of the currency OF the United States.
The only way the farmers can be i,cnt-
fitted is through larger consuming class.
The Dhnts will not furnish the farmers with
more consumers. He has tbemost profitable
market for what he produces at home, and
not abroad Ueis met in the marketsof the
world by the products of other lands be-
You'd the sea. The only market he can rely
upon every day OF the year Is the Ameri-
can market: and what he wants to know
is how to make that market the best. He
cannot do it by closing the mills. He
cannot do It by putting out the fires OF
our furnaces He cannot do il by taking
business away from the great railroad
lines OF the country.
He can only improve the American
market by favoring policy that will put
every man to work who lives beneath our
flag, and keeping them at work at living
wages; not the wage scale OF some other
nation OF the world, but the America
scale-the best in the world. And you
cannot improve that market by destroying
the credit OF the country, for the credit 81
the country lies At the foundation Of capital
and prosperity
The moment you have destroyed the
credit OF the coU ntry, you have taken away
from the manu- fa cturers the ability to get
money with which to conduct his business,
he cannot employ men; and when he does
not employ men, he does not pay wages
and when men do not receive wages, they
have no wages To spend; and when they

The railroads of the country make
business They consume so 900 900 tons
OF coal year That's what you engineers
burn every twelve months. What does
that do? tCries Of 1T Gives work.
Yes, IL gives you employment while you
are burning IL; II gives the Thousands Of
miners employment while they are digging
it. That is the kind OF a policy We adj
vocate. Let everybody help evcrytod
else.
Il DO not believe that the railroad men
will ever consent Ia having their savings
cut in two, OF their insurance moEey paid
at the rate OF 81 cents ON the dollar. tCries
OF no, no. Nor will they be satisfied to
receive their wages in anything but n

while they are talking about the cred
itors of this country. they are animadvert-
ing against them. Who are the creditors
Of this country? They are the men who
labor In this country. The greatest cred
!tors of this country today are the work
ingmeD.
Aside from W hat is due them upon invest
ment and savings their current wages make
them the largest creditor class 10 the United
States. Tie employers Of this country owe
their employees every thirty days, iU good
times, more than the bonded Indebtedness
OF the CDited States. Nearly $500 000.-
coo are paid out annually to the railroad
employees alone. Does the railroad EN-
ploye propose TO aid any party to enact
25 to 30 per cent i n the name of a cheap
Legislation which VIII cut his pay roll from
dollar:
Il have seen IL stated somewhere that
II the 760. coo railroad employees in. the
United States about I 8 per cent are voters.
I cannot h,s mistaken when ! express Tire
telief that these men will not cast their
votes in favor OF a detased currency and
the reputation either OF public or private
obligations.
Nothing marks the wonderful progress
of the country more than does the railroad
business In 1890 46l coo men We're en-
ployed in the railroad business. In 1890,
7ot. O06 1t has been stated by some Of the
le lers of the Democratic party that free
coinage of silver would raise the price of
silver from Go cents an ounce, the present
market price to 81 % an ounce, or, in other
words. make 53 cents worth of silver actu-
allv worth one hundred cents. l do not
believe it Do Won?
THE FIAT PROPOSITION
at do not believe that the free coinage
of the silver product OF the Cnited States
or the free coinage OF the silver product
of tie world with the fiat Of the Govern
ment Of the United States could make
thing worth only 90 cents wortha hundred
cents.
such proposition is contradicted by
reason and experience and opposed To
common sense and the plain principles OF
old fashioned honesty.
II ann glad TO know that the great state
of Indiana the State 'of Harrison, AID
Morton, will stand this year, as it has
stood in all the years of the past, Zoe Ia
country and the country's honor, AMI Cor
a policy that will give Ia the American
people the largest prosperity in their
homes, the greatest development OF th,ir
resources and highest credit OF the 20 :-.ri-
ment.
