said he. that congress would have restor-
ed silver. but the enemy was always ~
the whitehouse. The bankers, the money
holders, corporate interests OF almost ap-
pallng power will fight to keep SILVER de-

the people and the government get toselheT
and all the financial power of the worid
cannot stand in their way. The united
States can maintain it's money at the ratio
of is to /, even though for several year
adverse influences cast every obstacle III
the way. The enemies of silver VIII ma
ly submit when they see that the people
have the nerve to take action ana the VIII
to stand by IT,"
The speech was SO strong and it's ar
guments SO well knit together, that ~
must have a powerful influence, not IN
Mississippi alone. but throughout the union.
The Great Chief Is Satisfied.
There lives in Mississippi no more con-
tented man than Senator a. j. AcLaur.n.
The voice of the people is Enthusiastically
for him that lis nomination is now as
sured. When l found him in a north Ms
sssippi town he had just heard that his
only free-silver rival. Speaker Vardaman.
had retired. thus taking the only element
of chance out of the way.
II cannot but appreciate the confidence
the people of Mississippi have shown
toward me-" sad the senator, but / fully
realize that 1t Is the cause that l represent
that has aroused them TO the almost
unanimous work in which they are now
engaged.
These people," he continued, ARE in
favor OF the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 10 TO /. There are
other issues which might be discussed, but
this one. involving the question Of exist
ence itself, has been given the forefront.
j cannot explain my own standing better
than by repeating what L have already de-
cared 20 the people Of MISSISSIPPI, that L
believe in the unlimited cu.nage OF silver
at the ratio of 10 TO /. and that IL should
h.a AZ kFff hon W. lf.nElf
agreement. Indeed, 1 do not believe tnit
is is possible to secure International agree
ment for the coinage of silver until TINS
country takes the lead and acts .ndepend,
emily. No nation opposed to silver Wall
consent to lis use as long as We make
its use dependent upon such consent. IL Is
not the part Of sJateSmdnshlp or sound
business principles for a country as great
as ours to subordinate our monetary sys-
TEN to the domination or policy OF any
foreign country. We nave tired the pohcy
of subordinate ana found II wanting.
Its bllghting effect IS TOO apparent 10 ADMIT
of discussion. The reason Is obvious. Inc
destruction of one-half of the money OF
the country necessarily enhances the value
OF the other half and teprec 2tes all otner
property. The increase Of the volume or
money does not correspond with the IN
crease of population and business, ana;
hence, there IS = constant appreciation OF
money and depreciation of other property.
Men will not invest Eppreclat.ng money
in depTeG;iansf P[ope percy SI ien5ers safe
security for loaned money; and. therefore,
the money IS boarded and very little OF IL
finds its way into circulation. Money thus
boarded is worth no more TO the business
of the country than II II did not eN St
The unlimited coinage or SILVER would give
to the business Of the country an adequate
supply OF money; business would revive
invest rnents would he made and the neces-
sary volume of money would De put INTO
circulation. =,
the Constitution is doing great work
for the common people OF the country;
seid Senator McLaurin IN conclusion. IN
advocating that policy which would make
agriculture and labor prosperous
TELL your people that there Is no doubt
about mississippi" =. J: MORAN.
