He handled without gloves the pre-
posterous claim Of the Republicans that
II is treason for man to exercise his fret
will and vote for Bryan; reminding his
hearers that every foreign war up to
1898 was fought by the Democratic party
that the people without regard to party
supported the Mckinley administration
in the war against Spain and there was
never any faltering on the part OF any
Democrat, Populist OF Silver Repub-
lican, 80 long as a Spanish gun was
aimed at the flag
He read John Sherman's views OPP
posing expansion, and also read from
Froude's "Ceasar" regarding the change
Of the Roman republic into a military
empire, and tracing It's fall 10 the

ing how the same causes which brought

are at work in this country today.
at is said that II is necessary that we
should demonstrate that we are world
power. We long ago demonstrated that
we are world power. Ever since 1912
we have been recognized as world
power"
While exhorting his hearers to have
an idea above dollar, TO sustain their
ideals, he met the Republicans on their
own ground touching the prosperity"
argument. He reminded the voters Of
the fact that the revival in the price OF
wheat was caused by crop failures in
Russia, India and Argentina; that the
fair price OF hops this year is caused by a
failure in Europe; that the increased
value OF cattle has not been confined to
TO this country, but goood part Of our
beef has been shipped to London to feed
the British army engaged in crushing
the South African republics.
The republican policies which, 1t is
claimed, have restored prosperity, are
the Dingley tariff and the gold standard.
The rigidest enforcement Of the gold
standard was under Grover Cleveland,
the pioneer, double breasted, rubber
coated, gold standard president" How
could 1t cause panic under Cleveland,
and under Mckinley TO cause the coun-
try TO blossom as the rose7
The Mckinley bill was in effect from
1891 10 1895 and was in full blast in
1898. II the Mckinley bill could not

perity?
The speaker paid his respects 10 the
Mckinley bill. and raised a laugh by
saying il reduced the tariff on playing
cards 50 per cent and raised the duty on
bibles 20 per cent, and then VIM. Nc
Kinley went before the country as a
champion OF God and morality"
He showed how the gold standard bill
is bill 10 place the currency Of the
country In control Of the National banks
and TO perpetuate the national debt,
No national bank can do business except
on the debts OF the people. They will
link together 10 perpetuate the national
debt, because there can be no national
bank currency without national bonds,
and there can be no national bonds
without national debt. He said, ''ii
the gold standard is 4 good thing, we
are compelled 70 swallow a cup Of poison
in order 10 get lump Of sugar at the
bottom"
He touched the proposed ship subsidy
steal, and said that while the republi.
can party claims credit for ''wonder-
ful revival" in our shipping industry,
PRESIDENT Mckinley recommends the
Hanna.Payne ship subsidy bin 10 give
g9,OOO,OOO year 10 few rich ship
owners.
