Il. IT came down to Massachusetts,. to. pre-
sent to your people the gospel Of Dem.
ocracy as I understand it. That IS the
way we do do not claim to have any

by the Democratic convention. Ii you
doubt my Democracy can point to that
convention as a better certificate chan

plause. We lay down this proposition
. that the more money there is in the
country the easier it is for any person
swho has something to sell to" get his
tshare of that money. Our opponents
plant themselves upon the doctrines that
the less money the whole people have.
\ the more money each irldiyiduai VIII
have That is mathematical PROPOSE
tion that you cannot find in any arlthme-
In, hn
upon which Republican hnanciering is
based.
We say that while the dollar goes up
property must go down, and that falling
prices and falling property mean hard
4times, If you ask us how the gold stand
!: ard affects the farmer, we tell you that
the gold standard lowers the price of
the products he sells without lowering
his taxes or his debts. If you asked us
I how the gold standard affects the labor
ing man, we reply that it destroys the
opportunity for labor, multiplies the
number of idle men. The gold standard
fills our streets with men who are anx-
ious to work, but find no opportunity.
The gold standard, by increasing idle
ness, brings poverty to those who should
have enough and to. spare, Eand. when
YOU take away the means of. gai4 ing. a
livelihood your make tramps otlt' efe men,
who under just conditions, would be self
supporting and contributors to the ma
tion's wealth and greatness. (Applause)
And, last of all, when you drive men to
hunger and desperation, you make Grim
