Mr.. Rosewater says that it is not incum-
| bent upon him to tell us how much gold
there il in this country; that we can rely
upon the estimate of the secretary Of the
| treasury. The secretary'e estimate is good
II 1t Is based on something, but If the secre-
tary basis his estimate upon a mere guess
| and says that half of the estimated gold is
invisible" you can see ar much of this in
| visible supply as the secretary can. and 1
insist again that Mr.. Rosewater shall try to
show us where this gold is which he says
Is in the country.
Why, he talks about the delusion of a per
CAPITA circulation. Yes, why does he not
talk about the delusion Of per capita wheat?
He said a while ago that, If the wheat crop
fell off per capita, the price OF
wheat would go up. What has per capita
to do with wheat? Why, simply this, the
wheat you have to raise. Per capita Is
| related to money in the same way. The
more people who have to have money, the
more money you have to use.
demand that he shall show you where
the people are to have an increase OF money
as the population increases.
have shown him this statement, which
shows something like $50, 900, 900 less this
year than last, and ! demand that he shall
chow you where you are going to get the
money TO use.
My friends. the law OF supply and de-
mand relates to money as well as 1t does
to everything else, IL you Increase the
demand and let the supply remain the same
you raise the price. II you decrease the
sunrIy and let the demand remain the Same
| you raise the price. II you decrease the
amount OF money and the demand remains
the same. the price OF money VIII rise. and
/ ask him now for the seventh time 10 ten
you what interests the creditor class has IN
~ IFLx Inna M nuaih ~
Why? 1t can only be because he knows that
| the creditor classes Of the world are in favor
| of the gold standard, because 1t Is raising
| the value OF the property they have.
COLL FOR THE BONDHOLDERS.
There is not a man in this town who
owns real estate who is not Interested In
having real estate go up. A man who 0Wns
hogs is interested in having the price OF
hogs 90 up. and the man who has money
is interested in having the price OF money
20 up. The gold dollar makes money go
up and the people who W money profit
by IT. And / insist that those people who
own money profit by the rise Of
the gold dollar and the par
alysis of industry. And these are not tho
men to tell the laborlng man what he
needs as a laboring man. And ouch men
cannot instruct the laborlng man. They do
not give the laboring man food. And when
you make 1t Improbable to invest money
In enterprise you make II hard for the la
boring man to find work. Mr.. Rosewater
saws the civilized nations OF the world want
gold. / ask him to show you a single ma
ton where the common people have ever
declared themselves in favor Of the gold
standard.
The Reichstag Of Germany. about a year
ago, declared in favor OF b!metallism be-
cause the gold standard has been a curse to
the common people OF Germany, but the
Berlin Chamber of Commerce has said that
the gold standard was all right.
Go to the peasants Of Ireland and thu
farmers OF England and they win tell you
that they have been ground down by tbs
gold standard. but the bondholdlng class 1t

buying bonds aud selling Its gold 70 Tho
