The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1896-10-30

Ia1d Is f0r sale to the mau or
ton that can pay the highest price
for it, how long will the institutions
OF this country last? Are you going
to array yourself upon the side OF
Hanna and his policy of wholesale
bribery, or are you going TO put your
seal OF condemnation upon 1t!
1.-THE Chicago convention was pecu-
liarly a representative body OF men.
They were representatives OF the De
mocracy that assembled in the prima-
ries, the beat, county and dlstrlct
conventions that selected the dele
gates TO the national convention.
THE men who now claim that we
have deserted the principles OF De-
mOcracy went into convention with
us. They took part in Il delibera-
tions, and even pledged themselves to
stand by the result.
II have ALWAYS been for a l6 to ]
man: First, because | was reared That
way, and because | have become con-
WINGED it was right. When l was
asked prior to the Chicago convention
II a gold standard nan was nominated
whether | would vote for him ! replied
yes, but four years afterward | would
continue the fight for free silver. l
am a Democrat because the Demo-
cratic party gets nearer the masses
and the bosums Of the people than
any other party. When l 60 into a
thing l stand by it, but these gold
fellows, because they can't have their
own way, get a little birthstone and
try to raise afittle hell OF their own.
"What would you think OF a man
who submitteH his cause to arbitra.
tiOn, and then refused to abide by the
result? This is what these gold men
propose. They submitted to the arbi-
traitor Of a convention, and now they
propose to get some sulphur and have
a little hell of their own.
'"The gold men will never get over
the result Of their detection. 1t will
cling to them like the shirt Of Ncssus.
They will be like the hoosier who was
taking his first ride on a steamboat.
He became frightened when the en-
CINE blew off steam, and when some
Of the passengers told him to jump
he jumped into the river. Hearing a
shout Of laughter behind him he
turned in the water and said: Il can
lick the d-m sc0undfel that told me
to jump In less than three years
from now the gold men will want to
wnlp the 1eIiQw thaG t0ld tnehi 10
Jump. Whenever you find a man that
is in favor OF the gold standard you
VIII nno some one that belongs TO an
insurance company or some railroad
or banking corporation, q MS EN-
ployment depends upon ms adopting
their views. You never hnd the men
that toll on the gold ticket.
The foremost question before the
people now IS thc money question, and
it is the question whether the people
can be bought and II the Presidency
can be bought. Every silver dollar IN
the United states to-day is as good as
a gold dollar. Why? Because 1t is
redeemaole IN gold! no. For every
dollar in silver that has been redeemed
in gold there has been 100 gold dollars
redeemed in silver. 1t Is because OF
the undying principle OF supply and
demand. Everything has been done
that could be done by Harrlson'S ano
Cleveland's ADMINISTRATIONS to destroy
the value OF silver. IL Is not the bul'
lion but the demand Tor II as money
that creates its value.
There is no danger OF there beint
more money than the business or thl>
country will absorb. AS long as TIM
supply equals the demand the article
Will be at par Senator Stewart truth
fully said that the business or Thu
country Is capable or absorbing I

business or all EUROPE coMDlned, ant
his statement has never been denied
