An Eloquent Tribute to Motherhood at the Grave of Mary Waabtigton. Oa bis journey to Washington, D, C., Mr. Bryan baited for a short time at Fredericksburg, Va., and be was taken to the monument lately erected to the memory o! Mary Washington, the mother of George Washington, where a stand hud been erected, and the candidate aidressed a large gathering of Virginia is as follows: Ladles and Gentlemen : I am grate ful to the mayor of your city fo; eloquent words of welcome; 1 am glad, to renew my acquaintance with my colleague in Congress who has so kindly presented me, and I am pleased to greet the people who have assembl ed In large numbers on thip occasion. FredericksDU'g is not a large city and yet is rich in incidents of great historic value. Here the women of America have reared a monument to Mary, the mother of George Washington. (Great applause.) I am glad to stand on this spot; I sm glpd to feel influences which surround her grave. In a campaign. there is bitluroees and sometimes abuse levelled against the candidates for pub lic offloe. but my friends there is one ! character, the'mother, the caLdldate for the aflectiooof all mankind, against; whom no true man ever uttered a word ot abuse (Great applause.)

(Applause.) t desire to call your attention to two planks in the platform adopted at Chicago, before touching on other matters con nected with the campaign. I speak, of these two planks because they con cern the people who live ip the Dis trict of Columbia. The Chicago plat form contains this plank : “ We favor the admission of the territories of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona into the Union as States,' and we favor the early admission of all the territories having the necessary population and to entitle them to statehood^ were and while they remain territories we .told that the officials appointed to ad minister the government of any.terri- tory, together with the District of Co lumbia and Alaska, should be bona tide residents of the territory or dis trict in which the duties are to be per formed.” (Applause.) I desire to emphasize these words: “The Democratic party believes in home rule.” (Applause.) I believe in that platform and in that plank of the platform and that portion of the plank - •• -- - - t say I believe ia home rule, I do not mean that there shail be a home in the district or ia the territories after the rulers commence tovule, but that they shall live there before they ere ap pointed. (Applause.) Let me read another plank : " We are opposed to life tenure te the public service. (Applause.) We favor ap pointment* based upue mdril, fixed terms of office ed such an admintstrs tioe of the civil eervioe laws as will wise provided by the ooaelUuUee of the felted State.

If it did then the administration was so ab solutely mistaken that you have the right to disregard and distrust the knowledge of the admtnlstratlqe on this question. If the administration knew that the repeal of the Sherman law would not bring relief, then you have the right to distrust the honesty of the administration which would thus recommend one policy and pursue another. (Applause.) If the administration knew when It recommended 'he retirement of the greenbacks and treasury notes as a means of stopping the drain on the France and- Germany are suffering in pprtuuity they enjoy the privilege af our troubles ? a larger degree than the farmers of the United States.” There he Is telling vou that there is a depression in agriculture, and giving the names of three prominent agricul tural nations of the old world and telling us that agricultural depres sion is even more marked over there than it is here. I want you to re member that when you read in the paper that he said that for thirty years we had such marvelous prosperity In this country. (Great applause.) Now, my friends, I have quoted you that he said that there was depression in agriculture in Germany. I want to read you what Prince Bismarck says suffering because they have neglected the opportunity. (Applause.) If the laws are not good, the people them selves are to blame. In this campaign one great issue is presented to the peo ple. If everything is all right and what you wish H to be then it ought not be changed. If the gold standard U a good thing and we have had It these many years, why is it so many fail to appreciate its blessings. I will tell you, because Its blessings have only reached a few people who like it. (Ap plause.) -This is a campaign of education in which the newspapers are not doing gold 4° treasury that after they jAboui the condition -of affairs in Ger many. Our opponents arc in the habit of telling us that all the civilized na tions are in favor of th«. gold standatd. The Germans who IL e in this country point with just pride to the greatnes* of this illustrious German, Prince Bismarck. Let me read to you what he has said within a few weeks In re gard to bi-metalllsm and then see whether he testifies that the gold standard has been a good thing for Germany. (Applause.) Ia a Tetter written to Governor Culbertson, of T«'*a*. and listed on VNr .lit of August. ITTOI), Prince Bismarck has said: “Your, red s policy- would be propos- ed such as the secretary now recom mends, it was dishonest in not tak ing the people into its confidence at the time. (Cheers.) If it did not know that then, let it confess its Ignor ance of the offices and laws of the coun try. (Applause.) Does the administra tion know now thnt when It starts to redeem the silver dollars in gold, it will start another endless chain which will drain the treasury—endless chain which will continue until they retire all the sliver dollars and substitute ? t Appinnu.)

(Great cheering.) Would you believe, my friends, that a silver dollar which wm good enough to be handled by the father of his country, Is now so mean a thing m to • excite the ocutempt of maov of our sc- called financiers. (No, no!) Well, dt is so mean that they don’t like it. Wby our opponents tell us that they want a dollar that will go all over tbe world. We have had doFlars which have gone over the world so rapidly that we want a dollar that will stay at home without e curfew law. (Cheers.) Our opponents tell us that they want a dollar which they can see anywhere In the world if they travel abroad. I am not eo much worried about our dollars which travel abroad. I want a dollar that wont be ashamed to look a farmer in the face. (Loud applause.) People can have just as good a dollar As they want because dollars are crea tures of law, and you can determine the purchasing power of a dollar when you determine the number of dollars, you want dollars dear make them roe and'they will be dear. If our dollars are good enough now when a dollar will buy 10 bushels of oits, you can make it good enough so that it will buy 100 bushels of oats. (A Voice: “We don’t want that kind of a dollar.”) If anybody here has been raising farm products and complaining because they are not cheap enough you can make them cheaper if you vote the Republi can ticket this fall. eer he shall he AT THF NATIONAL CAPITAL.

I east y«*i to mark thee* words, be cause to those words the secretary of the IreMery tells yoo that whenever IJmi secretary is satisfied that it Is ■ sessssry that he will oommeace re deeming silver dollars in gold. (Laugh ter) 1 now call your attentioB to it because 1 want to emphMise the de ception* eh ch have been practiced by this administration on the money quee- tioa. (Applause.) When this ad ministration advised th j repeal of tbe Sherman tow, you were told the repeal of the Sherman tow would remove the difficulty, and yet m soon m the Sher man law wm repealed, the same au thority which promised relief m soon m that wm repealed came to Congress with the demand that the greenbacks and treasury notes must be retired i>> an issue of gold bonds in order te stop the drain on the treasury gold. The secretary of the treMury in forms you that if the greenbacks and tbe treMury notes were all retired, so that there would not be a dollar of paper money to be presented for gold, yet it would be hie duty to commence to redeem the silver dollars in gold and to start another endless chain that would drain the treasury. According to the doctrine laid down by Mr. Car lisle, you cannot stop tbe drain upon the treMury until you retire all the silver dollars and leave nothing but gold in the treMury vaults. I am glad that our opponents are thus com pelled to expose to the public eye, their heartless, merollessand criminal policy. I am glad that they have told the pub lic we must have gold alone and thus have confessed that we are in the hands of two banking syndicates and must pay them what they want. Talk about monopolies and trusts and here they propose to establish the most gigantic trust—a money trust—and to let the men who own the golff dole outfit to the other 7,000,000 of American citizens. I denounce that policy m more cruel and heartless than would be the domina tion of any foreign power. I would rather, m hM been said, put our army in tbe hands of a foreign general or in command of a foreign ad- than put the treMury depart ment in the haods of a secretary who would -barter u away to a syndicate.

We not only hod indi vidual prosperity, but we had national prosperity. Now, there is s statement made with in n week by the Presidential candi date on the Republican ticket point ing back for thirty years, from 1800 to 18110, and telling the people that during tbe period we enjoved the most mar velous prosperity of any nation In the world and that we had both individual prosperity and national prosperity. I want to show you by this same witness' very testimony given six years ago, that after thirty years of his kind of polipy the farmers of this country were not prosperous, you will take the report filed* with the McKinley bill on the 16th of April, 1890, you will find the words which I wish to quote: “That there is widespread depres sion in this industry today cannot be doubted.” (Speaking of agriculture.) That is what the Presidential candi date said when he deliberately wrote the report and filed it with his pro posed legislation. “That ’there Is widespread depression in. this country today cannot be doubted.”' (Applause.) Again, in that same report, be said: “One of the chief complaints now prev alent among our farmers ia that they can get no price for their crops at all commensurate tb the labor and capital invested in their production.” That is what he said after thirty years of the kind of policy which the candidate of the Republican party says will bring you prosperity. Let me read again: "We have not believed that the people already suffering from low prices can or will be satisfied with legislation which will result in lower prices. No country evqrjpuffered when prices were fairly remunerative in every field' of labor.” After thirty years of that kind of policy be tells you that the peo ple are suffering from low prloM and that no oouotrv ever suffered wnen prtoM were fairly remunerative In evesyjfleld of labor.

Our oppose ate toll us that we are ar raying on* clam against another. Let show you what Prison Bismarck hM said in regard to the classes, oa tbe questions which ooooern agricul tural depression. A little more thaa a rear agodfre wm quoted os saying to n armor audience in Germany thnt the fnrmors must stand together and pro tect themselves from the drones of so ciety who produce nothing but tows. Great applause.) Remember the sig nificance of those words, thnt the farmers must stand together and pro tect themselves from the drone* of society who produce nothing but laws. Great applause.) My friends, divide society into two classes; on the one side put the non- prodneers, and on the other side put the producers of wealth, and you will find that in this country the majority of the laws are made by the non-pro ducers instead' of the producers of wealth, and just m long m the non-pro ducers make the laws, just so long Will It be more profitable to bb a non-pro ducer of wealth. Bismarck tried to arouse the farmers of Germany to throw out these drones and tak charge of legislation themselves. 1 suppose they will call Bismarck an agitator. (Laughter and applause.) I suppose they will say that he ought not to array one class of society against another. Of course, I do not know how drones feel in a bee hive, but if drones could talk and make speeches, I will bjt that rou could not bell one of their speeches rom the speeches made by the heads of those great trusts who call every body anarchists who do not believe with them. (Applause.) I will ven ture that if a drone could talk and write and expense hit ideas in lan guage, that there is not a member of a syndicate that hM been beating this government, but who could take the drooe’s speech and use it as his own, end without his being accused of plagi arism. (Great applause.) My friends, thnt Is the only clnsa issue thnt we raise, and If to say the people who fight the aattoa’e battles ia time of war have a rig ui to do the legislating to time of peace, Ie raising against ctons, thaa I am aliuag to bn sailed aa agitator, mj frteads (Great Th*j co- *<1 the Ho lt.

There wm never a fairer con test ever waged. Thee we organised a bimetallic Democratic national league, hioh went out to do In the nation what free silver Democrats of Nebraska had done in that State. We carried the question to the primaries, and the voters instructed the delegates to the county conventions and from there to the State convention and from there to the national convention. We never had a convention in this country which more correctly represented the senti ment of the people who sent the dele gates than that convention which met at Chicago. It is honor enough to be the nominee of a contention for President. But it is a higher honor et to be the nominee of the most )emocratlc convention ever held in this country. (Applause.) It is suffi cient honor to be nominated by tbe machinery of a party, but it is a high er honor still to be nominated by the people in a party regardless of the ma chinery. (Applause.) Since that platform wm adopted the people have commenced td study the money question. What do they find ? They find that the people of the West and South, who have been Mking for the restoration of bimetallism, Instead to ruin the country are trying X. .(Great applause.) ^We are are trying to help our people.

KKV1EW or THE SEASON. As this is tbe last bulletin of the seaeon, a short review of the weather conditions since March is given, ac companied by a table in the regular report. * . Asto the temperature the tableshows that every month except June wm hotter than usual. More extended records than can be given here show that the excess averaged 2 degrees per dsy. It- hM been the hottest sou since systematic records have Xent, a period of 9 yetrs. Tha table shows that May aad September were relatively the hottest moeths of the year. As to rainfall, the seasoe oaa be divided toto three Arril aad May, with it. Tha Jaa* aad tha first half of July Uh a ~ m of civilixatioa.
