than ever before. Civilization commenced
to open it's eyes wide and it's blood flowed
in rich, warm currents. Invention and
art and learning took their places again
in the progress Of the nation and the
world.
"Wealth brings independence and
courage. You know that. How often
have you seen the poor miner kicked out
Of saloon because he had no money?
But when he makes great strike the
proudest man in the town meets him
and takes off his hat. The lack Of money
makes Of the brave man poltroen, the
possession Of it makes him independent.
There was never an unreasonable supply
Of money in this country. Until about
1875 there was about $9O0,OOO,OO0; then
there was gradual increase. Not such
an increase as 10 claimed by the director
Of the mint; those reports are stuffed
They are erroneous, partly because there
ia no way to compel the truth. The re-
ports from such countries az Mexico and
South America are naturally exsgger-
ated. That is a failing Of the people Of
those regions. It is easier to pretend to
be rich than to put on a poor mouth and
admit ones poverty. But il the record
Of production 10 not accurate, the record
Of consumption is fairly accurate, and it
shows that the so-called record OF pro-
duction is fully 25 per cent. too high,
and those figures cannot be impugned.
So we have the record showing that till
1875 we had over s275,O 100000 of gold and
silver. We had enough money to main
tain prosperity until 1876. Why has not
that prosperity continued? Who is to
blame? will tell you. A band of con-
gpirators-the most devilish conspiracy
that was ever organized. Highway
robbery was honest compared to it. 1t
was the most despicsble crime Of history.
We had struggled through the CEN
turies for this time. There was universal
peace and prosperity; the great mines Of
the world were yielding their abundance;
business was active; the life blood flowed
through the veins of commerce; Obliga-
tiOns of not less than 1000, 600, 900 had
been incurred-sll q mortgage on the
energies Of the people; all predicated
upon an abundance Of money from the
mines at that time producing, based
upon the new lands and the new mines
opened by the hardy pioneers Of this
great west.
ain the dark few men controlling
the bonded indebtedness conceived the
plan of stopping the supply of silver
money which was two.thirds Of the
supply Of the whole world. From 1900
to 1859 the supply Of silver was pro-
portionately as SO to 81 of gold at the
ratio then standard. These men con-
oeived the project Of depriving the
debtors of the use Of silver as money in
order that the value Of every dollar of
indebtedness might be increased.
81 was in the senate when that bill
was passed. / say it, and l say it with
out reserve and defy contradiction, the
fatal CLAUSE was skipped in reading; it
was inserted outside the senate
chamber"
Great applause broke in at this point.

Harrison came into power on that plat
form, and proved an enemy to silver worse
than Cleveland, for he was more vigor-
GUS, more persistent in his purpose.
There was no traitor who was not re-
wsrded, no friend Of silver who was not
punished. He rewarded the Carriers and
Andersons.
HARRIsoN'S BASENESS.
II have heard it said he is silver
man, but such statement is absolutely
false. A silver bill should have passed
congress early in the Fession. 1t took
all the power Of the administration to
prevent it from passing, and when it
could not be prevented by fair means,
foul means were taken by arbitrary rul-
ings in the house.
"ThS measure we did get wss wrung
from him by the stand Of your senators
and myself and a few others. We an
nounced that without it we would not
support the tariff bill, that we must have
something il we could not have what we
wanted. l regret that we did not stand
upon our full demand, for at this cleo
ton they said, 'We shall put up gold
baron in both parties, and then what will
you do about it. 1t may be that New
England as well as old England likes high
interest, cheap cotton and cheap wool.
1t may be that New England, like Arte-
mus Ward, is prepared to sacrifice distant
relations. While ! voted for the tariff
and defended it, find no reciprocity in
that quarter, none whatever; they would
destroy US.
UNLIMITED AUTHORITY.
"There was another scheme, concocted
by the republican party, at first sight far
away from silver, but the result Of
which would have been to forever pre-
vent free silver. I allude to the force
bill, which provided for unlimited United
States officers, unlimited msrshals and
deputies, unlimited control over all cleo
tions, from the registration to the count
ing Of the vote. With that power in the
hands of the executive, unless he were 8
man Of extraordinary patriotism, he could
stay in Office the rest of his natural life.
A gOldbug president could have kept
goldbug congressman in Office forever.
When the bill came up in the senate it
was carried by six votes only. 1t could
net get single vote from the silver
states. 1t was designed to separate for
ever the west and south by barrier Of
hate, that upon this silver question they
might never come together, though their
interests are identical. 1t was supported
by the goldbugs of the east and opposed
by the silver men Of the south.
"It the west and south-the great pro-
ducing sections-join hands, they can
defend themselves"
The widest cheering interrupted the
speaker for several minutes.
"They are our friends, and they ask
only for honest money, and If the south
and west do not defend themselves they
will not be defended.
"The lending of money kills the heart.
The mlser worships his god. The love
of money is cancer which eats into the
heart Of the money loaner. The money
loaner preys upon society. When you
submit your case to him to decide for

question Of the demonstration of silver.
"Thus it was demonetized by q crime,
In 1875 the Latin union followed the OK
ample. You are familiar with the his
tory since that time. The gold men
have always controlled both houses Of
congress and the administrations, and
shaped the destinies Of both parties.
They have controlled the press in the
great centers. How we have heard the
changes rung on the good money claim
and the dishonest dollar A year ago,
when the president OF the United States
swung around the circle, that was the
burden Of the many speeches he made.
"John Sherman declares it to be q
dishonest dollar "a John Sherman, who
dishonored it. When he committed that
crime the silver dollar contained more
actual value than the gold dollar, be-
cause our ratio was 16 to /, while the
ratio was 151s to l in the European
nations. Legislation alone has made the
change. AS / have said, before 1859 the
production Of silver was in proportion SO
against 81 Of gold. Since that time the
proportionate production of gold has
been 60 to 40 of silver. The production
of gold has never been 80 great as it is at
the present moment. Let the men who
committed that crime call themselves
honest men and honest money men, these
men who have committed crime, these
men who have enriched the few to i'm
poVerish the many, call themselves honest
men!
LEGISLATION FOR GOLD KINGS.
Statistics say that in the year when
this crime was committed there was
$7,5OO,OOO,OOO OF silver colo. Silver
supplemented gold and money could be
made Of either Unfortunately. There
has been since then no increase of the
supply of silver, and there is now $780,
100000 OF gold, and all this gold is held
by the gold ring, and this man Roths-
child, who is legislating for US at Brussels,
is leading member Of that ring. Farm
lands in Europe and America have fallen
fully so per cent. in fifty years, except
where emigration or some other special
cause held them up; cotton and wheat
are below the rest Of production; tenant
farmers are increasing in numbers.
There are obligations enough to far more
than use all the gold available if they be
paid in gold, and the parasites say we
shall have nothing but gold, though
they have to admit there is not enough
Of it. If this be so, what shall prevent
US from falling into poverty and degra-
dationi The times are becoming critical.
If man is in debt he iS''ruined. Money
is flowing to the commercial centers and
millions are unused there. Stagnation
sets In and the situation grows worse
every year and there is no hope Of relief
except by having the medium of circula-
tion increased, and there is no way to
increase it except by restoring silver to
its true place.
TIRED OF PARTY PROMISES.
"We have attempted to obtain party
relief. We find that each party promise,
relief readily when it is out of Office.

from one party to the other, but in each

Give me the history Of the gold and
silver mines Of the world and I will write
the history Of the world. In the ruins Of
Ninevah we see the empty mines OF the
great power which built that mighty
city. The Nero mountain, in western
Asia, tells it's tale. We know how the
Phoenicians became prosperous, and then
when their mines gave out, were wiped
out. OF Greece, Yenophen has told US
whore they got their gold and silver from
the mountains Of Thrace. And mighty
Romel It's great mines in Spain were it's
foundation. Thousands and millions Of
lives were expended to procure the
precious stores OF those mines. In the
time Of Emperor Augustus, Rome pos
sessed nearly s2,OOO,OOO,OOO in gold and
silver coin. Rich, proud and victorious.
Everywhere was Rome victorious in
those prosperous times. She established
a glorious civilization which shall remain
in history forever. But the mines COM
menced to give out and the empire to
fall. One hundred years from Augustus
time they had but $5OO,0OO,0O0. In 1900
years less than $1OO,UO0OOO remained.
And then Rome went down. The dark
ages came. There was q shrinkage in
the prices Of everything. The feudal
ages followed, when those who had
money became tyrants and those who
owed it became slaves. There are many
who say that the American people are
too proud to ever become slaves. say
that any people will become slaves with
out money. The golden stream from
Mexico then came in and shed q new
light of prosperity upon the world. New
men were created and new progress
awakened. This went ,on for $50
years almost uninterruptedly until the
commencement OF the present century.
The supply Of gold and silver then did
not exceed s9O,OOO,OOO per snnum and
became less. Prices fell of so per cent.

That their arms must never be uncov-

That ruching about the neck or flowers

That short basques make them ridicu-

That the best thing they can do with

Do not take food except when the appe-
tite demands it; that is, do not recruit the
system unless IL be exhausted
Let the quantity of restorative nourish-
ment be proportioned 10 the degree Of
exhaustion which previous laboN have in
duced.
Select such food and drink as your own
experience and the general usages OF
society point out as best suited TO your
habits, and easiest OF digestion.
Let the food and drink be varied and
mixed, and, when in health, do not tor
ment yourself by too close attention TO any
dietetic rules. Any vexation will counter
act the good effects OF the more whole
some viands, while those less wholesome
may be eaten with impunity by those who
think very little about the quality OF their
food.
Avoid active exercise or study immed-
lately after taking food. The only ami
NAL, it has been said, that can go TO work
voluntarily after hearty meal is man
as he is also the only animal that can
sleep when his stomach is empty. After
a meal all other animals seek repose.
Nature suggests the wige plan of mac
tivity, and sends a lethargic hint to show
her will; but too often is this, from me-
cessity of want of wisdom, disregarded,
and man goes his arduous way lighting
down his inclination TO remain passive,
and hurrying to work while all other ami
mails drop into somnolence and peaceful
rest.
Tea, coffee and fermented liquors may
be used in moderation, but distilled spir-

under the guidance Of physician.
