a minority report.

Before the Chicago convention the sill

they know that when one end is up,
the other is down. then 1 can make a
silver speech. Now, it is just SO with
money and property. Whenever money
goes up, property goes down. That is
SO simple a proposition that anybody
VINO has money and wants it TO go up
can understand the advantage of a
gold standard. (LauGhter.) Why
didn't they demonetize gold instead of
silver? There are two reasons. In
the first place, there is larger portion
Of gold used in the arts. and therefore |
q less proportion available for coinage. !
Another thing, at that time the supply !
Of silver was increasing and, there |
fore, by demonetizing silver, they |
would have gold as the only money
that could repienish the currency of |
the world, and the supply was not suf- |
fcient to keep pace with the demand |
for money, so that dollars must rise |
in value. They did not declare for a
gold standard, but declared they were |
afraid the free coinage Of silver by |
this country alone would prevent in !
ternational binetallisn, towards which |
all the efforts of the country shall be
directed. But the majority ruled at
Chicago. Then what? Then their lead
ing men at Chicago organized another
and what did they do?
Did they adopt the platform they tried
to get adopted at Chicago? Oh, no.
When thev got down TO indianapolis
THEY THREW OFF THE MASK
and declared in favor of the gold
standard What does TINT mean? IT
means the attempt at Chicago to COM

who tried to get that sort of a plat

INIT when they acted at Chicago their
purpose was to deceive the American
people (AnriruSe)

Great applause.) The convention at
was held in the interest of
Republican success, and ii they had the
outrage, which ought to follow conVic-
