million of gold driveu out of circulation
we will reduce our s-r capita money of
this country tH-lwi-en right and nine dol
lar. Su it ia nut fur mure luuney. We
bate an abundant supply of circulating
medium-gold, silver, national bank
grti-ubacka, treasury notes, fractional ail

then, that creates this d and for silver?
It ia oM'iily avowrd. Il ia not more dul

Il ia a lower standard of value that I hey
are d sliding. Tbey aay gold hna gone
up until it baa censed to be a proper
standard of value, and they want silver,

"Now, my frlenda. there ia a great
deal of talk alimt bimetallism and Hie
double standard and a great deal of con
fusion iu the use of those lerma. HI
nielnllisiu is tho use uf the two metals
as money where they are both used.
Hy a double siamlnrd I hey mean Hint
we shall have a gold dollar ami a silver
dollar which will lie a unit of value,
by which all property and all wage
ami everything la tu lw nicaaurrd. Now.
our fathers thought that wheu they used
these two metala in coinage they must
determine the Intrinsic relative value of
Hie two, ao that a comparison of the
markets of the world would show Just
what relation one ounce of ailvcr bore
to one ounce of gold: how iiinuv ouniwa
of ailvor it took to be equal to one ounce
of gold in the markets of the world
where gold and silver were used, ami
they carefully went about ascertaining
that. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton gave tlicir great nowera
the determination of that question, and
they collected the market reirts and
they studied with all their power that
question, and when they fouud what

plauae.)
As things are now tho silver tinii.r.
that we have are supported by the gov
ernment, and the guvernmeiit' that sup
ports this silver bullion hna Issued these
dollars on it own account not for the
mine owner and It bus pledged Ita an
cred honor it would make every one of
these dollnra aa good aa a gold dollar,
(lireat applause.) And that is a power
ful aupiHirt. Our I'opullstie friends pro
pose that the man who digs sliver out of
the mine mny bring it to the mint nml
have it stumped and banded bnck to him
an a dollar, the government having no
respuuniliility about it. These men
would reject Willi contempt the proposi
tion Hint free colnnge wna to come with
A pledge on behnlf of the government
to maintain the parity of the two dollars.
(Applause.) Hut this feeling Is well
adapted to touch the prevailing American
bumiitiousiu'sa nud well adapted to
touch that prejudice agninnt Knghind
which ninny have, but can we do this
thing ourselves? Is it a question wheth
er we will do il, or ask anybody's con
sent whether we may. or ask Hie co-op-oration
of somebody? Not nt nil. I
tell you what this government can do
alone. It can lix its money unit. It
can declare by Inw what shall be the
relative value of nn ounce of gold and
nn ounce of silver, but it cannot make
that last declaration good. (Applause.)
It is iimiucstionnbly fully within the
putter of Ibis government to bring this
country to n silver basis by coining silver
dollars nml making them Icgcl tender.
Tbey cau do that.
"This government might any you shnll
take one of these dollars, but it cannot
sav nml enforce its decree if you should
call out the regular army or navy and
muster our great modern ships nml the
miiitin'. nnd put William .1. Itryun in

respond. (Applause.) We can of our
selves, of oui own wisdom, declare the
unit of value. Wo enn coin silver frce
Iv, but we cannot make sixteen ounces
of ailvcr equal to one ounce of gold un
less it is. (Applause.) And it ia not
tiniest the merchants take it at that
rate.

Tho issues of this national election are
