the issue of to-day. II you get the people to vote
for hard money all will be right. The Democracy
ha- always been for hard money. (Applause) He
huped the Democracy would adhere to its principles
TO the principles on which the republic found
Ell. Gold and silver the true basis. The issue
is fairly before us. The Republicans say they are
for hard money. The speaker then proceeded to
show the difference between the Democratic and
Republican policies. The Republicans desire to per
prtuate the National Banks who get interest from
the government and from the people, applause
and then make little more money out OF their dis
counts This is the policy the Republicans aim to
perpetuate. Dir. Garcelon gave striking ustra-

with some members of his family, about 100000 in

these bills in bonds He did and then the govern

deposited in his bank, and he found he could use
their money and do discount business of thou
