 ernment. We ought to realize by this
 time that we should not do our work nor make our loans in Europe Let us place what options we have with our own capitalists and our orders with
 our own manufacturers, who in the
 past have behn always abundantly able to meet every need and demand of the government and of the people
 What We want in this country is a general resumption of business. We want the restoration of prosperity and confidence which we enjoyed before the change. Business at home will bring it and it will bring good money, too, in abundance, and neither will come in any other way. You will not restore active business and good wages by a policy which transplants any part of our established business to Europe. No matter what kind of a currency we have, it will not re5indle furnaces and employ idle men so long as we go abroad for our products which can be made at home because of the cheaper labor prevailing there. If we do our work at home our labor at home will be employed and the wages paid at home will be spent at home. This is the phil osophy of protection, and 1t cannot be abandoned, amended or abated.
 Protection means something to doi tt is the implacable foe to likeness at home. It made us the busiest nation ind the world with the best employed work ing people, It will restore confidence at home and improve our credit abroad.
 "Who has questioned the good faith of the government of the United States When did it ever fail to meet the high est requirements of national, state and ommercial integrity? Answer me thatl Its financial honor is without taint; it has always been above and beyond sus- piclon. The faith of the government cannot be prescribed by the language of the bond; it can neither be enhanced nor abated by the mere words of the contract Our national honor is far above the quibble of the debtor.
 Let us f1rsts of all preserve without | stain and high above suspicion the 1 credit of the government, as too sacred | even for party strife. Let us provide | in some patriotic way for the collec- tion of enough money annually to pay | all our current expenses. Let it be l enough to maintain with vigor our | navy anu OuI uIplOuldllC 5SINlCG anu ! abundantly support every branch of | the government at home without par or extravaganza. Let 1t be | enough to pay ample pensions to all disabled union soldiers and sailors and their widows orphans and depend ents whatever may come. What we want-what we must have is enough I money to run the government and it must be borne in mind constantly that we have the best government and high est Utilization to maintain of any gov and civilization of the world. We must forever that condition which l was stated in open senate few weeks ago when the assistant treasurer at New York, MT. Jordan, notified the government that he could not hold out for more than another day longer and that unless relief came this great gov ernment must suspend payment.
 My fellow citizens, the way to stop oans is to stop deficiencies. The re- serve is sure to be drained If you cut 1ff the supply. The outflow of gold will never trouble us when the the in low of gold is only large enough. Loans and deficiencies seem to be in- Ieparable from the democratic party md we should even remember that we cannot replenish the treasury of a gov ,rnment by impoverishing the people who sustain the government. Home is the key to and easy treas Try and high credit. The republican ,arty has never lowered the flag or the redft of the government, but has al- i ways exalted both and will ever contdn- le to do so.'
 United States Senator Platt of this tate was introduced and in the course f his speech said: "Whenever by any means a party omes into power that is not willing to , ake good care of the country, the peo- / le will put it out of power. When as- / ured of what is the best policy for the n ountry and for the welfare of it's peo- T le they may be relied upon to sup / ort and intrench the party that ad- ocates. Two years ago a party ob- Y aimed power upon promises the keep lg of which is now seen to be ruinous } our welfare. As soon as the people 2 iscovered this they determined to < emedy the disaster, and last fall did :. Il that they coudl to take from it the v over with which they had entrusted v {; now they are waiting impatiently v ,r 1896 to complete the work which V
 meet for repentance"
