metallism-whether independent or
intelnational-and the gold standard,
there is an impossible gulf. Is this
quardennial agitation in favor Of in
ternational bi-metallism conducted in
good faith or do our opponents really
desire to maintain the gold standard
permanently? Are they willing to con-
fess the superiority of double stand
ard when Joined in by the leading ma
tons of the world or do they still in
sis that gold is the only metal suita-
ble for standard money among civiliz-
ed nations? If they are in fact desir-
Gus of securing bi-metallism, we may
expect them to admit the evils of a
gold standard and defend bi-metallism
as a system. If, on the other hand
they are bending their energies to-
ward the permanent establishment of
gold standard under cover ofadeclara-
tion in favor of international bi-metal-
lism, [ am justified in suggesting that
honest money cannot be expected at
the hands of those who deal dishonest
ly with the American people.
AN HONEST DOLLAR.
what is the test OF honesty in
money? 1t must certainly be found
in the purchasing power of the dollar
An absolutely honest dollar could not
vary in it's general purchasing power;
it would be absolutely stable when
measured by average prices. A dollar
which increases in purchasing power
is just as dishonest as a dollar which
decreases in purchasing power.
Professor Laughlin, now of the Uni
versity of Chicago, and one of he high
est gold-standard authorities, ia his

changeable value OF the dollar; there
fore, the crusade against silver must
inevitably raise the purchasing power
Of money and lower the money value
of all other forms of property.
Our opponents sometimes admit
that it was a mistake to demonetize
silver, but insist that we should sub
NIT to present conditions rather than
return to the bi-metallic system. They
err in supposing that we have reached
the end Of the evil results OF gold
standard; we have not reached the
end. The injury is a continuing one
and no person can say how long the
world is to. suffer from the attempt
to make gold the only standard money.
THE same influences which are now
operating to destroy silver in the Uni
ted States will, if successful here, be
turned against other silver-using
countries, and each new convert to the
gold standard will add to the general
distress.
$50 long as the scramble for gold
continues, prices must fall, and a gen
eral fall in prices is but another de-
finitiOn of hard times.
Our opponents, while claiming en-
tire disinterestedness for themselves,
have appealed to the selfishness OF
nearly every class of society. Recogniz-
ing the disposition OF the individual
voter to consider the effect Of any
proposed legislation upon himself, we
present to the American people the
financial policy outlined in the Chicago
platform, believing that it will result
in the greatest good to the greatest
number

the p0ssessOrs of large incomes, be-
cause they were not compelled TO pay
q total Federal tax greater than their
share The income tax is not new, nor
is it based upon hostility to the rich.
The system is employed IN several OF
the most important nations of Europe.
Every income tax law upon the statute
books in any land, so far as | have beta
able to ascertain, contains an eXemp-
ton clause While the collection of an
income tax in other countries does not
make il necessary for this nation TO
adopt the system, yet it ought to mod
crate the language of those who de
nounce the income tax as an assault
upon the well to do.
Not only shall refuse to apologize
for the advocacy of an income tax
bv the National convention, but / shall
also refuse to apologize for the exer-
else by it OF the right to dissent from
the decision of the Supreme Court.
In a government like ours every public
official is a public servant, whether ne
holds office by election or by appoint
ment, whether he serves for term or
years or during good behavior, and the
people have a right to criticise his Off
cial acts. Confidence is everywhere the
parent OF despetism; for government
exists in jealousy and not in conf
dence'-these are the words OF
Thomas jefferson. and I submit that
they present truer conception OF
popular government than that enter
tanned by those who would prohibit an
unfavorable comment upon n court
decision. Truth viii vindicate itself:
only error fears free speech. No public
official who couscientiously discharges

THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION.

right to discuss his official conduct.
THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION.
Now let me ask you 10 consider the
paramount question of the campaign
the money question. 1t is scarcely nee
essary to defend the principle of BIZ
metallism. No National party during
the entire history of the United States
has ever declared against it, and no
party in tAis campaign has had the
temerisy to oppose it. TREE parties
the Den1r-"e,--,s,. ulc, Popslist and Silver
partits-have not only declared for BIZ
metallism, but have outlined the
specific legislation necessary to restore
silver to it's ancient position by the
side of gold. The Republican plat
form expressly declares that bi-metal-
lism is desirable when it pledges the
Republican party to aid in securing it
as soon as the assistance Of certain
foreign nations can be obtained. Those
who represented the minority senti-
ment in the Chicago convention oppoS-
ed the free coinage Of silver by the Uni
ted States by independent action on
the ground that in their judgment, it
would retard or entirely prevent the
establishment OF international BIZ
rHetallism, TO which the efforts OF the
government should be steadily direct
ed. When they asserted that the eff
forts OF the government should be
steadily directed toward the establish
Hlent of international bi-metallism,
they condemned recommendation. The
gold standard has been weighed In the
balances and found wanting Take from
it the powerful support of the money
owning and the money-changing
classes, and it cannot stand for one
day in any nation in the world 1t
was fastened upon the United States
without discussion before the people,
and it's friends have never yet been
| willing to risk verdict before the vot-
ers upon that Issue.
There can be no sympathy or CO.

In appear ance the mineral in the rock from McClure's discovery is like . bright zinc. Its value in mineral works des- cribing it is given as $225 per pound.
