THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF IT.
We spp.v the principles of every day
life to bimetallism. Il IS folly to eH-
rect people TO unite unless their in
farests are alike What would be said
Of a man who urged the people in this
country to do something TO hurt our
people, in order to help some other ma
ton?
81. the practical side of the question,
Mr.. Bryan said there was not enough
gold in the world to do the business o.
the word Gold IS sought FOR by every
body in The nation. 1t is ike food
described as the Oest in the world. II
may. be the best money il the world,
hut r-e arc told we can't nave II, be-
cause there is none Of ii. We would
die o. starvation while waiting for this
excellent fooG. We want quantity OF
money as wei as quality. The trouble
is there IS not quantity enough Of the
gold nl0ney, and however good it may
be. it is no benefit 10 those who can't
get any Of IT, (A-9iause-
INTERNATIONAL BIAIETALLIS1i-
The speaker was glad we had sent a
commission abroad TO try to secure in
ternational himetaliisin, and none VIII
rejoice more than he if it succeeds, but
he feared it would not. The gold peo-
pie assert shat agitating the silver
cause destroys confidence, but now they
have won, confidence is restored. it
makes men sick at heart that we should
send abroad TO agjtate the silver ques-
ton. Why thus try TO destroy conf
dence abroad right in the year Of the
auaer's Jubilee It's not treating the
mother country right. iLaughtsr.)
The United States today stands as
The greatest nation in the world, the
greatest silver producing nation, and
the grsa test debtor nation. IF America
must bow TO The gold standard. what
ratign can resist the gold influence?
Even Japan has recently gone to the
gold standard. and our gold standard
friends rejoice, but we lost gold by
Japah's action. fer she drew gold from
the United States. Every nation that
goes to the gold standard increases the
strain upon gold Wait till India
reaches cut fer gold. and il will be
worse. and still worse when we nave
driven China to the gold standard.
When all the nations are driven to gold,
the scramble Tor il viii be more in
tense, and the men who work the long
est and the hardest for the least
amount VIII get the gold; and who viii
profit? Why. the men who have the
gold. As the nations become poorer,
those who have the gold ger richer.
They viii profit by the gold standard,
and those who labor viii suffer
AN EASY PROBLEM
The money question is not difficult 10
20 understand. / don't boast Of being
precoci5us said EIr. Bryan, but I don't
remember the time when I didn't know
that when one end Of q teJer board
goes up. tae other goes down. That's
all there IS TO the money question.
Property is on one end Of the board,
and money on the other. We have been
having balloon dollars. rising higher
and higher. That was good for those in
The basket. ont bad for those or The
ground, who saU the dollars getting
further and further away from their
reach. If the dollar grows upon what
II feeds, ne ought 30 change the dies at
the mint; take away the goddess Of
liberty ard the eagle, and puJ on 2
