Some people say that last fall's vic tory was a victory for the eeW stand ard. I have een papers containing Ion? editorials to that effect. Well, my friend", if Jit was, why did the president end a commission -to Eu rope? when aJRopublican tellsyou that the last election was a vindication of tlw gold standard ? You ask me why the preside it sent a commission to Europe; and Wien a man tells you thit prosperity has returned, and that the gold standard has been vindi cated, you tell him you will not be lieve It until Mr. McKinley calls the commission home. That the way to find out. 3Ij friends, If jou-ay that the vic tory last fall was a victory for the go'd standard: I wantyou to remember that In saying so you admit that It was a victory won by fraud. If it was a vicory for the gold standard it was won behind the mask of interna- tlon bimetallism, and that the presi dent understood. If It wa a victory for the gold standard, then excuse, If you can, the insincerity of the com mission to ak for a thing we do not want In this country. You say that it was a victory for the gold stand ard. Then I say to you that Is an other chapter In the secret fraudulent historj of the progress of the gold standard. I said that if the victory last fall Is claimed as a gold standard victory, It must be acknowledged that it was a victory won by false pretense, and that the American people did not vote for the Republican candidates on the theory that the gold standard was a good thing, and should be kept on Its merits. Just before the close of congress the rresient sent a message to con gress asKing fo- the appointment of a commission to reform the currency, The lower house, responding, passed a bill creating such a commission, but the senate refused to join in the ac tion of the house. Well, In that mes sage, the president appointed, with approval, to a conference held by fi nanciers In the city of Indianapolis, and that some time last January; and when congress refused to appoint a commission the executive committee oerat Indianapolis created a com mission; and that commission is now at work preparing a report to be con sidered by congress; that commission acting In place of the commission wnich the president desired to Shave the authority to appoint. That In dianapolis convention declared In fa vor of the retirement of greenbacks. DThe president, when he recommend ed the appointment of a commission, recommended it on the plan and In tended tint llii' ciiinniKsiuii should l recommend the rctiieiueiiL of green backs. I call your attention to the change; and then I want to say to jou Unit the Republicans In the last cam paign did not tell the people that they Intended to retire the greenbacks; and If they retired tlum without the question being submitted to the peo ple, they will take another step In the fraudulent and underhanded process by which they have defrauded them by conspiracy in tho United States. There Is a pledge that tho Repub lican party will keep the greenback in circulation, and an attempt to retire the greenback is a violation of the contract und pledge of faith. And, my friends, I want to nsk you why tho president of tho United States listened to England and tho financiers' assembly at Indianapolis and bo deaf to more farmers und laborers, who have never asked for the retirement of greenbacks? Republicans, your election this fall will have something to do with the ( e. M i i a f $ " ff v I Pi r IS 1 1 greenback. The president ha nt hi nie.aee to coBirre-s. lie did not ask for retJ rentes twf the t;reabackf bat be askedlfor the reform nt the currency.' , , That i mire eaptKHiio:. (Laughter, j They say reforn Me currency la j stead of retlrlmr tbe greenbacks ror he ;swe rcawi that they snia soead moeey instead of goM. It staaded better. (Laoehter.) Do you v?m.w what it meruit ? You know I that the gold standard conspiracy In cludes two thinps. It Includes the making the goW the ooly legal tender money of the United States, and the making of National bank notes the the United States. The gold standard conpir acy means the tarelm: over the money changers of te world the control of t lie only money "that will pay debts, and turning over to the National banks the Issuing of the only money that passes In circulation besides the lecal tender moner. That U- what the gold standard means. My friends, If you ak me what In fluence wa mot potent In determin ing the lat election. I will ay to you that It was not the enormous campaign fund, although It was un pualled In the political history of thl- country. The roost potent in fluence In determining tbe reult of the last election was the Influence that came from London. The financ iers of London notified the financiers of New York that lndepet;der.t action In this country meant that they would draw out their money and ere-' ate a panic, and the financier? of New- York notified the country financiers that the triumph of free silver meant panic to them, and the country financiers notified the employers of labor, the merchants, and business men that the triumph of silver meant bankruptcy to them: and the employ ers of labor notified their employes that the free coinEue of silver meant Idleness to them. There was the In fluence that began on foreing soil. Mr. Jlryan proceeded to say in sub stance: The "0,000,000 people of the Nation have given up by accepting the Re publican policy, the right gained by the 3,000,000 of 1770 of legislating for themselves, delegating it back to England. We must wait on her fcr bimetallism. Nothing has happened since elec tion to prove the failyer party incor rect. When the Democratic party lost its orators, orators came from the people. They told us all we needed was confidence, and McKinley's elec tion meant confidence. McKinley was elected. And for six months peo ple thought Bryan waselected instead of McKlnlcy, for the times they pre dicted If the former was elected came to pass. What was the first thing that came to aid the Republican party ? The Klondike. And they claim it. Yet how can they ? They told us we had enough money. More than enough is too much; and the gold men liave no right to be glad over the Klondike Said Mr. Bryan: They talked about a dollar that would buy more and more, and cheap ness was the thing that they most prated about. Why, my friends, they have to take one side or the other, If they want a dollar that will buy a great deal, they cannot rejoice over the rise In prices, because when wheat rises, it, laKes some or tne purchasing power out of the cold dollar, and where are they going to stop ? Why, If the people nut an idea that taklnir a little of the purchasing power out is a goou tiling, tney want to take more; and the people find that wheat Is high because of a famine is Kood.thev may conclude that the Increased value of money Is all right. If they find It Is a good th in l' to have hltth wheat. they want it without thinking all the time of the millions of starving peo ple who have raised the price of Amer ican wlirut. My friends, the first hone came to the Republicans from the discovery of gold in the British possessions; the second from a famine in the British possessions. Isn't It strange that all the food thlncs came to the Renuh- lican party from the British posses sions? (Applause.) Now, there s an old saying that there is a skeleton In every family closet, but the Republicans are the onlypeople that bring the skeleton out and brag about it. They are now parading the starving people of the old world whose necessities have raised the price of our wheat, and some of them are in some way trying to claim the credit for it. i noticed some fellow the other day who didn't know just how It was, but some way or other or somehow wheat was al- ways higher under a Republican ad ministration than under a Democra tic. New, my friends, the rise In wnuai; is someining mat; we can re joice over, or could rejoice over were it not for tho contemplation of the cause of tho rise. We want to raise the price of tho product to tho bi metallic level and we want to do it by Increasing the value of money, and taking out of gold so much o its pur chasing power as tho law put Into gold. 3SSg Bargains, A Bargains. gY'T?y.7rT, , "Sy 1 Bargains i IN i s s HOME 'MADE CLOTHING' 3 Patronize our Home Woolen Mills in iens ill ill Boys otlig !
