and give US another start. Do you
suppose when those 1o,ooo,ooo came
into the family in single day that
was proper occasion for a contrac-
ton OF the currencyf Why, when I
added seven to my family, if 1 had
contracted my currency I do not
know what would have been done.
THE PEOPLE AND THE CIRCULATION,
Come back with me now to this |
present year, 1892. How many peo-
pie have we using the money in circu-
tionP You have 64,ooo,ooo at q con-
sentative estimate. Taking the
25,ooo,ooo we had at the close of the
war FROM tho present population we
have 100000 l5o per cent more
people using the money than at the
time when the war closed. [ wish I ,
had the power of the prophet on one
occasion. He prayed that the Lord
might open the eyes of his servant
that he might see that the air was

his defense. sometimes feel / wish
l had the power in the presence of an
audience like this to open the eyes of
theaudIence to The sublime and newt
able fact that within twenty years in
this country we will have loo,ooo,ooo
Of people living under our flag and
that the air is literally filed with
shadowy feet, bone o. our bone, flesh
of our flesh, our children and our
children Is children, who will live on
this continent and remain here for
ever, they and their posterity.
What preparation are we making
for the coming of our own young?
(Applause.) 1t is an instinct of tho
lowest order of the animal creation to
make such preparation. Yet here we
are, two great parties in the Nation,
standing dumb in the face of such a
mighty problem ID this, allowing the
Nation to degenerate into state OF
| business cannibalism where every
man is trying to overreach bis neigh
Dor for the almighty dollar. What
preparation are We making for the
coming of our childrenP We have
35,ooo,ooo more than we had when
the war closed. They are here. God
sent them here. Their energies are
here. They will live here for good or
evil. How much money have we now
in circulation among the $4,000, oooY
MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
In 1865 we had $50 per capita.
How much have we got now? l have
brought Al'4DH a statement Of the
present Secretaly Of the Treasury,
Mr.. Charles FosGer, and it is the last
statement I hava been able to obtain.
ae says 5be currency now is 81 $685.
CO1lD y. What, aud 39,ooo,ooo more
peopel That is .S4Jo,ooo,ooo less
money and 39,ooo,ooo more people,
and yet you tell me to come out to
Nevada and tell you what is the mai

into your pockets and you can feel
what is the matter. Prolonged laugh
ter and applause.l Four hundred
million dollars less money anV $4,000
600 more people. Why, that is like
the pair of pantaloons got for the boy
when he was IL years old. They
were nice lit. He looked trim and
! handsome IN them. But you kept
them 90 until he was blk feet, six
inches high and now you swePr they
ought to fit him just the Same as they
did when he was IL years old.
1 hope you will all remember this
! maxim, and by the way, its author L
regard as the greatest economist OF
the age--your own Senator Jones'
that the dsmand for money = equal
to the sum of demand for. all things.
