Mr. Carlisle said in his judgment 1t WONG
be unsafe for the government to exercise
that right because other secretaries o.
I the treasury had established precedent
and that precedent was that the note
holders should be, permitted to deslsnate

bonds was unnecessary. 1t was s1nlpis
the bonds were issued because the secre.

Mr. Bryan said: :

son why we. should make any change II
legislation If our present CONDITION II
satisfactory then we ought to leave II
alone and not make change. NO one
Iation except on the theory that there is
something that needs remedylng. our op.
moments confess the condition ana when
tell YOU that you cannot remedy the pres
ent condition, except by financial legis-
lation, our opponents tell us that inc
trouble is in the tariff question, ana tha'
If we could Just have more tafift-,,then
not Il C.CC
read YOU an extract from a speech made
on last Saturday by the Republican can
didate for president at Canton. He SAID
s.IInder the Republican protective policy
we enjoyed for more than thirty years
the most marvellous prosperity that has
yer been given to any natlon OF tne
world. We not only had indivtduat pros
perity, but we had national prosperity.
MS NOW there is a statement made, within
+ week by the presidential candidate or
sfhe Republican ticket pointing hack fo1
thirty years from 1860 to 1890 and teHns
the people that during that period we en-
ioyed the most marvellous prosperity o.
,8tiy .nation in the world, and that WE
had both Individual prosperity ana ma
,tional prosperity. I want to show yor
how distance lends enchantment to the
view I want to show you by this same
witness very testimony given Six years
ago that after thirty years Of; his -kinG
OF policy the farmers of this, country
were not prosperous AZ. -,
3. If you take the report filed with the
Mckinley bill on the 18th Of April, 1890
ayou will find the words which wish tt
quote: tThat there is Widespread de.
preston in this industry today cannot be
doubted speaking of agriculture, THAI
us what the presidential candidate said
when he deliberately wrote the report anG
tiled it with his, proposed legislation
s.That there Is widespread depression If
this; industry today cannot be doubted
& (Applause) Again in that same report he
eaids zone of the chief complaints now
Ecan get TO price for their crops at al
Il commensurate with the labor and capita
Invested In their production -.
EssThat is what he said after thirty year:
ZOE the kind of policy which she candidate
ssof. the Republican party says will bring
.you prosperity. 1--WE have not believed
( that our people, already suffering from
B low prices, can or will be satisfied with
Legislation which, will result in lower
prices. No country ever suffered whe1
prices were fairly remunerative in every
B field Of labor"
After thirty years of that kind Of policy
1 he tells you thatathe people are stuff rinE
{ from low prices and that no country -evel
suffered when prices were fairly remun
serative in every field Of labor. Now LEI
me read what he says in this same report
ssThis great industry" speaking of agri
4 culture, ''is foremost in magnitude anC
\ importance In. our country. It's success
d and prosperity are vital to the nation. NJ
i prosperity is possible to other industries
NE agriculture langufsh."
That is what he said In 1890, that there
w AS depressioni II. agriculture after thirty
sssvpears Of his policy and that without nias
