You may open our minis to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver until the mine
owners OF the world, with the dollars
we coin, can build a pyramid whose apex
reaches TO the eternal stars, and when II is
builded and com pleted there Is not o.e man

dollar from that pile unless he has one
of labor, to give in exchange for it and
whenever Il man In this free country has
an opportunity to exchange his labor or
his products for money, he ought to insist
upon receiving In payment the best dollar
that the civilized world affords.

said:
GOV HASTINGS ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies ana Gentlemen:
The people of this country who are voters
| and are responsible for its future welfare.
have now come To the forks Of the road.
The sign boards are up and there is no
! mlsta king the way. The one points To
Bryan and free silver. and the other To
Mckinley and sound money.
Look for Il moment ut that which is now
proposed By the free silver party: First.
10 coin all the silver produced in this
country. free of cost To The owner. at the
ratio OF Is to 1. Second, to coin all the
| silver produced in all the other countries
OF the world. free OF cost to the owner. at
the ratio OF 6 to l; that the United States
| shall coin into dollars" quantity OF
silver which at present is worth So cents;
| that the silver owner shall take So cents
| worth Of silver to the United States minis
a nd have 1t coined into a dollar and that all
the people OF the United States. no matter
what their business or occupation. no mat
ter what the debt. either public or private,
shall be required to Use the SO cent dollars
there coined either to pay their own debts
or to be paid by their creditors.
WHAT FREE SILVER MEANS.
This means an abrogation of the policy
| maintained by the fathers for more than
three quarters OF the period Of our national
existence; it means the destruction of he
principle oil mainua ming The commercial
| value OF gold ana silver i'll our coins at Il
parity; ii means that the government Will
substitute for n dollar containing 100
cents 50 cents worth of silver. and Al
cents worth OF that which i no more vaiu-
able than wind; 1t means That the old
pathway upon which both parties have
Travelled for more than half Il century wlln-
out discOrd shall be Travelled DO longer;
That the principles laid down by Wash ing
| ton, Jefferson, Hamilton, Madison and
jackson are to be trampled under loot.
Here are the forks OF the road. Bryan
and Tiliman and Aitgeld are stopping at
every turn III their march to tell me people
| OF this country that their road leads to
| that haven where money can be earned
without nucn labor, where prosperity
comes without much Toll: where debts can
| he extinguished at 80 cents on the dollar:
where government bonds can be redeemed
| at half price, and where a warfare OF sec
| ton alisIn, an array of the poor against
| the rich, OF the employed against the en-
ployer, OF the discoDtentcd against the
thrifty, OF the loafcr against the lndu>trIous
citizen, will inure TO the general progress,
peace and advancement OF the country.
| Inere stiil are me FORKS VI the roau, and
there is the wcll-bcaten path Of eXpe-
rience. Illuminated by the wisdom of ma
thong and of centuries. and ut the head
| OF the column stands our der-McKinley
| Of Canton. Those who follow in his train
are no less lovers OF their country than
| those who left the column where the roads
| fork.
WHAT THE SIGNBoARDS CONTAIN.
The signhoards are up and ready for in
speCtion. NO invasion Of Illinois by Fed

'ulv. ME my pitchfork,'' says Tillman,
! THAT l may Cuhs,gn the Supreme Courl
of the United States to oblivion
! Come on, along this unit ried road"
says Mr.. Bryan, land when you stand with
me Oh top OF yonder mountain, l will
show you such possessions of silver and
such manipulation of its value, that, al
though l have Teen talking All tEe time.
the half has not yet been told: and whereas

Uncle Sam owns it all, nevertheless | will
make negotiation with the silver owners
that will relieve your distresses, insure
your prosperity, and at the same time be
