passage. the schedules which had been
made while IL was in the house was
not satisfactory to the sugar trust, ana
they rushed to Washington city.
Hevemeyer was put In touch with
Carlisle, Clevelands secretary OF the
treasury. And what happened then?
Mr.. Hevemeyer who, by the way had
been introduced to Carlisle by stephen
Ellsins-did you ever heal OF steve
(laughter) of West Virginia? lie is
the son-in-law of the vice-presi-
Dental nominee on the democratic
ticket - introduced to Car Isle.
Carlisle found out what he wanted.
and he took his pen, Carlisle
did, and he wrote down himself ex-
actly the schedule which the sugar
trust wanted. and thereby put millions
into the pockets of the sugar trust,
and millions of tax on the American
people, and why? Because the sugar
trust had contributed Sz50,000 to the
democratic state campaign fund In the
state of New York. But l am proud
to say that the peoples party had
in the senate of the United States a
man who was not usnamed OF his
party or principles, and he brought
that sugar trust before an Investigat-
ing committee, which turned its books
to the open gaze of the people, and
brought down all the odiuln Of eApo-
sure upon that deal. l allude TO your
brave, able, true-hearted senator from
Nebraska, the Hon. William V. Allen.
Applause which was long continued.)
II you want any more sugar schedules
written as Havemeyer wants them,
look to Olney and the democratic
party.
Here comes Gorman OF the state OF
Maryland. Have you ever heard OF
German? He is cousin of Davis.
Stephen Elkins is the go-between that
introduced him to Hevemeyer. On
the democratic side Arthur Z. German
stands for the trusts, just as Aldrich
stands on the republican side, and |
appeal to Senator Allen If that is not
right. On the democratic side German
speaks, acts and works and fights for
the trusts, just as Aldrich does on the
republican side.
Then comes Belmont. Who is Bel
mont? The American agent Of the
Rothschilds. Now, you begin to see
don't you? You remember that Cieve-
land bond issue-the midnight deal?
Morgan, Belmont. Rothschild, Cleve-
land, night time deal in which the
bonds of the United states, one OF the
richest countries on earth, we're
turned over to this syndicate at pri-
vate deal. at smaller price than
many a railroad bond sells for; and
thus this bond syndicate. represented
by Belmont and Morgan, got from
the American people $262,000000 in
bonds, and we have NOT got thing TO
snow for it; we haven't got another
acre OF land, or another gun TO show
for it, or lighthouse to show for it.
What have we got to show for it?
The single gold standard. (Applausc.)
You remember how coin was con-
strued to mean gold, and thus by the
use of paper dollars, gold was raked
out of the treasury in order to compel
the issue of bonds to bond the people
until Wall street FOR time had
enough.
| beg to call your attention to the
fact that that situa--on remains ex-
actly where Cleveland left it. exactly
The same endless chain can lie worked
again; the same exchange of paper and
treasury notes in exchange for gold
can be made again. The same appeal
for bonds upon the American people
can be made again. 4ne only thing
that relieved the situation was the
discovery Of gold in Kiondlke and the
discovery Of the process OF working
low grade ores that can be worked
at profit now. And If those resources
should fail us tomorrow, we would be
in the same condition now as then.
Then the people can look for another
Cleveland administration, which was
the rottenest administration we have
ever had, in my opinion.
Some man tells me IN an eloquent
voice, look to the democratic party for
relief. Nobody expects 70 look to the
republican party, nobody. The widest
man knows that would not do. We
are going to regenerate the party.
Pledge 1t to what? Can you pledge it
more solemnly than it was pledged in
1892? Can you pledge it more SOL
emily than it was pledged in 1896?
Here is the handbook of 1892. that
tells what it was pledged to. 1t
was pledged to the removal of
the tariff which was denounced
then as 1t Is now in St. Louis
in 1904. The very same thing meant
as much then as 1t does now-and 1t
meant nothing then. anu 1t means
nothing now. (Applause.) In 1896
they went further and they pledged
themselves to the abolition of national
banks. They didn't do that this time
You put them into power in 1892. They
had the house; they mad the senate;
they had the cabinet the president.
They had it sll and every pledge they
broke, and did exactly what they told
you they would not do. Isn't that
true? The charters of the banks ex-
pired in 1893, and they were rechar-
tered for twenty more years. and the
democratic party did not make kick
They tell me they have got a new
tariff plank. l look in the campaign
book of 1892, at page 5, 1t is the same
as now. 1t means nothing there, and it
means nothing now. 1t is all done to
prevent you from going into the party
that means something for the east,
the west, the north and the south.

again, you are privileged to do it.
