THE PRESENT CRISIS
My friends, 1 have not recited these
facts with any great enjoyment, assure
you. 1t is humiliating exhibition to make
l myself find no particular cause of con-
graduation. But we are dealing with a
great crisis in the affairs of of this coun-
try, and in the cause of civilization itself
We are at pass in the history of the re-
public where a false step taken here may
lead to irredeemable mischief. If the peo-
pie of the country will do what they know
they ought to do, then they will exercise
the same judgment in regard to public af-
fairs that they do in regard to their own
private concerns. If they will not dispas-
sionately examine the history of
the political power which they from
time to time confront, and then will not
fearlessly inf1ict their punishment or hon.
estly grant their reward for duty failed to
be performed or for duty done, then, in
deed, Is this union but rope of sand, with
the institutions of the country more idle
than a dream, and the hope of eventual
salvation, in the temporal sense, of the
masses of mankind is idle Imagination.
My friends, in order to win this great
battle 1t is absolutely necessary that we
should go over into the enemys camp, to
use the figure of speech, for they are not
enemies except in a metaphorical senss, +:
but we must go over into the camps of
those who fought efor the gold standard
and who in 1896 got honest, patriotic Re-
publicans to leave those who had already
deserted them, and hearing the voice of
duty calling upon them as citizens to come
over and unite their forces with those who
followed the banner of reform in 1896, and
with them take part and parcel in the sal
walton of the country. If we cannot do
this, then indeed is the battle lost. and
that is the reason why, as 1 go from
place to place, I try to fix the attention
of members of the Republican party upon
the great fact that that was a bimetallic
party in 1892. and declared for the gold
standard in 1896, and that since it's decla-
ration for the gold standard in 1896, every
bit of it's public policy has been in the
of the carrying out of the scheme
of that policy.
CAGES POLICY
Why, my friends, look at the recent
of the secretary of the treas
ury himself. He comes before the congress
Of the United States with bill. He ap-
pears before the committee on banking
and currency to explain and to
defend it. He prepares a written
statement . giving the reasons why

how in the pursuit of the possum, which
ne had finally secured. had grown sc
tired that while the 'possum was preparing
he fell asleep. A little villain of 9
darky came along, and, thinking to have
some fun, took the 'possum, which by that
time had becom we'll done, and ate it, and
then he took the remains of the 'possum
some of the fat, and smeared it over the
old darky's lips and over his fingers, put
the bones down in convenient place, as
though the old darky might just have
finished repast. He put the bones away,
after taking off the meat, and then took
himself away.
Presently the old darky awakened. He
looked for the possum, and saw that it
was no longer over the fire. and then he
detected the odor of the fat upon his lips
He looked at his fingers; he tasted the re-
mains upon his lips; he looked at the
bones, the precious remnants of what had
been once the most luscious and engaging
'possum. He felt of his stomach, which
was trying to appear satisfied under the
stress of the imagination. And finally he
said: at done looks as tho 1 done ate
that 'possum. Oars de fat on my lips,
and dar's de bones, but afore de Lord dat
'possum has done less good to my consti-
tuition than any 'possum l ever ate before"
daughter and applause.)
And so, said Allen. the people of the
United States pick up the gold standard
newspapers and they say: "Why, prosperi-
ty must be here. There is the evidence
of it in the newspaper columns; here are
the statistics; here the editorial certificates
to it; there are the bones and the smell
of the fat before the Lord. This prosperity
has done less good to our constitution than
any prosperity we ever enjoyed before'
(Great applause) That is having it's effect
on the peonIe of fha T1nita1 Ctotoc
CAMPAIGN LIES
Then again, the methods of the last cam
paign are in their nature such that they
expire in their efficiency with one occa-
sion. You cannot fool a grown man with
the same transparent trick twice. as a
rule. The statement which they made to
the average laboring man in the campaign
of 1896, that all sorts of disasters would
follow the election of Mr.. Bryan, and that
unimaginable prosperity would follow upon
the election Of Mckinley, has been tried
and found wanting. Men were held up by
the national banks and told that whatever
the consequences of the restoration of sill
yer coinage might be, there would be an i'm
mediate effect on their relations to their
banks at any rate that would level them
in ninety days to the ground and then,
even against their own mistrust and mis-
sivinGs, they voted for the gold standard
ticket, and have since found that their
career from the time of election has only
been continuance for the most
part of the unhappy experiences of
the preceding four. years; and with every
effort and much travail of spirit and body
they were holding up their tottering indus
tries, and they have come to the conclu-
sion, my friends, that an experiment, If
1t be such, is worth trying in order to
The herald., 1898-02-13

the bill is proposed. and what its present
and ultimate objects are. He says that his
| first object, and the preparing of the bill
is in his own hand, is to commit the coun-
try more thoroughly to the gold standard
That is his language-to commit the coun-
try more thoroughly to the gold standard
Is that consistent with a desire to prose
cute an attempt at international agree
ment to get rid of the gold standard
when you are asking foreign nations to
help you to get rid of it, is it an earnest of
your honest intention to say to them at the
very same moment that the highest official
dealing with finances in your country is
proposing, advocating and attempting to
secure the adoption of proposition to
commit the country more thoroughly to the
gold standard? The house of representa-
tives at Washington is ready to carry out
the behests of this power, for whom the
secretary of the treasury is spokesman.
The senate of the United States is today
the bulwark of the safety of these United
States. (Applause) The house is no
longer a representative body. Under the
rules that prevail in the house of repre-
sentatives, particularly as enforced and
dominated by the person of Thomas b.
Reed, there is no freedom of discussion. no
liberty of debate. Everything is under
the absolute control of the will of that
single man, and those interests that either
overtly or in some other way dictate
and control his action in regard to them.
In the elections that are now not a long
way Off, there are several things to be
done. We must secure the house of repre-
sentatives in the elections of 1898. (Ap-
plause) And in addition to that we must
maintain our control, and, if possible,
increase it, of the senate of the United
States. We are daily making accessions
to our ranks.
BIMETALLISM WILL WIN
l want to say TO this large audience of
California that in my judgment the cause
of bimetallism and it's associated refine
ment can count among its honest adherers,
and those who at this very moment are
ready to show their devotion with their
votes and their efforts in a campaign
enough of the suffrages of the people of
this country to carry the elections of 1898
and of 1900. (Applause.) The people Of
this country have learned that psycholog-
ical prosperity is myth and an i'm
possibility daughter and applause) of a
good big size; that no man taking thought
unto himself can add cubit to his stature
and so the newspapers paid by the sover-
eign hand and controlled by the monopoly
of the gold standard powers of the world.
cannot make the people of the United
States think themselves prosperous when
they have so many personal evidences to
the contrary. (Applause.)
