From the Boston Arena.

July 14,which. in point OF number and
enthusiasm, eclip-cd any ratification
meeting held in recent years. Mr.. H.
j. Jaquith, who until a few months
ago was president Of one Of Boston s
leading nks,and who was forced out
OF his position because Of his loyalty
to free coinage of silver, made nota-
ble address, from which we extract
the following, which we'll deserves the
consideration of every honest man
who may have been m sled by the hys-
terical editorials OF the press of the
gold ring and the tools Of the Wall
street gamblers in their battle against
the wealth creators and legitimate
business intcrcS is Of our nation.
Ancient fable tells US Of the famous
wrestler, son Of Mother Earth, who,
hard pressed and thrown upon the
bosom Of Mother Earth, rose refreshed
from the contact, invincible and con-
Quering
In the convention just closed the
Democratic party returned to its
mother. 1t had been throttled and
hard pressed by corrupt trusts and the
money power Of foreign shylocks; it
returned to the bosom Of the common
people from whom it sprang, and has
risen again, young giant, invincible
and sure to conquer in the NOyember r
elections. Its mandate is of peace
and good Will to the toilerS and suffer
ers OF all cimes and nationalitieS and
religions, but Of unceasing and un-
compromising war upon the parasites
who have bought delegati tions and con-
ventions and legislatures, who have
stalked boldly into the halls of cun-
gress. who have attempted to place
their creatures upon the bench of our
courts, and who have been the tyr
ants behind an attempted throne in
this land that was ordained to be re-
public.
You, the people, have made your
laws and they have nullified them
Commercial life and CONNIE rcial death
for whole communities have been or
dered by the N, and your false serv-
ants have turned their faces from you
while object lessons of destructive
power were being meted out to your
fellows. object lessons that Jackson
would have nipped in the bud, il he
had had to hang the cons spirators as
high as Haman.
Fellow Democrats, our AntauS, our
invincjble young giant, our leader,
VIM. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, has ac-
cepted the mandate Of the people, and
is going forth conQuerng and to con-
Quer. The spirit Of Jackson is upon
him; uncompromising, he does not Pc
tition, but, as your represents tive, he
demands that the Constitution and
the laws shall be obeyed, that equita-
BILE taxes shall be levied, and that the

made the football Of cOnspirators and
stock jObberS.
L shall never forget my meeting
with MIR. Bryan when he was con-
gress man, nor his burning, bitter in
dignatiOn at the wicked supineness of
our high officials. He did not use
words to conceal his thoughts, and his
thoughts sprang from the pure inspir.

mo crown of thorns. No cross of
gold"
We of the East, as mass, do not
understand the meaning of these
words as we'll as do our brethren OF
the West and South. We have not
had any free discussion; our leading
papers have refused to print any but
the gold side; our banks have frowned
upon loans to silver men. upon loans
to business men of silver state. upon
collateral based upon property in
those states.
D!sJrust and suspicion Of our West
ern and Southern brethren have
teemed in our newspapers, and we
have been treated to liberal doses, fre
quently repeated, of the statement
that our servants in Was hington were
better than their party.
The Chicago convention declared
for silver because we need it as
money metal, and the more our East
ern people study the question the
more they will see the need.
But for thus declaring we, the sup.
porterS Of that platform, are charac-
teriZed as anarchists and revolution
lists.
1t is not my purpose to go into the
figures 70 prove the bimetallic argu.
ment, nor to construct my own pre-
sentation Of the argument. 1t would
take more time than can be spared
now; but propose to meet the criti-
cism Of re volution and anarchism, and
to put that criticism where no man of
decency or ability will dare to repeat
1t.
Feb. 6, 1893, Senator Hill. of New
York, said, MY own personal convic.
tion is clear that with adequate pre-
paration, revised laws and competent
and friendly administration, indie.

States to establish and maintain.n
The European monetary conference
of 1878 found THAT it is necessary to
maintain In the world the money
functions of silver as we'll as those of
gold"
just think of it! That conference
of the European powers in 1878 was
composed Of anarchists.

the fall in the average prices of began
then and has been almost continuous
ever since"
Dear me! here is another anarchist,
and the governor Of the bank OF Eng
