Mr Bryan Z them and pointed out the men number of lili party, and as a re- Tillasre martial. r Bryan spoke at numerous M the line. At St. Louis So people gathered at the depot i cheered wildly as the candidate preceded to His Hotel. At three great mas meetings held ben; Bryan addressed between 30,000 adayXJO people. Bryan said in part: "Ladies and Gentlemen: We are entering upon a memorable campaign, a campaign which means a great deal of good or ill to the people of the country, and In that campaign there iscne great over-shadowing issue, and upon that Issue people arc divided. There are some who believe that the maintenance of a gold standard until foreign nations come to our relief is in absolute necessity for the welfare of this country. There are those, on the other hand, who believe with us that the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16tol, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, Is abso lutely essential to national prosperity. Great applause. .1 desire to submit a few arguments in behalf of the re storation of free coinage. Applause. I want to submit for your consider; atlontwoor three propositions, and I believe they are so clear and so plain that every one of you can recognize the force of them. In the first place, I call your attention to the fact that the Republican party, in its platform and through its public men, is making no effort toiupply the people of the United States with a sufficient amount of money to do business with. If I were to tell you that a grown person could wear the clothes of a cblld, you would think me foolish. If 1 were to tell you that a grown person could live on the food necessary to sustain life In a child, you would call me foolish, and yet they call those, men financiers who assume that a people growing in population can sur vive on a money decreasing In Its amount. "Senator Sherman, on June 0, 1800, said that we needed an Increase of somthlng like $50,000, 000 every year, ndyet, instead of having an anual Increace of $50,000,000 a year, in the last two years we have a decrease of about $155,000,000 Applause, making a deficit of about $255,000,000 in t,he currency of the country. Now, if Mr. S?"?11 did right in 1890 in saying -u mc iJBupie neeaea new money every year, then, my friends, I want .ask you why It is that the Rep ublican party, In the face of the con stant decrease In the clrulatlon of money, has mad&no proposition what ever to satisfy the needs of an in cased population. Great applause. When we talk about those matters, our opponents tell us that we don't iffiSnd flnanclerlng.

Great ap. wuonai!atu,u,aitor'um, where the belj M?pubUcan convention was tbMund . ,aWe8 were 'Packetl- and Wan wwe turped,away A MODEL PLATFORM. Adopted by the Democrats In National Convention. The following 1 the full and com plete platform as adopted by the Nntlonal Democratic convention: "We, the Democrats of the United SUtcsm national convention assemb led, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our Institu tions are founded, and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson's time to our own f rrerinm of speech, freedom of the press, free dom oi conscience, me preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law, and the faith ful observance of constitutional limi tations. During all these years the Demo cratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish Interests to the centraliz ation of governmental power, and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of government established by the founders of this republic of republics. Under Us guidance and teachings the great principle of local self-government has found Its best expression In the main tenance of the rights of the states and In Its assertion of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of powers granted by the constitution of the United States. HELIQIOOS FREEDOM. The constitution of the United States guarantees to every citizen the rights of civil and religious liberty. The democratic party has always been the exponent of political liberty and religious freedom and It renews Its obligations and reattrms Its devotion to 'these fundamental principles of the constitution. FINANCE. Recognizing that the money ques tion is paramount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the constitution names silver and gold together as the money meta s of the United States, and that the first coinage law passed by congress under the constitution made the sil ver dollar the money unit, and ad mitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver dollar unit. We declare that the act of 1873 de monetizing silver without the knowl edge or approval of the American peo ple has resulted in the appreciation of gold, and a corresponding fall in the price of commodities produced by the peeple; a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts, public and private; the enrichment of the money lending class at home and abroad, the prostration of industry, and impoverishment of tiie people. We are unalterably opposed to mon ometallism, which has locked fast the prosperity, of an Industrial people in paralysis of hard times, Gold mono metallism is a British policy, and its adoption has brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It Is not only un-American, but antl Amerlcan, and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political inde pendence In 1776 and won in the war of the revolution. FREE COINAGE. We demand the free aud unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any L nf(tn AVa rlnninnrl tlint. ttlfl standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. BONDS. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the hold ers of the obligations, of the United States, the option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such ob ligations In either silver coin or gold coin. , , . We are opposed to the Issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of peace, and condemn the, trafficking with banking syndi cates which, in exchange for bonds and at an enormous profit to them selves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism. ISSUE OF MONEY. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and Prerldent Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to corporations or individuals. We therefore de nounce the Issuance of notes intended to circulate as money by national banks as In derogation of the consti tution, and we demand that all paper which is made a legal tender for public and private debts or which Is receivable for duties to the United Gtates shall be be issued by the gov ernment of the United States and shall be redeemable In coin. TARIFF. We hold that tariff duties should be levied for purpose of revenue, such du ties to be so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the country and not discriminate between class or sec tion, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the govern ment honestly and economically ad- raWe SSnce as disturbing to bust ness the Republican threat to restore the McKlnley law, which has twice been condemned by the people in na tional elections, and which, enacted breeder of trusts and monopolies, en riched the lew oy uie exj.jcuo -many, restricted trade, and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets- .,, INCOME TAX. .M-,i Until tho money question Jf settieu we are opposed to any ag tation for iunner cnauKco ": . i,n ceVt such as are necessary t meet the deficit in revenue caused by the an verse decision of the supreme court on the income tax, jut - d by tne supreme couik """-'v "r,,-,aw no deficit In the revenue sunder thelaw Dassed by a Democratic congress in ffipuuance of the uniform deci sions of that court for 1M years that court- Having in "'"'. wtinna to its f tained constitutional I objections i to tw 'enactment which had prec ously wen overruled by the ablest Juogea uo , have ever sat on the i bench.

The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading of trust and pools require a sticter control by the federal government of muse uneries oi commerce, we de mand the enlargement of the powers of the interstate commerce commiss ion Ullfl mifll illlrl sllnll rnctrlntlnnc nnrl and guarantees in in the control of rauroaas as win protect tne people from robbery and oppression, TAXATION. We denounce the Drolllcate waste of the money wrung from the people oy oppressive taxation and tiie lavisli appropriations of recent Republican congresses, which have kept taxes nign winie the labor that pays tlicm is unemployed, and tho products of the people's toil are depressed in price till they no lonner repay the cost or production. We demand a return to that sim plicity and economy which benefits a Democratic government and a reduc tion in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the sub stance of the people. FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. We denounce arbitrary interferences by federal authorities in local affairs as a violation of the constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions, and we especially object to government by injunction as a new and nigniy dangerous iorm oi oppression, by which federal judges in contempt of the laws of the states and rights of citizens, become at once legislators, Judges, and executioners, and we approve the bill passed at the last session of the United States sen ate, and now pending in the house of representatives, relative to contempts in federal courts and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of con tempt. ANTI-FUNDINO. No discrimination should be in dulged by the government or the Uni ted States In iavor of any of its debt ors. We approve of the refusal of the Pacific railroad funding bill, and de nounce the efforts of the present Re publican congress to enact a similar measure. PENSIONS. Recognizing the Just claims of do sprvlncr union soldiers we heartily en dorse the rule of the present commis sioner of pensions that no names shall be arbitrarily dropped ironi me pen sion roll; and the fact of enlistment and service snonio oe ueemeu con clusive evidence against disease and disability before enlistment.
