GOES AFTER BRYAN.
William Jennings Bryan tells us in his Knoxville, Tennessee, speech, that there is no danger of a silver flood. "Coin" Harvey makes the same statement, notwithstanding the world's production of silver for the year 1894, at only about 63 cents an ounce, amounted to the fabulous sum of $216,000,000, a greater annual production than ever before in the history of the world, and only exceeded by the output of silver for the year of 1805, which amounted to $235,000,000, and still he claims there is no danger of a silver flood. All that Mr. Bryan asks for is, that the reins of government and the keys of the United States treasury be turned over to himself and his followers, and they will try the experiment. I hardly think the people of the United States are ready to invest in any more political experiments. The experiment of four years ago has proved quite enough. No flood of silver! The effrontery and insult to the intelligence of mankind by this degenerate democracy and silver advocates surpasses understanding. (Applause.) Fellow citizens, the so-called crime of 1873 is a myth and destitute of substance. The so-called conspiracy of that year is also a myth and without substance. You might just as well go out and from the housetop proclaim that the horse has been dehorserized, because of a huge conspiracy entered into by electricity and the bicycle. Why not ask that the noble animal be rehorserized, so that its selling price will be $150 or $200, the same as it was in "ye olden times." (Applause.)
