Mr. Jefferson, who was once regarded
s0oop Drvocu,uc Arruonul,
seems TO have had different opinion .
from the gentlemen who have addressed
IA on the part Of the minority. Those
who are opposed to this proposition tell |
ne the issue Of paper money is the iunc.
ton Of banks, and that the government

Let me call attention to two or three
great things. The gentleman from New
York says ho will propose an amendment
that this change in our law
shall not effect
CONTRACTS ALRrAnY MADE.
"Let me remind him that there il no
intention Of affecting those contracts
which, according to the present laws,
are made payable In gold, but II he
means to say we cannot change our
monetary system without protecting
those who have loaned money before the
change was made, want To ask him
whore he can find authority for not pro-
tecting debtors when the act Of 1873
was passed, but now insists thatwe must
protect creditors. lie says he also wants
TO amend this law and provide that Il we
fall to maintain parity within year
that We will then suspend the coinage oi
silver, We reply that when we advocate
a thing which We believe will be success.
fol, We are not compelled 10 raise a doubt
AS to our sincerity by trying to show
what we viii do Il we can. ask him II
he will apply his logic to Ms why he does
not apply IL to himself, lie says he
wants this country to Wy to secure an
international agreement. Why doesn',
he tell us what he ia going 10 do Il they
fail to secure an International agree
ment there Is more reason Tor him 10 do
that than iorus to fail to maintain par
ity. They have tried for thirty years
Tor thirty years-to secure an
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT
and those are waiting Tor IL most pa.
tlently aud don't want il at ALL Cheers
and laughter long continued Now, my
friends, let me come To the great para.
mount issue. II they ask us here why
we say more ON the money question than
We say on the tariff question, | reply
that liprolection has slain its thousands,
the gold standard has slain its tens OF
thousands, II they ask Us why we did
not embody all these things In our plat
form, we reply to them that when we
have restored the money of the constitu-
ton all the other necessary reforms will
be possible, and that until that Is done
there is no reform that can DO accom-
plished
