these men say that If you will ADOPT
the free coinage of silver your STAN
dards of value will not be disturbed,
but that you will still have the gold
standard Of value, except it will be by
two yard sticks; the silver yard stick
and the gold yard stick will be Of the
same length, but you will have the
same standard of prices
But recollect that enterprise assumes
the capacity as the result Of a. single
measure; as the result Of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 1T assumes
that 49 cents of additional value can
be given to the silver dollar Now. 7
assert. as I have said before, that the
experience Of mankind is against it.
But the invitation Is to make the ex-
pertinent. See what a
STUPENDOUs UNDERTAKING
it is. 1t is not enough to say we will
produce that change in values in this
country, because every gentleman here
and / am delighted to know that I
am addressing an audience that are
familiar with the elements Of this sub
ject-you know that you cannot make
silver dollar in United States worth
more than the commercial value OF the
silver, and Mr.. Bryan comedies that
himself, because he says that the silver
bullion will be advanced to s1.28 an
ounces 1t is now worth Ga cents. He
comedies the premises from which /
reason. He claims that free coinage
will advance the value OF silver bullion
to $1.29 an ounce. So I say he admits
the premises. And you are invited to
enlist this country in an experiment
which, in order to make it successful,
you must make the silver of all the
world equal to s1.29 an ounce the coin
age value Of silver. You say Is that
true? Why, yes. The Cincinnati En-
quirer said the other day that when
the United States determines that 371A
grains Of silver shall be a dollar, no
man in the world will sell BIN grains
Of silver for less than a dollar. The
upon principles that you all under
stand. You know that If you were to
advance silver in this country to 10
cents an ounce 1t would set all the
silver in the world In motion to supply
that demand. Like the wheat; there is
a scarcity of wheat throughout the
world just now, and the wheat OF the
world Is put in motion in order to meet
that demand for consumption wherever
the demand exists.
If you were to advance silver bullion
in this country up to 10 cents, why,
the whole silver OF the world would
be put In mOtion In order to find this
better market. And ff 1t should con-
tnue to advance 1t would still come,

We were nominated for a number Of
reasons. One of them, more than any
thing else, was to signalize the con1-

fraternity and nationality all over the
United States. (Applause) That has
been SO far Illustrated that when we
first started on this expedition, we
visited the state Of Michigan, and,

fact that there Is now in this country

the march Of the sound money patriots
Eoth were composed Of patriots for
that matter, the one representing a
buried and the other a living issue.
Last nights demonstration was par
t1cipated In by over 10000 men, and
1t took an hour and three minutes for
the procession to pass the corner Of
Sixth and st. Peter streets.
All classes and conditions were rep-
resented The millionaire joined arm
in arm with his most humble enploye
and walked down the streets under the
gaze OF tens OF thousands of people.
Ihere were n1illiOnaires in that pro-
cession. There were men who draw
salaries nearly as large as that Of the
president Of the United States Thew.
walked In fellowship beside the ST. a.
day man, all representing common
cause.
Sound money enthusiasm bubbled ana
sparkled like suddenly uncorked bot
tie Of wine.
The railway men from general man.
ager down to engine wiper and car
cleaner presented an unbroken brigade
ct over 5000 men by careful estimate
The Knights Of the rail and the gem
eral office employees occupied a con-
spicuous place at the head Of the pro-
cession. Outside Of the University OF
Minnesota contingent they were the
noisiest and most enthusiastic Of the
lIIdICIlCIS.
Between the hours OF $40 and 9:15
o'clock the streets presented q won
derful picture. The, enthusiasm was
by no means confined to the marchers.
The influence OF the Mckinley senti-
ment pervaded all the spectators and
outside Of a few spasmodic Bryan
cheers, it was pre-eminently sound
money night.
The night taken as a whole, includ-
ing both the magnificent parade and
the wildly enthusiastic Auditorium
meeting, was perhaps the first and the
best actual test Of the sound money
sentiment In st. Paul during the cam
paign. No other political event OF the
past four months has brought it out
so clearly and unmistaka bly, Old poll
ticians and cool calculators who have
gone through the thing for many dec
ades say the parade Of last night ex-
celled anything they had ever seen be-
fore for enthusiasm and patriotism.
There was no serious hitch In the
arrangements. The end of the pro-
cessfoE started on time and before the
echoes Of the Immense aerial bombs
had ceased reyerberating against the
barren bluffs or the MisstssfpDi Then
from somewhere up near Rice park
there came blare OF tr11mpets and
the head Of the procession was In

and were given reception at the West
hotel. They addressed a crowd of en-
thusiastic and cordial listeners at the

speeches at the Lyceum theater.
The crowd which welcomed them at

We're followed by Congressman John F.
Irish, of California, who spoke for two
hours on the general issues of the
campaign, pointing out why he, as a
Democrat, cannot support Bryan
On the floor of the hall was gathered
as representative an audience as has
gathered in Minneapolis. 1t included
a number of those Democrats who val
ue their American citizenship above
partisanship, who will refuse to fol-
low their party when it would lead
them into a course which would injure
their country. Among those who sat
with the general audience was John C.
Oswald, the old Democratic leader and
many others of his class.
Shortly after o'clock the speakers
arrived, escorted by f. G. Winston,
Louis X. Hull, Judge A. Ueland Frank
B. Semple, George HI. Partridge and
F. G. Corser, w. A Lancaster and
others. The appearance of the white
hairs of old Gen. Palmer was a signal
for the outburst of cheers and right
royal was the welcome It did not stop
until long after Gen. Palmer and Gen.
Buckner had taken their seats and
again and again 1t was revived by D.
M. Chute, who kept asking: What are
we here for?" and urging forward the
welcoming hurrahs.
The sight of the two old Democratic
leaders, both over seventy-five and both
admirably preserved, was one long to
be remembered. The hair Of both is
silver white but that is as near the
silver doctrine that either Of them gets,
except to attack it. Their venerable
appearance was one which excited al
most universal respect and considera-
ton, as was evidenced when some ILL
bred Populists attempted to interfere
with Gen. Palmer's speech, which the
audience resented with threats to put
the disturbers out.

minds. tonight you have valued every
thing you have got and you have

proposition is on the part Of those who
advocate the free coinage Of silver; the
proposition Is that there shall be no

most enthusiastic political demonstra-
ton ever witnessed in the Northwest.
Underlying the noise and confusion
and holiday merriment, deep in the
hearts of all those thousands of voters
was the conviction that they, were per-
forming an act Of true patriotism. Ev-
cry man in that army Of torch-bearers
by his presence In the parade gave ex-
preston to the patriotic sentiment that
prompted the heroes CT 81 to respond
to their countrys call.
AS In 81, SO last night, the appeal
to American manhood was made by a
Lincoln. Robert Z. Lincoln, the orator,
aroused in his hearers the same SEN
timents that Abraham Lincoln, his
father, inspired in the breasts Of the
patriots OF thirty-five years ago.
Ten thousand men marched In the
ranks that were typical Of honest gov
ernment Seven thousand persons
crowded the Auditorium to cheer sound
money sentiments. Five thousand per-
sons struggled to hear the oratory Of
sound money speakers at Market hail.
Thousands OF citizens viewed the pa
rade and cheered each banner borne In
the ranks.
The parade was the largest, the most
enthusiastic, the best managed in the
history Of st. Paul. The business men
Of the city planned the demonstration
and contributed to its success by their
presence, as well as by bearing the
expense Of preparation. The demon
stration was a rebuke to the croakers
who have all along declared that bust
ness men are not patriots. 1t gave
denial to the assertion chat it was
Republican affair, for Democrats as
well as Republicans were in the ranks
and I'm the halls The Auditorium meet
Ing was more orderly, more representa-
tive Of the city's interest than the free
coinage gathering In the same hall two
weeks previous. The sentiments spoken
by the speakers last night were In
marked contrast to the utterances of
the orators OF two weeks ago The
demonstration, the addresses were the
EFFORTS or patriots and not partisans.
In every cheer was the inspiration that
promises national safety, knell ring
in the decadence OF the craze that
threatens national honor. There can be
no doubt OF the fate OF Organism In

nerced County's High License Order Is De-
c!ared Valid
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2l.-The supreme
court sustained today the high license
order of Merced county by decision in a
suit brought by the county against c. E.
Fleming to recover liquor license. The
action was brought to test the legality of
the ordinance. The judgment of the court
was for the county and Fleming appealed.
The most important law point on the
question involved was as to whether the
Judge erred in excluding evidence offered
by the defendant to prove that the effect
of the ordinance, if enforced. was to vir-
tualiy prohibit the retail traffic in liquors
in Merced county. The supreme court found
that the Judge did not err in excluding this
evidence. The court said that it was true
that the power to regulate for the purpose
of revenue was not the power to prohibit,
and that an attempt to accomplish the
latter object under pretense of regulation
could not he upheld. An ordinance that
provided for high revenue that was tanta-
mount to prohibition was invalid, but the
court had no right to judge of the general
effect of An ordinance by considering its
effect upon a single individual. The pre-
sumption is that the supervisors were ac-
tuated by good motives in passing the Or
der, and it is not to be supposed that, while
pretending to fix the tax for revenue, they
would make it prohibtory.

JUSTICE FIELD WILL STICK
Until His Term Exceeds That of JUS
tice Marshall
He Denies Any Promise to Step Down and
Expects to Retire When His
Health Fail

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says: "As-
sociate Justice Field will go upon the re-
tired list at the close of this term of the
supreme court if he keeps the promise he
made recently to the president and Sena-
tor White of California. The senator is
the authority for the above statement, and
for the information that Justice Fields
successor has been practically agreed upon
in the person of Judge Erskine M. Ross,
whom President Cleveland in his first term
appointed to the United States circuit
bench in California. Judge Ross nomina-
ton will be satisfactory to Justice Field.
Senator White brought about reconcilia-
ton between the president and justice, en-
acted recently at the White House.
HE WON'T RESIGN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-When Justice
Field was asked today regarding the report
that he would retire at the end of his term ,
he said: mo such statement has been
authorized by me. OF course a man at my
time of life may retire from the bench at
any time. If my health should not permit
of my attending to my duties easily |
should not hesitate to leave the bench. AS
long as l can attend to these duties with
ease have no intention of retiring. At
present my health is very good. Should
again be ill as l was last year | should not
hesitate to retire. These stories in regard
to my intention of retiring have been cir
culated repeatedly, but without any au-
thority."
1t is generally understood that Justice
Field is ambitious TO exceed the term of
service of Chief Justice Marshall, whose
thirty-four and half years on the supreme
bench constitutes the longest term of serv-
l.. g a.
Field was appointed by President Lincoln
in March, 1868
