ever found faithful ally in gold. 1t is
the most cowardly and treacherOuS of all
metals. 1t makes no treaty that ii does
not break. 1t has no friends whom it
does not sooner or later betray. Armies
and navies are not maintained by gold.
In time of panic and calamity, shipwreck
and disaster it becomes the chief agent
and minister of ruin No nation ever
fought great war by The aid of gold;
on the contrary. in the crisis of the great

Those are the words of the distimeUiSh-

are true. and our opponents are iusls ing

may be drawn away at any time and
leave us helpless at the mercy of our enc

My friends. know that our policy is
democratic for many reasons. In the
