/ What Is the Matter.
| '"They say u great many working
men ,areinot employed and perhaps free
silver will help them. What is the tron-
die with the country to-day that so
many men arc out OF iemployment?A Are
| they not willing to work? Oh, yes. Is
there, no chp!tak no property, no goods.
no tools. no machinery to be worked
with? Oh, yes, Railroads are half Idle.
machine shops are IDLE, factories stand
still, yet there Is abundant capital. there
y a great army Of labor unemployed,
though willing to work; on the other
side literally hundreds of millions OF
capital equally idle and willing and
anxious to be employed, but these
forces stand apart and cannot come
together. What Is the matter2 II la
Dor on the one side could come for
ward and Offer Its hand and capital on
1 the other grasp 1t by the hand and the
TWO march forward together. how soon
this country would prosper as 1t never
prospered before. What is keeping
them apart? What can bring them to-
getlrer? There IL one way OF bringing
them together, that IS exercised pretty
| literally In this country now. What do
you think OF It? They can call each
other names, they can excite suspicion,
dlstrust, hatred, passion, anger strife
between these two great opposing
forces, so anxious and willing to come
together and held apart. Is that good
way to bring capital and labor togeth-
err? l think. not. Now what Is necess
sary? One thing that Is necessary, my
friends, Is to have this money Ques-
lion settled upon an everlasting basis
and to do that we must settle It upon n
basis OF truth and honesty. (Applause.)

Capital Can Walt. 80 ~ NIX,
i That is the whole relation; f'this mon
ey;question to the laboring men who are
not employed and to the capital that Is
not employed. We have no basis ye, to
do business on. and until we get that
basis settled as firmly as these eyerlast-
1ngShills up and down this Valley. there
i VIII be no prosperity In this country.
CApplause.) & But, my fellow citizens
there Is just this lamcntable difference
between that laborlng man and that
man whom l suppose to be n capitalist
The capitalist can sit in his chair nnd
hold on to his capital and walt until
times change. losing simply the Interest,
but his $4,000 at the end OF the year. or
two years, or. ten years, Ia worth lust as
much as It'll to-day, and his loss il sim
Dly-the Interest. which as yet Is not his. (
4 How Is 1t with my friend. The laborInr
man? His labor Is his capital. and as the
sun rises every morning fresh days
capital Is born to him. II he employs 1t
and gets paid for It when the sun Is set,
he has realized that capital; but IL the
A sun goes down upon a day OF idlencss
