Doesn't Believe In Cheap Money.
"A belief in cheap none is no part
Or Democratic teachings. 1t is a part
Of our creed that the dollar unit of
coinage OF both metals must be equal
intrinsic exchangeable value" We

After quoting the declarations of
the Democratic party in the four ma
tlonal conventions preceding that which
nominated Bryan. Mr.. Stevenson asked !:
is it too much then to claim that in
giving our support to the nominee Of
the Chicago convention we are keeping
the faith? The charge of recreancy to
party does not lie at our doors We
believe that the election of the Demo-
cratic president and congress will Sc
cure the restoration of silver to the pc.
sition of standard money of the country
that designed for il by the founders
of the government.
The destruction of silver as money
and establishing gold as the sole unit of
value must have a ruinous effect on all
forms of property except those invest.
ments which yield a fixed return in
money. Those would be enormously
disproportionare -..a uns. gam
over every other species Of property.
No power was conferred on congress to
declare either metal should not be
money. Congress has, therefore. in my
judgment. no power to demonetlze
either. If, therefore, silver has been
demonetized, I am in favor of remone-
tizing it.
Either bimetallism is right or 1t is
not. If it is right why should we wait

countries to establish it. The Repub-
lican party weakly confesses the justice
of b%imetallism in its platform favoring
international free coinage. Why should
we bide the time Of England, who has
had q single gold standard for three
quarters Of q century, to change her
policy? To accomplish this desirable
reform we turn to the great historic
party Of the republic the party which
came in with Jefferson and which
for 60 years controlled the destiny OF
the nation the party which in all
periods of our history has been the bull.

When Vice President Stevenson hac
finished, Governor Stone of Missouri
was introduced. He excused himself
from making an extended speech. as HI
had contracted q severe cold and coult
not talk. It was his duty to welcome
the Democratic clubs to Missouri. HI
did not think such a speech was neces
sary. All Democrats knew they wer'
welcome to the old State Of Missouri
He then proceeded to formally welcome
the delegates to the State of Missouri
of which he is governor.
At the conclusion of Governor Stone
address of welcome, several unimport
ant resolutions regarding the rules gov
erning the convention were adopte'
after which Congressman Newland
of Nevada was introduced. He ad
