bring about between the nations chiefly en-
gagged In the worlds commerce, q mutual
agreement In favor Of the establishment Of
Dimetalilsm. Considered from commercial
ana lndustrlal standpoint the United States
are freer by far in their movements than any
nation in Europe, and hence II the people Of
the United States should find it compatible
with their interests to take Independent action
In the direction of bimetallism I cannot but
DeneVe that such action would exert a most
sanitary influence upon the contamination of
International agreement and the coming into
this league of every European nation."s

venture to say that IL the drones could talk
and make speeches you could not distinguish
their speeches from the speeches made by
the heads Of those great trusts who call
everybody anarchists who do not believe with
them. tApplausel ! will venture that If
drone could talk and write and express
his ideas In language, that there is not a
member Of syndicate that has been beating
this government but who could take the
drone's speech and use it as his own, and
without being accused Of plagiarism.

You show me a head Of syndicate or a
trust and will show you a man that, when
ever his business interests become involved,
grows suddenly patriotic and tells you that
he loves his country too much to let any
body make more money out Of legislation
than he does. daughter and apDlause.)
will venture the assertion that not half
the men who are in favor OF a gold standard
can tell what 16 to l means. l would be
willing to place the average farmer against
the average banker and turn them loose to
discuss the monetary science and financial
history and the barker could not hold his
own with the farmer Why? Because the
financier thinks he knows so much that 1t
is not necessary to study. while the farmer
realizes that. he has got to study in order
to know about the question. (Applause.) The
inancier has been getting along so well that
he thinks 1t Is not necessary for him to
worry. but the farmer has been suffering so
much that he Is trying to find out what is
the matter.
