AT FREDERICKSBURG, VA.
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

ment for many years are interested in
making that government good enough
to live under. (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

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

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

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

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

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.

of the world. 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. Now tot m* read

tbe questions which ooooern agricul

rear agodfre wm quoted os saying to n
armor audience in Germany thnt the
fnrmors must stand together and pro

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

KKV1EW or THE SEASON.
As this is tbe last bulletin of the

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 age of Victoria is also the age
of the telegraph. Sixty vearsago that
word could not be found In the dictioo-
threading its course underneath tha
waves of the ocean. Only a few weeks
ago a telegraphic message, starting
from the city of New York, completed
its world-wide journey during tha
hour In which it started. Such, in
deed, hM been the progress of this re
markable science during the reign of
Victor!* that toe vast extent of toe
globe itself Is subjected to the orltieel
aurvey of every maa who reads the
dally newspapers.
Next to the telegraph, if notofeqnsl
importance, oomef the marvelous in
vention of Edison, which hM virtually
accomplished the miraculous fee* of
converting night into day. Without
enlarging upon this innxnnixtoit
miracle, it is ndBotent to observe that
it Delongs to the age of Victoria.
