want to ask you If you if they have not
as good right to judge of what is good

which have these things in their hands
now and want to keep them there. CAP
plause.) They say that we are arraying
one class of society against another. My
friends, if burglar comes to my house
/ have a right to call all my family up to
keep him out. Naughter.) And it does
not make me mad if, as he starts away
he turns around and shouts at me that l
am trying to array my family against
him. daughter and applause.) When
men array themselves against society,"
society has right to array itself
against them. When syndicates try TO
run this government the people who are
opposed to syndicates have a right to
array themselves against them, and no
abuse that their agents can heap upon
us, no names that they can call us, can
drive us from what we conceive to be
not only our right but our duty, to de-
fend our homes and our firesides against
the invasion. .(Great applause. The
success of the Chicago ticket is not dan
gerous to any man who wants to eat
the bread that he earns. The success of
the Chicago ticket is dangerous only to
the man who wants to eat the bread that
somebody else earns. Great applause.)
The principle that underlies this money
question Is q simple one. 1t is so simple
that there is not one person in this au-
dience who need be ignorant of it. There
is not one in this audience who is not
able to apply this money question to
himself and know how his interests are
affected. Some people ask, Why did
they demonetize silver? When did they
do it? Why, my friends, they demone-
tized it because they did not want so
much money in the world. Now you say,
Why did they not demonetize gold in
stead of silver? In the first place, a
large proportion of the annual product
of gold is used in the arts, and, tl:ave-
fore, less proportion of it is available
for coin.
And then, at the time the supply of sill
yer was increasing, and, therefore, by
demonetizing silver they would leave
gold as the only money that could re-
plenish the currency of the world, and,
as they knew that the supply of gold
available for coinage each year was
not sufficient to keep pace with the de-
mand for money, they knew that a gold
standard would simply mean that a dol
lar should greatly rise in value. 1 be-
lieve that that is what was behind the
demonetization of silver. But it was not
lyy,n 10, Ia
were manipulating the finances, and,
my friends, want you to remember that
the gold standard has never fought a
battle in an open field, and it is not fight
ing it this year. (Great applause) An
other thing: We are willing to fight
the Republican party on it's platform,
and we are willing to fight anybody who
opposes our position and will come out
and so state, and we will give to our op-
ponents who advocate what they be-
live all credit for honesty and SINGER
ity of purpose, but, my friends, when
a party, as did the party at Indianapolis,
puts up one man for the purpose Of
electing another we deny that these
men can be any more honest in their de-
sire for honest money than they were in
politics in the past. (Great applause)
The convention at Indianapolis was
held in the interest of the Republican
success. CThats rightly Had they
the courage to follow conviction they
would have indorsed Major Mckinley,
for whom they expect to vote. (Great
applauSe.)
