THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28. 1896. "WAR! WAR!" CRIES BRYAN Three Fiery Speeches Made by Nebraska’s Boy Orator. CAN FIND NO ISSUE BUT CHEAP MONEY. Agitation That Causes Trouble Advocated by the Silver Candidate, SAYS THE FUTURE IS WRITTEN. IN BLOOD OF GOLD. Lurid Harangues by the Platte River Elocutionist Attract Large Crowds. ERIE, Pa., Aug. 27.—William J. Bryan made his fourth and last speech in Erie this morning, and shortly after left for Buffalo, where his headquarters will be for the rest of the week. The hard work of yesterday did not show to any great ex- tent on the candidate when he appeared on the Reed House balcony this forenoon and addressed a large crowd gathered there. His voice was somewhat hoarse, but otherwise he appeared to be in good condition. The tiiree speeches delivered by Mr. Bryan in Erie last night showed his versatility as an orator. He talked money to all his auaiences, but couched the same ideas in different phraseology at each place. In the course of his spicy speech at St. Patrick’s Auditorium, Mr. Bryan said: We have got to take action. It is either bi- metallism or a gold standard, and its future is in the hands of fate. There is no other issue but money. It comes first. All others arc minor affairs. They may be settled at any tame, but the question of money must be set- tled now. What are we going to do? I don’t know what the people think about it, but I do know if they want to heip themselves they will go to the polls and vote for silver. Idon’t know what your politics are, nor do I care. I speak to you as citizens of & great country, not as members of a party. Parties are useful, of course, but they are instruments, not men. There is no reason why you should worship eny party. The Republican party had great opportunities at St. Louis, but they were slaves to gold and had to bow their heads to the organ- ized syndicates, and you must remember that these same syndicates protectthe treasury. The Republican party teils you to hope and wait. But how long will you have to wait? Do not let the Republicans beguile you about the fu- ture. The future is written in blood, crushed out of you by gold. [Applause.] Itis not for amusement that we are engaged in this con- test. It is for you. Itisgolng to be war, and if we lose tnis time we are going right along and keep up the war until we win. But, my friends, we will hot have to keep it up long. [Applause.] Agitation of this question causes trouble, and trouble causes agitation. People do not get agitated for nothing. There must be something back of it all. Perhaps it is be- cause 8 farmer who owned a farm which was worth; twenty years ago $5000 this year mortgages it for $2500, and if he tries to sell it he will find that he cannot get enough for it to pay off the mortgage. The audience addressed by Mr. Bryan from the balcony of the Reed House num- bered 2000. He made one of his short speeches, and gained considerable ap- plause for eulogistic reference to Hon. Joseph Sibiey, the Democratic candidate for Congress in this, the Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania District. He was preceded by several local speakers and followed by Mr. Bibley. After the speech Mr. and Mis. Bryan held a reception in the Reed House, which was attended by nearly all those who composed the audience in front of the balcony. The Lake Shore train, in which Mr. and Mrs. Bryan traveled to Buffalo, left Erie at 12:33 » Mr. Bryan, wearing on the lapel of his coat the gold-embroidered badge of the “Randall Club of Pittsburg,”” came out on the balcony of the hotel parlor at 10:30 o’clock. He began his speech with the remark that he bad had several oppor- tunities last evening of speaking on the issues of the campaign, and that ne de- sired this morning to leave one parting word. He said: This is a peculiar cempaign. The people are engaged in this fight because they believe that the triumph of the principles represented by the Chicago platform is an absolute necessity to the weliare of our Nation. It is not merely an attempt to secure the Presidency or to di- vide the offices among the few people. Offices cut no figure in this campaign. [Cheers.] I believe my experience has been rather an unusual one. The people who have come to me have come with suggestions as to what can be done to win the cause. No one has come to ssk me for an office in case I £m elected. Ihave not discussed patronage with anybody. 1 shall not discuss patronage with anybody during this campaign, The man whoin the middle of & great battle stops to negotiate as to what position he shall assume when the battle is closed is unworthy 10 hold eny posi- tion in the land. [A voice in the crowd: «Peace on esrth and good will to men.”] Nor are we satisfied with securing the Presidency. The President alone is powerless to secure legislation. He does not express his aporoval until the Senate and the House have joined in a measure, and I appeal to you, if you are interested in the success of our cause, to secure the Senate and the House as well as the Presidency in favor of this reform. [Cneers.] The Senate is prac- tically secured. We have no fear but that the Senate which convenes on the 4th of March next year will be in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without wait- ing for the aia or consent of any foreign na- tion. But it is necessary that we shall have the House also. The House to-day is in the hands of the enemy, and we must take pos- session of the House in order to put any good measure into operation, and I beg of you in every Congressionel district in thisland to see to it that no man shall receive a majority of votes, if you can help it, unless he goes there to vote for the money of the constitution from the first day he takes his seat to the last day that e occupies a place in the House. [Cheers.] You have a candidate in this district who is one of the ablest, the most fearless and the most eloguent advocate of the great cause. His voice has been heard all over this land, and you will be guilty of desertion of this cause unless you make Joseph Sibley your member of Congress from. the next 4th of March. Now, remember that this cause rests on you. The candidates can do but little. They can- not see all the people. They have no time to sddress their arguments to every yoter. But we commission each of you &s aids in this great fight to go out and spread this Gospel from now until election day. We have faith not only in the intelligence of the people, nor in the patriotism of the people, but we have faith in that zeal among the people which enkindles an enthusiasm which all the contri- butions of all the trusts and all the syndicates cannot extinguish in this campaign. Mr. Bryan withdrew, followed by the cheering of the crowd, and joined his wife in the reception which she was holding in the parlors of the Reed House. EE T R N BRYAN Ar BUFFALO. Denies That He 1s an Anarchist and ZTalks More About Silver. BUFFALOQ, N. Y., Aug. 27.—No public man ever received a heartier reception in Buffalo during a political campaign than that given William J. Bryan to-day. The throng at the station when the train came in was great in numbers, and it manifested its enthusiastic interest in the candidate in such a way that Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were nearly crushed by the pressure around them. Norman E. Mack, editor of the Buftalo Times, and leader of the Bryan forces here, John Cuneen, sec- retary of the Democratic State Committee, Chairman Cuddeback of the County Dem- ocratic Committee and a number of other local Democratic leaders composed the re- ception committee that met the nominee and escorted him to the waiting carriages* The reception took place in Music Hall, where an immense crowd bad assembled. The enthiisiasm was of a character never to be forgotten when Mr. Bryan came to the front and there wus a raging torrent of cheers and applause. He began his speech with expressions of gratitude for the evi- dences of interest that the people of the Empire State are taking in the campaign. Among other things he said: 1 shall carry back to the people of the West the news that the Chicago plattorm is sup- ported and indorsed not only by the West and South alone, but by all the thinking millions of the Eastaswell. I am aware thatin the making of a platform it is impossible to suit the opinions of all. I recognize that people who think will differ and that we often find in a platiorm things with which we canzot fully agree, and we sometimes fail to find in ita mention of policies which we recognize as imvportant. But platforms are not written by all of & They are written by & majority 6f & party. And when the majority of a party writes & platform the others in the party must either stand upon it or get out of the party. [Cheers.] While a platform covers a great many ques- tions necessarily there must be one supreme issue in it, and in this campaign thereisa suprewe issue. The issue is made between | those who believe in a gold standard and those who oppose & gold standard. There is no mid- dle ground. Those who are not with usare against us. There is no place between the lines for people to stand. The Republican platform does not say that a gold standard is agood thing. There are those who are sup- porting the Republican party who believe that & gold standard is a good thing, but they have not the courage to risk the issue before the people who have suffered from a gold standard for twenty years. We must judge people—not by their words, but by their acts, Our opponents tell us that they will try to secure an international agree- ment, and that they simply want to maintain a gold standard until other nations will help us to let go of it. [Laughter.] The Democratic party is opposed to s gold standard; not only opposed to it, but unaiterably opposed to it. It is so much opposed to it that it will not per- mit the American people to be bound to it, though every nation on earth shall demand it. [Applause.] We did not achieve independence for the purpose of bowing to the yoke of any foreign power. [Cheers.] The arguments in favor of bimetallism are directed toward the intelligence of & man who thinks and the heart of a man who feeis. 1f some man living in a foreign land were to ask his nation to surrender the power and right of self-government and vest legislative power in the United States, what would we think of that man’s patrioiism? If we would despise the foreigner who would attempt or desire to let the Unitea States control his nation, what contempt must foreigners feel for those Americans who are willing to sur- render the right 10 govern themselves? [ap- plause.] Our opponents tell us in their platform (and the one authority to construe the platform emphasizes the declaration) that this Nation cannot undertake to open its mints to silver without the concurrent aid of other nations. It does not say that we are not able to do so for a month or'a year or for only & Presiden- tial term. According to the statement this Vation will never be able to do it until other nations join us in the act. That is the doc- trine—we must know the gold standard not for a few months, but for an indefinite duration of time. Here Mr. Bryan quoted from Mr. Car- lisle’s speech on bimetallism in 1878 to the effect that the destruction of nalf the property of the world—including houses, ships and railroads—would not be felt more s-nsibly than the permanent anni- hilation of one-half of the metal money of the world, and he commented upon it by saying: Who are the anarchists? Are they the omes who are to restore the gold and silver coinage of the constitution? Are they the ones who want to reinstate the financial system which had the indorsement of all the statezcmen from Washington through Jefferson and Jackson down to Lincoln? Orshall we find the anar- chists among those who wanta financial policy that would do more than destroy half the houses, sink half the ships and tear up half the railroads of the world? [Applause.] We pro- nose a financial policy. Our opponents pro- pose nothing. Without daring to defend the gold standard, they preach the doctrine of “grin and bear it,” and they offer no hope to the human race. [Applause.] We ask for unlimited coinage. We have had 1tin the past. We ask coinage at 16 to 1. We have had it in the past. And we ask that the American people shall do their own legislat- ing for themselyes, without walting for the aid or consent of any other nation, and we have done it in the past. Under free and unlimited coinage of silver, the United States stands ready to take the ounce of silver bullion brough: from any place in the world and convert 1t into $1 29 of American money. If you say that it is not fair to take away a part of the purchasing power of an ounce of gold, I tell you that it was fair to have putinto that gold that part which the law placed In it. The remonetization of silver will not take out of gold any more than the de- monetization of silver put into gold. They tell us that because Mexico has failed to main- tain the parity between gold and siiver there- fore we must fail. There is just one kind of man who can think that, and that isa man who knows so little of geography or history as to think that Mexico is as large as the United States. When they argue that the fallure of Mexico proves that we must fail they simply argue that the United States cannot do anything that Mexico has not succeeded in doing. Not omly that, but they argue that the United States and Mexico together cannot do anything which Mexico has not been able to do alone. My fiiends, there is one way of taking the Govern- ment out of the clutches of those who have been bleeding it—it is for the Government to resume its legal rights and use its silver or its gold whenever it pleases, whenever it has & dollar to pay. Idonotwant to be called ex- made financiers,” said Mr. Bryanin con- clusion, and this remark was greeted with applause and laughter. S BRYAN WILL ACCEPT. So He Is to Be Motified of the Populist Nomination. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 27.—The Evening Star says: The Star can state positively that Bryan is to be formally and officially notified of the Populist nomi- nation made at St. Louis. His running mate on the Populist ticket, Tom Watson, will be notified at the same time. This may sound strange in view of the statement of Chairman Butler that Wea- ver and Field were not notified four years ago, with the inference that went with it that despite the protests of Populist Bate- man and others Bryan would not be noti- fied. At no time, however, did Chairman Butler say in positive words that there would be no notification. It seems from what was gathered by the Star repre- sentative that the pressure for the notifi- cation of the Populist nominees has been too heavy for those opposed to such a course to resist, and that the managers of the Populist campaign have finally come to tbe conclusion that the notification must be made. The time for the notification has not been fixed upon, but it is probable that the matter has been decided. There will be no meeting like that in New York, but Senator Allen of Nebraska will write a letter to each of the candidates officially informing them of the nomination. This course will likely be adopted for several reasons. One is that it will avoid the call- ing together of the entire notification committee. Another is that it will pre- vent a number of complications which might arise from the other and usual method. The Populists who have been clamoring for a notification to be made, and among them is Watson himself, will probably be satisfied when they hear of the determination that has been reached, but the objects they have in view in fore- ing the notification may not be realizéd. The latter process of notification will be favorable to Candidate Bryan. Senator Allen, as chairman of the committee, would hardly think of fixing a limit of time in which Mr. Bryan should answer the notification. This will give the can- didate plenty of time to confer with the Democratic, Silver and Populist leaders and to decide upon tha course he will pursue. It is believed that Mr. Bryan has been sounded on the question and that he has succumbed to what seems to be the inevita- bie. He probably knows now what is coming and is already groping his way along. From the present standpoint he cannot refuse the nomination. He must NEW TO-DAYCLOTHING. SHOW YOUR COLORS.

Secretary Carlisle Explains Monetary Laws of America. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 27.—Secre- tary Carlisle yesterday addressed the fol- lowing letter to a correspondent in Ohio, in regard to the unit of value, and author- ized its publication as an answer to numer- ous other similar inquiries which are con- stantly being addressed to him: Mr. A. M. Simons, Cleveland, Ohio—MY DEAR S1R: Your favor of the 19th inst., caliing my attention to what you characterize as *‘serious errors” in the circular recently issued by the Treasury Department, reached here during my absence, and 1 embrace the first opportu- nity after my return to acknowiedge it. The statement in the circular to which you refer is as follows: The act of April 2, 1792, established the first monetary system of the United States. The basis of the system was: The gold doliar or unit, containing 24.75 grains of pure gold and stamped in pieces of $10, $5 and $2 50, de- nominated respectively eagles, hali-cagles and quarter-eagles; and the silver doliar or unit, containing 871.25 grains of pure silver. A mint was established. The coinage was un- limited and there was no mint charge. The ratio of gold to silver in coinage was1to 15. Both gold and silver were legal tender. The standard was double, and you say “the free coinage advocates point to those mistakes and claim that they are intentionally lugged in to prove that the unit of value established by this Government was gold.” 1f you will re-examine the statement you will observe that nothing whatever is said about the “unft of value” or about astandard of measure of value, except that ‘‘the standard was double, meaning, of course, that the legal standard was based on both gold and silver. I am unable to discover any error in the state- ment. 1f 247.50 grains of pure gold constitute $10, or “units,” it is evident that 24.75 grains of pure gold must constitute one ‘‘unit.”’ The 24.75 grains of pure gold constituted a gold unit and the 371.25 grains of pure silver constituted & silver unit, and the dollar was the unit, treme, but I want to stale my position with such emphasis that it will not be mistaken. 1believe thatthe Amerjcan people have & right to have the Treasury Department ad- ministered in behalf of all the people instead of in behalf of syndicates, foreign or domes- tic. Instead of permitting the financiers of Wall street to call before them the officials of the Government and to tell them what they must do, I believe that the time has come when the officiais of the Government must call the financiers before them and tell them whet they must do and make them do it. [Cheers] *When the Creator made man he did not use any superior kind of mud when he whether it was composed of gold or silver. The unit is merely the name or denomina- tion of the coin used in computation and in keeping sccounts, and if Congress had seen proper to make the dime the unit instead of the dollar it would not have changed the actual or legal value of the coins to any extent whatever. The only effect of such a provision would have been that instead of counting in dollars and fractions of dollars as we now do, we would have counted in dimes and fractions of dimes; that is, instead of saying “one dol- lar” or “one dollar and a hali,” we would have said “ten dimes” or “fifteen dimes.”” The franc, worth a little over nineteen cents, is the unit in France, and the mark, worth about twenty-four cents, is the unit in Ger. many, no matter whether the franc or the mark is represented by coin or by paper; but, notwithstanding the fact that their unit is much smaller than ours, and, therefore, much less valuable, their stundard of value is as high asours. The defect in the reasoning of our free-silver friends on this subject is that they constantly confuse the unit of account with the standard or measure of value. They are entirely different things and have no necessary connection with each other. The words ‘‘unit of value” were never used in any coinagelaw of the United States until Feb- ruary 12,1873, and then they were applied to the gold dollar conteining 23.22 grainsof pure gold, or 25.8 grains of standard gold. Tne fact that this quantity of goldis not now coined into a single piece is wholly immaterial. That quantity of gold constitutes a standard or measure of value for our dollar, and when men eontract for payment in dollars they mean dol- lars equal in value to 25.8 grains of standard gold. The authors of the act of 1792 estab- lished (legally) two standards—a gold standard and a silver standard—but, in fact, both of them could not be continuously used at the same time. As long as 371.25 grains of pure silver were actuslly equal in value to 24.75 grains of pure gold there was in fact but one standard, although represented by two metals; but when these quantities of gold and silver ceased to be equal to each other in value, one or the other necessarily disappeared as a standard. This is just what happened, and gold went out of circulation; silver became the actual standard, and so remained until after the pas- sage of the acts of 1834 anda 1837. The efforts of the two acts of 1834 and 1837 were in effect to change the ratio petween gold and silver from 15 to 1 t0 15.988 to 1 (commonly called 18 to 1), and the result ot this change was that silver went out of circulation, because 1t was under vaiue 1n the law, and gold took the place and oecame the actual siandard of value from that time on. Very uul! yours, . G. CARLISLE. —_—— NAME A STATE TICKET. Sound - Money Demucrats of Missouri Conclude Their Convention.

CHICAGO, 1iL., Aug. 27.—The an- nouncement of the appointment of an ad- visory committee of six men outside the regular Democratic party by Chairman Jones of the National Committee may be expected this week. The Senator said to- day to a reporter for the United Associated Presses on the subject: *‘Iam consider- ing the announcement of an advisory committee representing organizations which are working together with the Democratic party in a common cause, but 1 shall not give out the names to-day, as I contemplated. I propose to have six members who will represent the Populists, exclusively silver men and silver Republi- cans. It is desirable that we should have free consultation and expression of ideas as to what ought to be done and what ought not. This committee will facilitate our work in the campaign.” The chairman’s distinguished visitors to-day were Senator Pettigrew, Benator Faulkner, chairman of the Congressional campaign committee, and I. N. Stevens of Colorado, vice-chairman of the central committee of the Silver party. Senator Pettigrew’s mission was to arrange for the South Dagota campaign, in which he is vitally interested on account of his Re- publican bolt, and also to see what the programime of the speakers and literature, etc., was for the Northwest. Senator Faulkner’s business related to Washing- ton contracts for printing campaign docu- ments and for their distribution under the Congressional committee’s auspices. Mr. Stevens came to tell of the Silver party’s campaign plans and co-operation with the Bryan campaigners and to ab- sorb information of like character from the Senator. Senator Pettizrew met Marcus Daly of Montana at the Auditorium Hotel, and held a secret conference with bim. The talk around political headquarters was that the nowers of Pettigrew’s persuasion were being directed toward a conversion of the Montana copper king to the sup- port of the free-silver ticket, Mr. Daly having been put in the gold class since his recent visit to Chairman Hanna at Chicago headquarters. —_— TRUE DEMOCRATS OF ORIO. Hickory Sound-Money Men Select the Tree as Their Emblem. COLUMBUS, Oxro, Aug. 27.—The State convention oi sound-money Democrats to-day elected the following delegates at large to the Indianapolis convention: Ex-Congressman J. H. Outhwaite of Co- lumbus, ex-Congressman George E. Seney of Titfin, ex-Congressman W. E. Haines of Fremont, and General Michael Ryan of Cincinnati. Alernates—W. H. Manley of Ottawa, Herman Melich of Zanesville, W. J. Colburn of Toledo and Moses R. Dickey of Cleveland. Presidential elec- tors—Judge W. A. Lynch of Canton and W. A. Medary of Columbus. Electors and delegates to the National Convention were chosen in each district and tbe hickory tree was chosen as the party emblem for use on the Australian ballot. A resolution was adopted author- izing the State Central Committee to place true Democrats on the State ticket instead of Democrats nominated by the Populists under the fusion agreement. The platform protests against the action of the recent Chicago convention as un- wise, unpatriotic and un-Democratic. As a crowning folly it proposes to debase our standard of value by the free and un- limited coinage of silver. It denounces the spirit and purpose of the Chicago platform as the most dangerous and revo- lutionary ever proclaimed in this country by a National convention. President Cleveland’s administration is indorsed. it g Populists of Ohio. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Aug. 29. — The Populist State Convention to-day indorsed the nomination by the Democrats of C. A.
