WHAT WORKINGMEN WANT.

Pennsylvania (Cries of sYesr) If not up
on his savings then upon his credit.
WHAT WORKINGMEN WANT.
s'What the idle workingman wants Is
job That means money to him. Inc
mints. if they were thrown wide open to
the coinage of every character OF metal
and were multiplied a hundred fold in ca
pacity, would neither furnish the work
ingman a job, restore his exhausted saw
ings or give him credit. (Great applause
and cries, You are right, Major.D Moth
ing, my fellow-citizens, will accomplish
that but work-work at fair wages-and
that will only come through confidence,
restored by wise financial and Industrial
policy. (Cheers and cries or Hurrah Tor
Remember that money is never willing
1y idle If money is ever idle it is because
is to insure business stability and business
confidence. tCries of That's right-) we
cannot have work if we do not nave weaith aitt
somewhere; and we cannot have wealth
without work, for work is at the founda-
ton of all wealth. The power to get hold
of money! don't care what business we
are in-depends upon whether the man who
owns the money wants what we nave and
needs what have more than he wants
needs his money. (Applause and cries
OF That's right.o If we have our labor
we can get pay for il, II somebody wants
it unless it is necessary to have 1t tor ms
convenience or comfort or to procure some
of his money. Great cheering we
want to borrow money our ability to get 1t
is measured by the confidence the posses
sor has in our ability and disposition to
repay it. That is true, whatever kind OF
money we have.
And there is another thing we ought to
remember, and that is: free silver, al a
ratio Of 16 to l any other ratio, Will not
repeal the great law of supply ana de-
mand. (Cheers) 1t is a grave error to
suppose that you can enhance values by
diminishing the value of money-that you
can increase the value of anything by
changing its measure. Garfield uttered
ton of specie payments, he sad: IN the
name of every man who wants his own
when he has earned it, demand that we
do not make the wages of the poor man
to shrivel in his hands after he has earned
them. (Appause) But that his money
shall be made better and better until the
the bondholders money (cries of Good;
good.'); until our standard is one, and
there is no longer one money for the rlch
and another for the poor. (Great ap-
What Garfield so eoquently spoke for
was executed by the resumption law OF
of fulfllment. and a dollar IN every part
and market of the world. TREMENDOUS ap,
plause) That is the way 1T was then ana
is now and that is the way it shall be 1t
the people place the Republican party in
control of every branch OF our federal gov
ernment. applause and cries OF Ihey VIII
do it.D And the preservation or that dol
lar is as Indispensable to our national
honor and our public faith as it is to the
men who work in factories and who toll IN
the fields. (Applause)
Il thank you, my countrymen, for this
generous and gracious call. One OF the
greatest sources of comfort to me IN TINS
contest is the assurance of your spokes-
man that have behind me SO many of the
workingmen of the United States. tLoud
applause) 1t will give me sincere pleasure
to meet and greet each one of you per-
