kng 70 the '.cxar Of the house, the Inns
Drovements the people or stockton would
b. apt TO ask for al the coming session ~
congress-. and he seemed pleased To mite
that the improvement would be effective.
A short drive through the city followed
ths steamer ride.
when Mr. Reed Was introduced by Judeo
Anesl Smith. who was called to act A.
chairman OF the meeting. The conGTN1R~
mar SAW at once that he could not talk
TO that vast throng, and h1 had to oE3<n
with an apology for his inability TO mako
himself heard. He said he had found Grhak
audiences every xiaere this yHar and His
went into an explanation OF the money
question and devoted his TINE TO that ~
sue talking fhrer-quarfers Of an hour, In
which ne stousiy maintained the Roid
standard. lie declared that silver WAS De-
monetlxed asway back in 1884. hut this
country had seen nurh prosperity since
then and would see more OF It. What the
West wants. he said, II capital. and nos
more money. We want capital to Develop
the wonderful resources of this great sFsf-
pre-. The business Of this country Is dono
on the confidence OF the people. Mr.. Reed
sait-ronffdence IN themselves and con-s
ifdence IN the government.
He used his old illustration of the sale
os house for 100 70 show the stability
OF gold. H one sells honSe for that sun1
and gets the pay In gold, governnents may
rise and fall. but so long ~ the seller
keeps iais money ne has the fun value ok
his house at all times. But that S5,ag0 II
bulky and Substitutes for IL are found IN
checks. which ear be uset to the exteue
of the confidence OF the community That
confidence varies. In fsge befors the Ae-
pgSoiicans made 4 little mistake. his ches.k
drawn In Maine on San FraErNro satik
would be paid la Maine, but after tho
panic came IL had TO be sent out 10 San
Francisco before the money would -
paid. So the whole business Of the cosintrE
rests on confidence We should be =
country OF borrowers. AMI then we wost3d
Be prosperous. Times are good when ~
can BORROW money. for then people have
confidence TN the stability OF things and
there ls activity III arcssnd. The borrnw-
ing power depends on the confidencs and
IRIS honesty Of the people,
Referring 10 the rhargs that we cMn get
