prise Is inaugurated, from that very
time in that particular neighborhood
do all values increase and enhance.
The experience that we have had
with this advance herald of prosperity
that is to come to US from tho enhance
ment Of the value of silver has been
almost without exception the sharpest
commercial panic this country has
ever seen.
If that ia any evidence of the pros
perity that is to follow the consum-
nation of this act, really don't know
what Is TO become Of us--the business
outlook is SO very dark and SO very dis
astrous. Judging from the effect Of
the scare, in view of the idea that
this thing is possibility, should it
become reality the wiping out OF
values in this country would be some
thing Unprecedented, never before
heard OF in civilized community.
think there is no better indication
OF the fallacy of this silver programme
than the effect that it has already had
upon tae commercial, mercantile and
financial worlds
There is no reason why the United
States should become the dumping
ground for the silver CT all the world
any more than there is reason why
it should become the dumping ground
for the silver mine owners OF the
Western States. There is just as much
reason why the United States govern
ment should issue certificates upon
potatoes or wheat or corn as upon
silver, when they have to buy it and
store II in warehouses because OF their
inability to circulate it.
can hardly think that there Is
possibility of this calamity overtaking
us. have faith that the good Lord
who has SO wondrously guided this
Republic through so many dark and
bitter hours, will not desert US at this
time OF our trial-because / fully
realize that it is one OF the greatest
trials that this country has ever met.
urge upon the men Of Delaware to
perfect your organization, to enlist
each and every Sound Money Democrat
possible to support your ticket. that
you may make such demonstration at
this coming election that from this
time, heneeforth and forever, all such
failacies and heresies are forever
blotted out, as becoming matter of
conflict before the American people.
thank you for your attention.
[Great applause.
