You are here today not from idle curiosity
nor from any motive personal to myself. but
you are here because We are all citizens of
common country, who, in a few weeks will
be called upon through it's constitutional
forms to determine what party shall control
the government for the next four years and
what is more important, by what principles
ana politics such party shall be governed
enthusiastic cheering and cries of 1--WE
want the Republican party'') The Repub-
Hcan party stands today, as it has always
stood, opposed to the continuation of an
Industrial policy which cripples industries
at home. robs labor of it's just rewards and
supplies in sufficient revenues to run the
government. 1t stands opposed to any change
in our financial policy which would put us
upon silver basis and deprive us of the
use of both gold and silver currency.
(Cries of That's right.'0 Involved in the
contest too, is that fundamental question of
whether we are to have a government by
law. The Republican party stands now, as
always, for the maintenance of law and or
der and domestic tranquility.
There are two things which deeply and
personally interest workingmen: They
work and wages. They want steady work at
good wages They want American standard
applied to BOTH With steady work they
want to be paid in sound money. They do
not want to lose any part of their hard earn
ings through poor dollars and they do not
want to be paid in bad dollars, whose value

reports.

coinage of every character of metal and were

dustrial policy; Cheers and cries of ''Hur-
rah for McKinley.'') Remember that money is
never willingly idle. any more than labor is
willingly idle. If money is ever idle it is be-

fear is to insure business stability and bust

We cannot have the work if we do not have
wealth somewhere; and we cannot have

1t is grave error to suppose that you can
enhance values by diminishing the value Of
money-that you can increase the value Of
anything by changing its measure You can
no more do that than you can increase the
quantity by diminishing the measure. Gar
leld uttered great truth when speaking for
the resumption of specie payments He said:
In the name of every man who wants his
own, when he has earned it, I demand that
we do not make the wages Of the poor man
to shrivel in his hands after he has earned
them. (Applause.) But that his money shall
be made better and better until the plow-
holders money shall be as good as the bond
holders money. Cries of Good. good. y

one money for the rich and another for the
