At 7.45 o'clock the garden was filling
up. The gallery, for admission to which
no tickets were required, was crowded
and no more persons were admitted
there. The holders of seats In the boxes
and the reserved chairs were) more slow
In gathering, but fully one-half the
seats were occupied at the above hour,
and there was a constant influx at all
the doors.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
As persons prominent in political and
business life came in and were recou
nted by the assemblage the spectators
manifested their enthusiasm with
cheers and other forms of applause.
The audience was far more enthusi
astic than that which greeted Mr. Bry
an last week. The slightest occurrence
out of the ordinary set them to cheer
ing. A vigorous band helped matters
along and the numerous patriotic airs
rendered by it were received with loud
and long continued applause.
Eighty-three hundred chairs had
been placed in the arena of the great
auditorium. This arrangement swell
ed the seating capacity of the build
ing to about 18,000.
At 8.25 when Mr. Coakran came In,
every seat was occupied. With Mr.
Cockran were General Lloyd Brice, Hon.
Perry Belmont, ex-Mayor Cooper, Hor
ace White, John C. Tomllnson, John
Mack, Jr.. Mrs. Cooper Hewitt, Mrs.
Creary and Mrs. Brice.
The pnrty was escorted by Major
Byrne. Mr. Cockran was received with
prolonged cheers.
Major Byrne Immediately advanced to
the front of the platform and when at
8.30 order was restored, he called the
meeting to order In a brief speech and
introduced ex-Congressman Perry Bel
mont as the presiding officer of the
meeting.
Mr. Belmont advanced slowly to the
front of the platform and when the
applause which greeted him ceased be
gan his speech in a slow and deliberate
manner. He was In good voice and his
every word was audible in all parts of
the house.
The vast auditorium was Immediately
in an uproar and the ovation of the
night was tendered the ex-congressman.
Men and women stood In their places
and cheered themselves hoarse, at the
same time waving the small American
flags vigorously. It was a beautiful
and Inspiring scene and one long to be
remembered by those who witnessed It.
When the cheering had subsided in a
measure the New York Banks' Glee club
began to sing the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner." The audience joined In and helped
out with the chorus.
Mr. Cockran at length secured order
and plunged at once into his subject
his reply to Mr. Bryan's speech. He
held his audience from the first, speak
ing In his clear, resonant voice, which
reached every one of his auditors. Mr.
Cockran said:
MR. COCKRAN'S REMARKS.
Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
fellow Democrats (applause.)
With the inspiring strains or the na
tional song still ringing In our ears,
who doubts the Issue of this campaign.
(Applause). That Ipsue has been well
stated by our presiding officer. Strip
ped, as he says, of all verbal disguise,
it is an Issue of common honesty (more
applause). An Issue between the hon
est discharge and dishonest repudia
tion of public and private obligations.
It is a question as to whether the pow
ers of this government shall be used
to protect honest industry or to tempt
the cltsens to dishonesty. On this ques
tion honest men cannot differ. (Ap
plause). It is one of the morals and of
justice. It involves the existence ot
social order. It is the contest for civil
ization Itself. If It be disheartening to
Democrats and to lovers of free insti
tutions to And an Issue of this charac
ter projected Into a presidential cam
paign this meeting furnishes us with
an inspiring truth of how that Issue
wll be met by the people. (Applause).
A Democratic congress may renounce
the Democratic faith but the Demo
cracy Is faithful to Democratic prin
ciples. (Applause).
Democratic leaders may betray a
convention to the Populists but they
cannot seduce the footsteps of Demo
cratic voters from the pathway or hon
or and of Justice. (Applause). A can
didate bearing the mandate of a Demo
cratic convention may In this hall open
a canvass levelled against the founda
tions of social order and he beholds the
Democratic mases confronting him or
ganised for the defence. (Applause).
Fellow Democrats, let us not disguise
from ourselves the fact that we bear
In this contest a serious and grave and
solemn burden of duty. We must raise
our hands against the nominee of our
party and we must do it to preserve
the future of that party Itself. (Ap
pluse). We must oppose the nominee
of the Chicago convention, (a voice,
"hurrah!"), and we know full well that
the success of our opposition will mean
our own exclusive from public life,
but we will be consoled and gratified
by the reflection that It will prove that
the American people cannot be divided
Into parties on a question of simple
morals or of common honesty. (Ap
plause). DODGING THE ISSUE.
Wt look in vain through the speech
delivered here one week ago to And a
true statement of the Issue Involved In
this canvass. (Laughter) Indeed, I
believe it is doubtful If the candidate
himself quite understands the nature
and faith which he professes. (Laugh
ter). I say this not in criticism of hit
ability, but In Justice to his morality.
(Laughter). I believe if he himself
understood the Inevitable consequences
of the doctrines which he preaches that
his own hands would be the first to tear
down the platform on which he stands.
(Applause). But there was one state
ment In that speech which was very
free from ambiguity, pregnant with
hope and confidence to the lovers of or
der. He professes his unquestioned be
lief In the honesty of the American
masses and he quoted Abraham Lin
coln in support of the faith that was In
him. Well, I do not believe that the
"faith of Abraham Lincoln was ever
more significantly Justified than in the
appearance which Mr. Bryan present
ed upon this platform In the changes
tbat have come over the spirit and the
tone of Popullstlc eloquence since the
Chicago convention. We must all re
member that lurid rhetoric which glow
ed as fiercely In the western skies as
the sunlight which through the past
week foretold the torrid heat of the
ensuing day, and here upon this plat
form, we find that same rhetoric as
mild, as insipid as the waters of a
stagnant pool. He Is a candidate who
was swept Into the nomination by a
wave of popular enthusiasm, awakened
by appeals to prejudice and greed. He
la a candidate who, on his trip home
and In the initial steps of his trip east
ward, declared tbat this was a rev
olutionary movement, who no sooner
found himself face to face with the
American feeling than he realised that
this soil Is not propitious to revolution.
The people of this country will not
change the Institutions which have
stood the tests and experiences of a
century, for Institutions based upon
the fantastic dream of Populist agita
torsthat the American nation will
never consent to substitute for the re
public of Washington, of Jefferson and
of Jackson, the republic of an Altgeld,
a Tillman or a Bryan. (Applause).
POWER OP PUBLIC OPINION.
The power of public opinion, which
caused the vivid oratory of the Chicago
platform to burn low and soft as the
moonlight ouuiije of this platform,
which has already shown Its power to
control Popullstlc eloquence, will show
the full extent of Its wisdom, will give
Abraham Lincoln's prophecies their
triumphant vindication when It crushes
the seed of Popullstlc socialism next
November. (Cheers).
Now my friends I have said there
was one statement of great significance
in Mr. Bryan's speech. There is another
portion of it which Is singularly free
from any obscurity, and that may be
comprised within the two initial para
graphs where he talks logically, con
sistently, plainly, the language of revo
lution. Whatever change may have
come over hlB manner as a candidate,
however much the vehemence of his
eloquence may have been reduced, two
things for which he stands remains
unaltered. On this platforme he de
fended the most revolutionary plank of
the Chicago convention In speechless
vehement, but' not less earnest than
that In which he supported their adop
tion. On this platform he defended the
Popullstlc programme of overthrowing
the Integrity of the supreme court.
(Applause). If there be any good which
has grown for the benefit of all man
kind out of the establishment of our
republic, it has been the demonstration
that it is possible by the organization
of an Independent tribunal to safe
guard the rights of every citizen and
protect those natural privileges against
any Invasion from every source, or
however powerful might be the antag
onizing elements. (Applause). The
very existence of that power he sup
poses the existence of an independent
tribunal. Yet we have this Popullstlc
convention, because a Popullstlc meas
ure was condemned as unconstitu
tional proposing not to amend the con
stitution in the ordinary way prescribed
by that Instrument Itself, but proposing
to pack the court, to reorganize it. (He
used the language of thep lntform It
self) so that It will pronounce those
laws to be constitutional which the con
stitution Itself condemn, a proposal to
make the courts of law Instruments of
lawlessness, to violate the sacred pact
between the states on which the secu
rity of this nation rests, to profane the
temple erected for Its protection by the
hands of false priests who, though
sworn to defend it, will be appointed to
destroy It. (Great applause).
In the time to which I must confine
myself tonight, I can do nothing but
examine that one question which Mr.
Bryan himself declares to be the over
shadowing Issue of this campaign. I
nm a little puzzled when I read this
Bpeech to decide Just what Mr. Bryan
himself Imagines will be the fruit of a
change In the standard of value
throughout this country. I do not be
lieve that any man can follow wholly
with the speech, because If he dissents
from one set of conclusions, he has
got to read but a few paragraphs, and
he will find another of a different va
riety. But I assume that it Is fair In
a discussion of this character. Inde
pendently of what Mr. Bryan may soy
or what Mr. Bryan may think himself
he stands for, to examine the Inevitable
economic effects of a debasement of the
coinage, of a change In the standard by
which existing debts are to be meas
ured in a baser measure of value.
A WEAK POINT.
Now I will Imagine that Mr. Bryan
himself may believe that in some way
or other he is going to benefit the toll
ers of this country. He says he is, but
declines to show us how. (Laughter
and applause). For my part I am will
ing to state her, that It Mr. Bryan
could show me that by any means
known to heaven or known on earth,
any means revealed to the comprehen
sion of man that wages could be In
creased I will be rendy to support him
here and now. (Great applause and
cheers). I do not make this statement
through any pretense of special affec
tion for the man who works with his
hands. Such a pretense made in the
heat of a presidential canvass would
merely Insult nnd discredit the Intelli
gence to which It Is addressed. (Ap
plause). Where the rate of wages Is
high, there must be prosperity. Where
the rate of wages is low there must
necessarily be distress. If then Mr.
Bryan can show me that by the en
forcement of any portion of his pro
gramme wages will be increased in this
country. I will not only support him,
but I will recognize him as the wisest
orator that ever opened his mouth on a
platform since the beginning of the
world. (Laughter). I will be ready to
confess that the rhetoric, which I do
not now understand. Is really the
language of Inspiration. (Laughter).
I would regard tils administration of
the presidency as the kindling of a
great light before the footsteps of man
showing him a broad pathway to end
less happiness and measureless pros
perity. But in searching through his
speech, in reading through the whole
reams of Popullstlc literature with
which this country has been flooded for
four years. I have never yet found one
syllable which showed me how a Popu
list expected to Increase the rate of
wages. (Laughter and great ap
plause). AS TO WAGES.
Now In order to understand the sig
nificance of the remark that wages Is
the only test of prosperity, we have but
to consider for a moment Just what is
meant by the term wages. Wages as
I suppose everybody understands is
that part of the laborer's product which
Is given to himself In compensation for
his toll. If, for Instance, I be engaged
In the manufacture of chairs, and If I
can make five chairs every day worth
(20, and the rate of my wages Is S4 a
day, what I actually get is one chair
out of the five which I make. The
other four chairs, the other four-fifths
of my product, are devoted to the pay
ment of all the other labor that has
been expended In preparing the ele
ment out of which the choir was made.
To the man who felled the tree In the
forest, the person who sawed It In the
mill, the carrier who transported it, the
workman who prepared Its component
parts, and the profit on the article
which set all this labor In motion. It
Is quite plain, however, that I could
not take one chair home with me at
night and attempt to settte my bills
with It, nor the moment 1 undertook to
divide the chair among my creditors
that moment it would lose its value, so
Instead ot taking the chair, which I
cannot divide, I take its equivalent In
money which I can divide, but my
wages all the time are fixed by the
quantity of my own products. (Ap
plause). If Instead of Ave chatrs.I were able to
make ten and the rate of my compensa
tion remained the same, I would ob
tain for my wages two chairs or eight
dollars a day, but instead of their being
four chairs or sixteen dollars available
for the payment of other labor there
would be eight chairs or 32 and thus
the larger the wages the larger my pro
duct, the greater the prosperity in the
chair making industry. (Applause). Now
applying the principle to every other
department of trade, we can see that
the man who works on a tunnel cannot
take a part of the tunnel home with
him for his wages, the man who paves
the street cannot take a part of the
highway with him, but each one takes
the money equivalent of that part of
the product which Is the result of hie
daily toil and the laborer is the man
who has the most vital Interest in the
character of the money which is paid
to him. (Applause).
CONSPIRACY OP POPULISTS.
Now when we come to And out Just
how Mr. Bryan expects to Increase the
wages of labor we find ourselves lost in
a maze of contradiction and In a haze
of obscure expressions. No man can
tell how or where or when the wages of
the workingman are to be Increased,
but any one who examines the scheme
can see that the inevitable tendency,
the Inevitable consequence of a de
basement in the standard of value must
be a reduction In the rate of wages
and that Is the conspiracy In which the
Populists are engaged. (Applause).
Now.Mr. Bryan tells us that he wants
to cheapen the dollar, that he wants
to increase the volume of money. I
do not believe that any man whoever
lived could quite understand a Popu
list's notion of what money is.-( Laugh
ter.) further than that he believed it
is a desirable thing to get (Laughter)
and that he is not very particular
about the means by which he can get
his hands on it. (Laughter). Nothing
Is more common In Populist oratory
than the statement that the volume of
money must be increased for the bene
fit of the people which means that
part of the people that run and man
age to address Populists' meeting.
(Laughter). I remember that In one of
the speeches which Mr. Bryan deliv
ered on his way east he declared that
any man who objected to too much
money ought to vote the other ticket.
Now, my friends, I will ask you to In
dulge me for a moment while I state
to you here the only conception that an
honest man can form of money. In or
der that in discussing this thing here
after we will be able to understand
the economlo expressions which the
Populist uses for the delusion of man
and for the confusion of his Judgment.
Nothing Is more common than the
statement that money and property nre
Identical. They are not. A redundan
cy of money does not prove any pros
perity. There may be a very large vol
ume of circulating medium and very
great poverty. The Issue of paper
money simply is no more an increase
of wealth than the Issue by an Indiv
idual, of his promissory note would
show an increase of his property. (Ap
plause). As a matter ot fact an In
crease In the coinage is no proof of an
Increase in property, but may be a
strong proof of a decrease In wealth.
Let us take for instance this watch
case. That Is worth its bullion value
plus the labor that has been expended
on It. If, now, I melt that down Into a
ten dollar gold piece. It Is worth noth
ing but the bullion value. Here then
has been an Increase In the quantity
of money, but a decrease In the vol
ume of national wealth. I could not
buy a watch case with the coin which
would be coined out of this unless I
added something to It, and the pretense
that men can be enriched by swelling
the volume of the currency la the
oldest delusion which has affected
mankind since the very beginning of
civilization (Applause. The volume of
money plays but a small part even In
the ordinary transactions of life. It is
not the volume of money but the ac
tivity of money that counts. (Ap
plause). If any person wants to see
just how a dollar works In the ordinary
exchanges In what might be called a
retail business, he has but to take a
dollar out of his pocket and go Into the
street and buy some fruit. Now the
fruit dealer would take that dollar and
buy some vegetables. The green gro
cer, with the same dollar would buy
neck ties. The dealer In neck ties,
with the same dollar, could buy meat
and so on, that one coin passing from
hand to hand might circulate twenty
dollars worth of commodities In the
course of a single day. That one dallar
circulating twenty dollars worth of
commodities makes more business and
more trade than two dollars could
make If they circulated between them
only ten dollars worth of commodities.
(Applaupe). Money never can circu
late freely and actively unless there be
absolute confidence in, Its value. (Ap
plause). If a man doubts whether the
money In his pocket will be as valuable
tomorrow as It Is today, he will de
cline to exchange his commodity
against It. and this Populist agitation
threatening the Integrity of money has
been the cause of the hard times
through which this country Is passing
and from which It will not escape until
the time the heel of popular condem
nation Is placed upon the Populist agi
tation which undermines the founda
tion of credit. (Applause). Now, my
friends. In the larger transactions of
life little or no money Is used at all.
The comparison of value with money Is
purely a mental operation,
BASIS OP TRADE.
The basis of Bound trade Is sound
money, (applause), money which Is in
trinsically valuable, money which like
the gold coinage of this country the
government cannot affect If it tried to.
(Appluuse).
It Is perfectly clear that the purpose
of the PopUllsts Is to put up the prices
of certain commodities. Mr. Bryan's
language is that he in going to Improve
the conditions of the people of this
country. Not of all of them, but of the
greatest number. Well, now, I don't
suppose Mr. Bryan pretends to any
miraculous power. I don't suppose he
clulms he can multiply the number of
chairs upon this platform or upon this
floor, although he has shown his cap
acity to empty them. (Laughter). If
he is going to work any change in the
conditions of men he must Increase the
material possessions of some part of the
community. Now If he got possession
of the government tomoirw he could
not create one single thing or value
by any exercise of governmental power
in the world. If, then Mr. Bryan la
going to enrich somebody, the thing
which ho means to bestow on him he
must take from somebody else.
Who is to be despoiled and
who Is to be enriched by the
exercise of this new scheme of gov
ernment (ery of silver mine owners) 7
My friends, the silver mine owner will
get cheated with the rest. (Laughter).
If ever the Populist has his way nobody
will be beneflltted, not even Mr. Bryan.
(Laughter).
We see that ho can't enrich one man
without Impoverishing another. But
his financial scheme contemplates an
Increase In the price of certain com
modities. ( Cry of except gold).
TO INCREASE COMMODITIES.
Mr. Bryan proposes to Increase the
price of commodities. If he means any
thing, he means that, and I am not
quite sure that he means anything.
Now, if everything in this world or
In this country, including labor, be In
creased In value tomorrow in like pro
portion, not one of us would be affected
at all. If that was Mr. Bryan's scheme
he would never have a Populist nom
ination to give him importance In the
eyes of this community. If thnt were
all he meant he would not be supporting
It, and I would not be taking the trouble
to oppose It. Therefore it Is fair to as
sume that It Is not the lame and Im
potent conclusion which this Populist
revolution contemplates. What then Is
It? It Is an increase In the price of com
modities and allowing of labor to shift
for itself. (Applause.) If the price ot
commodities be increased and the price
ot labor be left stationary, why that
means a cutting down of the rate of
wages. If the value of this Populist
scheme then Is to be tested, let the la
boring men of this country ask Mr.
Bryan and his Populist friends a simple,
common, every day question, "where do
I come In?" ((Laughter.) Mr. Bryan
himself has a glimmering Idea of where
the laborer will come In, or rather of
where he will go out. There Is one
paragraph In his speech which, whether
it was the result of an unconscious
stumbling Into candor or whether It was
a contribution made In the stress of
logical discussion, I am utterly unable
to say. But It shakes a flood of light
upon the whole purpose underlying this
Populist agitation.
Wage earners, Mr. Bryan aiys, know
that while gold standard raises the
purchasing power of the dollar It also
makes It more difficult to obtain pos
session of the dollar. They know that
employment is less permanent, less of
work more probable and re-employment
less certain. If that means any
thing it means tbat a cheap dollar
would give him more employment,
more frequent employment, more work
and a chance to get re-employment
after he was discharged. (Laughter).
Well, now, it that means anything In
the world to a sane man it means that
if the laborer in willing to have his
wages cut down he will get more work.
If It were true that a reduction in the
rate of wages would Increase the chance
of employment, I would not blame Mr.
Bryan for telling the truth, because
however unpalatable the truth may be.
I conceive It the duty of any man who
attempts to address his fellow citi
zens never to shirk from a statement
of the whole truth, whatever may be
the consequence to himself. (Ap
plause). But ns matter of fact a
diminution in the rate of wages does
not Increase the scope of employment.
If this audience has done mo the hon
or to follow me while I explained the
principle on which wages are fixed, it
must be clear that the more abundant
the product, the higher the wages that
the Populists tell us, and Mr. Bryan
leads the van In saying that it is the
creditor that he Is after, that the cred
itor is the person whose debt he wants
to cu down, and Mr. Bryan makes
an elaborate argument to show' that
when this system of coinage shall have
been completed, his standard of value
shall have been changed, then the
debtor will have an opinion as to which
metal he will pay his debt in. that is
to say, he shall be permitted by the
law to commit an act of dishonesty. In
order that you shall understand Just
how a change In the standard of values
enables men to cheat their customers,
you have to consider the functions
which money plays In measuring debts.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
If I had paid $10 for ten yards of
cloth to be delivered to me next week
and In the Interim, the government
should pass a law declaring that here
after the yard measure should consist
of 18 Inches and that all existing con
tracts should be settled In that system
of measure, I would be cheated out
half of the clothes for which I had
paid. (Applause). If on the other
hand I owed a clothes merchant for
ten yards of clothes, which he had de
livered to me nnd which was payable
next week and In the meantime the
government would change the stand
ard of value and cut down the unit of
coinage one-hnlf, then I would settlo
that debt in S3 and the clothes mer
chant would have been cheated. That
Is Just what this measure proposes to
do and the Important question that
arises to the workman of this country
la Just who are the creditors and who
nre the debtors In this land. When any
man can show me a laborer that has
been paid In advance for a day's work
I will show him a laborer who Is a
debtor, but every laborer that I have
ever known In my experience, every
laborer of whom I have ever heard in
my estimations of the condition of men
must by the very law of his being be a
creditor for at least one day's work and
Is generally a creditor for a week's
work or two weeks' work.
I do not regret this campaign. I am
glad this Issue has arlsed. The time has
come when the people of this country
will show their capacity for self gov
ernment. They will prove that the men
who have left the world In the path
way of progress will be the Jealous
guardians of liberty and of order. (Ap
plause). They are not to be seduced by
appeals to their cupidity or moved by
threats of injury. Thev will forever
Jealously guard nnd trim the lamp of
enlightenment and of progress. They
will ever relentlessly press and crush
under their heels the flaming torch of
Populist discontent, Populistic agitation
and Populist destruction. (Applause.)
When this tide of agitation shall have
receded, this tide of Popullstlc agita
tion, this assault upon common honesty
and upon Industry shall have been
abated forever, the foundation of this
republic will remain undisturbed. This
government will still shelter a people
Indissoluhly wedded to liberty and or
der.Jealously forbidding any distinction
of burden or of privilege, conserving
property, maintaining morality, resting
forever upon the broad basis of Ameri
can patriotism and American intelli
gence. (Applause.)
Mr. Cockran's speech was well re
ceived. While many of those In the
upper gallery deserted their seats long
before the speaker had concluded, ' it
was noticed that those In the lower
tiers and those In the main auditorium
remained attentive throughout the dis
course. The audience took advantage
of every opportunity to manifest ap
proval of the speaker's sentiments.
When particularly telling points in re
pudiation of Mr. Bryan's speech were
made the cheering from all quarters
of the hall was of a tumultuous nature.
The small American flags provided by
the committee were brought into ser
vice and waved frantically.
