who are suffering from a flood of money.
(Great laughter and applause.) But they
say how can this money be of any ad-
vantage? Every producer has something
to sell, but he can get nothing unless the
people have money to buy Our oppon-
ents say open the mills. They cannot
unless the people have money with
which to buy The mills could be opened
now if the people could buy what they
produce. But when the farmer can only
sell his crop for enough to pay his taxes
he has nothing left to spend. Instead
of increasing the supply of money and
restoring the parity between property
and money they purpose that we shall
continue under this system that makes
prices fall. They go on the theory that
the syndicates can bleed the people with
out being noticed until they have bled
them all they want TO. They are like
man of whom it was told that he lived
in a swamp where mosquitoes were ter
ribly thick I: was said they never
bothered him because by night he was
so drunk he could not feel them and by
morning they were so drunk they could
not hurt him. daughter and applause.)
The people have suffered much without
complaint, but I believe they have now
reached the poin: where they can be
bled no longer (Great cheers.)
my friends, our opponents offer no
relief. They only say that we shall turn
our affairs over to our creditors and al
low them to shape our financial policy
for us. I cannot see how any man can
place any other construction on the st.
Louis platform. If a foreign enemy were
to come to our shores we could enlist
thousands Of men here tonight to repel
them. Today an enemy has approached
our shores and found footing among
us-not an enemy Of flesh and blood but
as dangerous as an army with it's ban
ners and ornaments. They have estab-
lished here their financial policy and
say that it shall stay until they get ready
to change it, My friends, ask you to-
night to put such ballot in the box as
will drive the gold standard from the
United States never to come back again.
CHEERS and applause.)
NO FOREIGN POLICY.
"Withou: an independent financial poll
cy we cannot have an American policy.
They say that we can have foreign poll
cy of our own, but I tell you that SO
long as we stand on a golden base that
can be withdrawn from under us at any
time we cannot have a foreign policy Of
our own. We can do nothing without
the consent Of those foreigners who
shape our policy. We must be a nation
by ourselves or annex ourselves to some
nation that shall be employed to take
care of us. If we are not able to take
care of ourselves we should get guar
dian and petition him to keep others off.

made for such times as this. The op~
pressor and the oppressed may walk up
TO the voting place, but there the op-
pressor steps aside and the voter goes in
alone and registers a free mans will.
But, my friends, I cannot detain you
much longer. (Cries Of "Go on.) Well,
them let me put it another way, and say
1 cannot let you detain me much longer.
(Laughter.) We are not asking any man
to vote our ticket against his will. We
are not seeking votes that are not volun-
tarily given, and we have such faith in
the cause, and in our argument, that we
are willing to let it rest with the people.
Tremendous applause) We have not
commenced this warfare for amusement.
We have undertaken it because we be-
lieve bimetallism to be essential to the
welfare OF the nation, and it will con-
tlnue until lit is won.
GLAD HE is SO YOUNG.
"They tell you am young. I am glad
that I am young, because I have many
more years before me to fight for this
principle But I want them to under
L
years. there will be no child's play in this
campaign, and we are prepared to contest
every inch of the ground. applause and
cheers) We ask no quarter, and we
shall give NO quarter. If anybody leaves
US because he thinks We are wrong, we'll
and good, but if any Democrat deserts
US I want him to understand that he
must take his baggage with him. (Great
cheers) We have engaged In battle
royal between the money power and the
people, and any Democrat who deserts
US now, if he wants to come back must
come in sackcloth and ashes and bring
forth fruits of repentance to get back
into his ia ther's house. We do not at
tempt to hold any man against his con-
science, but we want any man who leaves
us to find his reason i'm his head and
heart and not find it in his pocketbook,
and then, call us anarchists. (Applause.)
I'VE welcome to the support Of our
cause all people, regardless OF former
party aft1lla tlons. When the Populist
comes we recognize his party as among
the first that called attention to the
danger of the single gold standard.
(Great applause.) When the Republican
comes we recognize. that he is stand
ing where his party used to stand, and
he is dearer to us than any Democrat who
has turned to betray his party.
1.-The American is equal to every emer-
gency. He has never been called to a
position Of responsibility without fulfill
ing it. In this great hour and in this
great contest have faith that the same
intelligence and fidelity to duty and coun-
try which has always been characteristic
of them will guide them now. And I
firmly believe that they will record VIC

lightness of morals. On the expiration
of our term OF enlistment. in 1863, two
sergeants Ct the company recruited a
command for the veterans cavalry serv-
ice. They had the pick of 500 appli-
cants recently mustered out from the
two years regiments and chose their
men strictly with regard to their prevl'
GUS records as gallant soldiers. When
the men came together i'll camp, it ap-
peared that there was not one among
the 100 veterans SO selected who used
p~rofane or vulgar language.
A moments reflection mist convince
every intelligent person that violent
language is subversive of all true disci-
pline, and a successful army without
discipline is an impossibility in this
age. The article of war prescribing
profanity, promulgated, as it was. to
every new command and read on parade
annually at least, was a protection for
the soldier and a moral weapon for the
officer. The soldier could insist upon its
observance by his superiors. On the
other hand, he weakened his own cause
whenever he violated the law himself.
At first blush the article seemed to
many obsolete and ridiculous and was
generally received as a relic of Puritan
days. But the more onerous and exact
ing a rule the more it is studied and
analysed. Men of fixed habits obeyed
readily, setting a good example. In the
end wilder spirits found that obedience
was easier than resistance. Thus at the
very outset the law of God was impressed
upon the understanding of all who
hadn't it written in their hearts,
