Free silver would depreciate i'll.
vestments; shake public confidence;
destroy values; cheat labor; impair
the savings of the poor, and produce
a commercial revulsion, the like of
which this country has never known.
Our first voters surely will not want
to use their ballots to bring about
such a. result. (Great cheering and
cries of No, sir! 'Never!D >n=l f.
Surely every young voter, who
has his spurs yet to win; his career 10
make; @his fortune to. build, will hesi-
tate before he will give his ballot to
party which seeks to create hostility
between classes and sections; between
the rich and the poor; between the
mechanic and the manufacturer; be-
tween the farmer and the banker.
lGreat AppIause) He will cast his
ballot to continue the equality of cit
izenship, .of privilege, of opportunity,
o. possibility, which has been the
boast of our citizenship, and is the
very cornerstone upon which our free
institutions rest. - (Applause.) .s,. J..
No young man will want to place
weights upon his own shoulder, or
raise barriers to his own progress.

field and Logan have stood, If, in their
tim time, they had accepted the doctrine,
which some now teach, that because
they were poor and of humble sur
roundings, they must go off by them
selves and shut the door of opportun-
ity to the best impulses of their
souls, and the noblest aspirations of
their minds? Continuous applause
The ballot of the, young man, as we'll
as that of the old man, the ballot of
the first voter, as well as that of sll
voters, should always express the
voice OF truth and conscience. 1t
should represent the calm and un-
biased Judgment OF the voter. 1t
should embody the highest welfare of
himself, his home, his community and
his country. It should never be false
to his convictions or opposed to JUS
tice and honor, either in public or pri-
vate concerns. 1t should express on
its face his best hopes and highest as
pirations as an individual citizen, and
always represent the greatest good to
his fellow-countrymen.
t.''sMay your votes, young gentlemen,
be always given to; preserve our unity
our honor, our flag, our currency and
cur country, and to save our blessed
inheritance always from lawlessness
dishonesty and violence. May yooH
votes always be given for a policy that
shall give us the widest development
in our unmatched resources; the wid-
est incentive to the invention, skill
and genius OF our citizens; the largest
reward to American labor, and the
highest welfare of the people, and
promote the best ideals in American
citizenship. / thank you for this
cal, and bid you good afternoon"
