way to get rich in this country is TO de-
preciate the qualit yof money we have,
and some people have gone so far as TO
say that il does not make any difference
about the quality of the money, so we
have the quantity. / think some OF the
men standing around me today. who
were across the river during the late
civil war, will remember that qualify had
very much 10 do with the value OF the
money and that while there was quanti-
ty in plenty, of a certain kind OF money,
the quality of it was so poor IL would
scarcely buy a breakfast. Cries OF

General Longstreet recently said IN
speech at Augusta, Ca: 1t was said OF
the Confederate money during the war
that a big hamper basket full or 1t was
sent 10 market for a basketball or sup
plies for the family. / remember the last
breakfast had in Richmond. before Gen
eral Lee pulled US away from there, was
a small steak, plain biscuit and warm
water that had faint suspicion OF coz
fee about il; and this sumptuouS repast
cost me exactly 500 in Confederate money

What we want in this country, my fel
fow citizens, no matter where we live. is
a good, honest dollar that has value IN
it. When we give our Ia Dor to our en-
ployer, when we give our eight or ten
hours work a day to the railway COM
pany. we have given them the best work
we have and we want in return dollars
that represent the value of the work we
give 10 those railroad companies. We
want no deprecia led dollars in the Unit
ed States We have had short hours
for the last three years and half. We
don't like them and don't want short
dollars.
'sThen there are some people who seem
to believe that the way to get on best is
| to have one body of our citizens arrayed
against another. 1 do not believe that.
believe we are all brothers, are all equal
under our constitution and flag and that
all of US have a right TO aspire 10 the
highest things that in free government
like ours gives. The most glorious thing
that history has demonstrated is that
the poorest and humblest boys, with
poor surroundings but with clean hands
and pure hearts, may reach the nigh
est place in the gift of the republic.

class of my fellow citizens against anoth
