w. Jones, Of Chicago. rs the, next
speaker. The judge said that he had
never felt that he had told the truth
before so much as now In saying that
the Republican party had fulfilled all
Its pledges OF four years ago. He had
been down in the heart Of employment,
and he had seen 1t. We have difficulty
in finding out what the Democrats want
to talk about. One day It Is one thing
and the next day another. Now It Is
trusts and then 1t Is busts and so on.
(Applause.)
Indiana Republican.
There are important Issues before thu
American people to-day. Four years
ago In Indiana the Republicans and
Democrats got together and now we
cannot tell by how large majority the
state Is going for the Republican party.
Eight years ago Grover Cleveland pro-
missed us everything good under tariff
reform. In Cleveland's administration
most of the products we consumed
were made abroad and we paid mill
ions OF dollars to foreign laborers that
could have gone into the. pockets OF
American toilers.
The next campaign came around and
they had to get new paramount Is
sue. They preached 1G to l and thought
the government made the money. They
said we must have more money and 16
to l would give us more money. Sup
pose It would contract the currency and
that Is what 1t will do. Sixteen to one
Is only the measure Of the value OF mo-
ney. The dollar has nothing to do with
the standard, 1t Is the thing We make It
OF that makes the standard. Free coin
age would contract the circulation one
half. 1t would cut your wages in half.
The Democratic party tells us that 1G
TO Is not the paramount Issue this
year. Think Of It! Robbng one-halr
the laborers' wages is not the para
mount Issue. The proposition is in
their platform and is as big an 1t ever
was. They obscure the issues and tell
us Imperialism Is the paramount issue.
From the crack Of the first gun ut
Lexington to the last shot In the Phil
ippines we have been knocking the
tar out OF imperialism. The Democrats
were wont to boast of how this nation
had reached out and out until 1t reach
ed from ocean to ocean. This doctrine
Of imperialism was never heard OF un-
til their convention met at Kansas City.
American Pocketbook the Issue.
II the Issue Is not the American
pocketbook to-day, what Is It? We are
going up to the stars and II they are
getting away We'll shove them aside
and pass on. We are the greatest ma
ton to-day and over us hang the Stars
and Stripes that you and love. Whcre-
ever Old Glory goes. there goes the
spirit OF Justice and peace that We hay,
been taught In the cradle.
Hon. A. d. White was then introduced
for short speech. He had mnde =
speech in the afternoon and would not
take up any of their time. He wou,d
talk OF militnrism. There was r. oc.-,
responsibility OF Democratic n:G
publican craftsmanship In occurring
sovereignty In the Philippine Isla1ls.
MIR. Mckinley did not add one man to
the volunteer sold!ery OF this country,
Only Congress could do that. Only
thirteen senators and thirty-two repre-
sentatlves voted against the increas.
OF our army. The army was increased
Tor the purpose OF unfolding the United
states flag In n foreign nation. IAN
p'auseo You need not be afraid Of
your little army OF G5.oOO men, less
'nnn was engaged In many n battle In
each side In the Civil war. Not n man
Is there against his will.
our Democratic friends say It tns
COST us much blood and treasure TO
hold tho Philippines. We haven't is
SUED rs many bonds to do this ms Mr..
cleveland did to run this government
IN ','mes OF peace. 1t has cost us blood
hnu treasure, but It is worth 1t. We
WIZ never get anything without strug-
BIC ana cost. We have n nation IN,
equal OF any on earth. We have a
rres''ent equal to Washington and
Lincoln We have flag that Ia re-
speoted by ever nation OF tho world ne
u was never respected before. Great
npplause.)
