u justifiable and the only honest policy
now, the fathers of the republic were
all regulators and thieves in not doing
it in the first fifty years of the republic.
In 1884 an effort was made to bring
gold into circulation. This was done by
reducing the gold dollar one grain. The
silver dollar was left unchanged at SIN
grains. This reduction of the gold dollar
was excessive, and meant and was Il
scaling of all contracts of about 6 per
cent. The silver dollar was then under
valued and at once disappeared.
No attempt was made to hold them in
circulation by q redemption system AMI
option to government bond-holders, as
is now pretended to be the only possible
course for honest men. There was no
holding of the high-priced silver dollar
by redeeming the cheap gold dollar in
it. Nothing of the kind. When the I'M
LIBERALIZATION of the silver dollar was
fully realized, another attempt was
made to bring the two metals together.
This was after the crisis of 1886, when it
was desired to bring silver back into tho
circulation. To effect this end, in 1897
two-tenths of grain was added to tn ,
gold dollar. The silver dollar remained
as it commenced and as it still is, 371I
grains fine silver. The addition was in
sufficient, and the silver dollar did no.
come back. Still there was no one to
even propose the Sherman Foster Car
Isle plan of paying all contracts in the
highest priced dollar. The people always
had the option and always used the
cheapest dollar. No one protested. 1t
was natural and 1t was lawful. 1t is nat :
ural and lawful. But our public servant {,
are now above the law. These officers
know not the law nor the people. They
only know Ichelheimer, Morgan, Bel
mont and Rothschild. That is the law of
the United States treasury today.
The embarrassment of having no small
coinage in silver caused the passage of
further coinage acts to keep this silver
for small coinage in tae country. This
was in the SOS. The principle of this
legislation was in harmony with the
past The cheapest dollar had to prevail,
and the silver in the small change was
reduced to correspond with the cheap
gold dollar. During the history of the
republic no public officer used the law
full option of the government to pay its
coin obligations in anything except the
cheapest of the two measures of value
When Carlisle and Sherman, as public
officers, adopt new and revolutionary
policy, to use the option against the
government; to turn the option, written,
signed, sealed and delivered, in the con-
trct belonging to the government and
people over to 1chelheimer and others,
these officers betrayed their trust Their
duty was to follow the law and not to
invent it; to follow precedent. and not
to defy it; to give the people the benefit
of their lawful option to pay their bonds
and not to so unwarrantably interpret
the contract as to double the debt. All
debts, public or private, are paid in
products. Money is the meaure. Sher-
man and Carlisle, without law or prece-
dent, have doubled the debt of the
American people in the products which
must be used to pay it.

Hanna in his enterprises employs
thousands of men. He has fought strikes
and lockouts with every one of them.

lives and wakes fat today, the best
specimen of the modern anthropoph-
agi.
Hanna's first labor war of worth and
weight was with the Seamen's union
of the Great Lakes. I've told the story
before. The battle began in 1882. II
lasted four bitter years. Hanna had

pugilist, and of morals and mentality

Rumsey placed on the police force OF
Cleveland. Rumsey had been one OF
Hanna's sailors.
Then Hanna caused the police board
to construct on the Cleveland force a

Hanna was now ready, and he pulled
on his war with the poor sailor folk

popular campaigning, and they stamp

candidate the Democrats could have
chosen to lead the fight for free silver.
Let no one think that this struggle is
already won; let no one rest serenely
on his oars. The spectacle of thousands
thronging to hear the apostle of silver

parties to employ the surest means to
counterfeit his efforts"
