SAYS THEY ARE DEMAGOGUES.
"And yet when cur opponents come
before the people. to whom do they appeal
for votes? Do any OF tLtse Republican
speakers turn to the money changers and
appeal to item to vote the Republican
ticket" 1t is not necessary to waste
time ON them.
ITO whom do they appeal? To the ones
they think the least likely to vote the
Republi can ticket. They appeal to the
ones where they think it viii require the
most persuasion to get>tiem out. They
appeal TO the laboriDg men OF the United
States. They tell the latCTing n,an that
they are afraid that something il going
to happen to him. tLaughter.)
Nov, how can yon len whether these

crusade, and yet do not have the courage
to say gold when they talk, how do you
tell whether they are going to help the
laboring man or not? Judge the futureby

in the interest OF the latoring men. my
friends, these men who stand ut the head
OF the gold crusade. are the men who have
prevented the arbitration Of difficulties he
tween laborcrs and their employees They
are the men who have the formation OF
great trusts, have stiflcd completely and
have driven the small competitors out 81
business, and then preyed upon society
with no one to restrain them or make them
afraid. tCheers)
DID HE MEAN HANNA?
Are these the men who at this late
day are going TO turn around and chain
Iion laws for the special benefit and pro-
lection OF the laboring man? Show me a
man who has tried 10 break down labor

Now. my friends, The policy OF the
enemy Is 10 divide our Congress. Can Irish

the gold standard. tAppla ause.) Aud now
they appeal to the tailoring man TO come
with the money changers and help them
TO defeat the farmer, because he wants a
higher price for his product.
They want the laboring man to believe
that the free coinage OF silver is going to
hurt him. Ny friends, / would rather
risk the latoriug man to decide what is a
good thing for him than to leave his inter
ests in the hands of hiseneines. tApplause.i
''The laboring men know that they can
not separate themselves from the ti.!ers of
the soil. They know that there can he
no prosperity or happiness Ill this country
unless the farmer is selling what he PRO
duces for more than 1t cost him to produce
it. (Cheers.I
APOLOGIES FOR A JOKE.
They know that policy which decreases
the number Of tenants curses not only the
farmer but every one who earns his bread
by the sweat of his brow. And they know
thas the great toling masses have gos 10
stand together, or II 1 may use one of the
early Jokes, they have g. to hang together
or they will hang separately. tGreat
laughterD
Now, my friends. have suggested
these things for your consideration, and
want to submit few questions for you to
ask our opponents when you enter into
discussion with them, because conversions
are made through YOU. More people are
converted in these hand-tO-hand contests
than a re converted from the platform; and
want to commission you us missioDa res to
go into all the darkness around you ami To
bring converts into the light. applause
III man says he is in favor of gold
standard tell him that he is without Il
party in the United states. Tell him that
he cannot stand on any platform ever
written in this country. II he says he Is
opposed to a gold standard as in favor CT
blinctallism, ask him how much he is in
favor of bimetallism, ask him whether he
thinks the best way to get bimetallisIa is
to have a gold .andard. tLaughter)
And If he is willing to have bimetaIiism
ask him how long he is willing TO wait
for it
QUESTIONS FOR GOLD MEN.
IF he says he needs other nations to
help, ask him what other nations he
wants to help and what chance he thinks
there is of their helping, and ask him
whether he thinks a creditor country whose
managers, whose rulers, profit by the resto-
ration in the value of the dollar, are very
good people TO expect to come to help us
to stop the thing which is doing them
good.
ASK him what reason he has to think
that human nature is any different in a
foreign country from what it is here; and
ask him il he knows of anybody here trying
TO hurt himself just to help somebody else.
Laughter.)
'-II lie says that he does not think that
the nationis large enough to have a financial
policy of its own, ask him what he thinks
tn nation is large enough to have. Laugh
ter.D If he says that We are not able to
leg isiate for ouselves on the greatest qucs-
tion that can come before the people, ask
him what right we had any how to declare
our Independence hundred years ago.
More laughter.)
IF they tell you that they do not want q
ifty-three cent dollar. ask them IL they have
got any of those dollars to sell now for
nfty-three cents. Tell them that under
tree coinage the dollar will be the same;
as it is now, will be of the same weight and

egal tender better than it is today. because
while the silver dollar is a legal tender
