some people seem TO think that the way TO
get rich in this country is 10 depreciate the
quality of the money We have naughter) and
some people have gone so far as 10 say that IL
does not make any difference about the quality
of the money We only have the quantity. l
think some OF the men standing around me To-
dav who were across the river during the late
civil War will remember that quality had very
mtcl to do Hith the money. and that while there
was quantity in plenty of "A certain kind OF
money the quality of 1t poor 1t would
scarcely buy n breakfast. General Longstreet
recently said in speech al Augusta. Ga: 1T
was said Of the Confederate money during the
war that a big hamper basket full Of il was
sent To market for a basketful OF supplies for
daily family use. The last breakfast had in
Richmond before General Lee pulled us away
from there was a small steak. plain biscuit and
warm water that had faint suspicion or
coffee about IT, and this sumptuous repast cost
me exactly 500 In Confederate money, and !
felt then that ! swindlins mine host. as
Grants guns called me TO work on the field.
! have heard a poor private had to pay S2W Tor
a still scanter meal.
What we want in this country. my fellow
citizens. no matter where we i've, no mater
what our occupations may be. Is good, honest
dollar that has value in 1t. When We give our
labor to our employers when We give our eight
or ten hours of days work 10 the railroad
company. we have given them the best we nave
the value OF the work give to those railroad
companies ,Cries Of That's right" and 'Hurrah
for Mckinley. } we want no 0epreclaleu ooIidfS
in the United States. We have had short hours
for the last three years and d half We don't
like them and don't want short dollars
Then there are some people who seem to be-
lieve that the way to get on best is to have one
body OF our citizens arrayed against another.
do not believe that. believe we are all
brothers. all equal under our Constitution and
flag. and that all Of us have a right to aspire
to the highest and best things in a free Gov
ernment like ours. Continuous cheering9 The
most glorious thing our history has demon
strated Is that the poorest and humblest boy.
