p,ause) because a dear dollar is simply
- proof of cheap property. \ dollar
cannot buy more unless property sells for
less. If you ,aink YOU have hard
time wha- would /. be if these same
inhus nces succeeded in driving India 20
a sold standard. if they should succeed
in suspending The free coinage OF silver
IN India. Wait until they make gold
tle standard of India. Wait until those
2oOCOO,OOO o. peOple there reach cut for
Sheir s15re OF The worlds supply Of gold.
Nhere VIII ;hsy geC il? They will get
from the nations who now

nave driven China 10 a gold standard.
anu ner 55O,OO.0JO Of people demand their

Where VII they get II? From the na-
tens Whch now have it. and they will

Wait until they have driven Japan and
Sou,h America and all the other silver
using nations 10 a gold standard, and
Tn what? Then YOU have a little
chunk Of gold twenty-five feet each
way when melted INTO a cube. and that
little Chunk Of gold will measure all cf

is wh1, the god standard means. Sup
pose the P5cple of this city should derive
their water supply from one great spring
and tha, one spring was controlled by
on person, or a few persons who acted
i'm concert. What would be the result?
No matter how hard times might be for
all the rest Of the people, those who
own that spring and furnish that water
at what price they pleased would al
ways set along tolerably well in this
world. (Applause)
I believe that illustrates Just what

/ Of geld continues 10 its legitimate, is
. natural IT'S iCgical conclusion. IL viii

Will De able TO dictate 10 the rest: il will
simply mean that while the people are

e-s OF wood and drawers Of water for
those who control the money supply Of
/ the world (Applause,) Do you say
th2t this Is a remote contingency? No,
uy friends. = Is not q remote cOntin-
. geUcy. Il is the natural result Of the
