He Addreated S.SOO People nt the RMlrond KtAilon From the lklac forni Erected for Him A Word on Free silver and Word to the Laboring Mao. Over two thousand people Rath. red in this city to hear that peer less advocate of the people, William Jesnines Bryan, the Democratic nominee for President. The hour was late, but the people cheerfully waited, unmindful of Old Sol's scorching rays, their fa' vorite herald of prosperity, and when bis special train arrived tbey yelled nntil they could sympathize with him in his hoarseness. Amid the waving of hats, hanker chiefs, nmbrellas and a general hurrah, he was escorted to the stand aud introduced by Chairman A B Young. For a few moments pans demonium reigned supreme and con siderable persuasion was necessary to quiet the people. On beginning his remarks Mr, Lsryan was so hoarse that he was heard with difficulty, bnt as he pro. needed bis wonderfully rich, strong voice penetrated to the very out. skirts of the crowd, raiting the en thusiasm of bis hearers to at least 100 degrees in the shade. Mr. Bryan said : "Gentlemen and ladies, fellow citi zens ; I saw soma of Concord's peoi pie in Charlotte, and it gives me great pleasure to see so many of them here non. As I have but a few moments I see no better way of using them than giving you a few of the questions asked the advocates of free coinage and their answers. Very few converts are made by pub lic Bpeaking, ,but when friend talks with friend aod neighbor runs gainst neighbor, tbey compare arguments and many votes are changed. I wish to tell yon some things that you may use in this way: The advocates of the gold stand- ard appeal to that inherent sense of honesty planted in the breast of every man by speaking of silver as depreciated currency, as a f.fty-cent dollar. Let ns see if this Is true. I know of no better way of illuss trating this than by the price of butter. In my uatiye town out in Nebraska we buy our butter from a Qrm. This man goes out and en gages all the butter he can, to be furnished the year round at the same price 25 cents, I believe, is the price we pay for it. Now in the Spring, he finds that he has more butter than is needed to supply these customers and 10 what does he do? He simply places his butter ia the market and tells it at a reduced price at about 15 cents per ponnd. Now it is the same way with silver. When the mints were open to silver it was worth $1.00 per ounce, but when the mints were closed to sil ver the supply exceeded the demand and it naturally sank, not in pur chasing value, but as bullion meas ured by the gold standard. The fallacy of their argument lies in their measuring silver bullion, which is excluded from the mints by gold to which the mints have never been closed. Thtn.they tell you that our mints will be Hooded with foreign silver.' We will examine this. I'or- ei'n countries need all the silver they can obtain to maintain their -.- -r. i J own commerce. franco, .bngiano, Japan, Mexico all the nations ot the world demand their share of the money metals. Today France has more-silver, per capita, in circula tion than we have, and that at a legs ratio 151 to 1. Aod jet silver bullion Is higher thers than in our own conatry. oureiy no one can afford to export silver to this conn try when it is worth more io t) at country than in this. Then they tell you tht all the marketable silver will be thrown on the market. That all the spoons and ailyer plate will be thrown into the crucible and converted into bul lion. Would anyone do this unless the value of the bullion exceeded that of the plate? Of course this cannot be. They come to the wage -earner with the argument that free silver, by increasing the currency, will de cease the value of your wages with out increasing thtm. The gold standard has starved the consumers of your labor. Starve the oonsumer and the factory must stop. This U manufacturing town. I wish to speak a word to these opera lives.

Your vote is your own. It is your privi lege to nse it as you see best and to your best interest. Thanks for your kind attention-" And again tbe crowd went wild. As he stepped off the platform there was a tremend ous rush for tbe train. As he as cended the rear platform of the rear car men clutched at his hanl hun dreds seeking to give him a farewell shake and the word of "good luck to you." Amid a wild huzza the hero departed. The attraction was gone in five minutes tbe ciowd had dis persed. SILVER MEN IN CHARLOTTE Bryan Hpeaka to an linmcnue Crowd Governor corr and Kx-Menntor Jar Vis There North t'nrollna mate Clnard In ramp. Special to The Standard. Charlotte, Sept 17. This city is booming with life. There is a sprinkling of the military lt through. The dress parade of tbe North Carolina S ate Guard, which was being reyiewed by Gov. Elias Carr, was somewhat spoiled yester day evening at Latta Park by a heavy rain storm. The boys were dismissed tco late to get io dry places and the const quence was that tbe Governor and boys got wet and all had to seek shelter. The Con cord boys seemed delighted with the march and hope that it will be re peatel next year. We met Governor Carr end Ex Governor Jarvis both are enjoying the best of health. We asked Gov ernor Jaryis of tbe probable effect" of the election of magistrates and commissioners in the eastern coun ties. He shook his head with words rather g'oouiy. It is one of the wonders of this campaign that noth ing is said about. We expected to eBCort Mr. Bryan to hoteljquarters last night but he went to bed in his Pullman ar,d we were wired to "go and do likewise.'' Cabarrus is well represented here, as is almoBt every other place within close range. Mr. Bryan was "out with the larks'' this moraing, and was es corted in magnificent etyle from bis train to the Vance Park. Ue mounted the platform at 9 o'clock and was introduced by Goyernor Carr. The great assemblage was so eager and impatient for Mr, Bryan, that the Governor could not be heard. Mr. Bryan spokes for 33 minutes At the beginning the distinguished man told the crowd if tbey would be quiet he would make himself heard lie referred to the declaration of the Democrats at Chicago, and then the Declaration of tb Mecklenburg Independence. While touchmg upon independence, he said that the United States was able to attend to her own finances. LLre in Char lotte, as elsewhere, is a veritable hornet's nest for the enemy. There is no fault to find against other na tions, but we can't submit to for eign financial despotism. Wo are more than 100 years old and fully capable of our own methods.

He addressed the little fel lows in a very rnde manner and without authority ordered the boys out of the yard. This riled the feelings of tbe boys and a general battle took place in which stones, sticks and other missiles were used freely on both sides without serions results. The scholars at the writing school overpowered the small boys and it was some time before the ir rita'ed pupils could b made desist their rock chunking.
