THE FARMERS HONESTY.
.~When ne appeals to the farmers he
takes the ground that they are all ras-
! calls. and what he has said about the
farmers is an insult to tine farmers, and
tn> faxu,ers Of Vermont and Maine have
| replied: and if the farmers OF these
states. with their soil, can be honest, 1
think a farmer in Illincds has no excuse
for being a rascal. / regard the far
| mers as honest men, and when the sun
shines and the rains fail and the trosts
| wait. they will pay their debts.
at want to tell you tonight that all
| the stories thsut have been told about
farmers being Popul1sts are not true.
| (Applause) You, Will find the Populists
| in the towns, in tAle great cities, TN the
villages. All the failures, no mater LOT
what reason, are on the Popuilst SIDE
They want to get rich by law. Ihey
are tired of working.
| .srh.n there is anotlM,r thing 1 want
20 ask these gentlemen. because OF an
| iro,1isitiye turn Of mif.d. II you can
make silver is to by law, when IN
| fact 1t Is 81 TO THAT Is, 1t taxes 10
ounces. according to them. 5 silver 70
be worth an ounce Of goid-now u
takes 81 ounces to be worth an ounce OF
gold. But they propose by law TO MAKE
IIs ounces Of silver the value Oh an
ounce of gold.
eff they can do that by law. wa'a' Is
the use OF wasting all that silver: l.
the can by law make it 16 to I. why hoI
| put another clause in and make II L -
II? And If they, by fiat, can ada
cents worth OF LAW ITO 81 cents worth OF
silver and make dollar, why not make
all fat. and use the silver fo- forks ana
spoons? a voice in the gallery: HOW
much is In the dollar now?)
IN a silver dollar? CThe voice;
'Yes.'D Four hundred and Twelve
grains standard. CThe voice: Tnao IS
16 to 1?'O That is Is to 1.
NOT FLAT, BUT PROMISE.
"Now, let me tell you-one OF our
dollars today, Is TO 1. is made equal VIII
gold. And how is it made equal with
goldo Because the government OF the
United States has promised to redeem
il in gold (Applause) If there was
only one grain of silver in a silver dol
lar, and our government promised TO
keep 1t on an equality with gold, =,
would be just as good as if there were
Az. The silver Of the United States to-
day, as coin, is worth between 81 cents
and 80 cents on the dollar and the mo
ment the promise of the government -
withdra VII, all the dollars Of the Unit
ed States coined of silver will be worth
81 cents apiece. The rest is promise, no
fat. but promise; and as long as We
believe the government is able, as tong
as we believe the government has the
honesty 10 redeem it's promise. that sill
yer viii be good. (Apphause)
Now there is another trouble A
promise to pay money is not money.
promise to pay money is like no1Hl-
nation for an office. and the fulhilrnen'
oe that promise is like the, election TO
that office, and on the 4th day OF NO
| vember even Bryan will know ne dif-
ference between promise and fui1llmen'

"I.et me tell you a little something
about the history Of our money, " nlcl
, people don't know or else they Iorset
. In 1892 we made in this country dou
BILE standard-gold and silver. AnC
, the ratio was fixed by Thomas Jef1er
, son and Alexander Hamilton, ana p1es
both said that they fixed the rat OF

, That ratio was 10 20 1. And We star,

silver
But the double standard has always
been hard to maintain. France has
changed the ratio more than 100 times
