the bonds are not taxed. There are
several answers to this. In the first
place they were and are taxed, and
taxed in advance. Tbe man who
pays par in gold for bond bearing
only 4 per cent interest, and thus
loans his money for or 5, or only a
fraction more than half the legal or
usual interest in this State, pays for
exemption from further taxation
in advance, pays largely for it. To
tax men or differently now would be
to break the contract just as much
as to refuse payment in whole or in
part.

and, according to the universal law,
the price of labor went up last. 1t
was the last to rise. A voice: Come
down first. Applause and laughter. |
And when it did rise it didn't rise so
high as the cost of living rose,. and in
the widest days of initiation we knew
when theincrease of wages was SO per
cent, the increase of the cost of liv-
ing was seyeDty-five per cent. So
that imitation, though it increased the
nominal price of the laborer's wages,
it increased the price of living still
more. 1t offered HIM more, but in
| fact gave him less. That is what in
fiation did. And now some one in
the audience anticipated me, and
wisely When labor comes down it
comes down among the first. That is
true. An uncertain currency that
goes up and down hits the laborer the
hardest blow both ways. Prolonged
applause 1t helps him last and hurts
him first. Applause. And there
fore of all men in America, the man
who ought to demand the resumption
of specie payments and the fixing and
making certain our standard of value
is the laboring man who can only suf-
fer when that standard is departed
from. Great applause. The capt.
alist can take advantage of the mar
ket. If he has anything to buy he is
not compelled to buy it all to day he
can wait till the market price is low
and buy at an advantage. II he has
something to sell he is not compelled
to sell to- day; he can wait till the
price is up and sell at its best. Not
so the laboring man. He goes out in
to the market of the world with Just
one thing to sell and that is his DAYS
work. The work OF his own muscles
that he can do to-day he must sell to-
day, and at the price of to-day or it is
forever lost. APPLAUSE What he
needs to buy he must buy now when
necessity compells him. He there
fore cannot like the capitalist dodge
difficulties of initiation and contraction
the ups and downs of the standard OF
value, but they strike him both ways,
and strike him hard. Applause. I
What, therefore, the laboring man
needs is this: When he has earned
bis money he shall get in currency
that will keep over night. Tremen.
dous applause and cheers
Resumption, therefore, means that
your currency shall be made better
better and better, till your dollar is as
good as the best dollar in the world
and there stop. Applause We
fought this great war to make all men
equal before the law. Applause.
We fight this battle OF finance to
make all our dollars equal before the
law applausel whether they be silver
gold or paper. We believe in a foot
that measures just one foot, no less,
no more applauseb pound that
weighs just sixteen ounces avoirdu-
pois, no less, no more and a dollar OF
whatever it be made, that is worth,
either as evidence of debt or as re
atty, just one hundred cents, no less,
no more. Applause. We have SILL
100000 of trade with the old world,
and every dollar of that trade is
measured by the standard of coin.
We want dollar so good that it will
measure all that and be as good as a
dollar is across the water.

Most OF them are held by or for
those who are not rich. Again the
Government and American people
In Congress assembled said when
they asked money for the bonds that
no more than $500, O0O,0 900 of legal
tenders should be ou standing. This
was to say that the bonds should
never be paid by legal tender notes.
This pledge obtained he money and
there it stands to be kept 10 honor

the reason for striking at the bonds
or at those who hold them? The
chief objection now seems to be that
