The coming test OF the silver question
at the polls must, in all human proba-
bility, be the final one. The will of the
voters twice registered will not be the
third time disputed. Each year that we
preserve our present money standard
gives it additional security. The Amer
lean people do not like experiments with
their currency, their school houses, their
churches or their savings banks. y re-
versal of the popular verdict of 1S9G
would mean a reversal of all the achieve
ments that make up our national pros
perity. Bryan's election would mean that
the sovereign people had decreed that our
laborers shall be paid in silver, while
our foreign debts must still be paid in
gold.
Convinced as I am that the financial
question is the paramount issue IN No
vember, 1900. as it was in November,
1896, it is worth while for Democrats
who supported Mckinley, as did, four
years ago. to ask what are the issues
upon which our party could have appeal
ed to the American people with fair pros
poets OF success, and what we can con-
tend for in future contests, after this
economic and financial question is finally
settled. To my mind these define them
selves as reform in governmental admin
istration, economy in governmental ex-
penditure, the taxation and regulation OF
oppressive trusts and combinations, and
| the immediate enactment of just and
honest scheme of colonial government.
These would have been issues upon which
every patriot could have been honestly
asked to vote. Why should we not set
| fairly about a reform in our old system
of taxation. and. at the same time, initi-
ate departure which might well result
| in throwing the cost of government upon
| those who can best afford it!
| The silver problem solved once for all. as
it will be in November, the colonial prob
lem at once becomes paramount. We
must either give up Hawaii. Porto Rico
and the Philippines, haul down our flag,
and shamefully abandon the righteous
fruits OF our pfowess by land and sea,
| or we must prepare to govern these dis
tant additions to our country fairly and
honestly and capably. A per
petual, constitutional barrier must be
erected against the statehood of all our
non-contiguous possessions. That su
premely important problem is to be met
and overcome, not by cowardly evasion
or disgraceful retreat, for the American
people will tolerate no such course. We
must institute honestly and wisely and
administer economically an American co

present day unparalleled prosperity, in
which every citizen has right to share.
If any citizen is prevented from sharing
in that prosperity, he is the victim Of
conditions which cannot be righted by
the election of Bryan, strongly as he may
be tempted to trust in that remedy. I'm
der the gold standard we have become
the leading creditor nation, and we are
financing the world. We have produced
three great crops in succession, and we
are feeding Europe. We have had three
years of unexcelled manufacturing in
dustry, and we are finding prompt and
generous market all over the world. The
American farmer, the American laborer
ard the American business man were
never as prosperous as they are to-day.
1t is by their suffrages that this presiden-
tial election must be decided. In what
direction do their interests lie?
The American farmer is selling for
371b cents a bushel corn which it costs
him Is cents to produce. His wheat and
cotton, his beef and pork are selling at
profitable prices He is spending his
money in luxuries and enjoying himself.
He is riding in railroad trains, and, as he
looks from the car windows over the
bountiful harvests, he is taking new
view not only of his native land, which
was never fairer or happier, but is also
thinking of his new markets and new
possessions" across the seas.
The laborer is to-day receiving more
wages than he ever received before, and
he is receiving them in a currency that is
good all over the world. In many in
ha a
readjustment OF wages, and the sporadic
strikes now reported in various manufac.
turing centers point probably to the be-
ginning of this readjustment. In my opin'
ion. these and kindred difficulties will be
safely and speedily settled.
Now, can any sane man tell me how
the laborer will help his condition, or the
solution Of the problems SO vital TO him
by voting to debase our standard of value
and thereby reducing his own wages?
What has labor to hope from Bryan
