as reasonable and thinking people, if
the one great argument OF the last
campaign was not this? They said
that our idleness, our %stagnation, our
business depression, our poverty and
our distress was because there was not
money enough in the country to do the
business Of the country with. That
there was lot money enough In the
United States to do the business of
the United States. Since then, since
the other policy prevailed, since the
republican administration began, since
our new legislation or the tariff ques-
ton, the business OF the United States
has almost doubled throughout the
length and breadth Of the land; the
factory doors have opened the idle have
been given places. the hours of labor
have been heightened; labor at least
is certain of employment. and of re-
ward. 1t has taken more money at
present prices, almost two to one, to
move the great various crops of this
western country to the sea coast than
it did in the year prior to 1896, and
yet we do not hear, as we did then, of
a scarcity Of money, Of a money fam

and on homes. 1t has taken o
money, that IS, it has taken more cir
culation of money, w to one. to do
the business Of the country this year
than it did in the year 1896. Yet
money was never easier. interest rates
were never lower, opportunities to get
money to invest in legitimate business
were never better than they are now,
and the fact of 1t is, from this state
ment, for it is the whole of the money
proposition in this country, the fact OF
it Is, that it is not a question OF the
amount of money ON which rests Amer
lean prosperity; it is a question as to
whether or not you have got business
enough in the United States to keep
the money Of the American people in
circulation among themselves.
Is 1t the question OF the money Of the
United States going abroad-of an in

my countrymen, I have in my pocket a
statement copied or cut out from the
lOmaha World Herald, Mr.. Bryan's
paper. a paper to which I always go

more than two hundred and
forty million dollars in gold have
come from foreign shores to the United
States Of America, and been added to
our circulation, over and above all we
sent abroad; and the fact Of 1t is. 1t
has come not because of a c%heapening
of the American dollar, but because of
the strengthening OF American credit,
by the policy OF honesty Of this
administration and OF the republican
party. I hold in my pocket a tele-
