The morning times., 1896-10-17

ell 10 nave Deci passed after A1o paBcs
| Of DEBATE reported IN the Congressional al
| Record. They say it, struck down one-i
of the metallic money. Of the United states;
but before it wis passed there were cniy
about eight millions OF silver, ana now
It runs into the hundreds OF millions. he
described John p. Jones, of Nevada, ana
Senator Stewart as roaring III the Senate
against any onslaught on the ''gold stan
dard;' and yet they never knew anything
about the crime of 1873.
As to wages, We were paying higher
prices IN $50 thanevcr before. How can
it be explained that while prices have gone
down wages went up. How can IL De ex-
planned that silver went down as prices
went up, and vice versa? Recently silver
went down, while wheat went up. They
| say the prospect, Of Bryan's election raised
the price of wheat. Why didn't it raise
silver first2 He called attention To the
fact that there were three panics and IN
dustrial distresses here before the crime
of 1873 was dreamed uf.
DUE TO OvERPRODUCTION.
The closing OF this part of the speech
was to show that 1t was the over stocking
of the farmers market, the importation or
wheat from India, and else where into the
markets of the world, which reduced the
price of American wheat in those markets.
Mechanical inventions had done their part.
Had not the invention OF the bicycle
| affected already'a great many industries?
Machinery enables US to do with single
arm what heretofore had been done by
fifty. That will account in great meas
ure for the universal distress.
There was Il great scene, after many in
tcrruptions, wien the speaker declared
that this wasthe cause assigned by William
Jennings Bryan himself.
He would appeal from William Jennings
Brayn, drunk with ambition to reach the
White House, to William Jennings Bryan In
his sober senses.
They tell you that gold has made England
the financial mistress of the world. Why
not the United States keep that standard
and become the financial master or the
world. tPrGlongcd applause.)
The speaker had been SO much interrupted
| that Senator Faulkner extended his time
for two minutes.
MR.. HUTCHINs IN REPLY.
Mr.. Hutchns said in reply that the rea-
Son we could not fight England was because
we didn't have the gold. But we whipped
England several times and could do 1t
again. The boys whoOped this up until
he admonished them to hold up. He was
addressing the crowd on the left OF the
platform.
He affirmed that gold was coward;
| IL hides. Free silver, he said, would draw
out the gold from the banks. We were
Hutchins quoted Palmer two years ago
for silver against the national banks.
He quoted Mckinley as in favor OF the
free and unlimited and independent coinage
of silver. The audience disagreed with
him as To his construction OF what Nc
kinley said. He quoted Blaine and Web
ster as for 1.-THE money OF the Constitution,
i. e., gold and silver. Mr.. Hutchins snecred
at the idea that there could be q law which
the people wouldn't obey.
As to England, a gold standard country,
there was more money there than any
place else In the world because she was
the creditor country. II England didn't
like the monetization OF silver, she could
get the price OF her bonds the best way
| she could. Great applause.)
He said that the idea OF demon netiZation
could not be found expressed in the de-
bate on the act Of 1873. NJ country, he
| sad sententously, had ever won battles
| With gold.
MIR. Davis replied II gold was a coward
and that no battle was won by gold. In the
| na me Of heaven, then, with what had Eng
| land Won her victories? He defended him
| self from the charge OF straddliDg in 1892.
1t was the convention that straddltri. He
| defended the Indianapolis convention, for
| Bryan had changed and Mckinley had
| changed.
| Why is England the financial mistress
cf the world? Because she is The trade
mistress Of the world. and no one will
| dare deny that. Our products have their
| value fixed in Liverpool, and yet they
talk about the crime Of 1873 being the
| cause OF falling or rising prices.
| As to Mr. Hutchins' answer to how the
| free coinage wnnld benefit the country
it was the same answer which he Davis
| read two weeks ago in the New York jour
nal. sHe aJ#e
AS TO GOLD WITHDRAWALS.
1t was perhaps true that free silver
would draw out gold and would build
| New York Journal mills and factories to
| give the people work, but all the same
| the gold would 20 to Europe. They for
| get that industrial conditions must be
| reformed to give men the chance to get
| the dollars to be coined.
Why didn't AIR. Hutchins allude to the
| 1aborers' lot in England? He lodged it
| and talked about Rothschilds and Rocke
| fellers. lie wonld defy anyone to say
| that a dishonest doll ar W would reform
! industrial conditions. II silver Will jump
| to 81 %, in the name of God where will
| be the cheap dollar? AS to English bonds
| weren't they Predicated on the honor of
| this country, and yet, forsooth, We are
| told she must get them paid the best
way she could. (Applause.) He had
been taunted with his political position.
He would say that he would prefer to
DeionS 10 no party tndu W u purity VI
| repudiation and dishonesty.
TICKETS TURNED DOWN.
| Just who is responsible for the disap-
pointment of from 500 to 1000 angry
| ticket holders who were refused adms-
| sion to Convention Hall last night is
| impossible at present writing to deter
| mine. but the fact remains that whether
| caused by overissue or by bogus issue,
| hundreds of persons holding tickets per-
,.tsx
| first hands. Were shut out OF the debate
Long before 8 O'Clock the doors were shut
| to holders of other than coupon tickets.
| The ordinary ticket with ''admit bearer"
elected only gruff mo good from
| the policemen at the doors. Occasionally
| the doors would open to admit some favored
one and the angry crowd would make
| a rush for the door, to be met with
| counter rush from the police, who were
not chary in the use of forceful muscle
and language.
In the crush that came with such oc-
casiops, women shrieked, and men swore,
| and pandemonium reigned. As disguised
| ticket holders left after .vainly trying diff
| ferent doors, and different officers, the
crowd did not lessen, as latecomers con-
| stantly swelied its ranks.
Language that would not look we'll In
print was freely applied to the manage
ment of the affair, and accusations made
OF crooketlness in the matter OF tickets.
| 1t was apparent at an early hour that
something WIS wrong, as tickets were Of
| fered for sale on the sidewalks, near the
hall to all approaching 1t. 1t could not
! be learned that any distinction was made
| on account of the color of the tickets, or
| the color of the holders. But there was
| gross mismanagement Somewhere, or a
| spurious issue of tickets, and the un-
| fortunates who were turned down would
| like to know who is at fault.
