INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 22-General Harri.
son arrived at his home in indianapolis
last night at 7:45. Leaving New Albany
at 10 o'clock in the morning, he made
eleven speeches before reaching Indian
apolis. There were notable gatherings at
Salem, Orleans, Bedford and Blooming
ton. At Salem he said in part:
"Mr. Bryan proposes TO abandon the
money system we have now and to intro
duce the free coinage Of silver. When a
change is proposed the first thing you
want to do Is to ascertain what the pres.
ent conditions are and then how thoy are
to be changed The present conditions
are that we are bimetallic country We
are coming both gold and silver as money
about 800 OO0,0 900 n silver and about
s6O0OO0,000 of gold and paper money,
based on and redeemable in coin. Every
silver dollar and every paper dollar is
maintained on an equality with gold.
You don't stop to look at IL; you don't
consult bank director further than to
SEQ whether it is genuine. II 1t is not
counterfeit it goes, and it goes for 100 cents
on the dollar, paper money, gold money or
silver money.
"The Democrats say that this is practi-
cally the gold standard, and so 1t Is, and
they say they want o double standard. A
standard is measure. You havea stand
ard bushel, standard peck standard
yardStick. They are measures, and just
so tho standard dollar is II measure. The
others are measures of quantity or length;
this measure Is measure Of value want
to know how you can maintain two stand
ards if they arc not of the same size or
length. Can you have two standard BUSH
els when one is only half as much as tho
other? Can you have two standard yard
sticks when one is only half as long as the
otherp You cannot maintain double
standard Of weight or measure or value
unless each one of them Is the equivalent
of the other.
1--WE are using silver now, but tho gov
eminent is buying the silver at the market
price; it is coming 1t on its own account;
it is making whatever profit there is in it
for the people; it is putting behind this
ment that it will maintain its equality
with the gold dollar. We limit the
amount that wo coin, and by limiting the
amount, by putting this governments
pledge hehnd it we can maintain II certain
amount Of silver at parity with gold, and
We are doing it now. Their proposition is
that we shall turn this all over to tho
mine owners; that this government shall
build its costly minis, equip them with
costly machinery, pay high salaries to
their assayers and mintcrS and coiners,
and that we shall put all this freely at the
service Of the men who own these silver
mines. A dollar like that, unsupported
by tho government, unlimited Ms to tho
amount Of coinage, cannot be maintained
at par
at is proposed that this great govern
nlent, with its bonds outstanding, held by
trust companies held by savings banksas
security and investment for the small
earnings of the widow and the orphan and
the wurkingmnn who has made his de-
poSit shall, instead OF paying ID one hum
drcd cent dollars, as promised, discharge
all these public obligations in fifty cont
dollars.
The people of this country love 1t;
thGy love its honor If they had not loved
1t, if they had not held its honor in price
