u want to call your attention to another
thing before taking up any discussion of
any particular phase of the money ques-
ton. want to ask you to recall what you
read in this mornings paper, that the rate
OF interest had been raised one per cent.
by the Bank of England. The rate of in
terest now there Is four per cent. 1t has
been raised two per cent. within six weeks
The Bank of Germany has raised the rate
Of interest to five per cent, and the Bank of
France has refused to sell gold. call
your attention to these facts, ecause l
CdIllOL understand NOW anyone can Tall
to see the significance Of them, of these
things. Our opponents tell us that gold
forms safe foundation for an interna-
tional money. They tell US that gold alone
Is good throughout the world. I want you
to understand, business men Of Peoria and
Illinois, that this rise in the interest in
England and In Germany, and the action
af the French bank in all these things indi-
cate, aye. they conclusively prove that the
stock Of gold throughout the world is 30
small that the nations Of the world are
grabbing to get their share.
Cause Of the Gold Demand.
What has created this special demand3
You do not have to go far to find the cause.
The f1nahciers decided that 1t would not
DO to have another bond issue in the United
States during the campaign. They decided
that another issue of bonds would be an
object lesson which they could not afford
. risk and therefore the f1nanciere Of
New York went to work to supply the ma
tional treasury with gold to tide II over tho
campaign. When they found that 1t was
difficult, they appealed to the foreign f1nan-
gold standard permanently upon tho
American people. These f1nanciers aided,
In the plan and as gold left Europe, as gold
came to us from England, the people there
began to feel the effect Of its departure,
and the Bank of England raised the rate
United States, and Germany had to pro-
sect herself and France has to protect
herself and thus this one little agitation
proves to the people Of the world that so
long as the gold Is our only money there
must be constant disturbance. constant
agitation, constant peril to our CONNER
,ial fabric as the gold drifts from one ma
ton to another"
