Presidents Views ON Free Silver and
the Philippine Question.


the Philippine Question.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. c.,
Sept $50 the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge,
Chairman Notification Committee-My Dear
Sir: The nomination of the Republican na-
tional convention of June 10, 1900, for the
Office of President of the United States,
which, as the official representative of the
convention, you have conveyed to me, is
accepted. l have carefully examined the
platform adopted and give it my hearty
approval.
Upon the great issue of the last national
election it is clear. 1t upholds the gold
standard and indcrses the legislation Of the
present Congress by which that standard
has been effectively strengthened The sta
bility Of our national currency is, therefore,
secure so long as those who adhere to this
platform are kept in control of the govern
ment.
Same Issues Involved.
In the first battle, that of 1896, the friends
of the gold standard and Of sound currency
were triumphant and the country is enjoy
Ing the fruits of that victory. Our antag-
onists, however, are not satisfied. They COM
pei us to a second battle upon the same lines
on which the first was fought and won.
While regretting the reopening Of this
question, which can only disturb the present
satisfactory financial condition of the gov
ernment and visit uncertainty upon our
great business enterprises, we accept the
issue and again invite the sound money
forces to join in winning another and we
hope permanent triumph for an honest
financial system which will continue invio-
liable the public faith.
All Loyal to Silver.
As in 1896, the three silver parties are
united under the same leader, who, imme-
diately after the election Of that year, in an
address to the bimetallists, said:
1.-THE friends of bimetallism have not been
vanquished; they have simply been over
come. They believe that the gold standard
Is conspiracy of the money changers
against the welfare of the human race-and
they will continue the warfare against it."
The policy thus proclaimed has been ac-
cepted and confirmed by these parties. The
silver Democratic platform Of 1900 continues
the warfare against the so-called gold con
spiracy when 1t expressly says:
I'VE reiterate the demand Of that (the
Chicago) platform of 1896 for an American
financial system made by the American peo.
pie for themselves, which shall restore and
maintain bimetallic price level; and as
part Of such system the immediate restora-
tion Of the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver and gold at the present ratio OF 16 to
!, without waiting for the aid or consent Of
any other nation
The Paramount Issue.
So the isslle Il presented 1t will he noted
that the demand Is for the immediate restor-
alton Of the free coinage Of silver at 16 to
1. II another Issue is paramount, this is
Immediate. It win admit Of no delay and
VIII suffer no postponement.

Prosperity In General.
Our industrial and agricultural conditions
are more promising than they have been for
many years; probably more SO than they
have ever been. Prosperity abounds every
where throughout the republic. I rejoice
that the Southern as well as the Northern
States are enjoying full share Of these Inn
proved national conditions and that all are
contributing SO largely to our remarkable
industrial development.
The money lender receives lower rewards
for his capital than II it were invested in
active business. The rates Of interest are
lower than they have ever been in this coun-
try, while those things which are produced
on the farm and In the workshop, and the
labor producing them. have advanced In
value.
Our foreign trade shows satisfactory and
increasing growth. The amount Of our ex-

It win be seen that the power Of the gov
ernment has been used for the liberty, thu
peace and the prosperity Of the Philippine
peoples, and that force has been employed
only against force which stood IN the way
Of the realization Of these ends.

made under certain secret processes from
a combination Of silicia sand, fire clay
and cement Unlimited quantities Of
the sand and clay are TO be found In
this vicinity and the tile industry thus
started promises 10 become Of leading

his voice tuned 10 shout for his favoritc,
but all good naturcd In their cnthus-

OF the time the pace was slow and there
was little impatiencc In the crowd 10
see the riders mix IL up.
On the stretch Of the tenth mile Kline
rode up 10 the fence and forced Lavcr-
lex to pass him and make the pace.

decided otherwise and the decision
was taken without protest.

lead but Kline followed him just as
closely as he had followed Kline. The

They rode in that order up TO the time
the judges rang the bell announcing
that there was one more lap 20 make.
A moment after the bell tapped LAYER

lead was greeted with long cheering by
his friends and from that squirt 10 the
| finish the race was a. interesting as any
one could want Kline held close Ia
Laverick till the quarter mile was
passed and then gradually commenced
gaining on him. Half way up the
stretch the riders were even and Kline
continued gaining until at the finish he
was two yards ahead. The last mile
