tions from which they sprung, have
done much to arouse the people to
STUDY Of economic and industrial qaes
tions. Believing as 90 that truth

be made st this time, and | desire TO
here to express ny gratitude TO the
members of that league for the support
which they promise ard tor the eorolal
conme ndation ah;ch tier resolutions
speak. The monetary league has for
four wears been active in The distriou
tiop Of literature connected with the
>no,ev ON. stion aimed at the euhght-
eouent of the voters ard | have on
former occasions and do now express
nv conneuGa,ioo Of the efforts OF this
league and similar leagues, to spread
before the people information on the
money question, because | believe the
more the question IS studied and the
better it is understood the stronger viii
be the demand for the restoration Of
the double standard II the United
States. (Greal applause
While am grateful fer the conf
6epce which the Pcpulists have eX-
pressed in me, am not vain enough to
regard as personal ;heir extraordinary
manifestations Of good will. The ties
which bind together those who believe
in the same great fundamental princi-
nles are stronger than ties Of affection
stronger even than the ties Of blood;
and co. operation between the reform
forces is due to the fact that Demo
crpts Populists and Silver Republicans
take the side cf the people N their
contest against greed AID esrce IN the
application of Jefersorian principles
