opposed to our plans Do they know
what is good for the American people:
If so, why don't they tell! Will you say
that their refusal TO speak and elaborate

not only know what we want, but we
know why we want it, and We are going

when we say bimetallism we tell you that
we mean bimetallism. We don't mean
that the government will buy whatever
metal it Wishes that is not what We mean
by bimetalliSm. (Applause) When We
talk of bimetalliSm We mean two metals
We mean the use of not only one metal.
but of two metals as equal standard
money metals. entering the minis on
equal terms and coming from the mint
with full legal tender qualities. The two
metals, linked together at fixed ratio
and given equal rights. That is bimetal

my friends, there is not enough of gold
to furnish the standard money upon
which other money is TO be based. Our
opponents say that they have sound
financial policy. l deny that you can
build Il sound financial policy on 4 gold
basis. Ask them wnere the gold is.
They tell you how much there is in the
federal treasury. how much in the ma
tioual bank vaults. Then they guess at
the amount in other banks and they leave
about half of it unaccounted for. Ask
them how much gold there is in the coun-
try and they say about 100000. 00O
Ask them TO point it ont and they may be
able 10 point out half S6.0o0.00O. Ask
them where the rest is and they tell you

plauSe and cheerS) Do YOU believe you
can get Il substantial structure on an in

do it. The gold standard means. in its
final analysis, that gold will be the only
legal tender money in this country be-
cause, my friends, you can not have two
kinds of money in this country and have
one kind good enough for the bondhold-
erS and another kind good enough to pay
all our debts with. or it will soon cease
to be good enough TO pay any debts with.
The gold standard, carried To its logical
conclusion. means that all legal tender
