is no such thing as international money.
Mr. Horr-I am not here for the purpose
or defending or abusing Grover Cleve-
land. At proper time and in the proper
place l could give my opinion of him
without any hesitancy. .Naughter) But
l am here to say that Mr.. Harvey ought
TO be ashamed of himself. (Applause.)
When he assaults men who furnished
means to put down that rebellion, as
grand band of patriots as the CONNER
c1al men of this nation were, he is doing
something that is beneath the dignity of
a good American citizen. (Applause.)
Let me tell you. Robert Morris, the bank
er of our first revolution, did as much to
save this nation as any general in the
field. (Applause.) Men can have money
and still be patriots. Men can save few
dollars and still be decent. Shame on the
man who will adopt philosophy that
compels him on all occasions without ex-
ception to vilify and abuse the people,
and the best people of his own country.
(Applause.)
But this debate is drawing to a close.
1 desire to state to this audience that
silver has had its day as money of final
redemption. 1t will always be used as
money for the purposes for which nature
adopted it.
Gold has come to stay because gold is
better adapted than silver for the great
transactions of American life. It has
come to stay because the people Of the
whole civilized world like it, believe in it,
prefer it. Applause) He talks about
England. I have no great respect for
England, but England did not dictate
this matter In the monetary confer
ence of 1867 the civilized nations adopted
the very principle that was embodied into
the law of 1873. I stated that before,
and Brother Harvey promised before we
quit to show me that was wrong. If he
will try it he will have a good time.
have the report of that monetary confer
ence right here, and when you dispute
that proposition of Mr.. Shaw's we will
see about it. (Applause.)
he speaks of the solar system and the
pla3nets which revolve around it. Under the
solar commercial system; under that metal
as unit of value in our coinage, with gold

merciai system; (Applause) The market
Of the world will be transferred from Lon
HE refers to the metal he likes as the vel
low metal, and compares it to the sun. We
look upon that metal in the coin he gives
me as pure and white, as emblematic of vir-
tue. and honesty and purity. We would
make it money with the other metal that
he has named and without reference to col
plause) l thank you, Mr.. Horn, for the
coin.
II am about to close this debate want
in the words that I shall utter, to extend an
encouraging message to the distressed peo-
pie of the United States: I want to say to
them that relief is coming, to pick up cour-
age, and to those who are suffering until
their hopes are crushed and who contem-
plate abandonment of all hope in their bust
ness, | say do not do SO: Hope. comfort
ana renef are coming. Manhood in this
country is again going to be revived We
are going to force this country by sheer in
fuence Of intelligence to cease it's worship
than humanity. Applause.)
Some Scottish troops were once sur
fighting with provisions cut off, the Scottish
soldiers were dying of hunger: they were
still brave and could repel the enemy, but
had brought them to the consideration Of
surrendering. They had waited in vain for
re-lnforcements. When about to send forth
waiting for many days and weeks for REIN
forcements to relieve them. the soldier who
started with the message had but mounted
the parpets when he heard in the distance
the Scotch bagpipes of the Scottish soldiers
playing The Campbells Are Coming There
was no surrender and there was victory.
Let me say to the people of the United
States that if you will listen you will hear
the music upon the air, The Campbells Are
son, Jackson, and Lincoln are coming Ap-

1.-THE same oppression that exists in this
country by the fraudulent money measure
ment that is con1scating your property has
existed throughout all the history of the
world 1t first entrenches itself in power
your property falls in value the salaries of
bushels of wheat would have paid the presi-
ident's salary Of $4,000 in 1878 it will take
Cleveland of $4,000 now With the encour-
agement Of the money power comes in
creased salaries and official corruption;
A WAR OF LIBERATION.
Today liberty Is appealing to us from all
over the world. Cuba is today striking for
liberty against the oppressor, Spain 1 have
stood in the harbor of Havana and looked
upon that old fortress at it's mouth and had
told to me by, a citizen of Havana that be-
meath it's walls underground were subter-
ranean channels, passages and cells; that
citizens of Cuba, for political crimes only,
had been in these cells for years and years
and had never seen daylight.
1T is to liberate these people: 1t is to end
their oppression that comes with your mon
ey power, that the liberty-loving people of
Cuba are today striking for liberty There
is rising in this country with your money
power, tendency to entrench and protect
opportunity. The president of the United
States, the willing implement of the money
power and tyranny and oppression, has Civ
en- every assistance to Spain, has sent our
war vessels to guard the coasts of Cuba to
prevent the friends of Cuba, the Spaniards
living in Florida, from going to their sue
cor. He has taken down the flag of this re-
public when reared upon an island republic
in the Pacific Ocean. He has struck down
the Monroe doctrine that said tyranny and
oppression should never find a fOOthOld upon
the western hemisphere.
''The poor nations of Central and South
America, reduced and debilitated in man
hood and property by the gold standard, the
bonds that they have had to pay, requiring
them to give two portions of their silver
and two portions of their property, are to-
day the victims of England, and under the
policy adopted at Washington she has no
one to stop her passage.
1--WE are fighting the battle of liberty for
the world Applause.) The result of your
verdict upon this momentous question will
cheer and stimulate the nerves Of free men
in every land. Never was civilization so de-
pendent upon the action of any one people
in the world as it is today upon the people
of the United States. The money power has
crushed human liberty the world over.
Thomas Jefferson when in Paris was
greatest protection in the United States
against tyranny His reply was: In every
log cabin in the United States there is rifle
and tyranny does not dare raise it's head
The men who owned those rifles have passed
away, but they have left you the ballot, and
as you guard and protect that ballot, SO will
you answer to history for the charge that
they gave to you. (Applause) We need a
second declaration of independence in the
United States. (Applause.)
II want to take your minds back to a
scene that was enacted upon our soil in
Philadelphia when congress was in session
and about to pass the declaration. The old
bellman went into the tower at the hour
that congress convened There were 10000
little boy at the foot to give. him the sig
nal if the declaration was adopted. Hour
after hour went by and the old man shook
his head and said: They will never do it.
a shout in the streets and the little blue
eyed boy came into sight clapping his hands
