Where the Trouble Lies.
My fellow citizens, our chief trouble row
ts to get confidence back to the people.
Our chief embarrassment comes from this
trouble Is the money. Ali the money We
have. got is good. our trouble is to get 1t
banks are full Of money. Money was never
less employed than 1t is to-day. and what
We want is something TO fetch it out. II
we nave something 10 sell we must uno
somebody who wants It. who is able to
pay for 1t. But If nobody wants what We
have got to sell. we have got to keep It.
and II we keep It we lose In whole or in
part what 1t cost lis TO produce. And IL
the volume Of our money was double what
| it is to-day. 1t would be just us hard to
get and we would have to get It by the
same process that we get 1t to-day. Our
trouble is not with the money: but 1t Is
how to get the money. And the way to
get the money Is to create demand for
Q;reat applause.) For when labor is stopped
wages are stopped, and wages are one of
the chief factors in the distribution OF
money.
The Democratic party is the most re-
markable party in history 1t is for any
thing to get power. and then 1t Is never for
anything which got IT power uaughter.l
1t was for free silver in ls!'2 In some Of the
house Of representatives, and we had the
senate and the presidency. they used to- go
through the idle ceremony Of passing free
silver bill. but since they lave got into

The single tax men voted f, for u min, and NJ,
