vile, Va. Says the purchaser:
The instrument was carefully wrap
ped in piece Of old cloth, and the
minute looked at it / saw that it
was the best specimen of Nicolaus

The scroll is most artistically
carved, the model and workmanship
beautiful. The valnish is OF golden
color and the pegs are of ivory.
All that was needed was few re-
pairs, and now it is singing beauty.
1t has not faulty tone, but even
and mellow, and possesses the great
carrying characteristics peculiar
only to the very best makes Of The
Italian school.
"John Scott, from whom ! bought
the violin, told me that he inherited
the instrument from bis father, uho

Our system Is based upon the experience of
the bankers world. How do you dare to
question their Judgment" Their system
is based upon the experience of the banking
world The bankers and the experts know
money as money. Bankers do not use
money as money. What is money for?
To effect exchanges. Do the bankers use
money to effect exchanges? No; they use 1T
for boarding, for lending, for discounting;
not for effecting exchanges. Their use of
1t is purely collateral to it's principal pur-
pose. They do not use it to effect ex-
changes.
A superfluous money is better for the eff
fecting of exchanges than a limited, insult
ficient money. but to the banker the limited
money is best, because for the purpose of
bankers business he can better calculate
what he can make by gathering and hoard
ing and lending or borrowing. We have
made mistake in adopting a bankers
theory of money (applause) for the purpose
of determining the best money system. For
my country I would rather take the judg-
ment OF any man who is in the habit of
using money as medium of exchange than
to take the judgment of any man who stands
In the position of using money merely as
bankers use 1t, for the purpose Of making
money out of borrowing and lending it.
(Applause) That is not using money.
The Use Of Money
The banker uses money as a commodity,
and it is to his advantage to have that COM
modify limited, controlled. 1t is the peo-
pies interest to have it unlimited and I'M
controlled. (Applause) Now have said

cuss that briefly. The answer made to
those holding our position on this question
Is that you cannot maintain a parity be-
tween gold and silver at a ratio Of 16 to /.
No other answer is made. desire to i'm
press upon you at this point what the BIZ
metallic theory Of maintaining a parity Is,
and the basis for our belief that 1t can and
will be maintained.
Under the bi-metallic theory the option
to pay In gold or silver is with the debtor.
He can pay either gold or silver in settle
ment Of his obligations. without discuss
Ing it say that 1t is impossible to conceive
OF the failure of the parity so long as the
debtor has the option (applause), and every
creditor in the world will become Interested
with the debtors in maintaining the parity
between gold and silver. (Applause). There
can be no doubt of it. 1t is asked If gold
would not under that system with
draw from the country. Without discuss
Ing it, say 1t would make no difference
whether 1t did or not. 1t would not with
draw. but If 1t did-if 1t did withdraw an

MAGUIRE'S SPEECH

Ladies and Gentlemen of Los Angeles:
I am pleased beyond expression to meet

meet such an audience anywhere at any
time, but 1t is doubly gratifying to meet 1t

that It Is making even now, ana the mag
niflcent prospect that lies before 1t. 1t is

tropolis, and believe that when the harbor
Of San Pedro shall finally be improved and
perfected for deep water vessels, Los An
geles will go forward with a bound rarely
paralleled in the growth Of cities In our
country. (Applause).

sealous patriots who met in your city today
and conferred upon me the honor Of their

With me upon the ticket, this union of re-
form forces represented by the three con-.
ventions has been placed one Of your most
distinguished citizens, one of your best law
yers. one Of your best judges, one of the
best citizens Of San Francisco in the days

Walter Van Dyke. (Applause). You

stream of gold which, by paying premium,
you draw out Of yourselves into the chan
nels of trade is continually being lessened
by the premium and the installments fiow-
ing back to the center.
Now you say one man does not control
the gold Of the world No, but few men do.
A few men do, and these few men have es-
tablished money centers at London and at
New York. You must go there for your
money. You must draw it out through all
the channels and through all the interme-
date stations through which 1t must pass
and from which 1t must be drawn, and you
must pay tribute to all Of them.
Monetary Differences
The difference between money under the
gold standard and money under the BIZ
metallic standard, the essential difference
to its use as money. is that under the BIZ
metallic standard money would find no ad-
vantage and it's owners no advantage. but
in using it as medium of exchange; while
under the gold standard system the wealth,
the advantage, the interest of those who
control the money of the country or the
money of the world Is In taking tribute, and
not in effecting exchanges. The Republi-
can system of finance is the bankers sys-
tenn. The Democratic, Populist and Silver
Republican system is the popular system.
Now our Republican friends say: What
do you know about money? You have not
studied the money question practically.

Yielding Republicans

The uprising in the Democratic party
which was successful, was witnessed in
the Republican party. prompted by the
same spirit Of patriotism, prompted by the
same love of country, prompted by the
same determination that no party should
be sustained unless It stood for the best
interest of the country-t'he only true func-
ton of any party, the only basis upon
which any patriotic citizen can support
a party. In the Republican party the re-
form element was not so successful. The
national convention Of that party de-
clared against the principles maintained
by that party organization from the time
its principles were first clearly enunciated
by Abraham Lincoln and his contempo-
raries down to the last utterances of the
present president of the United States
prior to the s.. Louis convention Cap
plause) and maintained also by the Re-
publican convention Of California in its
state convention Of 1896.
The Republican party declared against
the free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to I, and against the
independent action of this nation upon
that question, affecting our domestic con-
Germs and interests. The Republican party
organizati ton in California ccepted the ac-
ton of the st. Louis convention, and then,
up from the body of the Republican party
here came the organization of the Silver
Republican party. which we honor, and
with which we are proud to be in alliance
for the common interests of our country to-
night. (Applause.)
The Peoples party organized by the
withdrawal of reform forces from both Of
the old parties for some years stood for the
same principles that were made paramount
