GOV. MKNIRY's SPEECH.
We meet in political discussion for
the first time since the overwhelming
defeat OF 1892. We meet with deep con-
Germ and in changed conditions from
those happily existing when We last as
semhled. The business condition OF
the country has created Just alarm
among our people, and is SO grave that
the President OF the United States has
convened Congress. in extraordinary
session with a view to securing prompt
relief. The President in his message 70
the Congress he has convened, says:
Tho existence Of an alarming and extraoFdi.
nary business situation Involving the weltare,
and prosperity Of all our people has constrained
me 70 cal together In extra session tho peoples
representatives. ? Values supposed 70
failures have invaded every branch Of businesa.
The presence and pressure Of the
situation described By the Pfesidentis
felt in every section Of the country and
few II tany Of our people are exempt
from 1t. The rich aud the poor are in
distress and are hoping and praying for
relief from the strain and wondering
when and how It will be found. This
business condition calls for sober 70.
Election and demands Of all OF US the
most careful judgment as well as the
exercise Of the highest patriotism.
Whatever comes or goes, we are alltor
our country. Having settled that much,
We can dispassionately discuss what
will best return 1t to the magnificent
prosperity which 1t has SO recently lost
REPUBLICANS FOR HONEST MONEY.
Oh the subject OF money the Reppb-
lican party stands where 1t has alWay1
stood. In the language of the Ohio
platform this year: awe favor honest
money, composed Of gold, silver and
paper, maintained at equal value and
under national and not state regula-
tions.n The best money obtainable Is
the safest money for all Of the people.
Whatever uncertainty may exist aS to.
other things, there should be no uncet-
tainty as TO the value OF the money
with which We measures the exchanges
Of the people, their product and their
labor. That should be as fixed and un-
varying in vtlue as human ingenuity
can make It. We do not want to strike
down either gold or silver. We'wautto
use both metals, but We insist now, as
We have always insisted, that the one
be at parity with the other 70 the end
that We might have the use Of BOTH
that each shall be- the equal OF the
other intrfnBicaIIy, as well as m legal
tender and In debtpaying power. The
silver product Of the country, one Of
the most important We have, should not
be Disseminated against, but some plan
should be devised for itS utilization as
q money which will insure, not the dis
placement Of gold, but the safe and tpll
use OF both, as exchanges among the
people. Ali the money we have to-day
is, good.
