INGERSOLL IN 1901.
An Eloquent Extractf ON his Address
to the Farmers of Illinois.

A number of our Republican
friends for the past week have
pointed with pride toward
Robert 1ngersolls last weeks
speech on the financial question
and asked Have you read it,"
Yes we've read it, and wish to in
the folling lay before our readers
an extract. Of a speech made by
Mr.. Ingersoll to the farmers Of
Illinois, delivered in 1891 and
gwen in full in his volume OF
speeches and lectures published
by the Rhodes & Mcclure Pub
fishing company, of Chicago,
Colonel Ingersoll thus spoke in
his own picturesque style on this
subject:
"For my part, I do not ask any
interference on the part of the
government, except to undo the
wrong it has done. | do not
ask, that money be made out OF
nothing. | do not ask for the
prosperity born of paper. But ]
do ask for the reconciliation OF
silver. Silver was demonetized
by fraud. It was an imposition
upon every solvent man; a fraud
upon every honest debtor in the
Uuited States. ( It assassinated
labor. It was done in the inter
ests of avarice and greed, and
should be undone by honest
men"
This eloquent extract is to be
found on page 10 of the volume
Of his speeches above referred to.
Can one who spoke from such
strongconvictions then have gone
over to the support Of the single
gold standard now and become
an apologist for the very. crime
here SO strongly denounced.

A WORD TO THEaToILER.

All this talk about the chest
dollar" that is the dollar that
will buy the most, simply means
low wages. Nearly everything
mankind needs and buys is the
product of labor. The dollar
that will buy the most food
means low wages for the farmer
and those engaged in agriculture.
The dollar that will buy the
most clothes means low wages
for the weaver and the tailor
Thes dollar that will 60 the
farthest toward building a house
means low wages for the carpen-
ter, the mason and the painter.
Thus it goes in every field of in
dustry. The man who labors
demanding a dear dollar is sim
ply demanding a reduction Of his
wages. A continuation of the
gold standard may prove efiica-
cious in demonstrating this
beyond dispute, but it will be a
bitter school. The school Of ex-
perience ought to have taught
this lesson thoroughly by this
time.
Lay aside prejudice, Mr.. Work
ingman, be you a day laborer, a
skilled mechanic, merchant or
professional man, and let reason
govern your actions at the com
ing election. Investigate. Read
both sides, and vote according
to the dictates Of your conscience
andIdon't be governed by the fact
that your father was a member
Of q particular party or that

Look about you Mr.. Repubh-
can. The bankers, the men inter
csted in the trusts, those who
profit by the gold standard, do
not regard party ties as binding.
Is your attachment to your
party stronger and of more I'M
portance to you than the we ltare
Of yourself, of your family ard
Of your countrymen.? If the
monopolists or his representa-
tive becomes a patriot" by
boiling the party of the people

publican Workingmau by bolt
ing the party Of trusts and join
ing that of the people? The Dem
ocratic party is the place for
you i'll this campaign. If you
will investigate the matter thor
oughly you cannot fail to per-
ceive that the Republican party
has become the asylum for every

BRYANESQUE PERIODS.
Some illustrations of the Candidates
Phrasemaking.

From Mr.. Bryans speeches in ST. Paul:
MY friends, when government
is properly administered there
will be no railroad wreckers to
make themselves rich by bank
rupting those who<put their con
fdence III them. applause J
When government is properly
administered there will be no
representative of a coal trust
sitting by every freside to exact
tribute from those who desire to
be protected from the cold of
winter. s(Applause When
government is properly admins
tered there will be no syndicates
fattening out Of the govern
ment's adversities after they
have bought those adversities
upon the government for their
own benefits. Applause j When
government is properly admins
tered there will be no corpora
tons which assume greater au-
thority thanthepow + that made
them. (Applause.) When gov
eminent is properly administered
it will recognize those fundamen-
tai principles set forth in the de-
claration Of inpedendence, All
men are created equal, that they
are endowed with inalienable
rights, that governments are in
stituted to preserve these rights
and that governments derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed applause J
When these four principles are
applied then government will be
what it ought to be-
"But you say, How is going
to be any easier to get that
money from people who have
money than it to get money from
people who haven't any Great
laughter and applause.) If you
have property to sell, and no
body has money to buy with,
you don't get any price for your
money; if you have property to
sell and other people have money
to buy it with, you get some
thing for your property when
you sell it."
Now, when you have time to
think about it, | want you to
try to figure out how that can
be a 1OO-cent dollar long enough
for the miner to make SO cents
on it and then become a 5O-cent
dollar for all the rest of the .peo-
pie? Laughter and applause. J
The only way in which the min
er can make that profit is by
converting a piece of silver now
worth SO cents into ST which
will be worth 100 cents. If
when he gets through he has
only converted a 5O-cent piece Of
silver into a 5O-cent dollar he
has not made anything by the
operation"
"The only you can preserve parity
between money and property, the only
way that you can maintain stability in
price, uniform average prices, is to have
money sufficient in quantity to keep pace
with the demand for money"
