THE MONEY QUESTION.
"As to money and banking, the coun'
try will depend on the Republican
minority in congress for defense from
threatened harm. Bi-metallism will, Of
course, be maintained by Republicans,
and the sagacity OF the Republican
minority in congress will doubtless pro-
vide, with the aid OF conservative Dom
ocrats, some provision in substitution
for the sherman act which will preserve
continued parity in the value oi
coined gold and silver. Neither the
extreme eastern view that would force
this country to gold basis, or the view
that would make money dearer and all
other property cheaper will solve the
problem, or save the country. This
is silver producing nation and
our money should be OF gold,
silver and paper, every dollar
OF which should be as good as the other
and the volume OF safe money made and
kept sufficient for the demands Of our
expanding nation. II our banking ays-
TEN can be extended to the smaller
towns so as to give the solvent farme or
the ready benefit OF his credit, and as
low rate OF Interest as the business man
is given, and II changes can be made in
city banking so as to give tho solvent
workingman as low rate OF interest as
business men have, very much good
will have been attained, This question
OF smaller banks nearer the people is
not small one, however much the
large money centres may decry 1t, The
views which are given are my own and
neither tho Republican party nor any
faction in it can DO held responsible for
them.
A BROAD POLICY.
"As the Republican party is the only
one that has ever been able to legislate
successfully for tho protection Of Amer
lean labor, has tho time not come for II
to consider whether II cannot do so still
for the benefit OF the business welfare
and social life OF the great masses2
'"The League clubs could find no more
interesting or profitable question 10 dis
cuss or investigate than the co-opera'
tive system. Factories OF all kinds,
farms, railroads, banks, are testing it
and find increased profits to themselves
as we'll rs larger rewards to their en-
ployes. Arbitration and conciliatlon
should be used Another theme for
discussion is the growing question OF
better roads in America, aud still an
other the political rights OF women. No
subject could be more interesting than
this.
"Let US make door or 80 open and
so wide that every voter may come in.
Let us strike dawn and repudiate any
aristocrucy or action or prejudice Of
action as was shown In the course OF q
social-political club in New York few
weeks ago in refusing admission TO q
splendid young American because OF
race or religious prejudice. | hope to
SEQ this convention while standing
bravely for the spirit OF Americanism in
all factions and ambitions disown that
act and denounce 1t aa being unworthy
OF this country and Of the Republican
party. Make tho gates Of the Ropubli-
can party wide enough for Republican
victory"
It took over an hour for President
Clarkson to complete his address. The
