not have to make in this country That
if you make il over there there is an
increased demand for labor-over

Ia borrower here. That is what the Ia
boring man has learned. The farmer
has learned something too. Times have
been pretty hard on him. He is selling
his products at the cheapest price ever
known since before the war. He has
found out that to have good demand
and TO get good prices for his product
he must have a good home market.
UNCLE SAM HIMSELF.
"And then there is Uncle Sam HIM
self. He has found out something. In
the twenty-seven years of the Repub-
lican party's control of ehis country. af-
ter the close of the war down to 1892,
we paid off and cancelled forever more
than s1,700, 900, 600 OF the public debt.
During the three years and a fraction
of the Democratic free trade rule, they
have paid off nothing but have increas-
ed the public debt by more than $751;

lating how long at that rate il will take
him to get out of debt He has made
UP his mind, like some other people did
in 1892, that he wants a change. and
he will have a change just as soon as
the law and the constitution will allow
it.
JOHN VERSUS MARY.
Now, my fellow citizens, I would
rather take the Judgment of John Sher-
man on financial propositions than the
judgment OF Mary Eellen Lease.
would rather on a profound constitu-
tional or financial question, follow the
leadership of Benjamin Harrison than
that OF ''Pftchfork" Tillman- 1 would
rather trust Governor Bushnell than
Governor HOgg, no matter how fat he
may be. And / would rather follow the
leadership of gallant Governor McKin-
ley with all these great Representative
of sound money. sound protection, sound
patriotism and sound everything else,
supporting him, than to take 1.-The Boy
Orator of the Platte, with all of these
other people controlling him. 1 read a

MADE AND UNMADE
As closed the reading OF it I had
another thought about him. I said
aloud, 'Mr Bryan made himself by one
speech, and now he has unnade himself

No man will eyer be made president Of
the United States upon that speech.
What is the nature of the case2 There
is a great effort being made 70 create
the impression that the Republican has
changed dts position in regard to this
matter. That is not true. The Repub-
lican party has not changed. 1t is more
explicit in its declarations this year
than ever before, because the circum-
stances We're such as to require more
explicit decla ration that the Republican
party had declared for identically the
same thing it declared for in 1892.

declaration in 1896 are both declara tons

TWO MEXICAN DOLLARS.
The speaker then produced two Next
can dollars which he said ne had bought
ON the street with one American silver
dollar, containing six grains less of
pure silver than either OF the Mexican
dollars. but backed up by the promise
OF the United States 10 main tain II at a
parity with gold. Continuing, he
praised the Republican party's financial
policy, which, he said, had made the
currency OF the United States, whether
of paper, silver or gold, worth its face
the world over.
He said there had never been any
complaint about our money, or any
trouble about the gold reserve until the
Democratic party under Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration and tariff policy
which put the government in the posi-
ton of paying out more money for its
running expenses than could be collect
ed under the tariff and revenue sched-
ules.
In conclusion he said: "Now my fel-
low-citizens, the best remedy for this
whole trouble is to put the Republican
party hack in power; restore the policy
Of a protective tariff, re-inaugurate the
policy of reciprocity. and give 10 the
American people an economic admins
ton under which the government would
have enough revenue TO live and re-
main in business in this country and
every lsborer finds something TO do"
