JdAcS WilSou, uShpoa VI
the Republican National Committee. pre-
sided at the meeting, and In introducing
Mr.. Roosevelt he alluded to the public SER
vices Of the speaker, whom he was to
present. Mr. Roosevelt Is known to ev-
cry one from his services In stirring up
the New York police force as . member
Of the commission there. as well as by his
writings and his other public work.
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke in delightfully."-
pleasant manner and really made "talk'e
to the people present. He was pleased, hs
said, to meet them as American citizens.
He felt that in this campaign. 1t was
proper for one American otizen to appeal
to all others to stand together for the
country's honor and prosperity. Men
who have served Democracy we'll, now des
cline to follow the present party, and hha
the Republicans have come out boldly 40
true Americans. to declare that the coun-
try shall not be dishonored. In the West.
as well as in the East, are Democrats
who are going to stamp out the heresy
which the Chicago Democratic platform
has proclaimed.
Four years ago the Democrats asked the
workmen 70 vote against protective
tariff. They told them that their employ
ers were in favor Of 1t and therefore n
must be against the workmen's interests.
Then they told the people that they want
ed low prices. Now, Mr.. Bryan says that
we are to have high prices. He was for
one thing then and for another now They
wanted to put the tariff barons down.
They did 1t. but they have not enjoyed 1t.
Now they dare TO appeal to the workmen,
and to the employer to support them in
an effort to defeat honest money Be-
cause an employe differs from his employ
err in some respects the Democrats urge
that they are against each other. They
might as well say that one eats his meals
cooked and tho other raw.
Mr. Roosevelt then spoke at more length
on the money question, but said that ne
would not bother the audience with stat
istcs. He spoke Of the history Of me>
dums Of exchange. and alluded to the fact
that the original money Of the African
was his cattle. In the year 1900 B. O., the
Africans cattle money was demonettzed
and that must have been a crime" Then
the country went TO a Bryan state, where
they used any kind of metal which they
could get enough OF to make money. Iron
and copper were used. 1t was so worthless
that they had TO carry bag full. Of 1t to
make small purchase. China Is free
silver country, and the money IS so cheap
that the natives carry II on string. He
thought than 1t might be well for some Of
the Democrats to go to that country and
see the condition Of the workingmap
there. Currency Is cheap and abundant,
any their pay correSpondiDgly cheap.
Mr. Roosevelt said that Jack Cade,"
