man is required to trust himself on

free silver at the ratio of l6 to /. We
would take no more silver than we

bring his silver to this country and have
it coined into our currency unless he
invested it. Just as the corn bread,
we would take no more silver than we

the gold standard man is not that you
would be gorged on silver under free
coinage, but that you would use silver
instead of his gold, just as you would
fear if people used corn they wouldn't
eat so much Of your wheat. The gold
standard man knows that free coinage
would break his monopoly; his money
would not buy so much nor command
so much interest. At the same time
that his money would not buy so much
of your property, your property would
buy more of his money. And the mon

session of the house was to have been

of the evening representative Gaines
took occasion to roast the republicans
for being absent at Friday nights ses-

"You republicans have been acting
alphabetically and now you are acting
unjustly. You always bring quorum
here when you want to violate the Con
stitution, as you did in the Porto Kican

out of this body. You have been here
for three months with republican ma

have been held, and you have never yet
furnished quorum TO pay pensions of
old soldiers of the civil war, the Mexi-
can war, the Spanish war or the Indian
war, and the only man who has made
speech here tonight in their behalf is a

bread by international agreement" or
otherwise. You would want bimetal-
lism of bread eating less by ''interna-
tional agreement" than by independent
action of this country, for independent
action would leave you in control of the
bread market in Europe and other ex-
clusively biscuit eating countries, while
the international agreement" to eat
corn bread would knock your biscuit
monopoly clear out of the ring.
Those who have monopoly of the
gold of the world are in control of the
government not only in this country
but in Europe, and so long as they con-
troll they will continue the monopoly.
1t is therefore question of ousting
them. By the "international" plan
you must oust them in all the great
commercial nations of Europe before
you can have what you want yourself,
the whole.of Europe must go to eating
corn bread and oat meal cake before
you are allowed to do it, You make it
a world question instead of national
question, aud gold standard people are
not afraid, of himetallism if we must
wait for Europe to consent to our hav-
ing it. But if Europe said you must not
eat "de corn cake" would you, like old
uncle Ned let de corn cake be?. / am
persuaded yon would say, be damned

from eating corn bread by any fear that

ing corn and oats as we'll as wheat, and
gradually worked the government on
up to your monopoly on wheat aud to
where the people must not eat corn
bread or oat meal but must buy your
wheat, you, according to republican
morals, would be eminently honest no
matter how much the corn and oats fell
lows suffered by this thirty years OF
contraction to the wheat standard of
living, nor how much more they suffer.
But if now, the people seeing where
they are going, and how much they
suffer from your Vaccinations, wanted
to 60 back to the old way of living they
are dishonest and treat you very badly.
You didn't repudiate anything in com.
ing down from conditions after the war
but the people would repudiate every-
thing if they now went back to these
conditions. After the war we had an
abundance of greenbacks not redeema-
BILE in any other money; free or unlim-
tied coinage of silver, that is, all silver
was coined that was taken to the mints
just as your mill grinds all the corn
you take to it, charging toll in both
cases the same as for the coinage of
gold or the grinding of wheat, also there
were bonds payable in greeDback for
which the bonds had been given. From
that condition the republican party has
worked the country up to its present
condition. They have done it gradu-
ally for if it had been done suddenly,
good bye republican party. 1t has ia

Corn Bread.

Bimetallism by international agree
ment is not of course wanted, audney-
er has been, by those people who want
ed the gold standard. Two opposite
things are not wanted by the same
men at the same time. The Wocott
commission was no sooner on its way
to Europe, ostensibly to secure bimet-
allism by international agreement,
than the bankers hied after it com
mission to circUmvent it, And it ia
said the admins ration, at least the
secretary of ieeasury, did his best to
defeat the purpose, as naturally he
would do being gold standard man.

land, let loose its bal king apparatus

Certain classes iu this country want
the gold standard because it is to their
interestto have it. The very same
classes in Europe want the gold stand
ard aud for the same reason. These
classes everywhere oppose the use of
silver and paper money for The same
reason that you, if you owned all
the wheat in the world, would oppose
the people eating corn bread or oat
meal. You would have the world un-
der your thumb and could command
your own price for wheat either for con
sumption or as loan 50 long as it was
not lawful to eat corn bread, and so
long as you could have your way the
people would not be allowed their corn

rouse you up by an over dose all of a
oneness. The party has all the time
proceeded by steps and at the same
time wants to step hard enough to wake
you up, or if it partially arouses you it
holds up till you go to sleep again.
Perhaps the burglar will finally wake
you, but with pistol at your head,
large standing army and your vote of
no avail.
Now, my friend, would yourun your
wheat monopoly in your own interest
or in the peoples interests? of course
you would try to persuade the people
it was not good for them to use ode
bread, corn bread even for dinner. In
like manner the republican party would
like to have you believe that what it
does for the money monopoly is done
for you, But party prejudice must
have powerful hold on the man who
will vote lower prices for what he has
and higher prices for the money he
wants. A party that can do that must
have some sort of supernatural "pull.
international bimetallism" is now
however out of the way and it is now a
question of citizen independent bimet-
allism, or full surrender to the money
monopoly. OF course there never was
any thing in the international hoax,
except to get control Of the government
to pass the late gold standard bill and
thus take one more step toward q per-
feet money monopoly
The Wolcott commission received no
encouragement except from France, and
France would not act without England.
England has always blocked every
move toward bimetallism. She has
been on the gold standard "a years and
laughs at the idea of country having
ten billions Indebtedness against other
countries voting for cheaper money
Of payment. England stood out for
some 60 years against the world on the
gold standard. Yet we are told if we
placed ourselves out of whack with
Europe by adopting independent BIZ
metallism it would be death in the pot.
As matter of fact, the surest route to
international bimetallism with con-
tinental Europe is by independent free
coinage. 1t is as important to them to
harmonize with us as we with them. At
any rate, we can't afford to deny silver
free coinage or ourselves corn bread,
because the people of Europe can't have
these things. The submission of Europe
to the money monopoly is not sufficient
reason for our doing it. And only the
adroit management of republican lead
ers supplemented with the party preju-
dice and habit which came up out OF
the war could have got us as far as we
are. But of course party which leg
islates for the money power has greatly
the advantage in campaign funds. In.
deed, it is the dollar governing the
country rather than the man, and the
dollar, therefore, takes the cake.
There is one thing which alwayt
stumps rs: Why is the republican par
ty always for the top dog? 1t favorI
the money monopoly as against thiI
people; England as the creditor coun
try against this as the debtor country
It's sympathy for the money monopoly

the people about any step till it was Ia
ken, any more than they consulted the
people about the denomination of silver
in '73 or about the bill just past, in the
election of 1895. The whole move has
been in the interest of money owners
and creditors against the interest of
property owners and debtors. The
purpose is to enhance the volume of
money and obligations for money and
that means low5r prices for what money
buys. From tne conditions after the
war we now have greenbacks ledeema-
BILE in gold; limited coinage of silver,
and silver redeemable in gold if it falls
below par. Coin bonds, and a provis-
ion in the late bill 20 convert coin bonds
into gold bonds by the usual method OF
refunding. And, if the people sleep
on, the Lord only knows what we shall
have next. The money monopoly will
never stop of its own accord till silver
and greenbacks are retired, out of the
way of gold and their bank notes, just
as you with your monopoly on wheat
would not rest easy I'LL "corn, oats and
perhaps taters" were wiped out and nc

"WELL, THAT DEPENDS"
Bryan's Laconic Reply as to Paramount
Issues.


Memphis, Feb. %. Hon. W. j. Bry-
an arrived in Memphis at 0 o'clock this
morning and was given an enthusiasts
tic reception by thousands of local and
visiting admirers.
The early morning trains on all the
railroads were loaded with visitors,
most of whom came to hear and see Mr..
Bryan and to join in the celebration of
Mardi Gras. In the morning break
fast was rendered the Nebraskan by
Hon. W. II. Carroll and a reception
was held at the Peabody hotel in the
afternoon.
Tonight Mr., Bryan delivered an ad-
dress at the auditorium. The huge
structure was packed with people and
many were denied admittance because
of the jam inside. Mr.. Bryan was Civ
en- an ovation when he appeared on the
platform and his speech was libeI ally
applauded throughout. In an inter
view, Mr.. Bryan was asked
WHAT THE PARAMOUNT ISSUES
in the approaching campaign would be-
He said
"Well, that depends. There are
three questions before the public-the
money question, trusts and imperialism.
Men differ as to the relative value of
these questions, but the republicans
are on the defensive on all of them, and
their position on any one of them is bad
enough to drive out of the republican
party every person who believes in
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, For instance,
the currency bill, which is now in con-
ference, has emphasized the money
question, because it attempts to carry
the gold standard little further and
to turn paper money over to national
banks. Every new trust tends to en-
phasize the trust question. The Boer
war and the Puerto Rico tariff bill are
emphasizing the question of imperial
ism. But as l said, the republican par
ty is on the defensive on all of them
and the fight will be made all along the
line. All three of the questions, are
alive.
