to the wage earner are sincere. There isa good way of knowing how much faith you can put in these protestations of friendship. Who are the men who are now tellirg the laboring man that he must stand by the gold standard if he wants to prosper? Why, whenever one of these East- ern financiers is troubled with sleep lessness, the doctor does not ask any questions, he just says: “Just stop your worrying about the labor- ing man and go to sleep.’ Are these the people who have been leading the laboring men up to higher ground? No, my friends. They are the men who have been too busy trying to make money out of the ap preciation of the dollar to spend their dollars in giving employment to the men in developing the re- sources of this great country.
