Will never spring up as menace to our
national peace again"
In Praise of Gold.
Mr.. Palmer recited some transactions /
IN which Illinois had figured as insisting |
upon paying her debts in gold and said: /
81 am justified in saying that Illinois
present great prosperity-and she Is the |
third most prosperous state in the Union |
lis because she met her debts fairly and |
honestly and with credit, and believe the |
other great states In the Union will follow |
her example in this national matter this |
year
Speaking Of Mr. Brynn's Endorsement
on three platforms he said "The Popu.
lists like Bryan because he is n Populist.
tho silyes men Ike him because no Is a sill
yer man, and the Chicago platform makers
like him because he Ia everything to every
body and an anarchist il you please"
General Palmer went on 60 elucidate the
silver problem In tho same words as he
used on Tuesday night at Madison Square
Garden and said: THE promises of the
silver men are promises held out TO the
susceptible and which they never expect,
or II they do expect, will never bo able to
really keep. The business interests of the
country will be disturbed to such an ex-
tent, If there was any idea that they could
win, that we should now be in the midst
OF panic
He attacked the silver mon by saying:
II venture to assert that the men who
own the silver are also holders Of gold and
will be able TO make money out of any
situation and with any result Every man
and woman in this country, be he or she
a debtor or not, is Interested in maintain
ing the present standard and being honest
/ In acts and intention | tell you, II the
standard In this country is lowered, twill
| hurt our commop school system, II moth
ing else, and that should appeal TO your
| patriotism.
1 am proud of my position tonight In
being called to address men who are Of
integrity and earnestness- Your duty is
a simple one. II is TO go to the polls on
election day and work and vote out your
/ duty No manly American man cnn oon-
sent to occupy the degrading position of
| working for platform that you do not
| like, "a platform ruinous to the country
and to yourselves and for tho purpose OF
| fixing a disreputable silver scheme upon
| this country So faras l am concerned, 1
won't. So far as you are concerned, you
| won't"
