LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
We apply the law of supply and de-
mand to money. We say that the value
OF q dollar depends on the number or
dollars. and that you can raise the value
OF dollar by making the dollars scarce;
and we charge that our opponents
are in favor OF making money scarce,
because they are controlled by those
who want money dear. II. my friends,
you are In favor of dear money and low
property. you ought to vote tho Repuo-
lican ticket. If you are In favor OF
making money the only thing which 1t
is desirable to own, and of making pro-
perty the thing that everybody wants 70
get rid OF. you ought to vote the Repuo-
lican ticket, because, my friends. the
Republican party proposes 10 commune
the present financial system, the object
OF which is to make 1t more profitable
10 hoard money and get the Increase In
the rise Of the value Of the dollar. than
to put that dollar TO work employing
labor and developing the resources OF
this great country Great appIause)
You ask why Il Is that anybody in
this community can favor a gold stand
ard. I will tell you why some people
In some communities that ! know have
favored gold standard: ] have known
merchants who were notified that unless
they supported the gold standard they
could not obtain an extension or their
notes at the bank; and that Is Drought
about by the fact that some banks are
notified from New York that unless they
use their influence in favor OF goid
standard they cannot discount their notes
in New York: and the New York
banks are notified from London that IL
we do not have a financial policy run
on the European plan that the English
money-loaners will not let US have
money. Applause)
WAY TO BORROW MONEY.
Our opponents tell us that We must
maintain the gold standard in order to
borrow money. / reply that If we main
tain the gold standard We will never
be able to do anything but borrow
money. and will soon be at an end oil
that. because our property will not be
1T 10 borrow on. CApplause)
Do you tell me that we do not need
any more money In this country? l
point you to the fact that the advocates
Of the gold standard rejoice whenever
any money comes to this country. They
point TO 1t as an evidence that there
will be better times. II we have enough
money in this country. then why should
we want any money TO come from
abroad? II we have enough money now,
then any more would be too much; and
surely nobody wants too much money in
this country. lApplause)
If it is desirable to have money come
from abroad. then 1t Is evident that we
have not enough money here now; and II
we haven't enough money now, 1t is bet
ter to let the money come out OF our own
mountains, and .be our own money, than
to borrow from abroad. and have to pay
II back with interest at some future time.

as any demand that can be created by
Mexico, and If there is a Republican who
still doubts that this nation is greater

United States and Mexico together may
be able to do what Mexico cannot do
alone. (Applause)
