Y.-—Asks Some Questions of Silver's Koes. William J. Bryan, the Demooratio champion of free silver, spoke to an immense audience farmers and workingmen at the Hornelleville {N. Y.) fair during his tour through the State. Mr. Bryan said: Our opponents have no poliey on the money question They don’t say that the gold standard is good. No party in the history of the United States ever said that the gold standard was good. And yet, my friends, parties have existed here, parties have written platforms, parties have nominated candidates, parties have carried on campaigns, and yet no party from the beginning of our history until to-day has ever vaidlin a National platform that the gold standard isa good thing for the American people. No party would dare to say that and then go forth before the people, who for twen- ty years have suffered beneath the bur- den of a gold standard. But what does the Republican plat- form say? Why, it gays we pledee ourselves to get rid o! the gold stand- ard and substitute the principle of bi- metallism. Doesn't that mean that bi- metallism is better than a gold stand. ard? The tion placed upon it, and after havino declared that bimetallism than a gola standard, that same form says that until the lea ling mercial Nations shall consent ternational agreem: the go!d standard. standard is i ol re can be no other ¢ mnmstirae- 18 better toaniu- 1 must bear - 2 Now, if the sold ha $.1 tae Republi. ted Staves or » gold standard no foreiga Nation should to force a gold standard ug ple o! this country. the Depubl endure the i year?

And yet when our opponents come before the people, to waom do they appeal for votes? Do any of the Be- publican speakers turn to the money changers and appeal to them to vote the Republican ticket? No, it 1s not necessary, my friend, to waste time on them. They appeal to the ones who they think will require ‘he most per- sussicn. To whom do they appeal? To the laboring men of this country. They tell the laboring man that they are so afraid thut something is going to happen to him, : Well, now, if the Bepuablican that out the courage to say so, are going to help the laboring men or not? Judge the future by the past. We have scriptural authority for the assertion that the tree is known by its fruit, These trees have been bearing fruit for twenty years, and there has not been a thing on » single tree that a laboring man wouald have in his hoase.
