thrown 10 your faces whenever you raise
the argument; they will call your atten-
tion to it. They will say that it is proof
positive Of the fact that the free coinage
Of silver is wrong. There are not many
Of them in :his territory that have the
effontery, the bravery, as my friend
Boone one time said, that have the gall
to say, but some Of them do say it. You
meet them down on the railroad where
the corporate mobs howl and complain.
You 20 iuto railroad office, bankers
back room where they corner the money
OF the country, and they will all say,
Look at Mexico: 1t will be 6fty cent
dollar. Mexican money is only worth
half as much as our money; You can go
into Mexico j1st as it is today and buy
twice AS much with the A neric .n dollar
as you can with Mexican dollar 4"
As to what you can do, that is true
hut you can buy twice as much with q
Mexican dollar there as you can with an
American dollar At home Well, they
say II You refuse the free coinage Of sil
yer, then our money will fall to half
price.
NV, II you will stop and think, We
Can see how f,llacious il is. When they
tell You that, they assume that this gov
ernment aud Mexic, are equal In wealth,
producing power; they assume that they
are .qial 10 commercial power; they AS
sume that they are eq,.l in their rel4
items with the balance OF the world.
Neither proposition is true rns money
of country is high or low jn,t ss thai
nation has the power to make it high or
low The nation that has the wealth
producing power at home to make the
demand for It's currency great, has the
p,wer to make that currency high and
it's producing power high. The country
that has but little credit. the country h II
has but little power to make commerce
and it's power fel, around the world, ths,
country will make a currency that will
have but little demand When you as
sumo that Mexico Is .qu,l to this coun-
try, your promises are false; you assume
that which Is untrue. Why is It that
the American government IL che WAS to
declare for the free coinage uf silver, |
wonld force the world to admit its power |
and to follow in its trail2 I sill tell yon
why. The American government has a |
commercial power that Is .qn,l to all |
Elrope and Mexico CON mbined. THIS
American government that destroyed
Spain before breakfast (applause) i,
considered a fourth rate poser on earth
and dida't make breakfast spell.
Tnis country has n commercial power
that reaches beyond the sea and that will
pei the world to accept It's coin and
its value thereby; for CONNER.
cial power will forcs demand for CON
mercial paper and compel the accs ptance
Of our CON and will make the American
green back worth Eiglish gold in English
banks. Mt only Is the prosperity Of
Z ,vernment measured by its currency,
but 1t Is measured by its prosperity at
home and it's power to produce the
wealth Of the world, existing in its own
citizens. For il is n fact that America
holds higher The scepier OF power than
all the governments OF earth. WHAT do
mean by that? mean that the wealth
producing power OF thus earih measures
$40, l29 900 foot tons daily applied 10 its
production. How much Of that do You
suppose is the productive power of this
,ountry ?lt stsrtles the civilized world
e amazes mankind when they come 10
ook at the figures and the exact results
rom which MuIhall takes his figures, and
inds that this government produces l20,
'oO, 900 f,ot tons Of effective energy daily
Ipplied, which is nearly half Of all the
world. As say, a nations money rises
With its com nercial power, and conpsls
obedience for The balance Of the world to ,
Is power. Wnen the world comes to .
ee that America produces nearly half Of
ls wealth, and she dictates that her !

Sorld will take off it's hat, and it would
