The
INTERESTS OF THE SOLDIER
viii be safe in the hands of those who
are lighting as important a battle to-
day as they fought years ago. (Great
cheering) For, my friends, it is as
important that our nation shall not be
subjected to the dictation of any
foreign power, as it is that we shall
preserve 1t as a nation among our
selves Great applause.) In fact, 1
consider the young men of today who
are too young to have shown their love
OF country upon the battlefield, [ con-
slider them fortunate in having an OPP
portunity to prove not only their love
of country but their love of mankind
by beating off this invader from
abroad, this calamity imported TO
dominate and to destroy the prosperity
of our people. (Great cheering.) The
gold standard is not an American idea.
1t was never accepted b. our people;
it was brought into this country in the
dark and without discussion and has
never in a single campaign received
the endorsement of the voters of the
United States. (Cheers.) 1t has been
kept here by fraud and deception.
They have proposed issues and when
people have discussed issues and voted
on issues after the election was over,
they have got Into line for this gold
standard idea and taken another ster
which the people did not contemplate
IF you people believe that times are
as good as they could be; if you be-
.Iieve our present financial system is
good and ought to be continued; then
my friends, you ought to vote the Re-
publican ticket-but if you are DIS
satisfied with present conditions, II you
are dissatisfied with our present imam
cial policy. if you believe it can be I'M
proved, you have got to secure that I'M
provernent from those who want &c
change it, not from those VINO want u
keep it as it is.

ss-rbe RennbTican managers idea OF
circulation is to circulate large
amount of money just before electloI

perity. Oaughter.) My friends an
afraid the chairman of the Kepuollcal
national committee is the 1orefuilliei
of the advance agent of that
PECULIAR FORM OF PROSPERITY
that comes gust before an election tC
those who expect to make enough nov
to run them until the next campaign.
