My Friends and Fellow Citizens:
There are people who claim that Une!e
Sam is not able TO maintain our business
or our own financial system, and that we
must wait for an international agree
ment In 1873, when the free silver Coln-
age passed the house and was pending
in the senate, the claim was made that
whenever the silver question came up iol
solution the American people would De
ready to adopt a policy of its own W {
are told we are not able to accomplish
anything without the aid Of England ol
other European countries. The United
States is able to maintain its own imam
cial policy without waiting for the a'd
or consent of any other nations We re-
Gently had an international conference
ut Brussels Everybody was in favor Ct
Eimetallism but nobody seemed to i'e
able to devise a plan for that provision
III REMINDS O1t Nlltl people et9fA - -
wait and wait for an international agree
ment. of a criminal who is arraigned at
the bar Of justice and who is about tC
he tried and convicted for his crime, and
who files a motion supplemented with
false statements and falacious aftidlTits,
for a continuance. We propose to ie-
store to the people lne old system OF bl-
metallsm. with free coinage of both gold
and silver. Great applause) We intend
to oppose the selling OF bonds and bnf-
rowing Of money from Europe, and We IN
tend to open the American mints. and let
the people DIG from the earth the metal
from which to make their money. We
are for the American people.
My friends, the greeting we have had
on this journey is most marvellous At
every stopping place there has been an
uprising of the people, who have cheere('
lis on our way in a manner which makes
MS know that the masses are Interested
as they have never been before in the
politics Of this country. 1t shows mat
you have paid no attention to snb-
sidized gold press, and that You intend to
think for yourselves without being bossef
and that you intend to vote for sllvei
next November. | ask you to organize
silver clubs; organize in every town and
in every hamlet, and Pennsylvania Will
give a free silver majority in Novemf'ef
next" (Cireat applause.)
