say this, the people need more
money to transact business with, and
tina: instead Of increasing the volume
Of money as The population increases
Aid is business increases, Mr.. Cleve-
land has aided those who wanted to
establish 4 money trust and thus
''Uull : he price Of money and bear
Tie price OF commodities. Now let
me prove it. When the Democratic
administration went into office. they
said the prices would jump up, up
until we would hunt our necks in
look ny up to follow the rise of prices.
bu' instead Of going up as they said
they would, they have gone down, un-
Ill now We have get to break our
bat ks looking down to see where they
have gone to- Why? Because Of the
money trust. You are familiar with
the jute bagg!ny trust, with the oil
| trust, with the sugar trusts, with cot
fee trusts, with flour trusts, and you
know that when Il trust is formed OF
all, or Il controlling portion, Of that
particular commodity, the price goes
up and it takes more money to buy
more of that commodity. How do
YOU break that trust? 1t never is
b:ollcn until the trust goes as far as
ii thinks it safely can, or 4 new crop
OF Wheat comes on breaking the flour
trust or Il new crop Cf cotton break
ing the cotton trust; or 4 new crop OF
coffee breaking the coffee trust; and
thus new supplies b,eak the corner
and opsn the market. They have
made money trust. How? Bv
shutting off the supply Of gold, there
rbciny no material increase Of gold
money, after YOU allow for that cset
in the arts and sciences. They have
shut OFT the increased supply of silver
: money. and also the increased supply
Of paper money-and now Wall street
has made Il money trust, and it vii
never he bloken until the govern
: ment puts in new supplies of money
: As long rs that trust exists prices alt
: bound to 90 down; wreckayc and mis-
: cry are bound 10 come. Why? peo
