Jugglcrs with the National Credit.
 CHAUNCEY DEPEW.


 Bryan and Sewall and Watson pro claim a revolution. These jugglers with the national faith and national credit. with business and prosperity. with labor and employment. are recklessly endeav- bring to precipitate one of those crises in which capital and labor and homes and wages are inextricably involved. The right of revolution is divine, but it must have supreme justification. Under our constitutions and institutions and laws as they exist there is before us in the promises of the POpulistic leaders nothing but an invitation to embark upon that sea of rcpudiation and disbon- or which has wrecked every nation and every people that ever embarked upon it. This revolution promises to destroy the Supreme court, to prevent the issue of bonds and the use of the credit of the country for any purpose, to debase the currency. to issue. if need bc. ire deemable paper and fiat money. and to destroy the validity and the invioiabAity of contracts between individuals. It proposes to seize the railways and the tclcgraphs, to enter upon vasue and vast system of paternal government and to destroy those clements of American liberty by which the government governs least and the individual has unlimited opportunity for industrial business, pro- fcssional and political honors and emolu- mcnts.
 "No one has ever doubted the wis dom of the fathers of our republic A century of experiment has abundantly and overwhelmingly justified their fore sight, statesmanship and patriotism They saw the horrors of the French revolution. and they made up their minds to guard their country against the ex- cesses of temporary madness. They created the executive and the legislative branches of the government and made them subject to frequent submission to the will and judgment of the people, but they enacted a written constitution un- der which the executive and the legisla- tive branches must act. and then they created that new feature of government, that palladium of the rights of the peo- pie and the permancnce of our institu- tons. an independent judiciary. court which could say to a wild Congress: You have Overleaped the boundaries of the constitution and you must bring yourselves within it's limits They knew from the precedents of liberty behind them that the judiciary can always be trusted. There are two places under our constitution where neither wealth nor power gives aay advantage to the individual where the richest and the poorest, the most exalted and the hum- hiost stand on the same plane: one is the ballot box and the other the court And yet this Democratic and Populistic al- liancc proposes to destroy this ma jestic tribunal and make it simply the echo of the party caucus which controls Congress this year and ray be driven into ob- scurity next"

Effect of Imitation. SENATOR LODGE.

We'll, it is easy to mark up prices. A man can go over his stock of goods in the morning and mark them up with a blue pencil; but you cannot go over the salaries and the wages of this country with blue pencil in the morning and mark them up.
 During our war, when we had an in- flated currency and prices rose, the aver age price of commodities rose 80 per cent; labor rose about 40 per cent There was net loss to labor of about 50 per cent, net reduction of wages to that extent. Labor always, in case of q appreciated currency, lags behind oth- CT prices. It is inevitable; all history and all experience shows it. They tried it in France in the last century; they tried the imitation of the currency to the last extent. You read the history of that period you find in the debates of the French convention at the time of the Revolution-which resembled good deal, in many respects, the convention at Chicago-you find it constantly said: "We are so great; France is so powerful, so civilized, so free, that she can raise the price of money, she can maintain any system she wants" And they issued the assignats based on the public land: there was land behind them all; they were not merely irredeemable paper;
The Coconino weekly sun., 1896-10-22

lutions, who represents neither the old heroic South of Lee and Gordon and Buckner and Hampton, nor the new South of enterprise and energy and activ- ity and increasing manufacture, stood up in the Chicago convention and pro claimed Il new sectional issue, the South and the West against the North and the East. A new sectional issue between the North and the South! Why, God forbid! !! Illinois sent out the flower of her man. hood to the nations battlefield under Grant and Logan and Oglesby and Pal lm- CT to put an end to sectionalism be- tween the North and the South forever. Illinois gave Lincoln to the restoration of the Union, that in his hallowed mem- ory the hearts of all the people might grow together in close and lasting friend ship. My father went out under Wis consin's flag. and gave his life that there should be and should remain a united people. l have crossed the old Mason and Diyon's line. Two weeks ago l went from Washington to Richmond in four hours-it took some of you four years 10 make the same journey. l have claspcd in right good fellowship the hands of the men who fought upon the other side. The heroes of that great war-South and North-will never again enlist in another sectional strife.
 IL uOPs nOI matter WDetNcr tne hHlcrl- can cradle is rocked to the music of Yankee Doodle or the lullaby of Dixie if the flag of the nation is displayed above it: and the American baby can be safely trusted to pull about the floor the rusty scabbard and the battered canteen, whether the inheritance be from bluc or gray, If, from the breast of true moth CT and the lips of brave father, it's little soul is filled with the glory of the Amcri- can constellation. 4 new issue between the West and the East! why. God for bid! l am a part of that mighty West. 1 know it's brave, enterprising. pioneer people. l have seen them rescue the wilderness and convert it into n garden. They have been greatly aided by the as- sistance of the East. by the use of money which represents the accumulated say ings of two centuries and a half of East ern thrift. The great West cannot live and thrive without the cordial co-oDera- ton and support of the strong East. and the East cannot live and grow and thrive as it ought and should without the cor dial cooperation. friendship and support of the mighty West. United, we are Il nation powerful for the welfare of all sections; divided. we are at the begin ming of the downfall of the republic. Nebraska put one star in the azure of the flag, and Illinois put another. but when they took their places in the flag they were no longer the stars of Illinois and Nebraska, but the stars of the great est nation of the earth, shining for the welfare and protection of every section and all the people.
