MONEY TO RENT.
'sNow, my friends, on this money ques-
ton. there are two classes OF people.
There are those who have money to sell
or money to rent, and there are people
who have products to sell, for the pur-
chase of money. (Applause)
eff a man has money TO rent, he wants
as little competition in the renting bu-
siness as possible. (Applause) II you
own store and want to rent that
store, the less vacant store there are
the better for you, and so, the man
who owns the money, who wants 10
rant It out, the less competition ne has,
the better price he can get for his money
(ADplauSe.) So, when a man wants 10
sell his money, OF with it buy something
else, the higher the purchasing power or
the dollar the better it is for the man
who owns the money.
But take the other side Of it Sup
pose you owe a debt and cannot get the
money to pay that debt until you SSH
something you have, either your house.
or land or labor or something you have
produced by toll. The lower prices are,
the more you have to sell TO get a given
amount of money, Under the gold STAN
dard prices have gone down but debts
have not gone down, and you have de-
stroyed the equity a man has had in his
property and he is turning his property
over to satisfy the man who has the
mortgage. When they tell you that a
man ought to be indifferent about fall
ing prices, because whe nprices are low
he pays less for what he buys, you tell
them that there are certain fixed chang
es that don OF go down and. therefore,
the margin between what he sells and
what heo ives growsless and leaves him
less and less for Avgns expenses. Gap

WHO HAVE TO WAIT.
"Have you noticed one thing in partic-
ular ian this campaign. and that is the
interest which tine mothers and wives
are taking in the money question?
Why is this? Because, the mothers and
wives have left the forces OF the gold
standard more than any other class Of
people, my friends. They have been told
| that debts cannot wait; that interest
canent wait that taxes cannot wait
| What can wait? Why, II the wife needs
something, she can wait II the child
Ten need something, they can walt, and
therefore these people have had to cut
down on their living expenses and that
menaS less sales by the storekeepess and
that means more failures and bank
ruptcieS among your storekeepcrs.
