siR:-Iiaylng treated the question OF
money thus fur. we now come to the
point where 1t becomes DESTROYS TO
know how to get II. Mr.. Bryan has said
that by electlng, the free silver ticket,
the price of silver viii be advanced
TO 81 20 per ounce, but fails TO tell how
II Is to be. done. However, suppose Il
does advance by legislation, will It make
marketfor us, twill Il open market
for the rest OF the world? How are you
TO be benefited? II the mills and fact!r-
les are lille and you are out OF work,

IN 1892 the Democratic. party prom
ised. II put In power. that we would
have good times, the like OF which had
never been seen before. They argued
nnd worked on the line OF free trade
policy, insisting that We were so bur-
dened with taxation, arising from n
protective tariff, that everything we
had to eat or wear, was taxed far be-
You'd any reasonable limit. Knowing
+ full well that SO many years had gone
by since We had tried low tariff, they
were able TO present very plausible theo-
ries In behalf OF their cause. They
knew full well that the prosperity Of
1881 and 1892 waa good enough to show
that, by continuing on that line, the
times would have kept on steadily In
creaslng In prosperity. But being out
OF power. or rather only partially In
power they knew that strong argu-
ments must be used to help them. ~ &
They knew that as a people over so
per cent of the population OF 1892. were
not living, or In this country in 1857, and
knowing that, they knew there We're but
few to argue against their fallacles from
the actual experiences OF the effect.
They gained their point, got Into
power, and right from the start COM
menced on the plan for n general all
round reduction of tariff duties. Capt.
tai began to grow timid, Industries be-
gan to lanSuish, the number of hands
employed began to grow less, but still
the tariff must come down and our
ports opened 10 the advancement OF the
foreign factories and the betterment OF
labor of other countries, all working
steadily but surely against the best in
terests OF our home industries. our own
people.
Who benefited by a lower tariff? Did
you? No, but the ones who did benefit
are of class, who. II they must have
their clothes. their silks and laces made
In the old world, can full afford to pay
for them, whether the tariff be high or
low, and OF foreign make they will have
them.
You want good articles but you want
the means 10 by with: You can make
them at home but must have sufficient
tariff to give protection to the home in
dustry. II you have not that protection,
you cannot get the work. II you have
no work. you cannot get the money;
without the money you cannot buy, but
you can have 4 tariff for revenue only
that has. been and will continue to pro-
duce a deficit. You all know what you
have gone through with during the past
three years. Now, Is 1t not high time
TO bring about Il change? You can do 1t,
IL you will give your ballot In the right
place November Srd, for protection and
prosperity. For tariff that shall be
for revenue and protection. not merely
for some particular Industry. but one
that will start the wheels OF every idle
plant and put to work again every idle
man in the land.
Drop all fear OF over-productlon. 1t
may come, It may not. and from the
present conditions OF most all stocks,
except imported goods. I think 1t will be
a long time before the cry of over-pro-
duction can honestly be used, II all OF
our people have work, for that means
increased power OF consumption. and It
Is the only way that power can be
brought about.
