money the master and all things else
the servant (Applause9 In 1890 when
Mr.. Mckinley was supporting, the Sher-
man law, he made a speech in congress
In which he defended thai law on the
grsund thattt added thirty millions a
year increase of circulation to the VOL
ume of our money. Yet, now, when In
stead of having an increase in our cir
culation annually, we have in circula-
ton $3.50, 000, 600 less than we had two
years ago.. / say now, in the presence
Of a decreasing circulation, he said ut
Is not more money we need. but to put
the money we have to work Gap
plause.93 My friends, the principles of
political conom do not change as Of
ten as Politicians. Ono. that is right"
Applause.) The science of money is
more stable than the Judgment of men,;
and what was true six years ago when
Mr.. Mckinley stated IL. is true now,
although he refuses to state it. Gilt
him again" Applause.)
BUSINESS OUT OF POLITICS.
In this western country I am gratified
that so many haye heretofore voted
the republican ticket who are this year
going to stand for the money of the
constitution. My friends, this campaign
SllcWS LII NV ihSiliiS iiIiOIS Liz people,.
Heretofore we have allowed our finan-
ciers to use their ballots to advance
their business, while the most of the
people have been told to swallow any
thing that the platform contained, but
this year a great many people are go
ing to make a business out of politics.; q
great many who have small businesses
are going to remember their business,
their families n their homes, when
they go to the ballot box, n they are
going to vote to drive out of this coun-
try the foreign policy that they are at
tempting to fasten onthe American peo-
pie. (Applause.)
Our opponents seem to have a con-
tempt for the intelligence OF the farm
ers of the west; they tell us that the
farmers have no idea on the money
question. h eastern financiers say,
money question:" "a Voice: They will
find out.) They say, why. these farm
ers have had enough money in all
their lives to give them any idea on the
money question:, and unless they may
have an idea in the future, we expect
them to have less money in the future
than they have now"
FARMERS HAVE STUDIED 1T.
Ny friends. u people have studied
have studied the principles of finance
more han the New York ~tinanciers
have. GA Voice: That's what they
have.) 1t is said that necessity is the
mother of Invention, and the farmers Of
this western country LAY been COM
PEELED to study and find out what is the
matter with their condition. We do not
expect men who are profiting by a rising
standard to become alarmed at the con
dition of the country; they are doing
we'll enough, and while they are doing
well enough you cannot convince them
that anybody else is suffering. All, my
friends, If the New York fnanciers do
not understand the gold standard. I bid
them ask the farmers wife VIA the
gold standard means. She can tell
them. "a Voice: You bet she CAM She
knows because she has witnessed the
fall In the farmers income. and, know
ing that taxes do not go down, that
debts do not go down, that ixed charges
do no go down, she knows tina the
economizlng must be done in the living
expenses; h kno s that our taxes will
not wait, that debts will not wait, that
interest will not wait, but If the wife
needs something she can wait, If the
children need something they can wait,
and this waiting has gone on, and on
and on, until the people have grown
weary OF waiting. The gold standard,
instead OF being a just measure of de-
ferred payments. has become a mea-
sure of deferred hope, and "hope de-
ferred maketll the heart sick" ZAP
