In Defense OF Boiling.
To show you that the action of the re-
publicans is defended by experience and
example, let me carry vol back to he
period just preceding the war. II you
will turn to a book recently published.
entitled John Sherlnan's Recoliec-
tions,' qaughter) o will find on page
liz of the first volume a portion OF a
speech which he delivered In congress
in 1856. Let me read this extract:
II am willing to stand the compro-
misses of 1920 and 1850, but when our
white brethren of the south allow this
administration to lead them Off from
their principles, when they abandon the
position which Henry Clay would nave
taken, forget his name and achieVe-
ments, and decline n longer to carry
his banner, they lose all their claim on
me. And / say 10Y that until this
wrong is righted, until Kansas Is admit
ted as a free state, I cannot act ! n party
association with them"
81. ~, In 80. a.. ,o-,;rhaS uanafor
from Ohio asserting to the people OF this
country uEon the floor of congress that
he was willing to accept compromise after
compromise, but that the time had at
last come when he could go with them no
that until certain things were ac-
complished he couldn't act with them.
The situation today is but a repetition OF
history. Compromise after compromise
have been submitted by the silver repub-
licans In the hope that the party of their
choice and love would at last bring to the
people the relief they desired.
But the republican party, like that party
in 1856, has been led off by an administia-
ton unit it has deserted Its traditions ana
its platform, and these republicans have a
right to say to their republican associates:
I'VE will go with you no longer until this
nation is redeemed" (Applause.) We do
not ask those who represent this nomlna-
ton to pledge their future services to the
democratic party. The same intelligence
which directs them today in the discharge
of this duty will be with them our years
from now to direct them in the discharge
of the duties that will then arise. The
same patriotism that leads them today in
what they do will be with them four years
from now to guide and direct them. We
trust them now; we shall trust them then.
The democratic party has proven itself
worthy of their confidence today and 1t re-
ceives their support. If four years from
now 1t proves unworthy of their confidence
1t should not then have their support.
(Applause.)
Greatest Trust Ever Known.
The chairman of the notification con
m.ttete has told YOU that we have to meet
today a great money trust. He Is right.
We are confronted today by the most gil
gantic trust that has ever been formed
among men. Talk about trusts in various
articles which we produce. My friends all
these trusts together fall into ins.gnif-
canoe when compared with the money
trust which has Its hands upon our coun-
try. Place the control of the standard
money of the world in the hands of q few
great f1nanciers and times will be good for
them, no matter what distress may over
take the rest IF mankind. I believe that
John G. Carlisle did not exaggerate the
truth wehn he said: THE contamination
of this scheme means more of misery to
the human race han all the wars, pesti-
lences and fam.nes that ever occurred in
the history Of the world" Who does not
stand appalled, before misery like that?
Who among you is willing to be q partner
in a conspiracy that has for its object the
contamination of that scheme? It Is
against the contamination of this scheme
SO eloquently and so forcibly described
that the silver republicans have arisen in
protest. l respect the convictions which
have led them. l thank them for the u
port which they have rendered, and all
can promise is that / shall, to the best Of
my. ability, endeavor to prove worthy of
their confidence. (Applause.)
