Mexican dollars and also about two bushels Of
wheat at the same time. There was time when
American dollar would buy only one bushel
OF wheat. II the time ever comes when an
American dollar will buy three Mexican dollars,
then IL will buy three bushels Of wheat" But,
unfortunately, since then VIC have several
occasions had dollar wheat and, on the whole,
wheat has risen, while silver has continued 60
fall. At present one Of our dollars will pw
chase more than two Mexican dollars; but it
will only purchase a bushel and quarter Of
wheat. OF course, as any child who had studied
the subject would know, the price OF wheat and
the price Of silver do not bear the slightest
relation to one another.
In his speech at Tsnlmany hall he said: "You
know that with the slightest prospect OF a for
eign war we would suspend gold payments and
go either to silver or TO a paper basis at
once" Wei, since then we have had the Spanish
war. We fought it to a successful conclusion
and no human being ever thought Of the gold
standard being suspended.

clarcd itself nation, Illinois, Indiana and Mich
Gan formed a part OF Canada. Illinois and In
diana were acquired by conquest during the
Revolution. Many OF the inhabitants did not
want to become a part of the United States any
more than did the people OF Quebec, but they
were conquered and brought in. Detroit, how
ever, was held by the British for many years
after the Revolutionary war ended, and was only
surrendered in consequence Of Jays treaty, for
what was in effect money equivalent The In
dian aboriginal inhabitants Of these states were
not consulted in the treaty, were the white
inhabitants of French extraction. The author OF
the Declaration OF Independence, being Of sane
and healthy mid, did not push the doctrine Of
the "consent of the governed" to a conclusion
that would have resulted in great common
wealth being confined to the east OF the Allie
ghenies, while this mighty west, in which ! am
now speaking, would have been left as a hunt

"Consent of the Governed"

Mr. Bryan and his associates cannot say
enough about the "consent Of the governed" doc.
trine as applying to the Philippines. They dwell
upon the fact that mo man is good enough to
govern another" In North Carolina, and other
southern states, we see before eyes the
process of the disfranchisement Of the negro
We see before our eyes the black man governed
without his consent by the white man. he 1t re-
momhered, 700 that the men thus disfranchised
have always been Mr.. Bryan's fellow citizens,
most Of them born as free as he was born II
our opponents are sincere they must necessarily
denOunce what has been done in North Caro-
lima with even more bitterness than they have
shown in denouncing what has been done in the
Philippines They say that in the Philippines
one man is not entitled to govern another, even
when the one does only to protect the other
from the rule of a savage oligarchy until he
grows able to protect himself. 1t Is matter OF
astonshment that such doctrine can be either
uttered or listened to without laughter, when
it is spoken by and to men who go to their
candidate pledging him the votes Of their states,
because in those states these very men do govern
other men without their consent. Until our OPP
ponents have removed the beam from their own
eve by applying their "consent Of the gov
erned" doctrine at home, let them hold their
peace about the Tagal bandits to whom their
words give fresh heart to shoot down our soldiers
in the far eastern archipelago.
The policy Of expansion is Americas historic
policy. We have annexed the Philippines exactly
as we have annexed Hawaii New Mexico and
Alaska. They are now part Of American terri
tory and we have no more right to give them up
| than We have the right to restore Hawaii to the
Kanaka queen or TO abandon Alaska to the Es.
| quimaux. There is not a particle OF difference
| between the cases. We cannot go back, FIRST
for the sake Of the islands themselves, and next
| for the sake Of our own honor. The men who
| are making spceches on the uprighteousness OF
our expanding in the Philippines might with as
| much justification incte the Sioux and the
Apache tribes to outbreak against us, on the
ground that we have no right to retain South
Dakota or Arizona. The policy Of the Kansas
| CITY platform is a policy Of economic disaster
| and financial dishonor at home and OF unworthy
shrinking from duty abroad; and we appeal 10
all honest, farseeing, brave and patriotic men,
north or south, east or west, whatever their Po'
| litical Affiliations may have been in the past,
10 stand with us now against the men who would
bring such abuse and misery upon our country.
| and 10 support us as we uphold the cause OF
honesty and Of industrial wellbeing at home and

Mr.. John Proctor Clarke, Of New
York, closed the meeting with rous-
ing short address, which brought the
audience to their feet. He insisted
that there is in this country no such
thing under our laws as the classes
and the masses, and that 10 try to
array the disconnected against the con-
tented was wrong in policy and wicked
in design.

Sometimes Mr.. Bryan would so into more spe.
cifc prophecy. In his Madison Square Garden
speech he insisted that savings bank depositors
under the gold standard would he liable to lose
their deposits and il the gold standard CON
tinucd indefinitely, would have TO withdraw their
deposits in order to pay living expenses Well,
last year QSl9) there were in the United States
56S7 900 savings bank dcpositoTs against $685.
900 in the year when Mr. Bryan spoke, and the
amount of their deposits had increased by S32J,.
OOO,OOO Evidently Mr. Bryan did noI make
happy shot when he propheced that if the gold
standard continued the dcpositors would lose
their deposits, or would have to withdraw them.
Again. in his speech at New Haven he dwelt
upon the fact that il the gold standard con.
tinued the number of failures among business
men would increase Well, in lS09 as compared
10 1906 the number Of failures had shrunk from
over 1900 to less than 10000, and the liabili-
ties from over S226 900 900 TO less than 100000.
OOO Again Mr.. Bryan's prophecy did not prove
happy,
In his Chicago speech he dwelt upon the fact
that ii the gold standard continued it meant
half time in the factories and double time on
the farms. You have only to look at any fac
tory you know to appreciate the unconsciously
humorous side Of that statement
II was on September "a, among other occasions,
that he dwelt upon his doctrine that wheat and
silver went up or down together and prophecied
as follows; "An American dollar will buy two
