my Swedish OF Norwegian friends be
Yankees' daughter. It is just as rea-
sonable question. just exactly, as to say
that because the Mexican, the Chinese.
and Japanese, have silver money and are
on 9 silver basis,is the reason that they oc-
cupy the plane Of civilization that they
do. Why, it IS SO absurd.
They say you will have silver basis
and Mexican wages. Well, the absurdity
OF it, in the first place, I have not time
to go into tonight. But, my friends. we
propose to have gold and silver basis.
(Cries of Good. y But, my friends, Jap
an came very near being on gold basis.
England said to her: Mistress of the
seas Of the new world (she put it very
blandly), sif you will adopt the gold
standard we will give you tour hundred
million pounds Japan thanked her very
much, as the old Scotch man said, but she
wouldn't have the favor. If Japan had
accepted the single gold standard, would
q single Jap today have better wages
than he has now2 Answer if you can.
Such arguments make me weary. Laugh
ter.
''Why, gentlemen, these men talk to
us as though the capitalist had big box
full OF money that he earned .of sheer
humanity, to draw out large rolls to scat
ter to labor. Is that our experienced Not
at all. Think that labor earns the wag-
es that it gets. (Applause.)
Qs'That mas been my experience. When
you come down to the real business of
the world there is not much charity.
There cannot be. Business has got to be
carried on on business principles. I have
been interested in farming. nm not a
farmer. It is much more Pr. able to
farm the farmers than to farm yourself.
Laughter.) But have been interested
in farming; that is the only industry I
have had any experience in. I have found
that wages must of necessity be pai6 out
of the product. No capitalist can carry
on all enterprise long and pay wages out
of his cash box. Wages are paid out of
the production of labor, out of the result
of labor. If the labor is productive, as
the American labor is, thank God, with
the aid of intelligence and machinery
there is room for wages. Enough is pro-
duced to give capital return and to give
the wage Garner fair share, perhaps not
always as fair as it might be, but times
will adjust. Look at the Mexican pro-
ductions; grinding corn in hollow
stone with hand pestle. How much
product is there to pay wages out of?
Contrast it with the single man of the
Washburn- Crosby or Pillsbury mill

''Ladies and gentlemen, 1 feel like
apologizing for taking up so much of
your time. | will not go on on this oc-
casion aLy longer. but want say to
you of those who have been in this cause

that only. (Applause.) know Bryan.

Gentlemen, they tell us that we are
not organized, that we have no money,
that we cannot win. Well, perhaps we
can't, but, gentlemen, we have volun-
teers in our cause who will co operate
with us without being paid in advance
on the gold standard. Laughter and
applause. The heart of the people is
with us, and in every American contest
where there has been hired Of soldiery
on the one side and volunteers on the
other, the volunteers, whether the battle
has been mental or physical, have won.
