The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-07-11
Editor John II. Mclean.

John X. Mclean, the Ohio publisher,
was spoken for by A. w. Patrick, IN
elderly gentleman with tawny beard
and gold bowed spectacles, whose conf
dent prediction, John r. Mclean will
carry Ohio brought a loud response.
The speech was a ringing one, paying q
tribute to McLean's work for silver
through his paper, and to his party rec
ord. However, the news was spread
ing that the programme did not include
a ballot, so the people began to pour out,
but as nominating speeches rarely
change votes, it is probable that Mclean
lost nothing.
Senator Turpie of Indiana presented
the name of Governor Matthews, and
John S. Rea performed a like service
for Senator Blackburn of Kentucky.
Pennsylvania Had No Candidate.
Pennsylvania being called, Mr.. Har-
rlty, chairman of the national commit
tee and of the delegation, stated that
she had no nomination to make at this
time, but when the roll of states was
called the delegates would express their
preference.
Texas sent to the platform Joseph
Bailey, one of the youngest members Of
congress and a conspicuous figure in the
convention, not only because Of his per-
sonality, but because of his victory over
the old state leaders in the delegations
recent caucus. His speech was a tribute
to Bland.
Congressman Jones, at the call of
Virginia, climbed to a chair to say that
the delegation had decided to cast it's
vote for John l.. Daniel, but at his
earnest request refrained from doing so,
and had NO candidate.
Bragg Declares Himself.
e. j. Dockery was introduced and
seconded the nomination of Blackburn.
He said that Wisconsin would in No.
vember cast her votes for the nominee
Of the convention and won enthusiasm.
He seconded the nomination of w. J.
Bryan, 1.-The idol of this convention"
Strife cropped out in Wisconsin's
camp, for General Bragg, the man who
gave Cleveland a watchword by his
famous Eepigram. II love him for the
enemies he has made" was standing
on a chair and many delegates were
bowling at him. His words could not
be distinguished plainly, but they were
something about another candidate on
another platform.
The roll Of states was finished at
IL 80. Then Senator Jones of Arkansas
moved an adjournment till morning.
The Bryan adherents were not anxious
to have the balloting postponed. There
were cries for a vote, but the chairman
put the question, and after the specta-
tors as we'll as delegates had yelled

used to be. I notice one of the op.
ponents of free coinage said the
other day that if the farmers had
suffered from falling prices when he
went to sell. he had gained in falling
prices when he went to buy. That
may all be we'll enough for some one
who is not farmer to tell 10 man
who is farmer (Applause.) 1t
would never be told by a farmer
himself (Applause.) Because the
farmer knows that while he sells at
wholesale he buys at retail. and that
retail prices do not fall as fast as
wholesale prices, and he knows that
lhere are certain fixed charges that
do moi fall at all.
Have your taxes fallen in the last
twenty years? My observation is
that taxes are as high or higher
than they were twenty years age;
but II it REQ hires twice as much of
the products CT the farm to pay your
taxes they are in effect twice as high
as they were then. Ii it takes twice
as much OF farm products to pay the
interest upon your mortgages, then
that interest is in effect twice as
high as it was twenty years ago If
it takes twice as much of farm pro
duets to pay the principal on your
debts as it took twenty years ago,
then your debt is in effect twice as
high as it was then.
Ny friends, you can talk to the
farmer from now until election day
but you will never convince him that
gold standard has brought any.
thing but ruin and distress to the
farmer.

Garner are sincere. There is a good
way of knowing how much faith you
can put in these protestations of
friendship. Who are the men who
are now telling the lahoring man
that he must stand by the gold
standard if he wants to prosper?
Why, whenever one of these East

the men who have been too busy

peal to you to remember that the
United States is the only nation that
stands ready to protect it's own peo-
pie from every danger, foreign and

Other nations may protect their
people as they should, but our
nation is the only nation that can
protect the American people. 1 can
suggest that you are interested, not
SO much in knowing the objections
to our plan as in knowing what plans
the opposition have to relieve the
conditions. Why don't they pro,
pose something? Is it because they
do not know what is to be done? Is
it because they know and will not
tell' II so, they have not the can
dor that ought to be possessed by
those who would redeem the people
from their suffering and distress.
(Applause)
They say that our dollar will be a
$50 dollar. Well, now, my friends,
they refuse to apply to the silver
that is produced in the world the
law OF supply and demand. We say
increase the demsnd for silver hy
legislation and that new demand,
acting with the demand now in ex.
istence, will operate upon the price
OF silver. We say that that new de.
mand will be sufficient to consume
all the silver coined at the mint, and
being sufficient, will raise the value
OF silver bullion to S1.2S throughout
the world. (Applause) We have a
reason for our belief. They simply
say it won't dc it, and then set back
and propose absolutely nothing.
If we need relief from the gold
standard we must secure it for our

blessing in the world to have prices

Our cpponents do not dare to say
that the gold standard is a good
thing, because ne party in the histo-
ry of the country has ever declared
in favor Of gold standard, and they
do lot dare to say that the gold
standard is bad thing, and then
tell 7O,000,000 of people they have
got to suffer until some foreign
nation brings them relief (Cries of
that's right.) There is principle
that underlies it All. 1t is that the
law of supply and demand applies
to money as to everything else. In
crease the amount of money more
rapidly than the demand for money
Increases and you lower the value of
dollar. Decrease the quantity of
money while the demand for it in-
creases and you increase the value
OF dollar. When you understand
that principle then you understand
why the great crusade in favor of
gold standard finds it's home among
the holders of fixed investments,
who, by such Legislation raise tie
value of the property which they
hold.
When you understand the effect
OF the policy and then understand
that the desire for it is manifested
mostly among those who hold the
fixed investments, and in money, l
think you will come to the conclu-
sion that have come to, that the
fact that the gold standard is good
thing for them is the principal rea-
son why they are in favor of gold
standard. (Applause.)
Now, my friends, when you make
up your minds that the gold stand
ard is bad thing, then the question
that you have to consider is how can
weget rid of it. They can raise objec.
tlons to the plan which we propose
that if free coinage makes a silver
dollar equal to a gold dollar, why
then it will be just as hard to get
silver dollar as it is to get gold
dollar.
