SINGLE GOLD STANDARD
(By Associated Press.)


LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 2l.-Before an
audience of 1000 people. Leslie y Shaw,
Secretary Of the Treasury. tonight dc.
liyered his third and last speech in the
Kentucky campaign Mr. Shaw paid spe-
clal attention to the money question and
referred briefly to recent utterance of
William j. Bryan, indicating that the
silver question would have prominent
place in the Democratic platform.
Referring to the money question, Secre.
tary Shaw said:
THE Democratic party won the cam.
palgn Of 1892 upon the issue of high living
expenses. But that issue could not be used
In 1896. And So looking for an issue with
which to win a campaign, the Democratic
party adopted the issue of the Populist
party. They said 1t was Democratic. II
was not; 1t was Popullstic. They said
It was Jacksonian, 1t was not. Jackson
was q gold standard man. They said 1t
was Jeffersonian. 1t was not. Jefferson
is on record as favoring the single gold
standard. But they made tho free coin
age of silver at 16 to / the issue, and Oh
that issue the case was tried. That plank
was reaffirmed in 1900. It has not been
disavowed. 1t has not been apologized for.
1t Is now an Issue rendered by the Dem
ocratic party to-day as much az 1t was
in 1886. The fact that It has fewer friends
does not exempt 1t from consideration. In
addition the great leader of the Demo-
cratic party, Mr.. Bryan, now as then,
more influential In the councils of his
party than any other man in the party,
recently declared that some phase of the
silver issue would be the paramount issue
