remember that in all their contests,
thaa i'm all their efforts to better their
conditions, they have had to rely not
upon the Wall street fnanciers, not upo'

endurance. l want TO warn you ing
men that the farmer can stand the gold
standard longer than the laboTingm3n
can. applause and cheers) You may
continue your gold standard until you
forec.ose the mortgage on the farmers
farm, but when that mortgage is closed
The man who buys in the farm will not
work it himself He will want a tenant.
and The farmer can become a tenant On
the farm. When the farmer
CEASES TO BE A HOME OWNER
he can still live as a tenant and he can
make enough OF the farm 10 feed his
family, ard if necessary We can go back
10 the old times before, and the wives
and daughters will make the clothes for
the husband and sons. The farmer can
burn his corn for fuel when he cannot
buy coal. but the miner cannot eat coal
when he fails TO buy wheat. applause
ana cheers) I say, my friends. that in
"a C3ntes, OF endurance the farmer will
be the last 90 perish. because he was
the frs. when the species Of civilization
began. But there is no need for ties,
cs endurance. The principles, the poi
.cies that are good for the farmer. are
good for the labOring man, and they
ought 10 stand side by side and Shou,-
der TO shoulder in restoring this gov
ernment 20 It's old foundation where .t
viii guarantee equal rights 70 all and
give special privileges 10 none.
want 20 caution the l9bOring man
against another thing. You will find
that our opponents are fighting their
battle under a false pretense. They
nO- only refuse 20 elaborate a financial
system. but they use ambiguous phrases
when they attempt 70 speak upon the
money question. Go into their parades,
.ook az their mottOs and YOU will find
such phrases as sound money and
"an honest dollar" whereas II they
were as honest as they say they want
their money 20 be- they would use Ian
guage that people wouN understand.
lApp.ause and cheers) Ny friends,
when I find a man who always talks
about honest money and then deals dis
honestly with the people. I wonder how
he can expect people 10 trust his hon
esty in one direction when
He ADMITS HIS DISHONESTY
.n another direction. I am afraid that
.la gold bug is a little Ike Peter Cart
wright. Some one asked him whether
he was sanctihed and he said: Yes, in
spots" and so with our gold bug
friends. their honesty seems to be in
spots. They talk about an honest dO,-
/ lar. and vet if they had confidence in
the plans which they would advocate,
they would take the American people
snt0 their confidence and say openly
and plainly what kind OF a financial
system they desired I want you 10
remember that large part Of the oppo-
s,tiOn comes from other p.anks be-
sides the silver plank Our arbitration
plank has aroused more opposition
among the corporations than our silver
plank has. and yet so just is the prin-
ciple of arbitration that no one in this
campaign has dared TO attack it. Not
only the arbitration plank, but our
plank against government by lnjunc-
ton has done more 10 arouse the OppO-
siri0n OF the corporations than has our
silver plank. But. my friends, instead
OF openly denOuncing the Senate bill
which We endorse. instead or openly
derOuncing our proposition 10 give
-~ial bv Jury i'm certain contempt cases,
they go out and call us anarchists. with
bur daring 10 meet the propositions We
advance. Bur. my friends. l am warned
+ha+ nv time here is up and that | must
90 70 another meeting. l feel that in
-bis state where our candidate for Gov
ernor is so ably presenting and defend
THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED
IN -5is campaign and so cOnvincingly
presenting the paramount issue OF the
money oues-ion. il is scarcely necessary
-b7t any one else shall say a word. Be
c3use of an those who are to-day de-
Tending tine money of the Constitution
there are none who are doing il more
ab'v or with more emphasis than John
=. Altgsld.
Now. my friends. make your ballots
mean exactly what YOU want in legisla-
ton. and we shall be content whatever
may be The result am willing to sub
INIT any question TO the decision OF the
American people and that is the reason
why I am so much opposed to the Re
prblic3r party which wants to submit
sh. money question 70 the decision Oh
foreign nations.
