The governor was warmly reused. As Dr drier has well ud, h< began, tliia is Bryan's ty lie needs no introduction > you at iny hands. Althouth s lives a thouaand miles away from us, becomes not : ? a stranger His 11aisk' luis lu'comc a household word, and I assure him that mneteuths of the | U!Oj >lc of SllUl il Carolina arc with him heart and soul in t'co great li^ht he is making. in behalf oi 1 h-shinc college and tli*' people of *s.nith Carolina 1 welcome you. Mr Brvan advanced to I ho. front and as the people gazed upon his strong, in dcetual face and saw the determination of deep ami earnest conviction reflected therein there was a repetition of the stirring scene at lend in t; hisappoaranee on the rostnun. The speaker began by thanking his hearers for the heartiness of the welcome that had been accorded him, ami assuring them of the pleasure it gave him to address a South Carolina audience, lie was glad of an opportunity to address students. The student mind was in a receptive state and once impressed with and enlisted in a cause he thought was right and he would work with heart and soul to link achievement with success. The one thing for a young man to do in starting life is to recognize what is best. And he would urge young men and young women to study with this goal in view and arrive at a conclusion which would conform to their judgment and their conscience. Mr Bryan then began to discuss the money muddle. lie regarded it as the one question of paramount importance. Whenever ' the government conies in contact with the citizen the government should he no respecter of persons. Our government is founded on the principle that all men are created equal. It stands for equal rights to all. This is the test fo apply to all questions whether economic in their hearing or otherwise. The speaker then proceeded to compare gold monometallism with bimetallism. Bimetallism, he said, is the conservative doctrine and it appeals to the conservative sentiment because it is the old policy. The gold standard is tho experiment. Bimetallism was tho policy of tho I'mtod States from 17t>2 to 1S73?eighty one years of continuous bimetallism and its advantages wore no apparent that no party during that time over denounced it. The speaker then discussed the action of JelTerson, *o harped on hv gold lnigs, in suspending the coinage of ?-ilver dollars and explained the acts of ";?4 and '53. Mr Bryan then called attention to the fa? t 'hat the change from the double standard to the single standard was made without any parly c>er a.Ting f ?r it. The members of congress were not even aware of the purport of tlx act when it was passed. Mi Biuine, who was speaker of tlx. house at that time, aiterw ird j confessed that he was not aware of tho character of the hill. Thi may seem startling hut it very frequently happens that l-ills pas which the members or emigresarc not familiar with us illustrate! | by the crwe of "section 2*2" ii the Dingloy loll. 1 Continuing the speaker said i the gob! standard was u goo< thim; the American people ough , to have recognize*! '. soon ni'tt i i was foisted on tho country. Bu we endured the gold standard foi twenty-three years before an> party would stand sponsor for it Mr Bryan then di?cuased a is ccinctnries, as monuments to \N iu system. Some of these citi- II us tlms eut down in the tlower of M various manhood, were not vio- K tinany law, Imt merely attend- CI g to their ordinary duties.

He said the laboring class in France, Knglund and (iermany were heartily sick of gold mono nietallism. They petitioned theirlaw makers and plead for a change I w. conuiuons. V\ hy in i the face of nil this did not the : English government fall in with ithe plan set forth by the commission? It was because a little co tori of banners and financiers met 1 in secret conclave, denounced biI metallism, refused to tolerate it land then sent forth their ultimatum. What does it mean? The ! people in this country, in France, England and Germany must endure a system which they do not want.

The speaker said he had never been a precocious child but as far I back as he could recall he had alI ways seen enough to know that when one end of the 'teeter board' went up the other went down. He then proceeded to apply with t?-11 ing effect the 'teeter board' illustration to finance 'as .she is now.* i The speaker then quoted from Carlisle, Sherman and Hlaine Infore they went astray after strange gods. He said Mr Carlisle bad gone over to the other side out he had never been able to answer his own former speeches. '(rold bugs,' he began and then stopped.
