speech in the tent and part here.
want, however, to occupy your.
time fol- few moments in the conf
sideration Of the questions about which
you are thinking in this campaign. IL
want to show yon that the Republican,
party is today placing the doll ar above
the man and giving more thought to
money than it II to human rights. And
when show that, i do not want any
Republican to feel that / am question.
Ing his motives, for the average Re-
publican hasn't much to do with Re!
publican policies. Republican policies
are determined by the great CORPORA
tious which give the money in cam
paign times and control the party
between campaigns. tApplanse. And
IL you want to know upon how low q
level the Republican party wante to
fight the campaign, let me remind you
that the Republicans are trying to,
make the money question question Of
| paramount Importance. The money
| question was paramount In 1896, be.
cause the money quf stion is more i'm
portant than the question of taxation.
! When you compare the money ques.
| tiun with the QUESTION that oDn.
cerna the fundamental principles of
government you must admit that prin-
ciples Of government are mere i'm.
prrtant than monetary standards. tAt.
| plause. And when you come to con.
sidering questions involving human
rights, that man Is sordid, indeed, who
says that the money standard is more
important than the unalienabe rights
OF man; and yet, in this oamnaign, we
are dealing with the unalienatls rights
OF man ard with the self-eyident I'd.
dress proclaimed by these who wrote
the Declaration of Inderendence.
want to call your attention to these
questions that relate to these funda.
mental principles. but first, ! want To-
show you by contrast how much more
concerned the Republicans are about
money matters than they are about
these greater things,
In 1886 the Republicans said they
were afraid that We would have 10.
cent dallar. Terrible thing, wasn't it?
Aud yet they have gwen us an 85 per
cent citizenship IN Porto Ricu. lAp.
plause ard laughter. Is 1t worse TO
have dollar worth 80 cents or to haye
citizenship that is not up to par.

In 1896, the Republicans said that
we could not have double standard d
