size in the world. and that upon the earth
within the limits of this county there fell
more dead and wounded than ever fell on
similar space in all the history of the
world. Here opposing lines were drawn up
face to face: here opposing armies met and
stared at each other and then sought to
take each others lives. but all those scenes
have passed away and those who met In
deadly array now meet and commfngle here
as friends (Applause)
Here the plcw share has been made out
of the sword and spears have been con-
verted into pruning hooks. and people
learn war no more. Here the bands on
either side stir up the tagging zeal with
notes that thrill the hearts of men. These
two bands are now component parts of one
great band. and as that band in the lead
plays Yankee Doodle and Dixie too zap

Surpassed WashinHtOn's Feat.
Il am glad to visit this historic place.
Here George Washington once came and
| threw silver dollar across the river. but
renember. my friends. that when he threw
that dollar across the river it lit. 1t fell
and remained in American soil. Gap
plause) They thought that it was great
feat then. but We have developed so rap
idly in the last hundred years that
have financ!ers now who can leave George
Washington's achievement far behind. We
have financiers who have been able to
throw gold dollars all the way across the
Atlantic and then bring them back by an
Issue of bonds. (Great applause)
Would you believe 1t. my friends. that
silver dollar which was good enough to
be handled by the father of his country is
now so mean thing as to excite the con-
tempt OF many of OUR so-called financters?
cSo no.
Dollar That VIII Stay at Home.
We'll. 1t Is. 1t is mean that they
don't like it. Why. our opponents tell us
that they want dollar that will go all
over the world. We have had dollars
which have gone over the world so rapidly
that we want dollar that will stay at
home without curfew law. (Applause.)
Our opponents tell us that they want dol
lar which they can see anywhere in the
world If they travel abroad. am not so
much worried about our dollars which
| travel abroad. l want a dollar that won't

| Great applause)
People can have just as good dollar as
| they want because dollars are creatures of
| law, and you can determine the purchas-
| ing power Of a dollar when you determine
| the number of dollars. II you want them
| dear. make them scarce and they will be
| dear. If our dollars are not good enough
| now. when a dollar will buy ten bushels of
| oats. you can make 1t good enough-so good
| it will buy 100 bushels of oats Ca voice,
| We don't want that kind of dollar.) If
! anybody here has been raising farm prod
| ucts and complaining because they are not
! cheap enough, you can make them cheaper
