iNGERSOLL ON N
The Colonel States Some Plain Truths In
His Own Unique Way.

k11b OWu unique way
Following is an extract from the
speech of Col. Robert G. Lngersoll at
Chicago on October 8:
Money that is money needs no guar
antee, needs no hacker; it is always
good. No matter how many nations go
down TO dust, good money remains for
ever the anne We have a Man running
for the presidency on three platforms,
with two vice presidents, that says
money is a creature of law. If the
government 4 make money by law,
why should the government collect
taxes? According to Mr.. Bryan, our
fathers were the friends of silver, and
yet our dear old fathers in all their
lives minted only 100000 of these sa-
cred dollars. Now, see what the ene-
mics of silver have done. Since 1879
the enemies of silver have coined owe
~430,000,000 of these dollars, and yet
silver kept going down. We are coin
ing now over 100000 a month, and
silver keeps going down.
Senator Jones, OF Nevada, in 1878,
voted for the law Of 1873. He said,
from his speech in the senate, that God
had made gold the standard. He said
that gold was the mother of civiliza-
ton. Whether he has heard from God
since or not l do not know. But now he
is on the other side. Senator Stewart, Of
Nevada, was there at the time, but voted
for the act of 1873, and said that gold
was the only standard. He has changed
his mind. No government can affordto
be a clipper on coins.
A great republic cannot afford to
stamp a lie on silver or gold OF paper.
Honest money for an honest people, is
sued by an honest nation. You cannot
make a paper dollar without taking a
dollars worth of paper. We must have
paper that represents money. Iwantit
issued by the government, and 1 want
behind every one of these paper dollars
either a dollar in gold or q silver
dollar worth 100 cents, so that every
greenback under the flag can lift up its
hands and swear: Il know that my re-
deemer Iiveth." That was where 1 was
20 years ago, and that is where 1 am to-
night. .
For nations and individuals, at all
times, everywhere and forever, honesty
is the best policy. Better be a honest
bankrupt than n rich thief. Poverty can
hold in its hand the jewel honor-a
jewel that outshincs all other gems. A
thousand times better be poor and noble
than rich and fraudulent. Nobody can
be helped by free coinage except the few
people who could pay their debts if they
were willing. Some say that it would
help the mine owners. 1t would not.
Coming this bullion into dollars would
notircrease its value, because you could
coin the bullion CT tie whole world and
the supply would be greater than the
demand. Have free coinage tomorrow,
and there IS not 4 silver mine owner
that would make a dollaT-not One-by
changing it into American coin. 1t
would be worth only what the bullion
is worth in the open market.
We want good money-good, honest
money. And there was never any real
prosperity for a nation or an individual
without honesty, withoutintegrity, and
it is our duty to preserve the reputation
OF the great republic.

Cuba's Diseouraging Experiment.


Cuha is furnishing a nearby example
Of the beauties of government regula-
ton of the value of money on the Bryan
plan. Capt. Gen. Weylcr had a deficient
supply OF cash, and so he had the Banco
EspaEol put out a lot of paper money
and issued 4 stringent Cdict that every
body should take it at a par with gold.
As the island is practically under mar
tial law, there was government con-
troll of the currency at its best. If you
didn't take the bank bills al Pa5, you
were liable to be shot. Even Bryan
couldn't do more for silver than that.
But did the cdict keep the bank notes
at par? Not fer a day. AImostinstant-
" they were at 4 discount, which soon
amounted to 20 per cent. Even with
guns and hayonets you cannot make
SO cents equal a dollar. Weyler has had
to give up trying. He has finally al
lowed the Havana stock exchange to
quote the value of the bank bills in gold.
We were going to say that this proves
the powerlessness of law to establish
the value of money, but we remeaE-
Der in time that Cuba has less than =
100000 population TO our 1~0,c00,090:
that she never put down the greatest
rebellion Of modern times; but her
inhabitants ere not the richest, proud,
est, most intelligent people on earth,
and 50 we are not so sure. Her ease l.
only a part of universal experience,
but we have changed all that.-N. \.
