Va., Sept S —Mr. Bryan began the second day of hi* pres- ent tour at this point. Hl# first Speech was made at Morgans Grove, in lit* suburbs of the town, where he began to speak a few minutes past la i o'clock. At this grove the people of the vicinity are In the ha'lt of congregating annually to hokl a roll show.

There were for In stance several hundred men In the pro cession wearing "antl-Imperlal" Itadges. who were from Hagerstown, Md A letter S' as read at the meeting from Hon. W. L. Wilson, ex-postmaster gen eral. strongly opposing the government's course In the Philippines, and regretting that sickness prevent cl his presence. Mr. Bryan was Introduce) by Hon George H Wendllng. who had opposed hi* election In I**>. Mr. Wendllng said he had known Mr. Bryan from his boy hood and that all the money In Wall street could nol buy him. Mr. Bryan was received with deafening I applause. He began by referring to Mr ! Wilson In most rompltmentary terms. He ! hod known Mr. Wilson In Congress and ' he had never believed that so kind and loving n man could Indorse a war of con quest. Mr. Bryan expressed hi* pleas ure at being able to address an assem blage of farmers. He wanted to knot* how any farmer could be a Republican. It was easy, he said, to understand how the head of a trust or an army contractor i could be a member of that party, but as ! for the farmers, they were not trying to get their hands In other* pocket* and lo ! keep others' hand* oul of their pockets. . However prosperous other classes might he the farmer was not a shaper of that ! prosperity. Another Exaggeration. Here Mr Bryan related the current re ports. concerning his oat crop, claiming that the exaggeration In this matter was a specimen of the fallacy of the report In the East concerning the proi>crous con dition of the agricultural classes. ''They always exaggerate the possibili ties of good crops.' he said, "and never lake Into consideration the likelihood of a laid crop And after the farmer has taken the chances, ho passe* between the bulla and bears of Wall street. The bulls horn him. the bears bite him and when he I* through with them he has to meet the gold bug. A good crop Is made the oc casion for praising the Republican party," he continued, "while n bad crop Is taken as a punishment for voting the Democrat ic ticket. The assertion Is almost made that the Republican party controls the rainfall hut thl* cannot be true, for If it were, there would be a monopoly on rain; the price would go up." The ITnanelsl ttacstlon. Mr. Bryan then took up the discussion of the financial question to show that more money was especially necessary io the farmer. Mr Brvan said: "What doe* the Republican party do t > help the farmer? Ha# It any means of raising the prices of what he has lo sell? You Itre told now that you have more money than you had In lkS I want you to rea l the speeches made In 13*3 and sec whether the Republican party promise) any more money You cannot find In a Republican speech of IW|, a promise of more money. The Republican* paid then that It del not matter whether we had much money or a little. Just so |i wras good. They disputed the quantitative the ory of money, and you cannot And where any Republican said In 1*93 that we hud an insufficient amount of currency and promised that the Republican parly would bring more money, and yet to-day the H publlcnn party boasts of an Increase >n the volume of money.

"The Republicans said we did not need any more and yet when gold was discov ered In Alaska the Republicans were glad there was going to be more money. They rejo'red so loudly that you would imagine that It was In the Rrpuhltran platform that they would discover gold If they were entrusted with power The Increased production of gold has been a help. We wanted more gold and more silver. ttnantltatlve Theory Nettled. The quantitative theory of money has been established and the Republican par ty to-day does not dare to brag of an In creased quantity of money and at the same time say that the quantitative the ory of money Is Incorrect. We got money because of a large crop In thl* country and a famine In Europe Did the Repub lican party make a large rrop In this country’ Did the Republican party pro duce the famine In Europe’ If not how can It claim credit for the Increased vol ume of money.

He made only two speeches during tha day. the Ural at Morgan's Grove, near Shepherdstown, and the aerond at Ky ser. At I>oth placea the crowds greeted the national candidate with enthusiasm and both speeches were vigorously ap plauded. There were large audiences at both meetings, hut that of the Grove waa exceptional In else. Deer Pork was reached late In the aft ernoon. but no meeting wa* held hers. Mr. Brynn I* the guest of Col.

Hot and disagree able as the w>*'her was. all stood patient ly through the meeting, applauding vocif erously from lime to time. Mr. Bryan said In part: A Government for All. "I want this government to remain such that the son of every cltlaen ran as pire to the highest reward* In business or In politics. I want It so that you will not ask who a man's father was. whether he he great or humtde. rich or ptor.

I rould be will ing then to let them take Ihetr chance* with Ihelr fellows," A Party of the Few. Mr Bryan then arraigned the Republi can parly, charging that the Republican parly of to-day I* the party of the few and that It* legislation gives a benefit to th comparatively few at the expense" of the many. He believed that throughout Ihe Republican pollct** there He* one vi cious principle, namely, that Ihe dollar Is worth more than the man.
