PROSPECT GROWS MORE PLEASING.
The principle speech OF the evening wac
delivered by y. Rosewater, whose appearance
was the signal for prolonged applause. He
said that we were approaching the end OF a
campaign OF education and the nearer the
day approached the more hopeful was the
prospect There was continually increasing
confidence that the result that would restore
prosperity and send money into the chan.
nels OF trade would certainly come to pass
There were differences OF opinion among
workingmen on this question, as on other
questions. but they should consider 1t from
the standpoint of citizens who were interested
in the prosperity of their country and the
welfare OF the individual. There were all
sorts OF nostrums in the world. The columns
OF the daily papers were full of advertise
ments OF remedies that were guaranteed ia
cure everything from consumption to liver
complaint. II seemed surprising that any
one would be gulled by such claims. but the
fact remained that there were thousands
who contributed to support these quacks. II

MONEY NOT A CREATURE OF LAW.
Regarding the contention of the free sill
yer orators that money could be created by
law Mr.. Rosewater called attention to the
fact that money had existed long before
the first laws were formulated The stand
ara or money must contain In itself the
value at which 1t was held The poorer
the nation the poorer was 1t standard of
money. 1t was as easy for congress to
create bushel OF corn by resolution as
to create value by the same means. 1t had
always been the object of monetary legis-
iation to have the intrinsic value of coin
represent as nearly as possible the amount
Tor which II was to circulate
The speaker briefly reviewed the history
OF silver since the discovery of Mexico,
and cited the decrease in its value TO show
that in spite of the general coinage of the
metal II had shrunk 400 per cent In price
on account of the tremendous increase In
Its production. How foolish, then was
the claim that 1t would rise to sl29 an
ounce as soon as free coinage was estab-
lished In this country? The ratio had
originally been fixed at 10 to 1 in this coun-
