yer dollar was worth 100 cents because it

He dealt in an interesting manner on
the present condition of the greenbacks
or the calling in OF the greenbacks and
the taking of their place by the gold note
which is payable only in gold. In this
connection he explained how the foreign
ment to issue bonds in order to pay the
debts, and the act of Cleveland by his is
suance of bonds will be re-enacted by the
| Republican party in order to meet its
Obligations. He stated that the dangers
| that have assaulted the Republics which
have gone down in dust and time are
| now assailing the sacred walls of this
Republic, and that the motive of all
monopoly was to worship gold, and that
wealth, when made the instrument of
government, was the wreck of such
government; that the present power Of
government was power Of greed and
that such greed would, If it continues to
succeed, overthrow the great Republic Of
America.
In the great question Of trusts, Mr..
Towne thoroughly enlightened his audi
ence. In this he stated that it was not
the purpose of the Democracy to confis-
cate the trusts, but it was the purpose of
the party to make an equality of oppor-
tunity that the American youth may
have the same opportunity as his fore
father.
That during the present Admistra-
ton more IL usts have been organized
than had existed in the past eighteen
centuries. That the Administration
had done nothing but obey the power
of the trusts, and it is safe to ask the
Republican administration what it
the trusts.
Tie proposed Constitutional Amend
ment was introduce only at the last
moment of Congress in order to maks
political huncomb, and that the Dem
ocratic members, knowing This, voted
against such amendment.

: kind Of a shock at Mr.. Towne's hands
: He stated thatwhen power, either
Republic or Empire grew to greatness
by greed, it required military system
to protect it; that no power on eartf
has ever exercised more pronounced
militarism in Porto Rico than is nov
exercised by any any other power il
its holdings; that you cannot hold TO-,
900, 900 subjects and $1,000, 600 citizen
under the banner of Republic, ant
that this was what the Republican
party of today was endeavoring to do
Read the Republican platform Q

= Declaration of independence is therei
contained. The men who love home
!, life and country, believe in the Decla

war of plumber and blood that is no,
defaming the good Constitution, an
that in the platform of the Ham
;, convention Mckinley may give inde
pendence to some men and not
others, but the Declaration of Inde
pepdence says that God Almight
gives liberty to all men.
On the question of Cuba Mr.. Town
-. rather opened the eyes of his audience
He asked the people if the people
Cuba were not fighting for their libert
