| ing that out in Wise county. the great

Wealth. say that in Wise county labor
ers were all turned adrift without Q dollar,
and that the people we're standing around
their cabbage aud corn-pstohes ready 70
circulate lead II they persisted In getting
something to eat over their nsighDors

Now, want 10 suggest something 10 the
| learned fnanciers OF this country how
they can cure all these ills In Illinois ac-
| cording TO the fashion in which they pro-
( pose 10 cure our finances. just call these
i people up around and tell them that they
| are entirely mistaken about their COM
| plaint: it ~ not bread and meat they
want--it is only lack of confidence.
Is il money that these people want. and
bread and meat, or Is IL couhdcnce! Now,
! know that lack OF confidence has good
! deal 10 do with IL. Is - mighty hard for
! Won 10 have confidence that will pay YOU
1 $50 in week II haven't got red cent.
! IL is very hard for you to believe that
/ will paw you a thousand dollar next week
/ (nortgage on my farm II you know that
| have lost the seed that put IN tne
ground to make wheat With, and that my
crops will not yield enough TO do it. 80
behlnd tho lack OF confidence s causs-
tion. and the remedy for the lack OK conn-
dence Is 10 remove the causation.
HOW TO REMOVE THE cAUsy.
In order to remove tho causation you
have got 10 take the taxes OF this people
imposed upon them by tho Mckinley bill.
and give US a good old Democratic tarih
| such az wo had between lSi0 aud 1859,
when We traded with the world and
brought the fruits Of the world into our
market. iou have got 10 give this people
more money-s,lver and gold and hard
metallic money of the Constitution and OK
our fathers.
Let me make ono remark about the
value of silver bullion. Silver currency
sold in New York yesterday at a premium
of three dollars on the hundred. saw it
heralded in u Richmond paper this morn.
ing that good times were coming; that
5000 in silver money had Just arrived
here at a national bank from Petersburg;
yet. while these same men are paving
Sl03 in large checks and IN large amouptS.
they are telling the people II - only %
cent dollar that they haze got:
Well, now, let me make this obserya-
tion III the capital sts OF America are
buying 6j-cent dollars at l0] cents don't
wonder they are breaking, aud they ought
to If they haven't got any better sonse.
But the question sIill remains whether or
not l0}-cent dollar IA 6j-cont one. and
according TO the arithmetic | learned &C
school So and l0} are entirely dlderens
numbers. lApplause.
WHY SILVER rs Low.
Now, this propos,tion-wha silver bull
lion will bring upon the market a. bullion
when IL is denied the right Of coinage at
tho mint-ls no indication IN tho world
what It would be worth # II bad tho right
OF coinage. On the contrary, IN hard
tunes like these the higher the dollar that
IL coined the lower wlll 20 tho bullion thai
can't be coined. Indeed, Il viii 90 lower
as a commodity than wheat or corn or oats
~, r1fst b Hrt.s ffIaF mi
wear.
Why? Because silver bullion, which -
denied mlntlgt, ~ "a mere luxury out OK
winch 10 make silver plato and Jewels,
which YOU do not have 20 buy as you
would have 10 tuY wheat aud corn 70
exist consequently the higher tho demand
for silver that IS coined the lower Will go
bullion that can't DO coined. because II -
a mere drug and luxury upon the market.
They Ray that the warfare against silver 10
! made because silver ) 50 chtap.
They forge; The fact that they
commenced the warfare against silver
under this same leader John sherman,
in 1873. when silver wss WORTH n premium
OF per cent. Then tueF SAID they were
not against 1t because II was too dear. 30,
gong and coming, whrturr 1t - ht par or
below par or above par. the mononotnlliSJ

Now, then. il Is argued by them that II

the other dollar greater, nnd they are now
trying 70 strike down shfer uhue5 sho

WHY aoT TAXI soNE GOLD OFF,
Ietmo ask this question bey talk about
} putting more silver ma silver dollar. Your
debts arc no moro Teceemabie ia either
silver or gold. lsl't It Just rs Just 70 taAo
some OF the gold out OF the gold dollar h3
itlsto put moro silver IN u silver dollar!
And vet they tell you II you sug-
, eest that. that it Is reputation against
the creditor who has right TO demand
the dollar that was promised IN the bond.
Very well. II Is reputation against tho
creditor to take even ram out Ot tho
; gold dollar, because that identical dollar
} was promised. isn't II repudlatlon against
7 the people to put more SILVER IN the other
one than was promised them! lap
