There is no longer any occasion to debate that
question. President Harrison's administra-
ton left this country in state OF prosperity
and peace and progress, the like of which
Gods sun had never before shone upon. Cleve-
land, that man who to-day has been spit out
of the mouth of the Democracy went into
Office with thorough understanding even at
that time, that the people who had elected
him already distrusted him. There had been
Withdrawn from the circulation of the United
States between the day of his election and the
day he was inaugurated very nearly $50 OOO-
600. He was surrounded from the outset, not
with theories, but by a condition that might
well have taken all the adipose substance out
of his body and left him sitting shivering In
his bones.
/ The worst panic this Nation ever saw fol-
lowed the inauguration. of Grover Cleveland.
Credit was paralyzed; industry and enterprise
held their breath; capital retired; the smoke
from million engines ceased to pour out its
welcome to the skies. Doubt and fear para
lyzed even the thought. 1t has pretty nearly
ruined the country. They tampered with the
best tariff with some few exceptions that was
ever adopted by Congress and the Senate of the
United States and that was ever approved of
by the President of the United States. under
which tariff progress was great, industry met
with Its full reward, labor was happy and
there was peace and promise and prosperity
everywhere.
But with the doubt hat came as to what the
Democratic party was going to do with our
revenue system, with the promise that Cleye-
land had made to destroy the protection
theories and the protection laws of the Repub-
lie, with the conduct of the administration in
reference TO foreign affairs more pusilIanimous
and cowardly than was ever manifested by any
nation that ever had a soldier or was able to
shoot gun, the whole condition of things

began as 1t has continued, until few months
ago the American people waited with greater
anxiety to relegate Mr.. Cleveland to the OBJ
security in which ne properly belonged than
ever bridegroom waited tor the day of his
wedding.
Interrupt myself here for moment to say
to the Republican who is doubtful as to what
he will do: If by chance at the end of Presi-
dent Harrison's administration-nay, before
that-I had been exiled TO some distant coun-
try, where the ubiquitous American news
paper never psnetrates, where discussion on
public questions is never had, and had re-
turned to my native State and to my home
prepared to vote and only arrived here on the
day of election, not having had time to inves-
tlgate at length the impor tant questions,
would say to myself, If l were Republican,:
al have known this party for more than a
quarter OF century; have seen it fight Tor
the life of the Nation;I / saw it rise steadily,
step by step, though beset by au enemy in the
rear as well as by the enemy in the front, and
the Republican party was right. IApplause.] ]
remember the splendid craftsmanship that
was exhibited by the House of Representatives
and the Senate when those great measures of
reconstruction were taking possession of the
country, discovered and discontinued, and
brought it together with every stripe in the
flag and every star shining as sweetly and as
benefcently as the bright light OF Sirius. And
the Republican party was right.
saw it with its system of protection. which
brought the boundless blessings, not merely of
liberty, but of life and hope and joy, shining
and moving in every house, from the palace of
the rich to the humblest hut of the poorest
man that gained his Livelihood by the sweat of
his brow. The Republican party was right
then.

The first speaker was Senator Perkins,
who was received with burst of applause
that must have been highly gratifying to
him. He spoke briefly of the duty of the
citizens in this trying hour. "Four years
ago." said he, s'the people in their wisdom
thought it proper to make change, and
to-day nine-tenths of them believe that
they made mistake. On the Sd of next
November they are going to correct that
mistake" [Applause.]
General W. H. L. Barnes of San Fran
cisco followed with one Of the greatest
speeches of his life. He held his audience
close from the very first, and so keen was
the attention that not a syllable was lost.
The most impressive part of his address
was that in which he spoke of the mar
tyred Lincoln when a plaster bust of the
dead President was brought forward upon
the stage. The general spoke substan-
tally as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and w-Republicans--those
of you who are and those of you who may be /:
tLaughter.] The Presidential election this
year is test of the intelligence and the capac-
ity for selfgovernment of the American peo-
pie. Day dawns for us only when our party's
sun rises; night comes only when our party's
sun sets in defeat. This year is one in which
party lines appear to have been in a measure
broken down, not merely upon one side but
upon the other. and the people of this country
are about to exercise perhaps the most inde.
pendent choice npon the greatest question
that has ever been presented to them.
The American people have come to believe
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-09

as that. When it has met in National conven-
ton; when the best men of the party have
considered what is best, not for it, but for the
20, 600, 600 of people of the United States;
when that great Titan heart is beating, mine
shall beat in unison. know it is right,
whether think SO or not. as. 81
Fellow-citizens, the man who is going to
fight cannot always select his weapons or; the
location of the battle ground. He must meet
his enemy upon his own ground. If he cannot
defeat him by honest argument if he cannot
satisfy himself that the proposition for which
he is contending is right, he ought to be
beaten, but if, on the other hand, there is a
party which has cast aside all the traditions.
not merely of its own party, but the lesson
that finance has ever taught the world, that
has made bid for anarchists, for socialists,
for 'Populists and every other fad that was
gathered together by long-haired men or
short-haired women, it ought to be beat.
The general then plunged into the
depths of an argument against the free
coinage proposition.
In 1892, when'th ratio of silver to gold
was fixed at Is to /, all the gold left the
country by the operation of agreat natural
law, which took it out as much as If the
country had been swept with search
warrant to take it out of the Nation. Presi-
dent Jefferson, with Madison as his Secre-
tary of State, ordered that no more silver
dollars should be coined.
From that time up to 1886 there was not
q single silver dollar in the whole United
States of America. They had gone out,
because the ratio at which it was made
made it equal to gold, and the American
dollar went out of existence, its place be-
ing filled by the Spanish dollar and the
French five-franc piece.
