William J. Bryan was the chie speaker at the Nashville Exposition on the 8th inst., which had been sci apart as Nebraska Day. He took the position that the Chicago platform was still the guide-book of the Democratic party, which is much stronger than i1 was a year ago, and he notified hii hearers at the outsot that he would devote himself to an exposition of th< evidences which showed that thc Chicago platform is being vindicated. 1'he more striking parts of the speoch are given in the following extracts: "I wan:, to say to you that events are coming to our rescue, and that the platform is stronger to.day than it was a year ,ago ; and 1 prophesy that il will be stronger a year from now thani it is now. We are not apologizing. We are not on the defensive. We are on the aggrt ssive. We are still press. ing the battle along those lines and our enemy of last year is furnishint us proof that we are right. Therefore, to-night, 1 am going to spend my time laying down propositions for our op onents to meet. "In the first place, I assert that our plank in regard to arbitra tion is stronger now than it was h.st year, and you can challenge any Republican to dispute that proposition. " 13ut that is only one plank. We denounced government by injunction and some said that we rt l:cted upon the courts. We did not. We simply insist that even a judge is a servant oI the people, and the people have the right to limit the jurisdiction of their courts, as they have the right to de clare that a man charged with crime shall be tried by a jury and not by a judge. " It is for the people themselves to say what jurisdiction their judges shall exercise and what shall be the methods of trial. The dilliculties growing out of the coal strike have called the attention of the people to the dangers that lurk in government by injunction. " Let me call your attention to an other thing : We opposed the tem t last year. We denounced the trust. We insisted that it was hostile to the genius otur institutions. We insisted that a government like ours must be great enough to suppress a trust organized to drive out competition and then plundering the public after coin petition had been destroyed. The op position to trusts is stronger than it was last year, because the people have seen what it was to have the trust draw a tariff bill in the pretended in terest of the rest of the people. That tariff bill, more than any bill that hat ,-ver been drawn, was drawn by the trusi and for the trust. One of the raember: of Congress called attention to a recen1 decision in a German court in whict the court held that the trust was in keeping with the idea of protection that if you gave a tariff to a manu facturing industry, you expected the In dustry to take advantage of it, and if it becomes necessary to form a trust In order to get the advantage of that tariff law, then the trust must have been in contemplation of those who framed the law. That is not the exact language, but if you will read the qu: tation from the German court you will find that he sustains our contention, that It is absurd to give a trust the protective tariff and then complain that they did not it can to take advant age of it.. " My friends, the tariff bill ha: been written. Congress met. ( ong'css did not have time to abolish government by injunction, but Congras did have time to turn over the taxing power of this nation to a sy ndicate of the United States. " A Republican up in Nebraska was asked last Monday whether he thought the Dingley bill had anything to do with the rise in wvheat. 'Well,' said he, 'It was at least a striking coin eldence.' Now, I don't, know whether you have anybody in this State who sees a striking c'oincidence in the rise of wheat just about the time the Ding ley bill was pas3ed, but If there is.I want to call that person's attention. to another striking coIncidence. Wheat has fallen 10 cents from the highest point I. reached. 1t was up to a dollar one dlay in Chicago; I thin k it is down now to something liko 90 cents. it has been as low as 88 cents,. and what worries mc is how 'can the Republi cans account for the fact that after the Republican party raised wvheat to a do'lar, it let It go down again ? It is a striking coincidence. Now, if it is-a good thing to have wheat at a dollar, and the Repoblican p)arty put It th'ire, in the first p lace, how can it excuse itself for lettiLg it.go down again ? "\Well, then, there is another thing that, to my mind, is a striking coin cidence. Now, the rise In wheat; un less it is followed by a rise in other things, might not be a universal blessing. Take my own case. for in stance. My farm is in cotrn. I have five acres near Lincoln which J had saved. ,.I had sav3d the- five acres for a dumping ground for te world's silver. (Great applause.) I.had ssome Republican friends who seemed to be afriaid that if we had free coinage our country would be. iled .as a: dumping around for the world's siver and so I just saved that live acres, and If I had been elected I was going to surprise: my timId R-publican friends by olfe lng it as a dumping ground for all the sliver of the world, so that it would have hold it all-so that the Renubli cans would not have been bothered by having it. Blut the election went against us, and -I- saw 'that for- four years, at least, my land would not bc needed for a dumping ground, and so I put It in corn. But It is juist my luck. I am somethIng like the man -.who, after a series of misfortunes, said if it rained soup) he wouldn't have aug spoon. You see, I didn't, know t)hal HaIinna had planned a famine in India Now, my friends, I don't speak o0 l with any feeling of sadness or disap pointmoent, because I have no right t< exp)ect any insido Information undel thIs administr-ation. Bunt, as I canno exp)ect to get in o,n the ground tioni when these famInes ar-e going to bi scattered over- the woirld's surface foi the benefit of our people, I have madi up my mind1 to (10 what every mat must do when ho has to take his chances. I am going to put a part of my live acres in wheat, a part in corn, a part In oats, and a part in potatoes, and then Hanna can't have a famine anywhere but what 1 will be on top. " But let mo pass to another subject. We said last year that the gold stand ard was bad and we denounced the gold standard, said it was anti-Amuri can sak it was un-American, do clarca war against it, and announced to the world that it was a war which would not end until that golo standard was driven from the United States back to E0ngland. You heard Republican speakers say that the gold att. dard was the standard of civiliza tion. You heard thom praise it, and yet, my friends, the first act of the Repubicans' present 'administration was to ask for an appointment of a commission to go to Lurope and try to get rid of the gold standard, which the Republicans praised last fall. "Republicans, you think a high tariff is a good thing. Don't you know that whenever you have a high tariff you always have some party denounc ing it ? Democrats, you tink a low tariff a good thing. Don't you know that whenever you have a low tarill you generally find some party denounc ing it? And yet we had bimetallism for eighty-one years, and no party over Jenounced it. That is a record which any party can be proud of. Ask your Republican friends what they have to say against so unanimous an indoiso ment of bimetallism. " But there is a harder proposition than that. We have abandoned bimet allism and adopted the gold standard without any party in the United States asking for it. What do you think of that? Change the linaucial policy of a nation, go from a system universally commended for eighty-one years to an 6xperiment, and no party aeking that it be done. I allirm that the Ameri can people never adopted the golu standard. It was adopt.. d for them by Congress. I affirm, next that Congres, 'lid not know that it was adopting the gold standard when it did it. Why, the Speaker, as Mr. Gaines has sug gested, did not know it when he signed the bill. Senators and members stated that after it was found out that they did not know that the bill changed the monetary system of the nation. " Well, now, for twenty years we have had people say that it was im possible to get a bill through Congres :ontainmng an important provision without the knowledge of Congress. Republicans, d;d you know that event, nad robbed you of this argument that you have buen making for twenty years? If any Renublican tells you that it is impossible to get a bili through Congress containing a provi ,ion of which congress is ignorant, you ask him who put t,ection 22 into the Dingley bill. " L-t inc lay down another proposi tion, and, Rpublicans, this is the hardest of the three. We had the gold standard for twenty-three years, and in all that time no political party in national convention praised it. What do you think of that? Do you know of any other policy that was ever so bad that the people endured it for twenty-three years when it had no party defending it? It Is true of the gold standard. Will any advocate of the gold standard explain why the blessings of the gold standard wore so concealed that no party discovered those blessings for twenty-three years? My friends, this is not fiction ; this is history. I wanti o ask your gold stand ard friends wiy it was that for twenty-three years every party held out the promise of abandoning tha gold standard ? "If you doubt that we were on the Democratic side last fall, read what some of the loading Democ-rats said after we ,had Instructed a majority. Thcy went. to Chicago boasting that when the delegates found out how the delegates from New York felt about, it that they would disobey their instruc tions--actually boasted that in sp)ite of instructions to the contrary they would still carry the convention; but they did not do it. My friends, it is bad to have those leave uq who have worked with us, but of all tbe Demo cratic conventions to ieave, I would rather have any p)retended Democrat leave that convention than any other convention the party over held, be cause he cannot go out and say ho was a D)emocrat. " According to the returns, seven millions and a little more favored the Lecpublican platform. But did you ever read the Republican platform ? That was not a gold st.andar-d platfor m, I believe, that it carried out. It is thie same as a gold-standard p)latform, but it does not declare for the gold stand ard. That platform declared for the double standardJ. It pledged the Reo publican. party to do. what. it could to secure.International 1)1imots,llism, and Mr. McKinley, in his letter of accep tance, renewed the pledge, and when he was elected he started to carry out the pledge and recommend the ap potintmeL.t of a commission. D)o yoti mean to say that it is a victory for the gold standard to elect .a p)arty p)ledgcd to get rid of it? And yet, my friends, that is just what the American people d,id. SIx and a half millions of people voted for indlependeni bimetallism; seven millions for inter-national himnet allism ; thirteen millions and one half people voted to conidemn the gold standard after twenty-three years of trial. " There was another pilatform vote. The bolting D)emnoerats adopted a lat form In which they declared that,the gold standard was good. Well, my friends, If anybody wanted to 'rote for the gold standar-d there was a plat form that expressed his ideas. They nominatedI their tIcket, they went out and made their fight and they polled 132,000 votes, or a little less than I lier cent of the votes of the United States. "In that mInority report you will find that the bolting Domocrats do clared that they were afraid that free coinage would interfere with the security of international bimetallism, toward which they said every oIYol't should ho dlirected ;so you see .at Chicago they wanted to get rid of the gold standard and they we opposed to free coinage for fear it would In terfere with the getting rid of the -gold standlard(. Now, I do not know whether you have any gold-standard Democrats In your town or not, but, Imy friends, I war.t a gold Democrat to anawar this question i" Did the gold Democrats believe In a gold standard at' Chicago?' if they did, they tried to practice a fraud upon their com panions in the convention, for there they were in favor of international bimetallism. " Peter Cartwright was once asked if he was sanctified, and he said, 'Yes, In spot s.' The gold Democrat is honest in spots. i s pends so much time in talking about honest money that he has no time to be honest in hie efforts to get any kind of money. Now, my friens, you cannot evade the proposi tion. The gold Democrat was either a fraud and pretender at Chicago or he was a bimotallist. But I do not want to dwell longer on this phase of the subject. "Now, during the campaign soei Republicans abused me. Some papers said hard things against inc. If there arc any liepublicans here to-night I am going to convince them I am a better man than they gave me credit for. It is not worth while for a man to stand out on a cold night and talk to the people who wvnt through the fight last fall without losing their integrity. I want somebody against me. My friends, I want to convince you that I am a better man than the Ropublicans thought I was, and a better patriot. I was proud of the manner in which our people snbmitted to defeat; proud of the p :ople who bowed to the will of the majority. We did not know jutt where the majority came from, but we bowed to it. But, my friends, 1 am in favor of doing more than accopting defeat gracef.lly. I believe in helping them carry out every good policy which they proposed. I believe in bimetal lism. From the bottom of my heart I want it. I am in favor of independent bimetallism. I would not wait for one moment for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth to decide on tho policy of our financial system. But it will be three years before we can get a chance t:) put our plans in execution. Par three years we must wait, and in the meantime 1 am willing to help the liepublicans get international biiu tallism, if there is any possibility of securing it. I know they will got the credit if they bring it, but if they bring It, they are entitled to the credit for it, and if they hring it I shall re joice as sincerely, as emphatically, as any Republican who favors interna tional bimetallism. I believe that when they try to get international himetallism, until we can put our plans in operation, we ought to help them. I am in favor of helping Wol aott to try and scare those capitalists, and 1 am speaking twice a day to back him up. He says if they don't do something right away the free silver party will win, and I isay so, too. lie points out that the silver move ment is growing, and I want to make it grow. Well, my friends, 1 am so earnest in this matter, 1 am so anxious to have bimetallism, if the Republi can party brings it I am willing to give the Republican party a plan which they can use to secure international bimetallism and get the credit for it. I will tell you what my plan Is. We have elections in several States this fall. Now, my plan is for all itopubil cans who believe in International bimetallism to join with us this fall to make the vote for silver as large as possible. I want to carry every State where there is an eleotion by an over whelming majority for free silver. Then what? The news will go across the ocean ; Wolcott will be waiting to ;et the news, and when he gets the message that every-one of these States iavo gone for silver, he will rush to .he big financiers and will show them the telegram and say, '.Didn't I tell ou so. If you don't hurry and send lelegates to that conference the free silver party will win. You have got bo have those delegates sent at once.' Now, my friends, reforms como to get rid of abuses, and reforms are inititated and supplorted by the people wihe suifer from abuses, and every re form that has been achieved of great benefit to mankind has come in spite of and not because of the capitalist. And yet the Republican party would turn over the Ilnanicies of this country --thle future of our country and the welfare of ouri children, not to local but to foreign financiers. I denounce Lhmat platform as the most Infamous one 3vtr adopted and any man ought to blush to stand upon it. " But enough of that. Let me call your attention to another fact that has been exp)lodled in their argument. rhey said all we needed was confidence. We had an election and it went their way, and accor-din g to the headlines, .hcy cannot complain of the size of Lhoir majority. They said confidence was restored. They said : 'Now pros perity would come,' and did for two imonths. Why, the tm-ado papers told a how business was looking up). Trho boom* lasted nearly a month ; long nenughl for the pecolie to spend thle money tihe itepublcans put in circula tion on election day, and then it :lropped again. " Then times got worse. There we'e more banks that failed within tile drst six mnont,hs after confidence iias restored than there had been failures in the corresponding six m'onths of the year before. More busi ness houses failed in the first six months after the restoration of con tidence than had failed during the same period of the year p)rcvious. Times got bad and they got worse, and then they got worse still until they got so bad that many people concluded that I must have been elected. " But after about six months thingjs began to look up. Do you know where the inrat ray of hope came from ? it came from the J(londlke. I read you a dispatch from London, and since the Re'publicans have transferred the legislative power to the hands of foreigners, London is the place whence cometh their hope ; and the first riey of hope came from the discovery of gold in the British possessions at JKlon dike. And they rejoice, and men who had been silent for six months actually laughed on tile streets. Many men who had not been able tj give an ex cuse for what they did last fall put on spring clothes an d came down town. But whlat right did the Reopublicans hlave to rejoice over the discovery of more gold ? Didn't they tell us there was enough gold in the world .-If there was enough gold, any rmore would be too much. And yet the Re p ublicans actually laughed to find cut it was well to have more gold.
