]. Cannon Of Utah; they lament Dubois
IN Idaho has been destroyed, and they
are very sorry for us. None Of those
gentlemen are complaining; every one
! OF them stands where he stood then,
and all that they ask of their sympa-

VIII support them in this great fight,
which we all ought to make in the in

American republic. (Loud applause and

Of these gentlemen.
In Utah Mr.. Bryan received $4,000
majority. cloud applause.) There were
a great many silver Republicans in
Otah then; there are a great many sill
yer Republicans in Utah now in, prin-
clple. L VIII not account, or try to, for
the fact that you have no silver Re
publican organization here; and it
would be useless to discuss it now. I
know that 1 am speaking in a. COM
ly predominate; and it is so in the sec
ton OF country where l live and where
have lived for twenty years; and I
say this here now that OF all the true,
earnest and honest silver Republicans
in Idaho, the Mormon silver Repub-
hcans are the best and truest. loud
applause and cheers.)
Haven't Changed Here.
And you cannot tell me that down
IN Utah across the line the silver Re
publican Mormons have changed any
more than they have up in Idaho; and
1 trust that at this coming election
Mr.. King viii receive such a splendid
majority that it viii be .rIain that the
silver Republicans have supported
him. (Applause.) ,-.
I know who the ideal of the silver Re-
publicans of Utah is. and 1 know that
if that great, magnificent leader of
silver Republicanism, Frank j. Can
non, were here he would be supporting
Mr.. Bryan upon every proposition
cloud applause and cheers.) And 1
ask this Of all friends of his who ad-
miro his splendid abilities, his con-
stancy and character, and his man
hood, who were silver Republicans with
him. to send the word across the At
lantic TO him that while he is there and
cannot be here on account Of business,
that they thought Of him and voted as
they knew he would like to have them
vote in this contest in which his people
are 50 deeply interested. applause
and cheers.)
Silver Republicans give no excuse
worth analyzing when they say they
are going back TO the old party. / see
their organs announce that the silver
question is over; therefore, it is use
less to bring it UP or TO make fight
for ii. The silver question has never
been dead since 1916, when England
adopted the single standard Of gold,
and the silver question never viii be
dead until there is a permanent law
fixed and maintained which will give
an adequate and constant supply Of
good money TO the people all the time.
applause and cheers.) There has
been so much gold dug out since 1896
which certainly could not have been
fOreseen by anybody, that the supply
of basic money has been made as great
almost, if not quite, as it would have
been had we. had the free coinage Of
silver at 10 to 1. This enormous and
unexpected output of gold has added
to the worlds supply Of basic money,
and in consequence increased a little
the price OF products all over the
world and raised the price Of living.
1t would have been much better if at
the same time we had had the free
coinage of silver alGo; for with both
the great amount of gold and silver,
there would not then have been an
adequate supply of basic money; and
mark this. If through any dispensation
Of Providence the gold supply should
become exceedingly great, then these
same men would demand the demOne-
tization of gold and we would have the
timetable fight over again in some
form. The bimetallie fight is guam
titative theory money fiat and II never
will be settled until, as 1 say, there is
permanent and steady increase Of
basic money sufficient to meet the de-
mands of trade.
I have not attempted TO talk for a
long time; il hurts me. And you did
not come here to hear me; you came
here to hear that man who stands and
speaks in the same language; that man
who has never deviated hairs
breadth from the principles on account
Of which we supported him in 1886
why. he is entitled to our most enthu-
sjastic support as well as admiration.
You have come here tonight to hear
William J. Bryan. and I gladly give
way to him. cloud applause and
