4 SILVER is resumed how do the gold

bugs know that a. silver dollar will !
only be worth 80 cents?
1 give that up right now. Qaughter) |
They don't know any such thing. The
silver dollar will always be worth 4
dollar and there is no argument which
can be advanced TO maintain that it
will not. so there is no use in me at
tempting to demonstrate what is al
ready d fact which cannot be denied.
The next question is: If free coinage
is resumed and silver admitted TO the
n1anis on an equality with gold, how
do the silver men know the silver dol
lar will be worth 100 cents? Because no
man with a silver dollar will let ii SO
for less than 100 cents, and / doubt II
any man with a good silver dollar
would sell the same for 100 copper
cents. daughter and applause) When
the minis are opened to the free coinage
OF silver there will be an unlim2Eed de-
mand for the white metal, and as there
is a limited quantity of the same, the
price will rise and will so TO $1-29 per
ounce.
| am asked concerning the question:
of international bimetallism and l want
10 say ehere IS no such thing az this
time. Why, down east, you hear MOTH
ing of that at ALL The mask has been
torn off and they are declaring only for
the gold standard. They say that silver
is a deEased metal and should be driven
out entirely. The question at issue is:
Shall we be controlled by the Syndl-
Gates and trusts, or shall the people
rule this nation? 1t appears now as
if the trusts and SyndtcateS wanted to
control Never in the history OF this
country has such a fund been raised
as by Hanna for the corruption Of poll
tics Think if you VIII of the millions
which have been raised by the trusts
and great corporations OF the iand to
elect q president and ask yourselves
the question: What kind Of president
will a man elected under such clrculn-
stances make?
Do you know why the syndicates and
trusts are afraid of Bryan? 1t is be-
cause he has said that his attorney
general will not be appointed from the
attorneys who are ruled by the imam
cial firms of the nation; that when he
is elected the aggregation which steals
millions shall be punished as are the
men who steal leaves of bread. Inc
trusts are afraid of Bryan, that is
what is the matter with Hanna The
opposition in this fight has evinced a
| disposition to stop at nothing to defeat
the liberties Of the people. 1t is coerc-
ing the farmer and the laborer. 1t is
not the Republican party OF the past,
and no silver Republican who believes
in Bryan should soil his ballot by vot-
ing with those who support Mckinley,
This is no halfway campaign
When the Chicago convention had
finished it's work, many of the ReDub-
licanS here declared they would not
mingle with the gold men, But later
on they remembered there were a few
county offices to obtain, and for the
sake of the petty spoils have made an
effort to get together. They come and
tell us that Holbrook is the man 10
elect. Why congress is not deaf and
dumb asylum. In the hot fight which
/ is to come; when all the power of gold
will be brought to bear on the repre-
sentatives of the people. where would
Holbrook be? We want men in the
, house who will be at the front when the
battle begins. Who will be on the Skin
mish line, and when the artillery rolls
| it's thunder will be where the battle is
thickest: who will be in the van at the
| charge and who will make the enemy s
/ retreat rout. The Republican faction
/ in the next house will be dominated
| by the gold men. What will Holbrook
do? Will he bolt the caucus? If he
! does he is a man without a party and
will sit on the marble steps of the CAPT
/ tol cooling his heels throughout the
! session.
Republicans say the tariff separates
is established there will be no tinkering
| with the tariff.
You may build walls around the
country as high as those Of China, or
open your ports to the commerce of the
world, but you cannot restore prosper
ity until more redemption money is in
circulation.
Judge Powers closed by appealing to
all voters to vote the Democratic ticket

HON. J. L. RAWLINS.
Responding to numerous calls from
| all parts of the house, Hon. J. L. Raw
lin, who has just returned from the
east, made a brief speech. He thought
! it would be presumptuous on his part
to attempt to speak on the chief issues
| of the day after two such speeches as
had just been delivered, but he would
say something in regard to the situa-
ton in the east. On every platform
where he had addressed meetings in
the great states of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, the people who attended, who
sat on the platforms with him, were
formerly members of all the parties
They were now united in one common
effort to benefit the country. Wealth

ing to conceal its hand and purpose
and through its hired agents is telling
the American people that they NJ

poses and the Stars and Stripes bear

structures, with the same designs.
