you farmers have prospered in basket
and store since We have been on . gold
basis! How many have seen the lines
of care raised - the wife grows oloes!
You know whether you are
better Off with ten or fifteen cent
cotton? Is some financial 90
cuckoo who never knew enough about
his own business TO accumulate . dol
lar and who is trying to run this gov
eminent in debt going to teach you!
l want TO tell M. Carlisle that the
producers Of this country could pay
his salary with
| 10000 POUNDS OF COTTON
in 1873. Now then il the products OF
the farm will buy Is much or more Of
everything to-day than in 1873, this
amount OF cotton ought to buy -
much of Mr.. Carlisle's services ~ it
would in 1873. But it will take
10000 POUNDS OF COTTON
to-day to pay the same salary that
10000 pounds paid in 1873. Mr.. Car
Isle, that is one thing that the pro-
ducts OF the farm will not buy n
much OF to-day as it would buy before
the crime Of ls73-your salary.
Ten thousand bushels Of wheat would
pay the salary of Abraham Lincoln As
President, but last year it took about
one hundred thousand bushels Of
wheat to pay the salary Of President
Cleveland.
"That man tCarlisle) can rea-
son from false premises like an
! archangel. He told the people Of
Memphis that, happily in this coun-
try, there is no debtor class.
Just read the history Of ...-
FARM AND HOME MORTGAGES az
and foreclosures if you want to hnd
! out whether this is debtor nation or
not; and then see if their interest is
| in keeping up the value of money.
He went to Bowling Green the next
day and warned the debtor class to be
careful how they alarmed the creditor
class. If this creditor class became
alarmed they might shut down
on them and destroy them. Oh, my
friends, this is the man in your exalt-
ed Office who can't be consistent for
more than "a hours at a time. God
Almighty help him. lApplause.]
! Joe Blackburn, of Kentucky. is help
ing to divide the Democracy and to
destroy those of his own household BY
schism and division rather than try
ing to unite them and weld them to-
gether for common cause.
| Mr.. Cleveland once had a horror of
public officers taking an active inter-
est in partisan politics and he has
turned out several men on that charge.
ALI is changed now.
| Mr.. Eckels is out speaking and some
church men are out. Hoax Smith IS
out and all the other "hoax" of the
country. Every one of the secretaries
is out on junketing tour at your ex-
pense. The secretary of the navy is
on a trip to fashionable resort on a
government boat. They are flying
high and when enjoying this they are
talking about the nations money-the
enormous debts &C. They want to
make you believe that
DOLLAR Is BIGGER THAN MAN.
Man created it to be his slave and to
minister to his comfort and to his
pleasure. They have made it hard
round yellow God and announce to you,
its creator, to fall down and worship
it; and if you belong to the Demo-
cratic household and do not worship
the furnaces are
BEING HEATED FOR YOU.
| GOabOut this Dead Sea of mOnOmet-
alism and you will find no fruit on its
shores that does not turn to dust and
ashes in the mouth of the eater, and
you go along the shore and watch its
waves as they play over it, and there
is not a wave of brotherhood OF
Christian sympathy in it's waters.
i With all these facts let me call your
attention to two or three things.
quote from Mathew Marshal the great
financial writer of the New York Sun
who advocates gold mOnometalism. He
says: Remember the philanthrOpic
women have petitioned the Legislature
to do something for the relief of the
hundred thousand women in New
York who work for forty cents a day
These ladies should know that in Chi.
ma and Japan, where prices of products
are no higher than here, many women
work for ten cents day. "rhat idea is 9
fruit.Of recommendation. The great gold.
bug Edward Atkinson, who knows
more things that amt SO than any
other man in the country, and whose
talent and shrewdness have ever been
in the employ of the goldbugs says he
has discovered q chemical compound
by which man can live on ten cents 9
day. That is the way they would have
US live under the gold standard.
A great Chicago banker made q
speech three or four months ago to 8
bankers meeting on "free silver" The
addresses of bankers on this question
are not made very public especially
when the address is to bankers. l was
asked after l had read it what
kI, l,A ~1 n k,.A
l would gladly pay for one
HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES
of it if they would print and distri
butte it. But this was just what they
| did not want. They don't want tn,
people to know the truth. He replied
!, We bankers must have no political,
affiliations. We must
ACT AS ONE NAN
Representing as we do the business in
terests, we must control; and though
4 you complain of falling prices, wan
to show you the truth. This declin,
in prices must come; you cannot avoi,
it. For sickness and death must COM
to the strongest constitutions"
Yes, this is the reason they wOul,
offer for the existence of national evil
and disasters. Edward Atkinson ha
. discovered that life can be maintaine'
;. at ten cents a day on a chemical com
pound; so l should not complain
any more" Living on "chem
