| Begin to talk free coinage aud the
gOldbugs begin to pirate about two yard
sticks Of different lengths with which
to measure values. We have found the
yard stick-the coinage yard stick
and 1t is now in my hand. Here the
speaker presented a silver dollar. This
dollar is

it was coined in 1795-it was coined
when George Washington was
President and Thomas Jetfer-
son was Secretary. 1t was coined
just three years after the first
coinage law was passed by the United
states Congress. | am now taking
you back to the landmarks of the Con-
stitutiOn. On this coin which | hold
in my hand is the word "liberty."
| How much this word must have meant
| to the patriots of the Revolution!
| With what tenacity did they cling to
that word Liberty! Yes, friends,
the men who fought through long
and bloody war for freedom from old
England are the men who
| PLACEDTHE WORD, LIBERTY,
on this coin. On the rim of this coin
| we find stamped: zone hundred cents
or uni." Now if there is a doubling
Thomas here let him come and see for
himself! (NO doubling ThOmas-nO
one came)
| "Here are other cOins-One bearing
date OF 1900 and one 1SOl-95 and "a
years old respectively. Now these
| witnesses-these coins were not made
for this occasion, but they are here as
unimpeachable witnesses, neverthe-
less. Friends, are we as free as the
patriots who made these witnesses
these dollars? Are we free when our
debts are growing larger and larger
and we are being crushed underneath
a load of mortgages because we have
not the ability to pay? No, man is
not free under such cOnditiOns--heis a
veritable slave! These dollars (hOld-
ing up some cOins) prove that silrer
and not gold is the unit of value.
The government was started in 1888
and it was not until 1919 that an act
to coin gold dollars was passed by
Congress. Thus you see that the sill
yer dOllar-the unit of value, was in
use sixty years before an act of Con-
gress to coin gold dollars. Here
in my hand is quarter dollar of gold
You see how tiny it is, do you think
the laborers of this country want such
coin as this to carry in their, old rag
ged breeches?
For ten years-frOm 1884 to 1884,
no man heard me make political
speech. And why? The newspapers
say that Guthrie is as unstable as

Cleveland and Carlisle sold bonds at s
great sacrifice not for love Of country
but for love Of self.
