know as much as I do about that I
know experience is against it, but still
these men say that if you will adopt
the free coinage Of silver your stan
dards of value will not be disturbed,
but that you will still have the gold
standard of value, except it will be by
two yard sticks; the silver yard stick
and the gold yard stick will be of the
same length, but you will have the
same standard of prices.
But recollect that enterprise assumes
the capacity as the result of a. single
measure; as the result Of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. it assumes
that 49 cents Of additional value can
be given to the silver dollar. Now, 1
assert, as I have said before, that the
experience Of mankind is against it.
But the invitation is to make the ex-
pertinent. See what a
STUPENDOUs UNDERTAKING
it is. 1t is not enough to say we will
produce that change in values in this
country, because every gentleman here
and 1 am delighted to know that 1
am addressing an audience that are
familiar with the elements of this sub
ject-you know that you cannot make
a silver dollar in United States worth
more than the commercial value Of the
silver, and Mr.. Bryan comedies that
bullion will be advanced to $128 an
ounces 1t Is now worth Ga cents He
comedies the premises from which l
reason. He claims that free coinage
will advance the value of silver bullion
to S1.29 an ounce. So 1 say he admits
the premises. And you are invited to
enlist this country in an experiment
which, in order to make it successful,
you must make the silver Of all the
world equal to S1.29 an ounce, the coin
age value Of silver. You say is that
true? Why, yes. The Cincinnati En-
quirer said the other day that when
the United States determines that 371A
grains Of silver shall be a dollar, no
man in the world will sell Bin grains
Of silver for less than dollar. The
philosophy Of the thing is predicated
upon principles that you all under
advance silver in this country to 70
cents an ounce 1t would set all the
silver in the world in motion to supply
that demand. Like the wheat; there is
a scarcity Of wheat throughout the
world just now, and the wheat of the
world is put in motion in order to meet
that demand for consumption wherever
the demand exists.
If you were to advance silver bullion
in this country up to 70 cents, why,
the whole silver Of the world would
be put In motion in order to find this
better market And IL 1t should con-
tinue to advance 1t would still come,
and If silver ever reached a dollar and
twenty-nine an ounce, 1t would be the
result Of an advance Of silver In all the
world, because. as long as silver can be

OF the thing.

Of trU fnr 10
fifty years. (Applause)
Now, why do say that? Everybody
must agree that the experiment upon
which Mr.. Bryan and the free silver
men propose to enter Is a startling one.
So far as human experience goes, 1t
has been unsuccessful everywhere that
it has been tried. That is to say, as I
have mentioned before, that in all these
silver using countries, where they have
adopted the principle Of the free coin
age Of silver, with unlimited legal ten
der function, 1t has failed to advance
the silver dollar above or beyond the
commercial value Of the metal Of which
it Is composed.
What makes you believe that it is

ing my fellow citizens that / know feel
they are responsible to their wives, to
their children and to their country
and to their God for the honest exer-
else of their Judgment in the next cleo
ton. I ask you what reason have you
to suppose that 1T will succeed in this
country better than it has in all other
countries where the experiment has
been tried?
Mr. Bryan says that this Is a power
full country So it is. Our population is
today over 10000 900. This country has
q capacity for production that was
never surpassed in the history of any
people in the world. We consume an
enormous amount Of the products OF
our own industry as well as Of the in
dustry Of foreign countries. But will
that produce the result? 1t may.
I am now appealing to your expert
ence; the experience of mankind is the
other way. And it Is said-and the
most that can be said-is that this is
an experiment I don't pretend to say
that It is impossible, for the Lord

thing very well; that if we are defeated

We were nominated for a number Of

been so far Illustrated that when we

though 1 commanded during the war a
number of Michigan regiments, the re-
ceptton of Gen. Buckner was there so

the march Of the sound money patriots,
Roth were composed of patriots for
that matter the one representing q.
buried and the other a living issue.
Last nights demonstration was par
tfcipated in by over 10000 men. and
1t took an hour and three minutes for
the procession to pass the corner of
Sixth and st. Peter streets.
All classes and conditions were rep
resented. The millionaire joined arm
in arm with his most humble employe
and walked down the streets under the
gaze OF tens of thousands of people.
There were millionaires in that pro-
cession. There were men who draw
salaries nearly as large as that Of the
president Of the United States. Thew.
walked in fellowship beside the ST a,
day man, all representing a common
cause.
Sound money enthusiasm bubbled and
Sparkled like suddenly uncorked bot

ager down to engine wiper and car
cleaner presented an unbroken brigade
of over 5000 men by careful estimate.
The knights of the rail and the gen
eral office employees occupied a con-
spicuous place at the head Of the pro-
cession. Outside Of the University Of
Minnesota contingent they were the
noisiest and most enthusiastic Of the
marchers.
Between the hours of $40 and e:15
o'clock the streets presented a Won
derful picture. The, enthusiasm was
by no means confined to the marchers.
The influence of the Mckinley senti-
mert pervaded all the spectators and
outside Of few spasmodic Bryan
cheers, it was pre-emfnently q sound
money night.
The night taken as a whole, inc1ud-
ing both the magnificent parade and
the wildly enthusiastic Auditorium
meeting, was perhaps the first and the
best actual test Of the sound money
sentiment in ST. Paul during the cam
paign. No other political event OF the
past four months has brought 1t out
so clearly and Enthusiastically Old poll
ticianS and cool ca1culators who have
gone through the thing for many dec
AIDES say the parade of last night ex-
celled anything they had ever seen be-
fore for enthusiasm and patriotism.
There was no serious hitch In the
arrangements. The end Of the pro-
cessfon started on time and before the
echoes Of the Immense aerial bombs
had ceased reverberating against the
barren bluffs of the Misstsslpni Then
from somewhere up near Rice park
there came q blare Of trumpets and
the head Of the procession was in
movement.
Fer two hours previous the streets
had been packed with people. At
o'clock the different contingents COM
naenced to arrive from outlying wards
and suburbs and the town was full
of marching bodies. flaring torches and
bands of more Or less respectability.
Some OF them were very trombone,

from ST. Paul yesterday afternoon
and were given a reception at the West
hotel. They addressed a crowd of en-
thusiastic and cordial listeners at the
Exposition and later wound up with
speeches at the Lyceum theater.
The crowd which welcomed them at
the Exposition about half filled the
building and it remained interested un-
til they concluded their speeches. They
were followed by Congressman John F.
Irish, of California, who spoke for two
hours on the general issues Of the
campaign, pointing out why he, as a
Democrat, cannot support Bryan.
On the floor Of the hall was gathered
as representative an audience as has
gathered in Minneapolis. 1t included
number of those Democrats who val
ue their American citizenship above
partisanship, who will refuse to fol-
low their party when it would lead
them into course which would injure
their country. Among those who sat
with the general audience was John c.
Oswald, the old Democratic leader and
many others of his class.
Shortly after o'clock the speakers
arrived, escorted by F. G. Winston,
Louis X. Hull Judge A. Ueland Frank
B. Semple, George H. Partridge and
F. G. Corser, w. A. Lancaster and
others. The appearance of the white
hairs of old Gen. Palmer was a signal
for the outburst of cheers and right
royal was the welcome. 1t did not stop
until long after Gen. Palmer and Gen.
Buckner had taken their seats and
| again and again it was revived by D.
NJ. Chute, who kept asking: What are
we here for?" and urging forward the
welcoming hurrahs
The sight of the two old Democratic
leaders, both over seventy-five and both
admirably preserved, was one long to
be remembered. The hair of both is
silver white, but that is as near the
silver doctrine that either Of them gets,
except to attack it. Their venerable
appearance was one which excited al
most universal respect and considera-
ton, as was evidenced when some ill
| bred Populists attempted to interfere
with Gen. Palmer's speech, which the
! audience resented with threats to put
| the disturbers out.

property of others; and yet in your
minds. tonight you have valued every
thing you have got and you have
valued them with reference to the ex-
isting standard of prices. Now, the
proposition is on the part of those who
advocate the free coinage Of silver; the
proposition is that there shall be no
other standard Of value provided by
law.

most enthusiastic political demonstra-
ton ever witnessed in the Northwest
Underlying the noise and confusion
and holiday merriment, deep in the
hearts of all those thousands of voters
was the conviction that they were per-
forming an act Of true patriotism. Ev-
cry man in that army of torch-bearers
by his presence in the parade gave ex-
preston to the patriotic sentiment that
prompted the heroes CT 81 to respond
to their country's call.
AS in 81, SO last night, the appeal
to American manhood was made by a
Lincoln. Robert T. Lincoln, the orator,
aroused in his hearers the same SEN
timents that Abraham Lincoln, his
father, inspired in the breasts of the
patriots of thirty-1ve years ago.
Ten thousand men marched in the
ranks that were typical of honest gov
ernment. Seven thousand persons
crowded the Auditorium to cheer sound
money sentiments. Five thousand per-
sons struggled to hear the oratory Of
sound money speakers at Market hall.
Thousands of citizens viewed the pa
rade and cheered each banner borne in
the ranks.
The parade was the largest, the most
enthusiastic, the best managed in the
history Of st. Paul. The business men
of the city planned the demonstration
and contributed to it's success by their
presence, as well as by bearing the
expense Of preparation. The demon
stration was a rebuke to the croakers
who have all along declared that busi-
ness men are not patriots. 1t gave
denial to the assertion that it was O
Republican affair, for Democrats as
well as Republicans were in the ranks
and In the halls. The Auditorium meet
ing was more orderly, more representa-
tive Of the city's interest than the free
coinage gathering in the same hall two
weeks previous. The sentiments spoken
by the speakers last night were in
marked contrast to the utterances of
the orators Of two weeks ago. The
demonstration, the addresses were the
efforts Of patriots and not partisans.
In every cheer was the inspiration that
promises national safety, knell ring
In the deoadence of the craze that
threatens national honor. There can be
no doubt Of the fate Of Bryanism In
