HIS CONCORDIA PARK SPEECH.
Cuucordia Park:
1 want to suggest a few propositions
for you 10 bear III II ind III the discussion
Df the money question Our opponents
tell us that We are going in the face Of
natural laws. l assert that he advocates
campaign VINO base their arguments upon
natural laws.
Tine law of supply and demand is the
great law OF tr:iue ana we apply the law
OF supply and demand 10 the III OEey question
ana say tnat when you increase the demand
for gold you raise its price just as you
raiste hc pnce ofanythinS else by increa slng
the demand FOR it, and that when you raise
the price OF ro,dIn gold standa rd country,
you lower the price OF all the products OF
which are measured by money.
An han fr1lt
prices. and falling prices mean hard times
to rybody except the man who owns
money ana trades IN money. Now, If the
money owner has the right to use the
ballot to raise the value OF money he OWLS,
why haven't all the rest Of the people Il
right to use the ballot TO keep gold from
destroying the property which they own?
SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
Now, another application OF the law Of
supply and demand. Our oIEoncnts talk
recognize the fact that the moment the
mipts Of the United states are opened TO
the free coinage Of silver so that TU,l l0O.-
900 OF people can go out and seclre silver,
take il to the mint and convert II INTO
money and use that money 10 pay taxes
and debts with and for the purchase of
property they refuse to recognize, say,
that the opening OF our mints increases
the demand for silver and raises the price
Jf silver Is measured by gold. ! say they
refuse 10 recognize that TACT. Why should
tHty. IL II AtisIurc ubll CuliDTentnu
tire funnatnental principles which under
lie 1T belief, or do they understand them?
Now, another proposition We believe
not only that free coinage OF silver Will
raise the value of silver bullion, as |
measured by gold, but, we believe that |
he demand created 10y the opening of the
United states ndnts would be sufficient |
to take all surplus silver. and there being |
then no silver upon the market which |
cannot be converted into money at our |
niints to use in the development of our |
industries; ee will u. be ,.s,, no silver in the
than Sl-2s per ounce in gold. |
PRICES AND DEBTS.
Under the gold standard prices have |
gone down, but debts have not gone |
iown, anu you have destroyed the equity |
man has Lad in his property, and he is |
'uying his property over to satisfy the
nan who has the mortgage. When they
ell you that man vuEst he Indifferent |
iDOut IaiiiS prices because when prices
ire low lie pd Us less for wnat he buys, YOU
ell them mat there are certain liked
harges that do not go down, and, there
ore, the margin between wnat he sells
anu wnit ne owes grows less AMI less, and
caves him less and less IOr living ex-
)enses.'
