demption of the people from the thral-
dom of money trust. how can any
man who voted for Bryan in 1896 now
cast his vote for what he then said was
the enslavement of his fellow-men?
There is but one argument which pos
sesses the merit OF truthfulness and
consistency, delivered by those who
have receded from the silver cause
since 1896 1t is that the extraordinary
output of gold during the past fifty
years has so far raised the prices of
property as to leave us without the
need of silver primary money.
BY this very remark they cOncede the
entire truth of our contention While
their argument is truth and consistent
to a certain extent, it is the very best
evidence that we were absolutely right
in 1895. and are unassailable in our
PRONUNCIATION of the doctrine on this
question today. We contended then and
we contend now that all the wealth
of the world is measured by the guam
tity of primary money. We contended
then and we contend now that, taking
the history of the human race by dec
AIDES, the prices of all properties in ex-
istence rise and fall in proportion to
the quantity of money of primary
power. Let us view this question en-
tirely without political prejudice, for it
is above and beyond politics If an in
crease in the worlds stock of metallic
money, to the extent of 10 per cent
during the past five years, has produc-
ed visible increase in prosperity, how
much wider and how much better the
