Mexico is the next largest producer OF
silver to the United States. In 1894 she
produced silver enough to coin GO, 000,-

In 1894 Mexico had in circulation
s55, O00, 600, but in 1895 only $50, 900, 900.
Free silver has not enriched Mexico.
She has coined since 1857 1891, 000,-
900, and keeps in use but $50, 600, 900.
In contrast. the United States has
coined since 1892 439, 900. 900 silver dol
lars, of which 423, 900. 900 are now in
the treasury vaults and the hands Of

Before leaving Mexico, where | have
large business relations in the purchase
of hemp, let me show you how the
SILVER STANDARD WORKS.
We buy hemp there for five and one
fourth cents a pound in silver, and aft
er all expenses and steamer freight to
Boston are paid. are able to sell to the
cordage manufacturers at three and
one-fourth cents. our money.
You have assembled here tonight to
consider together your welfare and the
best government for our country, so
soon to be decided by our votes. Mr..
Bryan said at the Coliseum at Chicago
on Wednesday, and I quite agree with
him, THE gold advocates ask the
American people to endorse the gold
standard at the ballot box. If it is
right, If it is good for the American
people. it ought to be endorsed. Moth
ing is too good for the American peO-
pie. and if the gold standard will be
good for us We
OUGHT TO HAVE IT.
If the gold standard will bring bless,
ings to our people, we ought to main
tain it. If it brings cursings, we ough,
to abandon it."
But we denounce the principles that
he declares as he Stands upon three
| platforms which agree in one thing.
and that is the gold standard ought to
be driven out of the United States and
that in its place ought t be substituted
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the legal ratio of Is TO J.,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation

plainly says hal the gold standard
should be driven out OF the United
States, and the coinage Of silver made
free as gold has always been.
Since the propounding of the law
based upon past experience OF coinage
300 years ago, by Sir Thomas Gresham,
there has been no departure from it. in
any country. Whenever it is attempt
ed to circulate debased coin with full
valued coin, all the latter will disap-
pear from circulation and the debased
coin alone remain to the
RUIN OF COMMERCE.
and business"
There is a maxim, two strings to
your bow" one to serve If the other
breaks. Suppose you should string
both at one time, the shorter one would
always do the work.
Mr.. Bryan always calls for free coin
age of gold and silver. but If he should
be elected and the minis were certain
ly to be opened to silver as soon as he
could get to running the government
l believe that we should Immediately
fall from our high place among the
leading nations of the world to the sill.

SO.

true. will not increase. Money In a
panic is hard to get hold of, when in

western and southern farmer, and ap-
peals to them to secure by free coinage
