Mr. Bryan and his party arrived from

the special train that brought them
but only two of them were what ought
be called tilled.
chief lfobllng and a squad of oflleiM-.
attempted to preset vc a passage wav
for the party, but the crowd was tin
manngenble and in consequence Mr.
Eryin and his eseoit had to fairly fltfht
thMr way up the steps from the On
tario ami Western Micks, through the
station and out to their carriages.
In front of the station a large crowd
was collected and a hearty cheer went
up when the commanding figure of tho
great leader emerged from the door
way.
Mr. Hrynn was ushered Into a llag-
bedeeked carriage with Judge F. W.
(junster, Mayor .James ("S. liuiley and
Edward Menlileld. Kour other car
llatrns took on the remaining members
of the local reception committee, and
headed by the Forest band the march
to the armory proceeded, School Con
tniller Henry J. O'Malley, astride n
prancing horse and waving a large
Hag, leading the way.
The bridge was fairly alive with peo
ple, many men and boys finding a
piilnt of vantage atop the railings and
even up in the glrdeis.
When Lackawanna avenue was
leached one continuous throng of peo
1 1 extending all the way to tho
aimory was encountered. Mounted
iiliieers Burke and Dyer rode on either
side of trie Biyan carriage to keep the
crowd at a respectable distance. The
loutt followed was up Lackawanna to
A yomlng, to Spruce, to Washington,
to Linden, to Adams to the armory.
There was a little red lire burned on
thv balcony of the Valley house hut
further than this theie was no attempt
at pryrotechnlcs.
OPEN AIR ADDHESS.
Outside the armory theie was a large
massing of people who were not in
clined to contribute the tax that tho
committee levied at the door. Before
entering Mr. Bryan made a short
MK-ech.
He nrobc In the carriage and spoke.
He said he teallzed that he would not
be able within the armory to address
all these he saw about him and ho
wanted to thank them for their pres
ence. He did not construe the gather
ing as a personal compliment to him
self but rather as an evidence that the
people of this ptcgiesslvee city were
thinking out for themselves the great
economic questions that are agitating
the country.
He then refened to tho campaign of
IS'JT, and said they had advocated cer
tain principles, bin the people decided
that they did not want them Just then.
As long as the people want a gold
standurd they will have It, but they
who were In favor of the coinage of
silver at a ratio of 1G to 1 with gold
were In a measure content, for they
felt that the longer people have the
sold Btandard the more disgusted with
it they will be. A change Is Inevitable.
It was S.IIj when Mr. Bryan came ito
the armory. He touul awaiting him
&no pel runs who had paid W cents
apiece for reserved seats, 1,400 who
had secured liS-cent chairs, and three
r four hundred others who gave up
this last amount for the privilege of
standing along the walls or In the rear
of the space occupied by seats. An
other hundred or so formed in the small
gallery in tho extreme rear of the hall.
Tncio were quite ns many .Republicans
unci gold Democrats In the audience ns
I,i yap men. and a large number of
ladies were scattered through the front
rows of seats.
, CHEEK FOR BRYAN.
,' ' here was a hearty cheer when Mr.
Ilijnr. walked down tho aisle and took
a scat on the platform between his
former neighbor, J. M Chance, und Ed
waid Merrlfield. On either side of him
and in the rear were Mayor Bailey,
J- clge Ounsler, City Tteasurer C. O.
Upland, T. J. Jennings, County Treas

and .state Chairman John M. tlarmnn.
who modestly sought tho seclusion of
tho rear row.
The anxious audience was kept wait
ing nearly a half hour for Bryan's
speech by the bands' selection and the
prefator addi esses by Mr. Boluuil and
Mr. .Menlileld. the former extending
welcome and the latter making the In
troduction. When Mr. Bryan arose ho was greet
n with tho most onthuslastlo cheer of
ilte evening. He scumed anxious to be
gin and raised his hand to petition
silence. He looked somewlmt travel
worn, and this condition was mado
inoro evident by somewhat dlsliovblod
hair ami a crushed bouquet of tubutus
worn In his left lapel.
Mr. Brynn, in opening disclaimed
being the representative of nny ptuty
,o his proeont visit, but mid ho sim
ply came ns an Amoiicnn citizen und
would speak only as a cltlzon. "I am
r-obedy s candidate foi tiny omen," he
nld.
The upeicli was an A, 11, C, of the
Hlvor question, tho arguments bring
tho same In tenor and effect as thoso
ndvanced by him In the campaign.
Those who expected a treatise of tho
war question were disappoint f-0 He
contented himself by saying that what
ever tho constituted authorities decided
upon In the present crisis would bo
backrd up by every American citizen,
Irrespective of party or sectional fec-1-lnr
Referring to tho silver men being
characterized ns anarchists and social
ists during the campaign, Mr. Bryan
went on to say that maybe they wore
wrong but ho didn't bellevo It. Men
uro differently Inlluonrcd, inherit opin
ions, biases, tendencies, clrcumstnnces,
environments, unity ties all have their
Inllitencos. Silver men might have
mudis a mistake, but no man makes a
greater mistake than ho who says that
any great number of people nro dishon

ite?, but they didn't know the gold
standaid, for no minister can favor
both the gospel of Christ and ihc gold
standard.
TWO CLASSES OF COLD BUOS.
The gold standard men woie divided
Into two ci.T-ses. The llrst advocated
It because they didn't know what It
meant. The other knew what It means
but didn't dare ffc' his neighbor about
It.
lie denied the right of the financiers
to demand that the money question be
taken out of politics and left for them
to tolve. The constitution In declaring
all men ci cited equal, repletod this
Idea, and Cod never lntend"d It, for
If he had he would given bialn only to
tlu bankers and the test of the people
he would have piovlded with backs,
Folely. with which to bear the burdens
the financiers might Impose on them.
The Interests of the flmnclcrs are not 1
on the same side as thos" of the people
at large from v horn they wont to do the
thinking.
The money question Is slmplo. Any
one who can understand the principal
of a teeter-tawter can understand the
money question. When a dollar goes
up In value property goes down. When
n dollar goes don n propel ty goes up.
The gold bug npplles tho melting-
pot t-et to the money question. That
Is not a fair test. It Ignores the Im
poitant thing, the dollar's put chasing
power.
An absolutely honest dollar Is an Im
possibility. A dollar that rises Is just
as honest or dishonest as a dollar which
falls. Wo must select some system that
will give us the neatest appioach to an
honest dollar.
If a dollar rises In value people who
own property will bo hurt by the rise
and vice-versa. Refenlng to the de
monetization of silver, Mr. Bryan re
peated the quotations from Sherman,
MeKinle, Carlisle and Blaine, which
he and his followers used in the cam
paign, and contended that each of them
had by their utterances set the few
against the many. Shermnn said It
would be a serious thing to all except
the capitalists out of debt and the
salatied olllcer. Bluluo said that
the holdeis of tlxed Investments
undeserved advantage. Carlisle held
that It would divide roclety" Into two
classes, the Idle holders of Idle capital
and the struggling masses, and that
more misery would bo caused thereby
than was ever caused by war, famine
and pestilence.
IT IS NOT A XGW IDKA.
The silverltes are advocating no new
thing, but asking for a restoration of
the old policy, which the people de
mand. We had bimetallsm for eighty
one yeais without tho consent of nny
foreign nation, but that was when we
were small. No party In nil that time
denounced It and, strange to say, wo
abandoned It without any paity nsklng
that It be abandoned. In substantia
tion of the claim that demonetization
huh effected without the knowledge of
fongress, by proving the possibility of
such u thing, he called attention to
"Section 21" of the Dlngley bill, which
would never have been adopted, he
contended, If congress knew It was
there.
After nineteen yenrs, all three lead
ing parties declared for blmctallsm, the
Republicans saying, "The gold stand
ard must be maintained until the con
sent of other nations for International
bimetallsm Is seemed." This wasn't to
catch votefl. Mr. McKlnley suit a
commission to Kuropo to Induce the
foreign moneyed nations to Join In In
ternational bimetallsm. France Joined
with us In asking Knglaud to come Into
the agreement. The house of commons
unanimously voted In favor of It. Two
hundred and Hfty labor organizations
and a commission of fanners declared
In favor of It. But Knglaud didn't Join.
KNGLISII BaNKKRS MKKT.
Tho bankers of Knglaud held a ses
sion behind closed doors on Lombard
street and Joined In an unuulmous pro
test ngalnst any concessions to the
schemo of blmctallsm. The action of
Kngland determined tho action or Ku.
rope. Tho action of Kuropo oontrolled
us. A handful of Kngllsh bankers In
a mooting behind closed doors In a
clearing house told us how wo should
direct our monetary attain.
Thero can be no International bl
metnllc agreement reached by Invita
tion from us. Europe holds our debts.
When wo ask them to help us raise the
value of our money wo usk them to de
crease the vnluo of their holdings.
The proper and only course Is to de
clare for Independent blmctallsm and
then say to tho money-grabbers of Ku
rope: "Wo will pay you off In the dol
lars you helped degrade." That would
bring them to a realization of tho de
sirability of International blmctallsm.
Wo say lo the gold bug "wo nro
trying to undo In the daylight what you
did In the dark."
At the close of his address Mr. Bryan
held a busy reception on tho platform,
hundreds crowding forward to frrasp
his hand. When he llnnlly got away
1,- was taken to tho Kilts' reception
where he spent an hour and made n
brief speech.
Mr. Brynn leaves here nt S o'clock

afternoon. He will be In Allentown

Mr. Bryan, during the course of his
romaiks, complimented State Chairman
Oarman for Ills elllclent wotk in past
campaigns.
When Mr. Bryan concluded his nd
dress he was loudly cheered. Mr.

preme. Scranton and WIlkcs-Barrc lolges
of Elks combined In one big, grand so
cial time last night In the KIk building
on Franklin avenue. It was tho an
nual isit of Wllkes-Bane lodge, No.
1u3 to the ciganlzatlon of their mi.mii
tnn b'cthren. No. 123. The many
splendid features of tho event were
tilled out by the presence of the most
dlstlngiiis-hed guest In the history of
the lodt,e, W. J. Bryau.
Though not an KIk, Mr. Bryan's
piescnce in such a jovial gathering of
strangers was not without Its real en
joyment to him ns well as those, who
received hlin there. They fed him and
they had the opportunity of observing
how ho would act and what he would
say under ciicumstances rather un
usual, lie certainly did not disappoint
his heaieis and must have satUued his
own possible misgivings In a talk of
mingled wit and i-eiiousness In which
politics boie no part.
Soon after S o'clock the Scranton
lodge formed In front of the bu'ldlng
and with Bauer's band marched to

the AVllkes-Barre lodge arrived on a
speciul train at S.25 o'clock. The two
organizations formed In lines of four ,
aurcasi. ine two ct'iiiei wen in i-uuii
line were Wilkes-Bamans and the
outside marchers Scrantonlans. Two
sections wete made of the parade,
Alexander's band of Wllkes-liarre
leading the lirst and Bauer's band the
second section.
THKY LKD TIIK LINE.
Leading the long line of marchers,
In which were 100 visiting anil 15 local
Elks, were the following ofHcer3 of the
Scranton and Wllkes-Barre lodges, re
spectively, inarching In palm, accord
ing to the senloilty of ofllee: Exalted
tillers, D. J. Reedy and Ben F. Dllley;
esteemed leading knights, W. S. Millar
and CI. T. Grlffen; esteemed loyal
knights, Fled C. Smith and T. Webster
Clauss; esteemed lecturing knights, II.
G. Dale and Leo W. Long; secretaries,
W. S. Gould and R. A. Spauldlng.
The parade was over the following
route: Lackawanna to Wyoming, to
Spruce, to Washington, to .Mulberry,
to Penn, to Linden, to Wyoming, to
Spruce, to Penn. to Lac i wanna, to
Franklin, to the hall. At no time dur
ing the m.iich did the political doings
and the Interest therein wholly over
shadow the celebration of Klkdom. Red
and other colored lire had been gener
ously distributed not haphazzard, but
by a prearranged plan, and at selected
points along the line and the march
ers were on every block the central
llgures In a sea of color.
On arrival at the hall tho two big
bands combined and gave a brief open
air concert while the Elks were up
stairs settling themselves for the feast,
fun and oratory that was to follow.
Fred C. Hand presided during the
brief period of opening the Indoor part
of the nffalr to which the visitors were
welcomed in a formal and substantial
address by Exalted Ruler D. J. Reedy,
of the Scranton lodge. It was nearly
10 o'clock when the large gathering
began to make Inroads upon the spread
of delicacies which loaded three tables
running the length of the big lodge
room. At the start, the absolute rule
or tenet of Klkdom that all who cross
Its threshold are In all ways equal,
was in foice. Thereafter those who
escaped the word thrusts or fines of tho
chairman owed their good fortune to
chance, and not to the dignity nor
sacrcdness of their persons.
AFTKR TIIK BANQUKT.
After the banquet proper and before
the arrival of Mr. Bryan the rollicking
nature of the occasion ceased long
enough for J. Elliot Ross" reading of
"Nemesis," the poem recently written
on the destruction of tho Mulue by Dr.
C. II. Fisher, nnd an address by tho
grand exalted ruler, M. D. Detweller,
of Horrlsburg.
It was 11.15 o'clock before Mr. Hryan
and State Cimlrmun John M. Gurnuin
were accompanied to the KIk building
b the executive committee of Demo
ciats, many of whom are memburs of
tho lodge. As the party mad') their
way to a table rcerved for them on the
platform to the left of tho olllcers the
applause given Mr. Bryan was deafen
ing and long continued. A hwariu of
waiters attended tho group and the
programme' was continued with no fur
thei Interruption.

Chairman Hart Interrupted tho spciic.
er long enough to Illustrate the "heart

('. Hand to the edge of the platform
and bowing with him to tho company.
The names of tho gentlemen wero told
to Mr. Brynn who laughed and ap

Bryan's spirit as apparently kindled
to the occasion.

An Idea of the merclles.ness of the
remarks of the speakers may bo had
from Mr. Garman's comment that a
speaker greiter than himself, of world
wide reputation, "full of humor, full of
wit and full of chicken silad" would
sojn bo heard. That wns not th" for
mat Introduction of Mr. Bryan, how
ever. Mr. Garm.in made a speech brim
ful of running wit nnd was followed
by Chairman Hart, who presented the
dl.ttinculshed guest.
It was quite a while before the ap
plause subsided and permitted Mr.
Bryan to proceed. The nap-hazard
spirit of the gathering had not discon
certed him, evidently. He proceeded to
talk in an even, subdued tone of voice
nnd for over ten minutes did not cease
a running lire of unecdote which kept
his hearers In an uproar.
Toward the conclusion of his 15
mlnute speech Mr. Bryan said that
such an occasion suggested to him that
ho had possibly allowed his struggles
for success and his serious view of life
to Interfere with the relaxations al
lowed to man. lie wns not alone In
such fault. Others, too many others,
suffered from It. But in pursuing
pleasures he would not forget that one
may allow one's desires to lead In the
wrong direction. Man should remem
ber that like tho humming bird or the
vulture he will be led to the sweet or
bitter things of life according to the
control over his Inclinations.
Mr. Brynn closed v 1th a patriotic ref
erence to the closer union brought
about by the present crisis. From start
to finish his remarks were constantly
Interrupted by applause.
Before leaving the lodge room, Mr.
Bryan afllxed his signature to the reg
ister. He was driven at once to the
Hotel Jermyn.
The Wllkes-Barre Elks returned
home on their special train at 1.30
o'clock..

The differences in the unit of money
in different countries makes a consider
able dllleience In the practical mean
ing of the word "millionaire." "Web
ster's dlctlonaiy dellnes a millionaire
as "one whose wealth Is counted by
millions." In popular use one who has
a million Is regarded ns n millionaire.
In the United States It would be $1,
000,000. In England It would be 1,
000.000 sterling. But ns the pound ster
ling is worth Sl.Sfi and a fraction In our
money, the Englishman would require
nearly five times ns much actual capi
tal as the American before the Eng
lishman could tnko rank In the noble
army of martyis known as "million
aires." Here in Germany, where the unit of
value is the mark, which Is worth 23
cents and a fraction In our money,
much less actual capital Is required to
make a man a millionaire than Iu the
United States. I had this fact Im
pressed upon mo by reading In a Her
man nowspnpc! that according to the
Statistical Year-Book of Berlin, that
city of over l.eno.OOO Inhabitants con
tains L'.OOJ millionaires "each perron
who has an Income of more than 30,000
marks being reckoned as a inlllion
nlie." Thirty-six thousand marks are
lesn than $9,000 and $y.0u0 a year
seemed to me to be a rather small
"millionaire" Income. I found, how
ever, by a rapid computation, that 300,
000 marks Is a llttlo moro than 3',i per
centum on l.ooo.ooo minks (about J:M0.
000) and thero you have your million
alio according to the Oerman unit
value, According to tho same author
ity thore are 477 "thaler millionaires"
In Beilin a thaler being three marks,
so that each of this variety of million
aire has a capital of 3,000,000 marks, or
about $720,000 each. The wealthiest
man In Berlin has an Income of 1,720,
000 marks, or roughly $100,000, Only
