C Wall, F. W. Von Cothauaen, Julius
Schnendel and P, J, Somera .
. At Waukegan, where about 700 peo
ple demanded a speech from Mr. Bry
an, he was introduced by Mr. Wall as
the Heat President of the United
Statesfitnd said: “Ladles and Gentle
men, I haven’t time to make a speech,
but I am very glad to see yon, whether
: you are drawn here by what opposing
! papers call idle curiosity or by inter
| est in the eaure being presented in
• this campaign. I am inclined to be
i lieve there is a great deal of interest
\ among the people on both sides of this
1 question. Borne believe the success of
| the free silver cause would be detri
| mental to the country. They say they
are earnestly opposed to ns. Others
believe that there can be no
general return of prosperity to
the people of the United , States
until we stop the depreciation of
money by giving the* people more
standard money. It is natural to be
lieve that these people feel interested.
, It is not for one man to say how an
other shall think, or act or vote, but
I believe we have the right to urge
upon you the importance of studying
the question for ourselves and not
allowing anybody to think for you.
I do not believe there Is any class of
people who ean safely be intrusted to
the right to think and act for another
clasa The ballot is given to the cit
izen in order that each citizen may
make his vote represent not what
somebody else may think, but what
he wants himself. I simply ask you,
during the days which intervene be
tween now and election day, to study
the issues presented in this campaign,
and when you have made up your
minds, have the courage to vote as
you please, and no'one can question
your right to do it. I thank you.”
CHEEKS AND COUNTER CHEEKS.
There was a loud cheer when Mr.
Bryan had finished. Then some one
proposed “Three cheers for McKin
ley,” and about half the crowd gave
them with a will. These were fol
lowed by return cheeiing for the
Democratic nominee, which continued
until the train pulled out
At Kenosha a thousand people were
waiting. To them Mr. Bryan spoke
as follows: “Ladies and gentlemen:
It is natural in a country like this,
where all the power emunates from
the people and where officers are
chosen by the people, they should feel
an interest in pnblio affairs and cam
paigns through which they pass.
When the time comes when the great
question forces itself to the front the
interest is deepened, and *we have
reached such a time. Often it is a mat
ter of comparatively little import
ance whether an issue before the peo
ple is settled this year or next, or a
few years in the future; but there are
times when great results depend on a
campaign, and we have reached such
a time. The money question has been
forced upeii the attention of the peo
ple by ■ those who are not satis
fiied with the gradual appre
ciation of the dollar, but have sought
to hasten its rise. It certainlv has
been too rapid for the welfare of
the people, but those who were the
beneficiaries of the appreciation of the
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
ed to hasten its rise by action still
more hostile to the white metal. They
have not been content to let the peo
Ele have an increased value of money,
ut have seoured the repeal of the
Bherman law and put nothing in its
place and then begun to issue bonds
because hard times had made it ?m
possible to invest money in enter
prises. Property has fallen and when
property is falling people do not waut
to invest in property. They want to
invest in money and then when money
was idle and they could not find profit
able investments in enterprises some
wanted to draw a good interest on
such investments. In my judgment
those who want a safe investment
and wanted government bonds issued
were to a large extent responsible for
the result. In our platform we have
declared against the issue of bonds in
times of peace. When you come to
consider these questions, the interests
6f the people who must pay taxes
which pay the bonds should be con
sidered rather than the people who
desire to prodt by taxation wrung
from a people already overburdened.
We knew when we put the clause in
our plstform against the issue of
bonds we would lose'the bondholders,
but we want the people who pay the
taxes ”
THE 1X1ICBIIT CHARGE.
A conservative estimate of the
crowd at Racine to meet Mr. Bryan
would be 1,800 people and it seemed
if each one was trying to outdo all
others in cheering. Captain W. B. <
Vance of Racine introduced Mr. j
Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentle
men: When I see a large number of
people like this who seem to he inter
ested in the success of the campaign
upon which we have started, 1 some
times wonder whether it is possible
that yon people are deserving of the
names that are applied to you. If am
an Anarchist, then all who want me
elected must be Anarchists also. When
I look into your faces I wonder
whether you are all enemies of the
government or enemies of those who
want to use the government as a pri
vate snap. There is a great difference
between being against the govern
ment and against uicw who misuse
the government Andrew Jacks on said
there were no aeoesaary evils in gov*
eminent; that ita evils grew oat of
its abase. Home people do not
drew any lines between government
and the abuse of government, and
whenever people speak out against
an abase of government those who
are making money out of the abase
'generally find fault with the people
| who complain and try to put them in
!the attitude of opponents of govern
ment. 1 want to assure you the most
loyal supporters of government are
not found in great trusts which think
tkey are greater than the government
end control It, They are found among
the masses who want to secure love
for the government by every eitlsen
by making it so good It will deserve
their love. Remember yon cannot
reform evil by talking, you have got
to reform it by voting. People may
complain as much as they like
?*out, il ^ad ,aw- bnt the way
to get rid of it is to repeal it and the
way to repeal it is to vote for those
who believe in repealing the laws that
are bad and not those who want to
make more bad laws and keep all the
bad laws already in existence. If the
people of this country would all rec
ognize the power of the ballot and
use that power as they should, there
would be less complaint against injus
tice. If our laws are bad, remember
the people who permit the laws to re*
main bad are to blame. If our lawi
are to be good, those who want them
good have got to make them good. I
thank you.”
