_ _ THE PEOPLE'S _ORA._ VOL. 6.---NO. 37 PICKENS, S.' C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER i 1896 Bryan's Campaign Speeches. AT JIIC0DEt1CKSBURtG, VA. An Eloq uuent Tribute to Motherihood at the Giave of Mary Washnikgton. On his journey to Washington, D. C., Mr. Bryan halted for a short timne at Frodericasburg, Va., and he was taken to the monument lately erected to the memory of Mary Washington, the mother of George Washington, where a stand had boon orected, and the candidate addressed a large gathering of Virginians as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I am grate ful to the mayor of your city for his eloquent words of welcome; I am glad to renew my acquaintance with my colleague in Congress who has so kindly presented me, and I am ploased to groot the people who have assembl ed in large numbers on this occasion. Fredericksbu: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 am glad to feel intluences which surround I or grave. In a campaign, especially In a campaign like this, there is bit ;,orness and sometimes abuso levelled ag.-Jinst the candidates for pub lIb oflico, b it my friends there is one character, the mother, the cai.didate for t he allot tion of all mankind, against whom no tr nio man over uttered a word of abuso. (Great applause.) And there is one nami "mother " which is never founo upon the tongue of the slanderor; i-i her prosenco, all (riticisin is silent. 'he painter has with his brueh tran. ferred the landscape to the canvass so I hat you can almost believe that the troe s and grasses are real rather than imitat ons. The painter has even tratferred to the canvas the face of the maidon until its beauty and purity almost spe ,k forth, but there is one picture whi ih no painter has ever been ale to fa. -lifully portray, antd that is a picture of a mother holding in her arims her btbe. (Great applaube.) Within the .hadow of this monument reared to h-r who in love and loyalty was the mother of each one of us, I bow in humblic 'civerence to miotherhood. (Great al)piuse. I am told that in this county were fougUt uore battles than in any county of like size in the world and Liaat upon the earth within the limits of tiii counuty the ro fell inore dead and wouid ed than ever fell on a sinilar ,pace in all the his!tory of the world. liere opposing lines were drawn up, face to face hero )pposing armies met and stared at U; cl other and then sought I to take ctel others' lives, htit all those scenes hav passed away and those who moot n dead ly array now meet and commigle here as friends. (A p plauo.) Iero the ploughsharo has been mado out of the sword and the spears havu been converted into prun ing hooks and people learn war no more. Hero the bands on either side stir up the flagging zeal with notes that thrill the hearts of men. Those two bands are now component parts of one great band and as that band inarches on in the lead play-ing," Yankee I Doodle " and "Dixie," too, (great ap plause) behind the band follow war ecarred veterans who wore the blue and the war-scarred veterans who wore the gre.V, cach vicing with each other in the elort to make this the greatest and grandest nation on God's footstool. (Great cheering) I am glad to visit this historic place. I They say that here George Washing ton once. came and threw a silver dol lar across the river, but remember, my friends, that when he throw that sivor dollar across the river It lit, it fell and romained on American soil. (Great cheering.) They thought thati it was a great feat then, but we have developed so rapidlly in the last 100 years that we have financiers now who who can leavo George Washington's achievement far behind. We have finan-1 ciers who I ave been able to throw gold1 dollars all t.he way acr-oss the Atlantic and then t[ring themi back by an issue of bonds. (Gr-eat cheering.) Would you believe, my fiencds, that a silver dol ar which was good enough to be han' led by the father- of his coutntiry, is nowv sc) meani a thling as to excite the contempt of many of our so called3( fina iciers. (No, no ') Well, ,it is so mean . hat they don't i ike it. Why our ipponc its tell us that they want a dollar that wuillI go all over the world. We have h .d dollars which have gone over the we rid s0 rapidlly that we want a dollar th -,t will stay a~t home without e curfow 18 v. (Cheers.) Our opponents tell us thai they want a dollai- which they can stuo anywhere in tile wvorld if they travel abroad. I am not so much wori.-ed abiu t our dollars which traLvel abro'ad. I vant a dlollar thtat wont ho ashr~med ti look a farnmer in the face. (Lond appi) 1,use.) People c: nt have just as good a dollar as fthey wat it because dolla trs ar-e eri-a tures of lat v. iand y'ou can dleteimin te the putrcha i ig power of a dollar0 when you (deot-rmi ao the numbnker of clotlars. If you want, dollars dlear tmake them scacoc and thley will be0 dear. If our. dollars are goodl enough now whten a dollari will buy 10 bushels oif oats, you can makeo it. good enough so that it will buy 100 hiushoels of oats. (A Voice "'We dlon't -vant that, kindw of a clotllar."') If anybody her-e has been raIsing farm prodlucts aind comnplainiiing becautse thbey are not cheap enough you can1 make them chea! erx if you -vote the [&publ i cnticket t-his fall. AT Ti NATIONAL~ CAPITAis. Urges' the Dloctrine of' Homoc Iluc Makes an Assault on thne Clevelamnd Admnimr"catlin. Th'le crov:il in Wcashington was estk matedl at '),000, but aL rain storm i & torfered w ith the meeting. Mr. Bryan's speech wct- a9 follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentle men-I am grateful to you for the very cor'dlal welcome which you have ex tended to inc as I return to the city In which four years of mny otllal life wcoro spoent. Here one0 of the crowd, catching on to the words "four years," shoutedt " ' four year-s morec," and the point was quickly taken up and cries of ''good " and cheers were given. Mr. Bryai procceded : [ see before me the fac. s of a great many who are known as roung men. I am glad to spok to the young becaus. we who aro young and who in the course of nature must live under our govern mont for many years are interested in making that government good enough to live under. (Applauso.) I 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 those two planks because they cor. corn the people who live in 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 resources to entitle tben to statohoodl and while they remain territories we .iold that the ollicials appointed to ad minister the government of any terri tory, together with the District of Co lumbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the territory or dis trict in which the duties are to be per formed." (Applause.) I desiro 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 which I have emphasized, and when I say I believo in home rule, I do not imean that there shall be a home in the district or in the territories after the rulers conmence to rule, but that they shall live, there before they lire ap pointed. (Applalse.) Let me read another plank : " We are opposed to life teiure in the public service. (Applause.) We favor ap poutments based upon merit, fixed terms of office 1nd such an ad mlinlistra .ion of the civil service laws as will all ord equal opportunities to all citizons of ascertained litness except, as other wise provided by the constitution of the United States." We are in favor of a civil service re form that means something and not a utvil service reform that permits a I 'resident to suspend thi civil ervico unti ihe can get his frieods into ollice itn(d sustain the service juit as lie is Loing out so ats to keep his friends in. Applause.) We believe in appoint ments based upon merit and such a nethod of appointment as will open the olieca to mien of ascertained fi ness. W.re a:-e in favor of lixed terms of ollice n tho several departments of the overnLent. We want it so that Wi hen (ma goes in we will know liow long 1c is goinlg to sLay anid whlen ho is ,roing out. We don't want to Iild up in otlice-holding class and fill the >liices for life, so that when a mtian gets in office lie wzil have no0 m1iore con 'urni about hiis 'ouin try tlhanti to (1raw is salary. (Cheers.) We believe fhat tihe life tenure whicl relieves a nan from all further caro is destriue .ive of the h igcst forms of citizenship ind is not to be tolerated in a countrv ike ours. O'ur opponents aure doing as much for Is in this campaign as we are able to lo for ourselves. (laughter.) Of all he public documents recently issued, lie most important one is the letter ust given to the public, written by the ecretary of the treasury, from which desire to quote one sentence: "It s the duty of the secretary of the reasury and of all other public officials ,o excute in good faith the policy de lared by Congress," and, mark these vords, "and whenever he shall be atisfied 'that the silver dollar cannot )o kept equal in purchasing power vith the gold dollar except by receiv ng it in exchange for the gold dollar vhen such exchange is demanded, it vill be his duty to adopt that course." want you to mark these words, be ause in those words the secretary of he treasur-y tells you that whenever he secretar-y is satisiedl that it is ecessary that lie will commence re leemuing silver dollars in gold. ( laughi ,cr.) i now call your- attention to it )ecause I want to emphasize the dle septions wh-rch have been pr-aeticed by his administration on the money ques ion. (Applause.) When this ad ninistra~tion advised the rep~eal of the shecrma~n lawv, you were told the rep~eal >f the 83hcrmnan lawv would remiove the lillculty, and yet as soon as the Slier nan lawv was rep~ealedl, the samne aul ,hority wvhich plromised relief as5 soon as hat wvas repealed came to CJongr-ess vith the demand that the grecenbacks hid treasu ry niotes must be id Liredl by an ssue of gold bonds in order to stop the I ralin on the treasury geld. TJhe secr-etary of the treasury in or-ms you that, if the greenbacks and .hie tireasury notes were all retired, o that there wosdd iiot lie a dollar- of )iper0 money to be priesentedl for gold, let it would lbe his duty to comumene o0 redleem the silver- dollars in gold and o start another- end less chain that voulId druai n the treasury. According 0the doctrine laid down by Mr. Ca isle, you cannot stop) the dIrain upon1 mh treasur-y until you rotirc all the ailvier dollars and leave nothing but ~old in the tr-oasur-y vaults. I am ad that ouir opponents ar-u thu 15comI ellend to exIpose to the puihbl ic eye, their 'ieartless, mierciloss and criminal policy. I am glad that they have told the pub lic weo must have gold alone and thus biavo eon fessedl that wve are in the hands af two baniking syndicates and must paLy theni what they want. Talk about monopol is and trutsts and here they puroposol to estalishi the miost gigantic Liruslt-a money trust-andzI~ to let the mnen wvl't ow n the goldolo 0Outsit 1o the othier 7,000d,li00 of Amierican citizens. I denzio ueo that, policy as mnore cruel and hear-tl:ss than wvould be0 theo domina tion of any fore ign power. I woulId ru the z, ashad been Haid,- put onur army in the hand ms of a for-eig n general or our naivy inl commanihld of a foroign ad mirall tha l p ilut the treasu ry d1epart meiait ini the hands of a seeretahry w ho wvoziuh barter it awvay to a syndicate. (Ch eers.) I woulId uresis t such a Iiunan ciail pohe iy w ih as miiuch eatrnestnes as I wvould t1.h- agg r-ess-ivo and invading armiy. (Cheeris.) O)nce when Mr'. i ncoln was a candi dateu for ollicn, somte onie said to him: "I hope the I )rd is on your side,'" and he r-p~iled that he was more anxIous to he oni the b~od'5sido0. (Lauhighter and1 applause.) 1 am glad that ini this cam paign we have so mian~y evidlences that an overrul ig I 'rov idence is on our side and in no0 one1 instance that I know of Is that OVOrrlin zg 'rov ideneo~f so d Is tinctly and clearly manifested as in the recent letter oif the secretary of the treasury. Let me ask you a question. Did the administration when it recomn nlieded the repeal of the Shermian law believe it would curo our troubles ? iGries of "no" and cheers.) If it did then the administration was * so ab. solutely mistaken that you have the right to disregard and distrust the knowledge of the administration on this question. If the administration know 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 pursuce another. (Applause.) If the administration knew when it recommended iho retirement of the greenbacks and treasury notes as a means of stopping the drain on the gold in the treasury that after they were retired a policy would be propos ed such as the secretary now recoin 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 that 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 silver dollars and substitute bonds in their place ? (Applause.) Now, don't think my language is harsh. (llro a voice in the crowd shouted out, "It is not half hard enough," and this was greeted with atpplause.) Mr. Bryan continued : Tlhe'ice ineL are the public servants of the American people and they have no imloro right to betray the people into tie hands of the shylocks of London than Benedict Arnold hud to attempt, to betray the American army. (Great applause.) AT DOVER, J)LIj. A Iirect Altack Uponc the IRepib licanc Candicdate for Presidhent The Views ol' Primee Bimmmarek. Ladies and Gentleimen : Talking out (oors is so dillicult that I fullst beg you to help 1ue just as icuch as You can by keeping as qI uiet as possible and Jet i'c Say that if these people who believe in free silver were as easily seen through as the average gold standard argu ment there would be no objection to their standing up. (Great laughter and continued applause.) The chai rman aid that no presiden tial candi idato had ever before .poken in this State. Aside from Lh! fact that, I have been iaking quite a complete tour of the country I ha've an additional reason for speak;ng in I )latware. Wien the roll was called and the nom inatingt speeches for. the i'residency had been niade the first vote which I received was cast by one of the tdele gates from IDlelawar ', . Salisbuirv (applause) who lives i c this city, there fore it gives me a great deal of pleas ure to meet the people who sent him to Chicago. (Applause.) Now, I want to talk to you at while about, our linan cial condition: if things are good then there is no reason why we should make any change in the legislation. If our present condition is satisfactory then we ought to leave it alone and not make a change. No one can advocato any kind of remedial legislation except on the theory that there is something that needs remedying. Our opponents confess the condition, and when I tell you that you cannot remedy the present condition except by financial legislation, our opponents say that the trouble is in the tariff and then times would get good again. I want to read you an extract from a sileech made on last Saturday by the l11publican candidate for President at (Janton. He said: "Under the Republican protective p~olley we enjoyed for mnore than thirty years the most marvelous prosperity that has ever been given to any nation of the world. We not only had indi vidual prosperity, but we had national priosperitLy."' Now, there is a statement made with in a week by the Presidential candi date on the Illepublican ticket point ing back for thirty years, from 1860 to 1MI0, and telling the peohple that during tihe pecriod we enjoyed the most mar velous prosperity of any nation in the world and that we had both individual pcrosperity andi national prosperity. I want to shlowt you by thiis samell witness' very testimony given six years ago, that after' tiirty years of his kind of pol1icy the farimer's of this cou ntry wyore ott pro~spiero(us. I f you will take the report, fliied wi tic the Mel iinley bili on thbe liih oif A pril, l@0U, you wvill find the words vwic Icii wish to qutote: "'Tht, there is widespreadl depres sion in tihis inmdust~ry ttctday canilnot be doubted." (Speak inii of agricul ture.) TIhat is what the Pr'~esidential cand i date saidl w hen lhe deliberately wvrote the report amnd iiied it wvih Lis i1 pro posed leg isiltioni. 'IThnit ther~ie is widespread depression ini ticis country todaty cannt be' doubi~tedl."' ( Appl auso.) Again, in that. samem reportL, lie said: "One of tice cie f comphI, in ts no0w p)rev alent among onur farm ers it; that tbey can get, no( pmrice for the ir crcops at all coinmmensu rate to Lihe l abor and eaplitalI nvested in the ir' protdncetion." Th''cat, is what, he siid after ticirmty years (of tihe kind of poilicy wichl the cancldiate of tih e plepublicanc parity says5 will bring you prosperity. Ie t, me reatd agaiLin: "We have not bi) eveud that thce 10 peopl alreacidy ou lierm'ing fronm lw pr ices (enni or ill b he ,-ntishe.d withc legislationi whiilich ill rescilt, in lower1 prcs No: couintry ever suclfored w hen pr ice were fairly remiunrat.ive imi cv'ry !,'h! of labor."' After thirty years of that kind (of pol~ icy lbe telh 'yutat tice peo 1)1e are su Iferi ng from low pr ices and that no cuinti'ry eve r siie red wo; n 1)r'ices werec fa irly remuertave~ in cveiry fid o(f labor. No * let me read you againi whactt ne siiys in thiis samle rep~ort : " This greati nidulstry '-speak - ng of ag riculturoe---is foiremost in maignitude andi~ liportanon~iI ti our coiun try. its success and1( prosperiity ar'e vital to the nation. , No priosperity is possible to) other ind ustries if agricul tulre languishes." That is what hce said In 1890, that thero was dlepression in agriculturoe after- ticirty years of h is tarIff p)olicy and that wvithcout prosperCI ity in agrieulturo thore couIld be no prosperilty among the other industrieso of the countr'y. Let moc read just One other extract: "Thie depressionc in ag r iculture is not confinedc to the United States. The reports of the Agricul tural Department indicato that tils distress 18 general, that Groat 13ritain, Ilrance and Germany are sulfering In a larger degree than the farmiers of the United States." There le Is telling you that thOre is a dopression in agricultture, and giving tle names of threc prominent agricul tural nations of the old world and telling us that agricultural depres sion is even more iarked 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 appiauuo.) 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 about the condition of affairs in Ger mlany. Our Opponents are in the h)abit of telling us thalt 10 the civilized na tons are in favor of the gol(i stAnIldal d. The Gernans who hi e ill this country ploint with just pride to tile greatnces of this illustrious German, Princeo Bismarck. Let nie read to you what hie has said within a few weeks in re gard to bi-iletallisim and then see whether he testities that tile gold standard has been a good thing for Germany. (A pplause.) In a letter written to Governor Culbertson, of Texas. and dated on the 24th of August,' 1896, I'rinco Bisriarck has said : "Y Ir esteemed favor of .11uy Ist, has 1en duly received. I have aiwayi 4had a predilection for bi -metallisim. but I would Iot while inl olliec cihli iy views of the matter to be i (all ibly tru'e when advanced grainst the views of experts. I hold to this very hour that it would be advisable to bring about between the nations chielly engaged in thle world's colUlere it Ilutual agree Ilenit in favor of the establisim ient of bi-metallism.'' . If the gold standard had been a bless ing to Ger-many, Why Would lie not say that it would be better to kee1, the gold siardard instead of getting rid of the gold standard aNd subst ituting the double standard by international agree, INlit ?' "Considored from ILa comn i( reja standpcint the United States are freer by far in their inovenc-ts than any nation in Il'Xurope, and henc if the peo ple of the United Status find it con patible with their interests to take in dependent action ill the direction of bi-llettallisll I Cannot but hofleve that such actioll Would exert, at lost, sal itary iNilhience upon1 the consllllatioll (J i lite rInational agreenlilit, and the coM ing into this league of every Europtan We hlave thosC anollg our peopfle wV ]h have izaid that Soil other nIatiNol mu1st take the bjad.

(Great Ie and cheering.) Nt, only does PL, ineu 11i"Ilarek say that we are freer to take action than other nations, but he says if we act it will exert ai most salutary influence upon tile consiumlila tion of international agreement, anld the coming into this league of every European nation. Princ Bit; marck testifies first, the gold standard is the policy in Germany and he wants bi-metallism restored ; he testi ties, second, that the United States is in the best position of all the States to take the lead. He testifies, third, that if this nation takes the lead, it will have a salutary influence, not in prevelnting bi-metallism, but bringing other Dm tions of Europe into an international agreemunt. I desire that you all re member this testimony, comin from so distinguished an autthlority ill Ger many. Let me calil your' attention to anoither thing which Prince Bismarck said. OurN olponents tell us that we are ar raying One class against another. Leot me showv you wvhat Prince ]Bismarck hlas saidl in rega~rd to the cIlsses, Onl the questions wYhich concern agricu l tural dlepression. A little more than a year ago he was quoted as saying to at farmer auldience in GeranILNy that tile farmers must staLnd together and pro tect themselves from the drones of so ciety wvho produce nloting but laws. (Great appIIlautse.) 1temember- the sig ni hcance of thlosei words. that the farmers mlust stand~ togetheur and pro tect thomllselves from the drones of society who pirodulce no0th ing hut laws. Great alpp~lause.)
