Bryan reached Lynn from Bath at 5:30 o'clock Monday, morning. Five hours of sleep had been his prepnr-ition for the day's hard work. lie reached Ne.wburyport at 4:45, where a reception committee Trom Lynn boarded his train, and at tlr; station here other local delegations met him end led the cheering for a knot of sleepy looking people, who awaited his coming.

the Hr.iol Seymour, and while bmikfnst was being nrcparud Mr. Bryan tried to get a :itt.Ie more sleep. At 7:30 o'clock Mr. Bryan nnd Mr. Sewnll left the Hotel Seymour for Highland square, whore ihe presidential candidate spoke.

Do- spite the early hour groat crowd l.ail gathered there. Dryun'a Speech nt I.ynn, MIIKN. Mr. Bryan was introduced by John Drisuoll, and made a half hour's speech. Among other things he said: "Falllnff prices mean hard times and hard times have never been advocated in a platform By any party, although the ve publican platform this year, without directly saylnpr so, promises to continue times hard and make them harder.

Do you deny that proposition? I want you to iook at that plallorm. It declares a gold standard Is not desirable because the party pledges Itself to get rid oi it. If the double standard Is not more desirable than the cold standard, why does the republican party want to make any change? 11' the KOld standard Is good we ought to keep It but when the republican party attempts to jret rid of It, If admits it Is not as good as But they promise notwithstanding their desire to pet rid of the gold standard, that they will keep it until other nations help us to pet rid of it. Until then th'eyVsay we must malnta.ln the pold I don't, think we will myself. If we'maintain the gold standard we must maintain those thlnss which are to It.

must maintain ot issuing bonds to buy cold we want sold: When issue buy sold we create a demand for s'ol'd'--and raise Its purchasing power throughout, the world, but we arc contracting' by piling It up in the vault's when It ought to be out dolng'business amonff the people. Confidence VB. Money. There are- financiers who actually rejoiced at the Issufe. of bonds and said It would restore confidence.

They oro trying to run business In this country with a larger and larger-percentage of confidence to the amount of, money on hand. And If they go on', the coniidenco and My.obaervatlon- has beennhat if'a. continence man comes Into a community, man'who has', the least confidence h.ag the most money when the' fellow goes out. You 'I am hungry!" They say; '-I'have'got a "remedy: Just have had a full meal and you will be just as well oft you You say you cannot get work. They say: 'Jugt have confidence; you have work and It will lie'all' You say: 'We cannot flnB a market for our 'Just have confidence that the people will buy 'and they is only one place they think Confidence, game won't work.

You go to one of these men who are all the time talking about confidence and ask to borrow money. Ho says: 'What security aay: 'I will "give you nil the will 1 tell you he la not loaning on confidence this Why Is It these financiers- are 30 anxious for you to have confidence In them when they do not have any confidence In you? They want security and tell you to got a good-name on your note or put up something that Is salable. The trouble is thlnss that used to be salable are not any more. Security that used to be good is not good security any They are driving down the value of your security by- driving up the value of money. There is only one way to restore confidence and that is to give 1 confidence a basis to rest upon.

voice: "Talk about "Government uy Injunction." "I have been talking about that -which is paramount In this campaign, and yet I realize there are other questions upon which people feel an Interest. 1 know they are In'teri-ited In the plank In our platform which declares against what is known as 'government by I know the people are Interested in that plank which demands arbitration because while. our plank is a national plank and Is.confined to arbitration between tho employes enraged In interstate commerce their employers, yet tho indoraement ot the people of arbitration Is an important thing. It substitutes just and peaceful methods' of settlement In tho place of force. I believe that the principle o'f arbitration will become as well settled in this country While we younger 'men are still allvo as 1 the court of.

justice is' settled to-day. If I have a difficulty with my neighbor I- do not. fight It 'out even if he wants to. I settle it in I'want a place where wo can go and present our 'differences and let an impartial 1 arbitrator decide. The arbitration princi-i pie is nothing but an extensioivof the prln-.

ciple ot courts of Justice. I recognize these things in our platform are material and "yet this contest is going'to turn tho 'money' question because' we' have: reached a point when we.have got to whether wo' are going to le8'Islate 1 own people'on the; financial 'or' turn over the affairs of this country, tp' foreign nations and let them for us," i i-.

After warning the immense crowd against pickpockets, Mr. part: An Houd.it IJollnr. "I do not come to preach to you a new rrospel. 'The; position we take on the money Question Is an old position, not a new one.i We arc not flying In the face of natural law's as our opponents sometimes firo we trylnp to overturn the principles.of political economy.
