Hpeaklng to TV! railway men at the
Auditorium, In Chicago, it few days ago,
M K. liiKiilla, president of tin- Illg Four
and I'hcaupeake and hlu railways, de
livered a iiuiKt. rly address on tin- money
qucatlon. Mr. Ingalla, ua la well known,
lias always been u Democrat until this
campaign. He was liiroduced to the
audience by It. O. Jardcau, u conductor
In active service on the '. M. and Ht. 1".
Ky., wlm pn-aeiiti'. Iilm aa a nuin hi,
the other iliiy, auid to hla employes: "Co
home and study Ibis question Then, If
you want to vote fur Hryan and Bewail,
and against what we consider the best
Intereaia of this company, and anyone
discharge you for ao voting, come to
me. I w ill dlarharge the man who dis
charged you and put you back to work."
The following are extracts from Mr.
Ingalla' speech: Let us look at the his
tory of our own country. In 17S2. after
we came out of the war with Kngland.
our currency was In the moat deplora
ble condition In the world. The old con
tinental coligrcaa had Issued greenbacks
unlimited; they were populist that
ev.-n Hryan ought to be proud of. They
put out so much -n ( I n-n t it 1 money that
It was In the end burned up. and when
Alexander Hamilton took charge of the
treasury In ITS: he had to rreute some-
thing n. w. He call.-.! In to hla aid that
great aon of Virginia, Thomas Jefforaoh,
a mini ho hud travcl-. the world over,
and who, perhaps. wui more funilllar
with the laws of commerce thnn any
body of that day, and they decide- that
ihey mu have gold and silver tn this
country, and Hint they would fix the ra
tio of ciiliuige aa near the commercial
vaiue aa poi.ie. urnl In pursuance
of that resolve they fixed the Value at
i io i.i. .now. they over-valued silver
by that. Tin y had ugrved that fifteen
oumea of silver should pay aa much
debt aa one ounce of gold, and by sidl
ing the latter atirond for fifteen and one
half ounces of sliver a man could pay
hla debt of tlfteen ounce of silver and
have half an mince as prollt, and the
result wan all the gold left the country
and we were on a silver baala. There
wasn't a gold ph-ce iwn. Kven the all
ver dollars that were coined were driven
out by the clipped and worn Spanish
pieces that came In. and In 1S06 Presl
dent Jefferson arbitrarily stopped the
free coinage of the same to save ex
pense.
In is; the tireat Andrew Juckson
came upon the scene a man who Is
supposed to have been a Democrat and
an honest man. until we have listened
to Mr. Hryan. who has given another
account of him. He had a friend In the
I nlted States congress by the name of
Thomas 11. Henton. who was in the
1'nlted States senate for thlry years,
and. If you want to, read the history of
the coinage of the Vnlted State and
see that this discussion Is no new thing.
If you w III take Renton's speeches you
will find he thought this iiuestion all
over; he repeatedly stated that our ra
tio was wrong and that we had no gold
In this country, and the result was that
In 1S34 a new ratio was established at 18
to 1, and In making that ratio they
overvalued gold Just as much aa they
did sliver before, for a man could take
hla sixteen ounces of silver and sell
them abroad and get more money to
pay his debts than an ounce of gold
would pay, and the result was that all
the silver left the country and wt had
nothing but gold. So extraordinary was
this that the halves and quarters,
which w ere made of the same propor
tionate weight as the dollar, disappear
ed, and in 1SB3 congress In order to pro
vide silver change for the people, had
to reduce the weights of the halves and
quarters and dimes.
Now consider this: Alexander Ham
ilton overvalued sliver about S per cent;
Thomas H. Renton overvalued gold
about 4 per cent, and yet so unerring
was the law of trade that In the first
place It drove out gold and in the next
place It drove out silver. Can you tell
me by what process our Populist friends
think they will keep their gold and sil
ver In circulation side by side after
they establish the free coinage of silver
at 18 to 1, w hen their commercial ratio
is 32 or 83 to 1? This process of cheaper
money driving out the better has been
known for '500 years. It was first men
tioned in i:it!4. It is what Is known as
the Rreahnm law, on account of Sir
Thomas Cresham, who In IMS wrote" a
letter to Queen Elixaboth In regard to
the matter. It Is as unerring as the
ebb and How of the tides, yet these Pop
ulist people come to preach a new
evangel and tell you in the nineteenth
century this law will not work.
Let me give you an Illustration: If
you have J100 of gold in your pocket
and J100 In sliver, and they are both
equal for the payment of debts, but
the gold can be sold to the money
-hunger for tlO'i, If you owe tluo to
nun what money are you going to pa
Iilm In? Von sr., going to pay him In the
silver and keep the g.ld. The result I
la that Hie silver will be In circulation I
arid the gold hidden and exported. ,
Probably 1 per cent would turn ih tide,
and the r-aill Is that If you estubllrh
the fre
niiKe h( silver today at l'i
to 1, you vt 111 drive out the IW.inW.Ooo ;
of gold you have In the country, and '
that will contract your currency about j
one-third and will produc a panic the
like of which the present hard times!
would l as a summer storm before I
a hurricane. There are some things you !
rail ili'ny, but there are other great un-1
written truths that cannot he disputed,!
and tho fact that the fre coinage of all-!
er by this country Psluy would drive!
out gold la an Ulldlrpuhd fact to any !
honest ami sensible man. This gold la '
now In the hamta of the bunks for the
purpose of discounts, and you and I
and rvi tybody w h i borrow money get
the benefit of It.
My friends, I tow you what happened
in i.vs hi mis e.ui-iry aim aguin in isji.

In 165. when the war ended, the gov -

the greenbacks. In 1ST4 they undertook
to increase the Issre and It was only
saved by the veto of General Grant.

but would have been melted down and

UMl-.Tlook to rvvlK. th? coinage laws
and they passed what is know n as the
law of 1ST3. by wWch they reduced th
1-gHl tender "valtlV -of silver, and by
which they made gold the standard. It
was a righteous and proper law, and one
that was Intended to put the commer
cial Interest of this country on a parity
with the other great civilized nations
of the world. It was a law-, which was
passed nfter weeks and months of delib
eration, and the man who tells you It
was n crime or parsed surreptitiously
Is either a knave or a fool. We got
through the panic of 1ST3 and we resum
ed upon the first of January, 1S79, upon
a gold hauls. Put the sliver mine own-
era hud taken alarm at the overproduc-
tion of silver, and to protect them
selves they raised the cry that silver
was demonetized, and In an evil mo
ment. In 1S7S, there was passed what
was known as the Wand bill, by which
the government was authorized to pur
chase and coin two millions of silver
a month. Not content with this. In 1SH0
they passed what was known as the
Sherman law, by which the government
w as to purchase 4.500,000 ounces of silver
a month and coin dollars or Issue silver
ceitltlcates for the same. They loaded
up the country with this useless curren
cy, for nobody tiMk the sliver dollars:
they are In the vaults at Washington
today; but they so loaded up the country
that In ISM we had a great panic. This
panic forced the repeal of thy Sherman
law and left us upon a gold basis.
Such, In brief. Is the history of our
currency and sliver legislation.
Wt
have been practically upon a gold basis
since 1834, and by law since 1873, and
the proposition now- presented to the
people la "whether we shall change the
standard of value w hich has existed for ;
so many years and establish a new one.
I think I have shown you conclusively
that the free coinage of silver by this
country at the ratio of 16 to 1, would not i
raise the commercial value of silver to j
that of gold, but that It would drive
out of circulation what gold we have, j
The best proof of this latter fact Is that -
no country on earth w here there is free j
colnoge of silver and gold at a different
ratio than the commercial one, Is there
any gold in circulation. Look at Mex- j
Ico, China, and South American repub-
lica; they all have stiver, but no gold.
The only countries that have silver and ,
gold both in circulation are those which,
like our own, have limited coinage and j
legal tender qualities of silver.
The chief reason urged by Mr. Bryan
and his adherents for a change Is that
we are having hard times, and that
these hard times are due to the fact
that we have demonetized silver, that!
we have not circulation enough for the i
needs of the people. They forget that!
by their own story silver was demonet- ing were below yesterday's closing fig
