futile, but l may be permitted to record
my conviction that when prosperity
does come back to this country. it will
be after We have announced TO the
world that We are nation of bi-metal-
lists, believing in hard money, both
gold and silver; when we have an.
nounced to the nations Of Europe that
we propose to have our share Of the
gold of the world; that we are rich
enough to hold it and are entitled by
our resources and our credit to have
it, and that ut the same time we have
opened our minis to the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver and have re-
turned to the paths Of the founders of
the republic, paths which so long as
We followed them, brought us financial
prosperity and happiness, and which,
whenever We divcrgcd from them,
have brought US financial disaster and
panic.

Congressman Bryan Of Nebrosla:-
''Thc question is not whether the
President is honest or not. 1t is
whether he is right. The President
has won the confidence Of the people;
but he has been deceived. lie said in
his message the people demanded the
repeal OF the Sherman act. He has
heard from boards Of trade and from
the chambers OF commerce, but he has
not heard from the farmers or the men
in the workshops; and he can no more
judge Of the opinion Of the people
than he can measure the ocean. lie,
the friends Of silver call the battle on
md never leave until the peoples
money is restored.
There is no such thing as an honest
dollar bccouse an honest dollar will al.
ways have the same purchasing power
and the government has never tried to
secure absolute stability in the dollar.
The most dishonest dollar ever pro.
posed is that child Of ignorance, the
gold dollar, for 1t will rise in value
and cheat the debtor. While we eau.
not secure an absolutely honest dollar,
We should approach Ms near us possible,
and the bi.mctallic standard ought to
be adopted because with bi-metallism
the money unit auctua,cs less than

Judge Amos Steck::-"Money is arti-
fetal, arbitrary, fixed. Its value does
not arise out Of its commercial or com.
modify value. It's the stamp that
makes the money. As money, it has
no relation to itself as commodity; as
money, it is function, use, to-wit:
to exchange all services and commodi.
ties. The possibilities of our country
are equal to the maintenance of free
coinage, alone and against al! the
world. Try it. See what it will do.
If unequal, it can be repealed. Abso.

to sl.29 aud keep it there. Things
which are equal cannot be at a dispari-
ty.'"

Nep York "Recorder::"-"The bus
mess of this country cannot be done
upon purely gold basis. There is too
much business to be done and too little
gold to do it with to justify the exper-
iment Of currency based wholly on one
metal, and that one the scarcest and
dearest Of the two. The total disfran-
chisemcnt Of silver as money metal,
which seems to be the aim of the gold
extremists at Washington, means a
violent and ruinous contraction of
values. The mere threat of it has al
ready given the first sharp twist to the
screws of contraction. To persist in
the total elimination of silver from our
currency is madness.
