The same atmosphere enwrapped this
continent; the same soil covered the fields;
the same sun shone in heaven, and yet
there was none but the savage pursuing
the pathway of war through the trackless
forests, and the river bore no single living
thing except the Indian in mis- canoe pur-
suing pathway of destruction. There
was no industrial cooperation because the
Indian was a savage and did not under
stand the principles by which men aid each
other in taking from the bosom of the
earth the wealth which makes life bearible
and develops the intelligence VIII CHI makes
civilization. Anything that attacks that
basis Of human confidence is a crime
against civil cation and blow against the
foundations of social order.
Wherever you find popuiists assembled
you will find discussion proceeding upon
the theory that men are hostile to each
of life is one of contest. At Chicago Mr..
Bryan declared:
.'When you come before us and tell US
that we shall disturb your business irter-
ests, We reply that you have disturbed cur
business interests" "a voice, He was
right.'O
"My friend, when a man loses all sense
he has right to defy those that possess
any" Naughter.)

extreme will always be selected for a

this gathering to the character Of that
speech. to the underlying spirit that per

civilized society is one of warfare and
strife.

anywhere In the World, with the purchas-
ing power Of a hundred cents the laborer
is to be paid in dollars worth fifty cents
each, he can only buy half as much with a
days wages as he buys now.
Wage earners. Mr.. Bryan says, know
that while gold standard raises the pur
chasing power of the dollar. it also makes
it more difficult to obtain possession of
that dollar. They know that employment
is less permanent, loss of work more prob
able and employment less certain. If that
means anything 1t means that cheap dol
lar would give him more employment. more
frequent employment more work and a
chance to get unemployment after he was
discharged. If that means anything it
means that If the laborer is willing to have
his wages cut down he will get more work.
But diminution in the rate of wages does
not increase the scope of employment. The
more abundant the product the higher the
wages. There cahnot be an abundant pro-
duct less labor Is extensively employed.
Mr. Bryan would have you believe that
Is per the
wages always comes from g. narrow pro-
duction means there Is little demand for
labor In the market When, after the panic
cents a day it was haFder,to obtain labor
than when the rate Of LABOR was 81, and
the difference betweenr the, populist. who
seeks to cut down the. rate. of wages and
that the democrat So eF Hish wages
and prosperity are synony NOUS and the
populist wants to cut ,fhe rate of wages In
order that he may temptnthe farmer to
make war upon his own w9055ktngmen.
Illustrations.
Mr.. Bryan leads the Van in saying that it
is the creditor he is after, In order that
you should understand just how a change
in the standard of value enables men to
cheat their creditors you have to consider
the function which money plays in meas
uring debts. If had paid $40 for ten yards
OF cloth to be delivered to me next week
and in the interim the government should
pass law declaring that hereafter the
yard measure should consist of eighteen
inches and that all. existing contracts
should be settled iii that system of meas
ure, l would be cheated out of half the
cloth for which had paid. If, on the 9TH
er hand. l owed a cloth merchant for ten
yards of cloth, which he had delivered to
me and which was payable next week, and
in the meantime the government would
change the standard of value and cut down
the unit of coinage one-half, then would
:ettle that debt in s. and the cloth mer-
chant would have been cheated.
Now, the populist loves to say that the
creditor Is person who Expresses the
western farmer; the creditors of this
country are not the bankers: they are not
the so-called capitalist; they are the la
borers, and 1t Is at the expense Of labor
