of maintaining the gold standard. and
nothing else.
The senator from Ohio knows, and
every man in the chamber standard.
Aud he knows, as | know, that that the
1862 900, 900 is but the lightning of
debt that is to be put upon MS il the gold
standard is to be maintained. 1t will not
do for the senator to tell me or ANYBODY
else in this chamber that revenue is
what you want. What you want, Mr..
President, is some system Of finance
that shall bring confidence to the peo-
pie who create and produce, that shall
encourage them in the belief that when
they manufacture an article they want
to sell they sell it iOr AS much at least
as it costs. The absolute certainty ex-
lists today in every productive circle in
the United States, and pretty nearly in
the world, that he who produces today
must sell tomorrow at loss.
Mr.. President the financial question
is at the bottom Of this trouble, not a
lack OF revenues. | do not intend N.Y.
self to allow either the senator from
Ohio or anybody else to fool the people
OF this country with the idea that all
you need is to pass the Mckinley bill
again, and then prosperity will come.
You will Lever see the McKinley bill
re-enacled, and il did you would not see
prosperity come from it. We have
been promised all these years that ii
would do this and il we would Go other
things prosperity would be atour door.
Every promise made has failed.

country and shouting band OF men
who have labeled their candidate "lhe

can only answer that, in my Judgement,
we are suffering for want OF more tariff.
We are suffering for want OF two things
IN tins country. One is that the par
OF exchange between the siIver-us ny
countries and this country shall e
rr-establshed: and the other, that the
people may know that as business pro.
creds and grows the government Of the
United States, either by open mint or
by some system OF issuing paper money
or some other method, will keep pace
with the growth OF commerce in its is
sue OF currency.
Mr.. President, there is one rule that
has been observed in all commercial
countries e,tfyH here for all time, and
that is that as the business OF the coun-
try increases so the currency Of the
country must increase in proportion.
Here we are with 70,000,000 of people,
the richest nation on the earth, with
more natural advantages, with more in
telligence, with more ambition, with
more enterprise than any other nation
without exception, and we are sitting
here and watching the currency shrink
and shrivcl at the raic OF $l00, ,000,00 II
year, while We witness the increase Of
population Of the country ai the rate of
l0,000000 at least in II decade, and no
provision made by which the people can
secure additional means ol doing bust
ness unless the iunal banks shall, in
their generosity, come to oar relief AMI

I" Altogether an ASS"

The St. Adams Messenger has the fol-
lowing regarding George Fred Williams
who addressed the democracy of Orleans
county at Newport last Saturday
Geo. Fred Williams, of Massachusetts,
declares he did not know for many years
Of the conspiracy against the people that
existed around him, that as soon as he dis
covered it he ceased to be part OF it and
undertook to expose it. Innocent and
guileless youth, Geo. Fred Been in poll
tics for dozen or more years, left the
Republican party because it had become
the tool of corruption, served term in
Congress, where he watered the floor of
the lobby with tears because free silver
advocate was nominated for speaker, ran
for governor on the democratic ticket less
than year ago, helped draw the resolu-
tions of the democratic state convention
demanding the gold standard less than
three months ago, and never knew there
was conspiracy existing all around him
until the free silver democrats had elected
a majority Of the delegates to the national
convention, of which Williams was to be a
member, The more Williams attempts to
explain his treason to party and principle,
the more he demonstrates the truth of the
Characterization of the New York World
that he is g altogether an ass"

$4,000, 900 Loss In Farm Valuations.

George Fred Williams OF Massachusetts
made the following statement in his address
at Newport Saturday.
And may speak here in Vermo@ with
more feeling and earnestness concerning
the great issue that is now before us than
l may speak in any other state IN New
England, because the state Of Vermont has
shown, by actual figures. heavier loss on
its wealth than any other state q New
England, in proportion to its wealth, be-
tween the years 1880 and 1890. Accord
ing to the census OF the United States,
there was fall in the value of farms in the
whole of New England Of about 9O,009,-
600. The state Of Vermont has sustained
$3.50, 100000 of that loss. Therefore, |
may we'll come to the suffering state and
present cause which believe to involve
the rescue of your state, Of. New ingland,
of the United States, aye, of whole
civilized world, from false sy aem OF
money which has been forced upon us in
the last 20 years.

Nine Gold Democrats.

They were Prof j. P. johnson of Nor
wich university at Mortified; George F.
Smith of White River Junction, candidate
for governor in 1894 C. H. Davenport of
Brattleboro, editor of the Reformer; w.
II. Creamer of Bethel, delegate to the Chi
cago convention; Wells Valentine Of Ben
nington, also delegate to the Chicago con-
vention; Mayor J. w. Gordon of Barre,
G. A. Hibbard Of Burlington. T. M. Mel
don of Rutland and F. B. Gillette Of Rich
mond, and they met in Montpelier yester-
day to discuss plans for sound money
campaign.
AS there still seemed to be some doubt
as to how DR.. j. Henry jackson, the DEM
ocratic nominee for governor stood on the
money question, committee was appointed
to wait on him and ascertain his views.
The doctor blandly declared "that he
stood on the platform OF the state conven-
ton, by which he was nominated, but that
while not entirely agreeing with the Chi
cago platform he was not bolter."
This satisfied the nine gold democrats
and they voted to support the doctor in
the coming election.
A sound money state committee was ap-
pointed to take up all questions OF ex-
pediency not decided to-day, receive the
report of the delegate to the Indianapolis

Democratic Lack of Backbone.

When the Chicago candidates were
named and the platform adopted vigorous
kick was registered on the part of Ver-
mont democracy. If certain of the disci-
Piles of Jefferson could be believed. there
wouldn't be enough democrats in the state
by next November to fill an average sized
voting booth.
But of late there has been a marked
change and the kickers seem to be dimin-
ishing. Each county convention seems
ambitious to outdo its predecessors in
party loyalty and devotion to the principles
enunciated at Chicago. Populism, free
silver, the attack on the supreme court
all are swallowed with scarcely vince.
The Windham county convention, how
ever, was an exception.
Some have been wondering where DR.. j
Henry jackson stood on the paramount
issue of the campaign. There is no longer
room for doubt. Before the Washington
county convention last Saturday he statet
that he could see no good reasons fo
any good democrat in Vermont TO bolt tn,
nominations made at Chicago. He wa
ready to roll up his sleeves and do all tn,
work he honorably could, with malc'
towards none and with charity for all, do
ing the right as God gives us light to Sc,
the right. Do the best we can as por
ton of the democratic party in the east t,
confirm what has always been done in tn
west, and, after the first of November next
w. j. Bryan will be the next president
The worthy doctor also referred to tn
democratic party as ''the party that look
after the masses as they are arrayed agains
the classes" and this from a man who b
birth and inclination is an aristocrat. Tn
doctor has not been long enough in tn
harness to rant ike Altgeld and Tillman
but he is in fair way to get there by an
by. If gold democrats want their vote t
count for sound money in Vermont the
