with marked attention. They set the
people to thinking. A good sized aud
fence greeted the distinguished speak
ers and much enthusiasm was mani
tested.

WHEN THE DEMOCRATS BROKE IN.

Senator Burrows in his recent speech
in st. Louis said: They say that this
condition of things was brought about
by the demonstration of silver in 1873.
Put pin there, please, for the moment,
while call your attention that the
statement is untrue. (Applause.) We
did not demonetize silver in '73, and
silver is not demonetized-was not then
and is not now. Great applause.) But,
If the ceasing of theScolnage of silver
in 70 produced the difficulty of SO, may
1 inquire, Isn't it little singular that
the case didn't develop for 90 years
daughter and applause) If the de-
monetization of silver in '73 occasioned
this difficulty, how was it that after '7s
this nation went on in its march of
progress and power until 1898 it stood
in the very van of all the nations OF
the earth? (Cheers) Our trade was
never so great as then; the 1aboring
people never had so many dollars laid
away in the savings banks as the
result Of their labor as then.
Isn't 1t a little remarkable that if il
was that that caused the difficulty OF
1896, that it didn't develop ITSELF Isn't il
little remarkable, also, isn't itrather a
strange coincidence, that this condition
of things, that this disease, rather, in
this country broke out at the same
time that the Democratic party broke
| in? cloud cheering and laughter. A
voice, "Hi; 'em again!'D Not because
the Democratic party had control OF
the country as individuals, not that
but because of the policy of free trade
which they inaugurated. The moment
that policy was inaugurated. that mo
mani this difficulty began.
