WOULD BE JUST ONE WAY FOR
THE .WoRKINGAiAN s TO GET II.
AND THAT WOULD BE TO EARN
IT. There would be- Just one way for
the farmer to get 81, and that would be
to sell his products There would be
Just one way for the merchant to get
1.-THE good ld-fashloned way--which
would be, to sell his goods over his
counter and give something for tho
money. That Is the only way you
could get itif we coined all the silver
of the world. Besides, DID IT EVER
OCCUR TO YOU THAT MONEY
DOES NOT MAKE WORK? WORK
MAKES MONEY, There Is just as
much money In this country to-day as
there was from, 1870 10 1890 and more;
but what Is the trouble? lCrles OF mo
work. no work'0. Yes, no work. IT
IS WORK THAT PUTS MONEY IN
10 CIRCULATION. MONEY DOES
NOT WANT TO BE IDLE ANY
MORE THAN LABOR WANTS TO BE.
IDLE. The, man who has money wants
that money TO be earning something,
and the only reason he does not put 1t
out now Is because he Is afraid he will
never get 1t back or get 1t back IN n
depredateh currency. And when he
does not put 1t out and II does not cir
culate, then thereTis no work. When
You have Idle men and idle money, dis
'tress and suffering prevail, Now, do
not know what you think about It. but
i think that You cannot have money too
good.
When a miner has performed
weeks work--I do not know how long
It has been since he has performed
tull weeks work--when the miner In
the mines and the Slassblower in the
glass works and the worltlngmen In
any occupation has performed his
weeks work. has his weeks pay, that
weeks pay represents the value OF his
labor for six days, does 1t not? (Cries
Yes, yes'D. Well, now. does he not
want the money so received to be the
best In the world? (Great applause
and sure, sureD.
Does he not want that which repre-
sents his six days work to have, as
much purchasing power as any money
anywhere? And when you have re-
celved dollars worth one hundred cents
IN purchasing power, you want TO
know that they viii not lose, but keep
that one hundred cents worth of prr-
chasing power. That Is the kind of
money We have now and that Is the
kind of money we propose to continue
to have. THE MONEY THAT WILL.
BUY THE MOST Isl THE MONEY
YOU WANT. AND Il WHAT YOU
WANT NOW is AN OPPORTUNITY
TO EARN IT. YOU CANNOT EARN
II THROUGH THE MINTS, BUT
THROUGH THE MILLS, MINES.
FACTORIES, AND BY HONEST
TOLL. We can only do the best we
know how in this world. We can only
follow the light as God gives us to see
the light. believe. my fellow citizens,
that with returning confldence-and
confidence Is half the capital of the
werld-money will come out from its
hiding place, be invested in enterprises
all over the country and put IDLE men
to work. and SO believing, stand for
that policy which will most surely re.
store confidence. 7
Now, having said this much. I desire
to thank the glaSsworkers for their
gift, which I highly value-for any,
thing that comes from the hands Of
labor lslalways cherished by me. There
is nothing Stn%aii thisrcontest that has
given me so much satisfaction and en-
enlargement as~to feel that I have
the wortingmen of the United States
standing for the cause which repre-
sent I thank you all for this call and
wish You pleasant visit here in Cam
ton and safe return to your homes
