gruntled, the calamity shrlekers, each
man had a mildeWed countenance. Oh!
that was hodge-podge, jim-jam con-
yention.
You see the popuhst is cheese parer;
he wants to smoke fiye-cent cigars and
wastes ten cents worth of matches
in an endeavor to light it.
We come now to that convention of
patriotic men at Indianapolis. 1t is q
hard thing to tear away from party,
but these men were patriots, ! believe
that these men We're so earlsst that on
the third day of November they
will fire no blank cartridges, but will
come out and cast their vote for WILL
liam Mckinley.
Now, for the free silVerte, the orig
inal one; he is always trying to make
two trains pass on the same track,
trying to lift himself by his bootstraps.
He has undertaken the most difficult
task of his life. That is, to make fif-
ty-three cents a dollar
Daniel Webster, the statesman, the
greatest sage of this or any other land,
said that the debasing of the currency
is the surest way to fertilize the rich
mans land with the sweat of the poor
mans brow.
Now, what have the silver mine own
ers done for us? Who are these men?
How did they acquire this land? They
are mostly foreigners, who never saw
the mines they own. The land was
bought of the government at 50 per
acre Do you owe a set of men any
| thing who, when the house of repre-
| sentatives passed the emergency bill,
which would set every mill in this
broad land going, stood up and said,
You shall not pass this bill until you
| pass bill that will take our silver to
| the mtnts and coin it.
| The Bryanites say, We are going to
raise values by this process of free
| coinage of silver until the silver dollar
| will be on a parity with a gold dollar
| Well, we stand there now. Why shall
we go through Bryanism and revolu-
tion to get where we are now? But in
the same speech he says that the mon
| ey is too valuable now. If this dollar
| is too valuable, and Mr. Bryan wants
| cheap money, why not have a ten-cent
| dollar?
| Now, gentlemen if Mr.. Bryan was
| honest he would say, Bring us 100 cents
worth of silver and we will give you a
dollar.
| But I have been talking of 53-cent
| dollars, but it is a 511a-cent dollar now.
| 1t has fallen off TX cents since Bryan
began talking to 1t.
| The gold mines of the world and of
| this country are pouring out their
wealth with a lavishness unheard of in
| the history of the world But the Bry-
antics attempt to make the people
think that gold standard means the
elimination Of silver 1t means no such
thing. We have silver and paper as a
circulating medium, but we have the
! standard. But they sly the people
want silver. Well the people can have
silver if they want it, The fact is, that
| of the s429, 900 900 of silver coined but
| $50, 900, 900 is In circulation
! Contrast the two candidates-Bryan
| at the end of railroad train sowing
| discord, arraying one section against
another, crying out, "The masses
against the classes!" William McKin-
ley, the grand and noble man that he
is, quietly saying to the agitated peo-
| ple Peace! There are no classes in
this nation!" Compare the 1000 miles
Of words of Candidate Bryan as he flies
across the country to the manly and
lucid enunciations of the issues by Nc
Kinley to the thousands of delegates
who visit his home.
In conclusion, General Porter said
that he did not believe that the time
had yet come when this nation would
1 f1kn Saptjpna Iicn1 for tip1 1ier11
| blind partisanism for patriotism, god
lessness for religion, dynamite for law.
Congressman Sperry, who was loudly
called for at the close of General Por-
ter's address, made short speech,
thanking the audience for the express
sion of appreciation.
