clared that he was gold standard man;
he has never made any secret of it from
the time he voted for Mr. Cleveland to the
time when-it was only a little while later
he accepted a cabinet portfolio from Mr
Mckinley. (Applause.)
A PLAIN DECLARATION
But there are facts more relevant than
this On the Gath day of July--and If you
will examine the itinerary of this wander
ing mission abroad you will find July Gath
was just about the point of the most deli
cate situation in all these negotiations for
an international agreement-on the 24th
day of July there flashed under the ocean,
upon the wings of the cable, the language
OF special message to congress by the
president of the United States himself.
wherein those who were receiving dele
cation from him in favor of international
bimetallism read the astounding fact that
the president recommended favorably to
congress a plan in favor of sound money
which had been declared in so many words
in resolution adopted in Chicago six
months before plan of currency reform
which 1T should recommend to the people
of the United States would be based upon
three fundamental principles: First. the
maintenance of the existing gold stahd-
ard. Does that have an echo of the Re-
publican platform in it? The only differ
existing gold standard must be preserved.
it declares in favor of the maintenance of
the existing gold standard. If that is not
quite an echo then it is almost a repeti-
ton. Secondly, that the United States
notes and the greenbacks, all forms of
government paper, is the expression, should
be retired. Thirdly that a system of
banks of issue should be established, over
to which should be delivered the sover-
eign function of paper money ISSUE Many
of the people Of the United States remem-
Der this. The establishment and mainte-
nance of the gold standard; secondly, the
retirement of the greenbacks and the
treasury notes, and thirdly, the establish
ment of a great banking system that
should itself discharge the sovereign func-
ton of paper money issue.
MKINLEY'S ATTITUDE
President Mckinley, when he stepped
before the people of the United States
seeking the highest trust within their gift,
placed himself on record with great care
and deliberation in letter of acceptance. |
Here is his sacred contract with the people |
of this country. Said he, "It"-Referring
to the Republican party-"It will maintain |
In circulation and as good as gold all kinds |
of silver and paper moneys now included |
In the circulation of the country" Those
are his words: ,"It-the Republican party |
Will include and maintain in circulation |
all the paper moneys of the country" That |
was in June, 1896, when he was nominated |
for president. In July, 1897 he declares
IN favor of an Indianapolis sound money, |
favoring the monetary commission scheme
governed by the gold brokers and bankers !
Oh the world, which declares that silver
and" paper moneys Of the United States
must pe retiTedi that gold alone shall be |
The herald., 1898-02-13

Now, my friend, this gold standard game
of 1886 has been played out. (Applause)
The coercive terrors of that great contest
| will be discontinued next time. There are
| enough men to whom that appeal will be
| vainly made again. added to those whose
better judgment has since that campaign
| operated with them effectively and con-
vincingly to have swollen, as deliber-
| ately believe, the great army of men in the
United States today who believe against
the gold standard and all its Infamous and
associated wrongs, to give us an absolute
preponderance among the electors OF the
United States. (Applause) 1t is ques-
ton, therefore, only of means and methods,
that is all. 1t is a time when duty calls
with trumpet tongue to every devoted
citizen Of the republic. My friends. in the
United States today there are, until this
great question Is settle :, only two political
parties. those who are for the gold stand
ard, the trusts and the monopolies. and
those who are against them. Applause.)
1 have been for thirty days or more at
the city of Washington, engaged in earnest
and prolonged conference with the repre-
sentatives of the Silver Republican party,
the Democratic party and the Populist
party. My friends, I should never have
come to the west, should never have tried
to raise my voice in the campaign Of 1898
in California and Oregon, unless could
come bringing the people of the Pacific
coast the assurance that the leaders OF all
the parties opposed to the gold monopoly
party in the United States are in substan-
tial accord and harmony. (Applause.)
IN UNION THERE is STRENGTH
In the old Roman days, when an especial
danger confronted the republic 1t was tho
wont of the senate, assuming extraordinary
powers, to appoint some distinguished citi-
zen of great ability and virtue, who
enjoyed the confidence of the people. as
dictator, the formula investing him with
power concluding to this effect: That
there might occur no detriment to the re-
public. We know no dictators in the
United States. 1t has been for hundred
years and more our proud boast that every
citizen is a sovereign-the only sovereign
our institutions know. In the beginning,
the institutions of the country were COM
mitted our charge in order that no detri-
ment might come to the republic. 1t is q
question of the destiny OF the republic it.
SELF 1t is danger in the presence of
which every individual ambition and every
separte object of mere partyism ought to
melt away and disappear like mists before
the rising sun.
1t is not necessary that any political or
ganization now existing should give up it's
independence or identity. The Populist
party, the Democratic party and the Silver
Republican party may all maintain their
machinery and their organizations: and
they ought to extend It, each and every one,
with all possible thoroughness; but the OBJ
ject toward which this organization and
the operation of this machinery should be
directed is not mere selfish partisan OBJ
ject. but the common good of ALL In

THE WINNING HAND
They tell story that 1 often think ol
in this connection. I do not suppose II
ought to be a novelty in California, al.
though it is said to have its origin ir
Colorado. A tenderfCot-I suppose that is
what we fellows, recently from the east
are entitled to be called when visiting
Colorado-was, very naturally perhaps
asked to sit in a little friendly game thai
is very popular in most parts of the United
States, and that was attended with some
adventure in the way of risking his
money on the correspondence of tain
spots upon the cards. At one stage of the
game this gentleman found himself be-
hind very interesting hand, consisting
of four cards, with each one spot making
four aces. believe. OF course, he had a
great deal of confidence in the hand, and
he evidenced it by the money that he put
up to the center Of the table, backing his
judgment that it was better than any
body's at the table.
Well. after a time, the hands were laid
down. The time came for deciding the
bet, and, with great confidence, he reached
forward and was about to sweep the pile
of ducats into his lap, or into his hat, as
the case might be- when another gentleman
you doing?" He says: II win this bet; 1
have four aces" The other man says: 'It
amt good" and laid own his hand, and
there were three spades and two dia-
monds. The first gentleman says: What is
that?" The other one replied: THAT is a
luloo." The first says: what is a luloo?"
"Why," replied his friend, "a luloo is three
spades and a pair of diamonds. My friend.
you must play, if you play out in this
country, according to the rules of the
house. Look here" and he pointed to a
placard on the wall, which said in very
plain terms: "A luloo beats four aces !"
OF course. he was man of peace. He sub
mitted to the law of the country and gave
up the money.
HE HAD A "LULOO"
A short time thereafter, with varying
fortune, having pursued the game, he
found himself with three spades and a
pair Of diamonds. OF course, he thought
here was the time to recoup his misfortune
and he bet right heavily. After a time
somebody called him. With great tri-
umph he laid down the three spades and a.
pair of diamonds, and said: 1T is nv
turn now" and started to rake in the
money, when a gentleman with q full
house-I believe that is what you call If
on the other side of the table said: Hold
on" This gentleman said: "I have got a
luloo." well" said the gentleman: my
dear friend, how often must 1 tell you
if you want to play in Colorado Won must
play according to the rules of the house"
He pointed again to the wall. This placard
was convenient thing, and meantime had
dropped down, exposing another face to
view, whereoe our astonished tenderfoot
read: "a luloo can be played but once an
evening"" (Applause)
