''The Republican party profess to con-
means a continual issue of bonds, n con-
tinual decrease in the volume of the cur
rency, and that you may understand what
others have said OH this subject l want
TO quote you what your own townsman,
who became one of the great statesmen
of this country, once said in,regard to the
effect of contracting currency. The
speech can be found in volume 2, part 1,
page of the Congressional Record of the
Forty-third Congress- He said: Mr..
President: An abundance of money,
plenty of money, does produce enterprise,
prosperity, and progress; there is no sort
of doubt about that
Snow l put aside those old theories,
my friend, Senator Schurz, can bring
from the books. If he has brought author
lty in favor of the contracting of our cur
rency one half of it's present volume ]
know he can do that. But after he has
stated all these common places of the
books, these. platitudes of finance, there
Is no vitality in them / prefer to take
the actual results and the actual condi-
ton of the country and let theories 90 to
the dogs There is no more vitality in
their theories us applied to the conditions
of our country now than there is in petri-
fled snakes. Let us take things as we
have seen them pass under our eyes for
v
actual condition of the country.
Senator Morgan was declaring against
the policy OF contraction and we to-day
are declaring against the same policy of
contraction. He was assei ting that an
increase i'll the supply OF money would
bring prosperity and progress and enter
prise and we assert the same thing to-
day. We assert that an increase in the
supply of money will destroy the grinding
conditions under which we have suffered
for the past few years and The position
which we take must be approved by my
one present who will study the money
question without putting before his eyes
enough gold coin to blind himself from
the proof"
