The speaker said ne was opposed TO

That its succc.s would precipitate q

In our own State it would necessarily
lead either TO an increase Of taxation
or TO retrenchment and ineflciency in
the management Of our charitable insti-

all the gold and result In silver mono
metalism. II would mean an inflated and
deprecated currency. 1t would put US
out OF touch I'm our commercial relations

The speaker said he believed with
Daniel Webster. that "he who tampers
with the currency robs labor of its
bread" and that free silver would bring
untold suffering and injustice TO that
large class OF our feIlow-citiz who
earn their daily bread by the sweat OF

WHAT SILVER WOULD DO.
II would carry want and privations to
the homes of our mechanics and raise
over the lintels Of their doors the red
flag Of the auctioneer, where now COM
fort and contentment nestle around the
family altar. The speaker said that
while he ascribed TO the masses the
same patriotic impulses which he claim
ed for himself. there were men carry
ing on this night for selfish ends who
were enemies 10 their race and traitors

He had an abiding fanh in the in
