1T gives me great pleasure to enter

friendly ground. and TO her people as
people OF congenial spirits. We are enter
ing upon a campaign which stirs mems
hearts. a campaign which is drawing out

have found some against Us. but every

where" tApplause)
After a statement OF his principles, he
said. There are principles which under
lie the money question Principles which
you must understand before you can en-
ter into the discussion of the money ques-
ton. and the first great principle is that
the value OF a dollar depends upon the
number OF dollars. You have TO learn
that scarce money means dear money. and
that you can change the purchasing power
OF a dollar whenever you change the num-
Der Of dollars. Our opponents dispute
some OF them. but no writer on political
economy will tell YOU that volume is inn
material.
Now. when the value OF the dollar de-
ponds on the number of dollars. how can
you raise the purchasing power of dol
lar? BY leg.slating some of the dollars
out Of existence. Let your demand for
none increase more rapidly than the
supply of money and dollars VIII rise in
their purchasing power. Dollars are the
creatures of law. No dollars can 30 into
circulation except through the channels
OF legislation. I know that there are
some people who say that The government
has nothing to DO with money, that money
exists independent or lesisa ton, but / re-
peat the assertion that there IS not a dol
lar in existence in this country today but
the dollar which finds its authority in the
BE II enacted Of the government. Cap
p,ause)
Now. my friends, l assert that when
the government prohibits the making OF a
dollar by an individual, then the govern
ment assumes the solemn duty OF Great
Ing enough dollars for the people to do
business with. CApplause.) You tell me
that the government ought TO keep the
individual from creating dollars for his
own use and then refuse to Great the dol
lars which he needs. My friends. that
doctrine mas not any support outside of
Wall street. (Applause) No man dares
TO defend that doctrine before conmu-
nifty like this, and yet the very people who
invoked the law of 1873 10 strike down
part Of the peoples money now deny the
right Of the people 10 invoke the law 20 re-
plenlsh the currency Of the nation"
