SILVER.
In 1877, they called congress to unity
the weights and measures. We owed
three thousand millions Of debt at that
time. outside of private corporations.
That conference before it broke up recon-
mended the decentralization of silver. Mr..
Sherman recommended a bill to destroy
silver. A minority report predicted IN
forseen evils. Mr.. Sherman did not dare
to call up that bill with. that minority re-
port. Mr.. Sherman presented a bill to
codlfy the mint law. | did not discover
that the silver dollar had been left out. as
we were not looking for it as it was
bill to define salaries. When it
came to the Senate in 1872, it
had history. On the 18th of January
it was called up for action. These amend
ments were taken up and discussed. The
sixteenth amendment, the one demonetiz-
ing silver, was skipped, wasn't read.
That is the reason that Holman, Blaine,
voorhees, and the others said they didn't
know OF it. l have told Sherman OF it,
but there has been no explanation. Ii
any one doubts my word, / am ready to
demonstrate it. Cheers and applause
That was the great crime. Oue-half of
our money supply was cut off. Prices
fell 90 per cent.
A CHANGING STANDARD.
Now, do you call gold an honest meas
ure, that is, an honest money, that keeps
prices stable? 1t is a changing standard.
1t changes every hour, every minute, in
favor of the bond holder and against the
people. | denounce gold as a robber. We
have been robbed of this heritage given
US by the pioneers of the west. They have
by fraud destroyed the value OF your
mines. They have sent many of you to
premature graves. They now call you
silver barons trying to rob the Roths-
ehilds. LGreat applause
THE DARK AGE UPON Us.
The Indications are that the dark ages
are upon us. Europe has fifteen million
soldiers to subjugate the people. Manu-
facturers of England say they are ruined.
The farms in England have shrunken so
per cent. We find the struggling en-
plover calling on the army to put down
labor. Look at the failures. There will
be fewer goldbugs next year than this.
an interest debt of billions? They say
there's plenty of gold to go around. See
the failure In Sioux City yesterday. There
is four thousand millions of silver, and
they say it is not good money. They pro-
pose now to repeal the act of 1S90-the
Sherman act. The delegates to the Brus
sells conference said shat if that was done,
silver coinage would have to be given up
in India. This money must go out of eX-
icfo 3 l. -
entirely.
THE RATIO.
Max Muller found that the ratio between
gold and silver, had only deviated three
points in three thousand years. The
relative value is the coinage value. Now
they say change the ratio. There was
never such fraud proposed in the world.
There are four thousand millions of silver
IN circulation. If it had to be recast it
would cost the people one billion five
hundred and twenty million dollars.
Did not the miner maze his investment
in these mines when silver was az gold?
remember the first time l called on
Lincoln, he took me by the hand and
said that it was the energy of the miners
that produced gold and silver to prose-
cute the war.
They sneer on US now because we say
make the restitution as much as you
can. Restore the value to the mines as
much as it can be done. Right the wrong
OF 1873. Restore prosperity. With all
charity to MIR. Harrison, if he did agree
to sign bill if it was limited to the home
product, the most charitable view we
can take of it is that he wanted to make
himself agreeable at that time. Under
what pretext can the secretary sell gold 10
buy coin, when the treasury is over
flowing with coin, there is no distinction
in the law. The bankers say that the
credit of the United States will be i'm
paired unless bonds are sold to get them
gold for shipment, l don't believe he
will, nor do l believe the president dare
to.
France has the same law as we have as
far as paying gold and silver. / protest
against Increasing the national debt for
the purpose of accommodating the Roths-
childs, who want the gold to refund the
debt OF Austria. Tremendous applause.
Buy no more money to help the Roths
childs to enslave the other countries.
They say that with free coinage gold will
go out of the country. Let the instru-
ment of our torture go. wish every
doller of it had gone, and we had silver in
its stead.
ENTHUSIASM AND CHEERS.
The scene at the conclusion of Senator
Stewards speech, which lasted nearly
two hours, was one of the widest and
most enthusiastic ever witnessed over a
set address. The audience rose from it's
seat and cheered for several seconds.
Three cheers were also given to Mr.. Irish,
out of courtesy for his effort.
THE NEW MEXICAN PRINCE.
