Of our own great products, discrediting
silver and enhancing the price OF gold.
lie endeavored, even before his Inaugural
tion to office, to stop the coinage of silver
dollars, and afterwards and 10 the end Of
his administration, persistently used his
power to that end. He was determined to
contract the circulating medium and de-
monetize one of the coins of commerce,
limit the volume of money among the peo-
pie, make money scarce, and therefore
dear. He would have increased the value
of money and diminished the value of
everything else-money, the master
everything else the servant. Great cheer-
ing)
Following these same lines, the repub-
lican convention, in 1892, declared at Min
neapolis that the American people, from
tradition and interest, were in favor Of
bimetallism. (Voice That's sou Thai Is
the language in 1S92-that the American
people from tradition and interest are for
bimetallism. Have traditions changed in
four years? "a voice, "No.') Have inter-
ests changed in four years? "a voice.
"No.D No, my friends, and yet forget
ting the platform of 1880; forgetting the
denunciation uttered by their distinguish

of 1892, the republican party, in conven-

foreign nations should bring these ad-
vantages to them. (Applause)
1T is not strange that men who had
looked for bimetallsm in the republican
party should have given up hope and turn
ed elsewhere for relief. These republi-
cans cannot be criticised for leaving the
republican party. They have done what
every American citizen has right to do.
They have done better than our demo-
cratic advocates of the gold standard
have done, because these republicans,
when they left the party, Joined with
those who had a chance to succeed, while
our democratic advocates of the gold

Il intend to show you that the action Of
the republicans is defended by experience
and example. Let me carry you back to
the period just preceding the war. If
you will turn to a book recently publish
ed, entitled, John Sherman's Recollec-
tons Qaughter), you will find on page
112 of the first volume, a portion of "
speech which he delivered in congress in
1855 Let me read this extract: 81 am
willing to stand by the compromise Of
1920 and 1850; but when our whig breth-
| rem Of the south allow this administra-
ton to lead them off from their principles,
when they abandon the position which
Henry Clay would have taken, forget his
name and achievements and decline any
longer to carry his banner, they lose all
| their claims on me. And l say now, that

in party association with them.
This was the distinguished senator
from Ohio asserting to the people of this
aDA Of haf
he was willing to accept compromise after
compromise, but that the time had at last
| come when he could go with them no
| longer; that until certain things were ac-
! complished, he could not act with them.
| The situation to-day is but repetition of
| history Compromise after compromise
has been submitted to by the silver repub-
licans, in the hope that the party of
| their choice and love would at last bring
to the people the relief which they de-
sired But the republican party, like that
party in 1856, has been led off by another
administration, until it has deserted its
traditions and its platform, and these re-
publicans have a right to say to their re-

no longer until this nation Is redeemed

to the democratic party.
The same spirit which directs them to-
in the discharge of their duty will be

that will then arise. The same patriot
ism that leads them to-day in what they
| do will be with them four years from now
| to guide and direct them. We trust them
now, we shall trust them then. The DEM

did not exaggerate the truth when he
said: The consummation OF TINS scheme
