WHICH ArKINLEY?
my friend has declared his preference
for Mckinley / want 10 ask him which
Mckinley he is for--the Mckinley OF 1880
or the Mckinley Of 1896. Great applause
I'm 1870 Mckinley said But all agree
that we must have larger volume OF
money. aud that the added volume shal
Doe silver. or its equivalent based on sii-
tAt that time we were putting into cir
culation about S2i 10000 a year under the
Bland act. and Mr. Mckinley advocatedi
the sherman act on the ground that IL !
would increase the amount OF money 10 I,
be put into circulation among the people.
"'We propose 10 give TO this country
what gentlemen upon the other side OF
the House could not do. what they did |
not dare 10 do. for four years. We pro- !
pose TO give TO the country a silver bill |
that will take all Of the silver. Dracti- |
cailv of the United states. and make it |
available for the use Of the people.
Again he said so. Mr.. Speaker, this !
bin IS just TO the silver producers of the |
United States for 10 does what the pres |
ent law. as demonstrated by every admin |
istration for ten years. has not done. IL !
takes every dollar OF silver bullion that
IS purchased in the United States and |
places II at the disposal OF the people as
"rhat was the Mckinley Of 1890. Let
me read you the Mckinley Of 1896: 1T IS |
not more money we want. What we want
Is TO put all the money we have already
al work In 1880. when he advocated |
more money. we had already added S4
10000 TO the circulation each year. This
year we have no such provision We |
have reDealcd the Sherman law and !
Band act Mr.. Mckinley said i'm 1891 that
Mr Cleveland had been discriminating |
against silver. had been trying 10 degrade |
A.. Ind been trying to contract the cur |
scncy. and that by lessening the currency
he made money dearer by making IL
scarce and making money the master
ana All things else the servant. II IL was !
wrong for Mr Cleveland to make money
dear by making n scarce. and money the |
master and aH things else the servant is
IL right for Mr.. Mckinley TO try 10 make
money the master and all things else the
servant? applause and cries Of mo.
1--WE can suppor, every contention we
make by quoting Republican authorities.
and. therefore, Republicans who come 10 |
us-in this camnalgl DO not change their /
convictions. Ihey simply change their !
party name when their party has aban-
doned the position 10 use1 10 have and
now demands that he shall surrender the |
convictions OF lifetime. Great APP
