IS TIRED OF WAITING.

agreement looking to the restoration of
throughout the world. The
advocates of free coinage have on all oc-
casions shown their willingness to CO.
operate with other nations in the re-
instatement of silver, but they are not
willing to await the pleasure of othergo
ernments when immediate relief is needed
by the people of the United States, and
they further believe that independent ac-
tion offers better assurance of interna-
tional bimetallism than servile depend
ence upon foreign aid. For more than
twenty years we have invited the assist
ance of European nations, but all pro-
gress in the direction of international BIZ
metallism has been blocked by the oppo-
sition of those who derive pecuniary
benefit from the appreciation of gold.
How long must we wait for bimetallism
to be brought to US by those who profit
by monometallism? If the double stand
ard will bring benefits to our people, who
will deny them the right to enjoy those
benefits?
If our opponents would admit the right,
the ability and the duty of our people to
act for themselves ON all public questions,
without the assistance and regardless of
the wishes of other nations, and then
propose the remedial legislation which
they consider sufficient, we would meet
them in the field of honorable debate, but
when they assert that this nation is help
less to protect the rights of its own clti-
zens we challenge them to submit theirs
to people whose patriotism has never
been appealed to in vain.
We shall not offend other nations when
we declare the right of the American
people to govern themselves, and, with
out let or hindrance from without, decide
upon every question presented for their
consideration. In taking this position
We simply maintain the dignity of TO-
100000 citizens who are second to none
il their capacity for self-government.
The gold standard has compelled the
American people to pay an ever increas-
ing tribute to the creditor nations of the
world--a tribute which no one dares to
defend. I assert that national homer re-
quires the United States to secure justice
for all it's citizens as well as do justice to
all it's creditors. For people like ours,
blest with natural resources of surpass-
ing richness, to proclaim themselves i'm
potent to frame financial system suited
to their own needs, is humiliating be-
yond the power of language to describe.
We can not enfofce respect for our for
eign policy 80 long as we confess our
selves unable to frame our own financial
policy. Honest differences of opinion
have always existed and ever will exist as
to the legislation best calculated to pro-
mote the public veal; but when it is seri-
ously asserted that this nation must bow
to the dictation of other nations, and ac-
cept the policies which they insist upon,
the right of self government is assailed,
and until that question is settled all other
questions are Insignificant.
4 LIVING FAITH.
Citizens of New York: have travelled
from the center of the continent to the
seaboard that might in the very begin
ming of the campaign bring you greeting
from the people out west and south, and
assure you that their desire is not to de-
stroy but to build up. They invite you
to accept the principles of q living faith
rather than listen to those who preach
the gospel of despair aud advise endur-
ance of the ills you have. The advocates
of free coinage believe that in striving to
secure the immediate restoration of BIZ
metallism they are lahoring in your be-
half as we'll as in their own behalf. A few
of our people may prosper under present
conditions, but the permanent welfare of
New York rests upon the producers Of
wealth. The great city is built on the
commerce of the nation and must suffer
if that commerce 10 impaired. You can
not sell unless the people have money
with which to buy, and they can not buy
unless they are able to sell their products
at remunerative prices. Production of
wealth goes before the exchange of
wealth; those who cheat must secure a
profit before they have anything to share
with others. You can not afford to join
the money changers in support of H.
nancial policy which destroys the pur-
chasing power of the products of toll
aud must in the end discourage the crea-
ton of wealth.
L1BERTY's BEACON.
Task, I expect, your cooperation. IL
is true that few of our financiers would
fashion new fgure-a figure represent
ing Columbia, her hands fast with letters
of gold and her face toward the east APP
pealing fer assistance to those who live
beyond the sea, but this figure can never
express your idea of this nation. You
will rather turn for inspiration to the
heroic statue which guards the entrance
to your oity--a statue as patriotic in con-
oeption as it is colossal In proportions;
it was the gracious gift of a sister re-
public. and stands upon pedestal which
was built by the American people. That
figure-Liberty Enlightening the World
lis emblematic OF the wisdom of our
nation among the nations of the earth.
With q government which derives its
powers from the consent of the governed,
ACQUIRES to all the people freedom OF con-
science, freedom Of thought and freedom
of speech, guarantees equal rights to all
and promises special privileges to none,
the United States should be an example
in all that is good and the leading spirit
in every movement which has for its OBJ
ject the uplifting of the human race.
