The audience was stirred to great en-,

Mr.. Bouteiie spoke earnestly. clearly
and with great force and oonvictf6u
throughout. Although his voice has not -.
covered from the effects Of = severe cold.
his words were heard distinctly in every
part OF the house. After congratuIa{ing
the people OF Washington on the Ap-
preaching victory OF sound money. protec-
ton and Mckinley and Hobart, he said
that he did not espouse the cause OF any
particular portion OF the people In this
campaign, but rather spoke for the cora-
mon cause Of all The people. He said the
Republican party claims verdict from
the American people In favor Of tho great
cause OF protection, sound money and
good government. which the party had
caused TO be enacted In Its adminsstrA-
tons covering thirty years OF the MOST
prosperous and progressive life OF the ma
tson. In the three decades from 1850 to
1s32 the country had prospered and ad.
eanced more than ever before I'm It's hsa.
tory. This great measure OF confenfmene
Was due solely TO the fact that the people
were steadily Employed at a good rate oe
wages under the protective system Of tbo
Republican party. The Republican party
had always espoused the cause OF the IA
boring classes and had adopted policy
of increasing the bene.sts which labor re-
ceiyes from tts employment. Such pol.
icy that brought such splendid results for
the people up To 1899 certainly offered fn-
ducsments for them tn issx fAppianse)
The speaker referred 10 the statement of
the great English ssatistician, Prof Mu;-
hail. in which he eaid: cit would be I'm.
possible TO IND any para4iel In all history
for the progress in wealth Of the Ameri-
can people from 1850 10 issn" This was
tina period when the protective policy Of
the Republican party WAS embodied In tho
legislation OF the government.

pen. one half OF the rsdsmptlve money

reason given is this. Gold is one part Of

''In 1850 the complaint was made that
we were not coming silver fast enough.

and the question finally compromised
By the passage of the sherman act. which

Can any sane man think in this wayr
The speaker called attention 10 one or
two points In Bryans speeches In New
York. In one he had said that he wished
10 see the day that man could 60 into
the market and purchase AZ grains %
silver with which he might pay 81 Of debt.
In other words ths Popocratsc candi~
date wanted things arranged 10 that =

The speaker pointed out the extent Of
the calamity TO the banks ard business
institutions OF the country. providin1
such legislation was ever enacted.
