SUPPOSE that in 1892 a free-siiver
president and congress had been elected
and unlimited coinage at l6 TO inau-
guarted. Then suppose that these
things had followed: The industry of
the country sandbagged, workingmen
thrown ont employment by the million,
farmers unable to sell their produce at a
profit, bankruptcy hanging over
countless thousands, banks everywhere
so neal the verge OF insolvency owing to
depreciation in values that to press their
debtors would mean ruin to thems, Ives,
our bond obligations increased by $262,-
600. 900 to keep gold in the treasury,
payment of the public debt stopped, and
deficit in the revenue of $l2. 600, 600
a month piled up-suppose all this un-
der a silver administration. and who
would there now be tn question that
our manifold calamities had been
brought upon us by free coinage?
All these disasters have befallen under
a gold administration, and why should
not the gold standard be changed with
thems Present facts are better guides
than the Vaccinations of prophets of
evil. Let the defenders of gold mono
metallism tell why it is that while their
money system has been in existence the
country has SO suffered
As the gold men promise the people
| nothing more cheering than continu
ance of this distress breeding system il
is not clear why the people should rise
with enthusiasm to vote for another four
years of the gold standard and hard
/ times.

Harrisburg, September 5th, 1887:
Resolved, That the long and sue
cessful existence, under the laws of con-
gress, of the gold and silver standard,
warrants us in demanding the early re-
peal of the legislation which demone-
tized silver, and established an almost
exclusive gold standard; and we there
fore favor a return of the free and unre-
stricted coinage of the dollar of 1898 and
its restoration to the position it held as
a legal tender during the so years of our
national existence, thus preserving the
equality of the commercial value of the
silver dollar with the gold dollar, keep
ing both in circulation"
