cient coinage laws OF the republic. The fact
that % per cent OF the exchanges OF the world
we're transacted with checks and bills OF ex-
change proved that metallic coin. both gold
and silver. was inadequate 20 measure the
parity OF exchange. He continued:
What now shall be thought OF the man OF
the men who thirty years ago deliberately de-
stroyed one-haif OF the scant support upon

sThe secretary OF the treasury spoke TO you
IN this hall the other day. I don't want TO
| quote Mr. Carlisle when he said that the de-
monetlzation OF half the money In the world
meant misery and unhappiness for half the
people OF the world. Then John g. Carlisle
was the tribune OF the people; now he Is tho
| high priest OF tho temple OF Mnmmon. Mr.
Carlisle. the plebian. and Mr.. Carlisle the aris-
tce-at are two very different kinds OF penpie
| But don't want TO complain OF Mr. Carlisle
Every word he said about the characterization
| OF silver has come true.
Mr. Carlisle told you when he was here that
| the wages OF everybody had been increased
under recommendation about 81 per cent IL
| isn't that way In my country Fifty thousand
| coal miners IN ohio and Pennsylvania
had pine cents q bushel taken OF their
wages about tho day that Mr.. Carlisle
spoke TO you here In Memphis Why, they
tell you that wheat. out OF which 10 make
bread. was lower than 10 ever was. and yet
more people starved TO death FOR the lack OF
this iow-priced wheat than ever did before.
Tariff Has Nothing TO DO with It.

| greater army OF tramps walking up and down
our highways and our bywayssto-day In tattcrs
| and rags for tho lack OF this same
cheap cotton and wool They tell the farm
err down east that what he needs
90 make times better Is a higher protective
tariff In certain parts OF the west they tell
him what he needs 70 be prosperous Is free
trade You have 70 give this tariff question rs
q medicine according 70 locality. Now the fact
OF the mater Is the tariff has nothing
/ 10 do with monetary panics. and It's about
time the people gave IL q long-needed rest.
| and believe they are going 10 do f. There
| we're two monetary panics under high tariff
and two under q low tariff, and think this
shows tho tariff has nothing TO do with the

Pays His Respects to Mr.. cleveland.
THE president says he n afraid the silver
dollar win dopreciate, but tho only way the
dollar can deproclate Is for prices 70 rise.
This n equivalent 20 an admission by the
president that he Is afraid prices will rise.
II tho president would divide his
nnxioties moro equally between tho persons
who produce tho wealth OF the country and
the limited few who absorb IL. no would
make better chief executive The ma gnihcont
