,It is Heard in New York on the
Vital Issues of the Great
' Campaign.
PERILS OF POPOCRAT SUCCESS.
Stirring Address in Which
Questions Are Handled in a
Masterly Way.
All
New York, Aug. 28. At Carnegie hall,
Thursday night, an immense and enthu
siastic audience gathered to hear the
issues of the campaign discussed by ex
President Benjumiu Harrison. Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew presided over the
meeting. Both Mr. Harrison and Mr.
Depew were the recipients of ovations
when they entered the hall. Upon call
ing the gathering to order, Mr. Depew
delivered an address on campaign issues,
At the close of which he introduced ex-
President Harrison, who at once entered
into a discussion of the issues. He spoke
at considerable length, being very fre
quently interrupted by applause. Re
ferring to his appearance as a camnaiirn
peaker he said it was due to his sense
of the duty he owed to the country to
combat the fallacies sought to be foisted
upon the people by the Democratic nartv
and Its allies. He acknowledged his re
spect for the feelings which actuated
the gold Democrats in occupying the po
sition they do. but said they must not
xpeet the Republican party to reorgan
ise itself because the Democratic party
had disorganized itself. The Demo
cratic party had once more exhibited its
capacity to be ruptured and a party that
cannot be split was a public menace.
When the leaders of a party assembled
In convention depart from its traditional
principles and advocate doctrines that
threaten the integrity of the government,
the social order of our communities and
the security aud soundness of our
nance, it ought to be split, and it digni
ten ftself when it does split. A bolt
from any party is now and then a most
'reassuring incident aud was never more
reassuring and never had better cause
than now. The Republican party fronts
the destriictinuists and trumpets its de
fiance to the enemies of "sound money."
It will light, however, without covering
any of the glorious mottoes and inscrip
tions that are upon its bauner. Contin
uing. Mr. Harrison said:
"That is a leading Issue of a cam-
taign which most agitates the people,
n my opinion there is no issue present
ed by the Chicago convention mure iui-
tortant or vital than the question they
art raised of prostituting .the power
nd duty of the national courts ami na
tional executive. The defense of the
tonstitntion, of the Supreme court of the
Jnitcd Slates and of the President's
ftower and duty to enforce all of the
Jaws of the Vnited Slates without await
ing the call or consent of the governor
f any slate is an important and living
Issue in this campaign. Tariff and coin
age will be of little moment if our con
stitutional government Is overthrown.

"The almoaphcre of the Chicago con
vention was surcharged, with (be spirit

ried and its nominations made with ac
companying incident of frenisv that star

Mr. Bryan asserts that
ber of judges and pack the court to get
a decision to please them. (Applause.)
"My friends, our futhers who framed
this Eovernuient divided its great pow
ers between three great departments
the legislative, executive and the judicial.
It sought to muke these independent,
the oue of the other, so that neither
might overshadow or destroy the other.
The Supreme court, the most dignified
judicial body in the world, was appointed
lo interpret the laws and the constitu
tion, and wheu that court pronounced
a decree as to the powers of Congress
or as to any other constitutional ques
tion, there is but one right method if we
disagree, and that is the method pointed
out by the constitution to amend it to
conform with our views. That is the po
sition today.
"Yon are to answer, then, my fellow
citizens, in all the gravity of a great

our fathers instituted in our system of

court and a subservient President is in
the white house, that the judgment of

versed by increasing the number of
judges and packing the court with men
who will decide as Congress wants them
to. (Applause.) I cannot exaggerate the
gravity and the importance and the dan

that parity between our silver and gold
coins which the law declares is t-he
policy of the government, and beetuse
he hus the courage to execute the pow
ers given to him by the resumption act
to carry out that declaration of public
law. I undertake, therefore, to say
that if Mr. Bryan, or a man holdiug his
views, were in the presidential chuir,
without any legislation by Congress, we
should be on a silver basis in a week's
time. (Applause).
"The silver question what is it? Do
you want silver because you want more
money, a larger circulating medium ? I
have not heard anybody say so. Mr.
Bryan is not urging it upou that busis.
If anybody were to seek to give that as
a reason for wanting tree iiilver he would
be very soon confounded by the state
ment that free silver would put more
gold out of circulation than mints of the
United States could possibly briug in in
years of silver, and that instead of hav
ing more money we would hnve less. (Ap
plause.) With our six hundred and odd
million of gold driven out of circulation
we will reduce our per capita money of
this country between eight and nine dnl-

tneu. mat creates this demand for silver?
It I openly avowed. It is not inure ilol-
lurs, but cheaper dollars that are wanted.
It is a lower standard of value that they
are demanding. They say gold has gone
lip until it has ceased to be a nrouer
standard of value, and they want ailver.
juii now do they want it.
Now, my friends, there la a ereaf
deal of talk about bimetallism and the
double standard and a great deal of con
fusion in the use of those terms. Bi
inetnlllsm is the use of the two metal
a money where they are both used.
l(y a (loiilile sin iidit id they mean that
we shall have a cold dollar anil a ailr..r

hy which all pnis'rly and all wage
and everything is to Is- measured. Now.
our fill In r thoRKht that when they used
these two liietnls in rolnaire thev iniial
determine Ihe intrinsic relative value of
Ihe two, so that a comparison of the
mnrketa of the world would show Just
what rein I Inn one ounce of ailver bore
lo one ounce of gold; how many ounce
of ailver it look to be equal to one ounce
of gold in the market of the world
where gold and silver were uaed, and
Ihey carefully went ahcut ascertaining
that. Thotnaa JeflerMin and Alexander
Hamilton gave their great powcra to
Ihe determination of that question, and
they collected the market rcHirt ami
Ihey Btudic.1 with all their Hiw.-r that
question, and when they found what
appeared lo le the general and average
rclntive value of the. two metal they
fued uHn a ratio between l hem. Now,
what wa Ihe object f . that? Whv
did they lintii all? Because they fully

pass u law that 50 cents is a dollar.
Thht would not muke it so, would it?
It would be a legal dollar; but It would
not buy a dollar's worth of anything.
What is the effect of that? The mer

these Institutions make it right with
them? No. This policy coerces integ

. the result of solid scientific inquiry
'. made by mev of both parties to deter
mine what Hie trutlk was. and tne trutn
they foumj that the enormous disparity
between the advance of the cost of liv
ing and the advance iu wages falls in ex
actly with what we would conclude iu
advance. Laborers, men who work,
whether with head or hand in salaried
positions, would do well to take these
facts to heart and settle the question
after that broad, deep inquiry to which
Mr. Bryan invites you, as to whether
you want to enter into another experi
ence such as you had during the war.
when wages advanced so - slowly and
tediously unrl the cost of your living
moved on so swiftly.
"I have sketched very hastily some of
the evils thnt will result from this
chanire to n debased dollar a contrac
tion of our currency by the exporting ot
our gold ami a readjustment ot every
thing. Now. who will get any benefit?
Well, the man who owes a debt that he
contracted upou a gold basis and is able
to pay it with a 50-cent dollar. He nnd
the mine owner w ho gets an exaggerated
price for tlic products of his mine are
the on v two neonle. or classes or people,
that 1 can see thnt would hnve any bene
fit out of it. 'Ihey make a strong ap
peal to the farmer. They say it will
put up prices. Well, in a sense, yes.
Nominally, vet. Reallv. no. If wheat
goes from 50 cents to $1.20 the price
hns been increased, you will say. but if
the price of everything else has gone up
in the same proportion, a bushel of
wheat won't buy for the farmer any
more guirur ov coffee or farming uniilc
ments, or anything else that he has to
purchase.
"It invokes thp idea thnt this covers
ment of ours shall pay not only itt debt
of honor but thnt they pny the interest
ou its bonds and the circulating notes
in a debased currency. My country
men, this country of ours, during the
troublous times of the war may have
had severe trials, but these financial
questions are scarcely less troublous
than those. Does not every instinct of
pride, does not every instinct ot sell
interest, does not every thoughtful, af
fectionate interest iu others, does uot
our sense of justice nnd honor rise up
to rebuke the infamous proposition that
this government nnd its people shall be
come a people of repudiators?" (Pro
longed applause and cheers.)
CAMPAIGN NOTES.

wisdom and experience is sought for by
farmers and In boring men in their private
matters, is considered hy many ot them
as an unsafe uilviser in political mntters.

been telling the American people for
thirty years that they knew the tariff
