i
the time Of George Washington up te
the present day. In referring TO the
| Declaration Of Indepence. he said:
| Never was the Declaration OF -Ameri-
can independence n 1776 justiiable be-
| fore God and man as 1. is by the reia-
tons and condition OF the .wo English
| speaking nations which exist today
And. thanks be 10 God. never were the
interna tional relations beween the two
countries in a clearer atmosphere of I'M
mistakable mutual good understanding
and more free from ignorant suspicion
or hostile intent than in this hist ami
versary Of American independence"
Mr.. Bayard concluded:
Today, there is in the minds OF
thinking men in this country a wide
spread and vague uneasiness on a
question which casts ITS shadow over the
outlook OF business ard beciouds the
atmosphere OF hope and enterprise.
Capital is enc form Of property, and
is sensitive. II shrinks when confidence
is Weakened. Such epprehensions,
everywhere. vague and underlined, chill
the energies Of men and check their en-
terprise and labor waits for capital to
regain its courage and smooth away the
objections and dangers which impede
employment an dto bring the energies
Of individuals into cooperative action.
And while labor is waiting, suffering
does not wait, and worn faces and hol-
low cheeks tell the story. amid mutter-
erings of discomfort. All this can be re-
lieved, for there does not seem much
doubt as TO the true cause that "dulls
the edge of enterprise and sicklies DER
with the paiecast OF thought"
at is not the uncertainty in mems
minds as to what may be done with the
currency Of the country which is the
very bass Of commerce and industrial
life and runs through every artery OF
the body polite? A arrangement of the
currency Of the country is like unto
poisoning of the likelihood Of a man, and
no greater danger can await US. A dis
ordered currency will confuse and de-
moralize every transaction in life, great
and small from the payment of the daily
wages of labor to the financial arrange
ments to carry out the vastest enter
pr,ses. No contract can be safely
agreed upon and no business can be
safely conducted under it or prosper In
It's company. To embark the business
and contracts Of a country upon a cur
rency which is not fully anchored upon
a stable standard and measure OF value
is to insure ruin and disaster to every
member Of society.
No elections are now pending, but the
time approaches with inevitable certain
ty and from a full heart and n all ear
nestness and sincere affection I conjure
my fellow countrymen. casting aside all
other differences Of opinion, to reject
the decisions Of those remedies which In
seasons Of popular distress or excite
ment induce the foolish and impervious
belief in the power Of any government
to create values by statute"
