nothing to it, but would rob us or the
good money we now have and put us
where the silver countries OF the World
are today-upOn silver Dasls alone.
There is nothing in our present currency
status. therefore, to disturb us, except
to defeat the party which proposes TO ue-
base it. 1t is the proposition to debase
our currency standard that has created
CONSERVATION in every business center or
the country; has made times hard, mas
driven money from active industry, ana
put it behind barred doors, where 1t VIII
be kept until confidence is restored.
THE people will not consent TO de-
crease of their circulating medium, nor a
debasement of that medium of exchange.
If by your votes this menace to the mon
ey and credit of the country be dispelled,
and by the same votes you restore the
American protective policy, that VIII stop
deficiencies in the treasury, and will pro-
tect American industry, and courage
and confidence will come back again.
Open the mills and the mines of our
country by a judicious protective tariff
and you will stop idleness and distress
in the ranks of labor, and you can't stop
it in any other way. What will be the
voice of Maryland on the 3D. day of No
vember? (Cries of Mckinley, McKin-
ley.o What will be the voice of the
great city of Baltimore? Cries of Nc
Kinley.O How will that old conservative
city speak for national honor? (Cries of

tion.)
Il thank my old comrades of the war
for their presence here at my home to-
day. thank my fellow citizens of every
vocation for having paid me this visit,
and | beg to thank them in the name of
the Republican party for their assur-
ances of loyal support to the principles of
public honor, a protective tariff, sound
money, reciprocity, which will bring to
us, | trust and firmly believe, good times.
