MY friends, the test OF the policy is it's
operation. We have tried to point out wnai
the gold standard has done; what tho gold
standard was doing. but the fault was laid
on the tariff law. Why, II We talk about
what legislation could do for SILVER. these
men tell us the law could cot do suy,hing.
Legislation was incompetent. ard as soon
as they convince the Republic that ivgis-
lation was powerless TO accomplish any
Thing, they then Convince the people lnat
little law respecting the tariff would ac.
complish everything. liaugntcr ANA ap-

1t gislation Is impotent on the none,
que stion and impotent on the tariff Luas-
ton; that has been the slogan OF this
campaign. That you could not raise the
value OF silver b. law, bu; yet when they
come to discuss the tariff question They
have asserted that you could raise the
price of wages by Jaw, tnat you could false
the price OF the farmers products by pro-
teCtiSe law.
MY friends, we will have a chance to see
them as they carry these theories into rae
tice. We have said that those who had the
support OF the great corporations in his
country would not be in position after
election to enforce the laws against GER
poratiuns and make them respect the II ,hts
of the people. We shall see. Now that sue
cess has been accomplished, We have said
that the american people were injured by
the existence OF trusts
now, | wait to suggest to those who
are going to contiuu. the organization of
these clubs that they meet at stated times,
say once Il month. or at such times as the
members OF The club may decide and that
at these meetings they discuss public ques-
items believe, my friends, that the pub
Ice servant ought 20 live continually under
INC eye oil the master whom they serve. /
believe thai the people. when they elect Il
uldn to o,tte. should watch his every act
AID discuss his every vote and speech In
order HAT they may know whether he is a
man to be 'mplus,d IN that Ousin,as o..
not tAupiause.l
and, therefore. say to you that these
clubs can lind ample employment Of their
time If they Will discuss from month to
month from meeting to meeting, the va
rious questions which arise and interest
the American people. You tell me that Is
agitation? Why, say to you. my friends
that when you 60 into nation where
there is no agitation of public questions
among the people you will find nation
where few men can prey undisturbed
upon all the rest OF the people.
81 understand from the papers that the
chairman Of the republican National com
mittee suggested that they also will keep
up their organization am glad of it.
| have never advised those who believed
me to do anything that would not advise
my opponents TO do. ard when | advise
our people TO keep orsa"iaed and to keen
discuss ng | advise our opponents to do
the same thing. because If they would
discuss more they would really help us"
