He is here to for answer hiinseil'. We have done something else. We have not only cut down tantf. but we have cut down expenses of niniunj; tiie jrveniiueiit. We have not only saved you about J.Ooo.lMiO in I an IT taxes, but we have saved you about f'",ooi) in pensions. Von in. nt leuiember that the tariff and pe'iMoin are the two ureate.-t eure.. 'J he l'ipnii;l ,-ay lllat We need more money. That is true, and 1 admit it but the greatest trouble i. tliat what money we have 6t is now foncentrated in a few centers. We would have marly enough money now if it was distributed around. The trouble is the money has gone into the hands of a few rich men, and there is but l'ttle of it scattered down here; but if more- money was issued as t he People's party say they want, it would at once go out of your hands into the hands of nu n who are already rich. What is it that is drawing your money at this t me away from you 'i It is the tariff and the pension ; as I have said before these are the two greatest curses. The lie ubiicans have all the time steadily increased pensions. When Cleveland was m p.jwer we paid only .-,x;000,noo a year to Federal soldi" ers ; w hen Harrison went out of power you were paying $ 1 5 1 ,0O0,0oi a yeai. Mow we must slop this, the 1 emo'jratic party is the party to do it. Let us look at the People's party for awhile, it is a young party, it is not, able to do much vet, it agitates too much, it ought to stop it and not be stirring up bad blood in the coun try. The Slates where the People's party have gott.-n in power have been ii scene of discord and turmoil. Even Mrs. Lease says that the People's parly in Kansas has not given the people good government. In othei .jiiti.es lue People's party has had to legislate at the point of the bayonet, l'heir (iovemors have delied Presi dent Cleveland ; they are spreading l ox y loin, ev v ry w here. Let us see what the People's party congrt ssmeii and senators have done.' 1 Iny went to congress claiming that they were in favor of economy and low taxes, but during the last con gress they have intioduced bills call ing for ,so5,u0U,UUU,000 of appro pi lattous. i'liis is three times ao much monev as there is in the world. If these fellows had their way they would bankrupt the government. Besides Senator l'effer has introduced a bill to raise all taxes by a tax on land. .My dtar farmers just think of this, 1 Viler, the People's party senator wants to put a heavier tax oi'i you than you bear now. lotican nardly now pay the taxes that you Have to bear, and IV Iter wants to put a tax ou you poor farmers, flow do vou like this Kind of reform? lam telling you tins to let you under stand what kind of wild men are leading the People's party out West, iou People's party men here are honest and law abidifg, but those Vestern men are crazy, if you could realize what kind of folks they were, you would all leave them and come back to the Democratic partv. The Democrats have no ill feeling against you, we stand ready to welcome you all back, and when you come we will kill the fatted calf. FI1EK SILVER. The Populist say that the Demo crats are opposed to free silver , let us see how that is. I um as strong for free silver as any of you. 1 don't (piestiou your honesty in being for free silver, and you can't ip.iestion mine. I denounce the demonetiza tion of silver, if what has been dont can justly be called demonetization, i am in favor of bimetalism ; I am in favor of putting silver on an eiptai footing with gold. And if England, (iermany and other foreign countries won d agree to it we could have fret coinage heie right away, but the time is not yet ripe for free silver; if ii had been Cleveland and last Con gress would have given it to you. ii it had not beeu for the panic I be lieve that the last Congress would have at least commenced initiatory legislation on silver, but any how we are in Utter lix thau any other na tion. We have not struck down sil ver as the Populist say. Why niv friends do you know that the Demo cratic party is coining silver right now 'i As a proof of it look at these new silver dollars with 181)4 on them (and here he took out of his pockets several new silver dollars and handed them out in the crowd for inspec tion.) Don't you see that ? Don't you see my friends we are coining silver 'i Look on carefully, don't you see lal)4 on those silver dollars; they have uot been coined over thirty lays. We coined 743,000 of them last month. There is 50,000 of them now piled up in the bank at iialeigh. They are being sent out as fast as the Government cau print them to every bank; and to-day ev ery farmer when he carries his cotton to town is paid with these dollars. My friends we are all in good fix if we only knew it. W e have got more money to-day than any other country, except France. The Democratic party is not only in favor of fixing the tariff right, but it is in favor of jp" -i f fT The Demon of South into the hands tempter. silver ami State banks, and through these means we will give you good times. How can the People's party do any better than this through the Sub-Treasurv, free coinage of silver or any other plank in their platform. Free silver can't do much for you any way, for Col. Polk said it would only increase the circulation at -JO cents a head." At this point Mr. Simmons asked how much more time he had. He was told six minutes. He then said it was too short to 'develop another idea in, and that he , would stop if Mr. Butler would allow Wl11 takf UP hls speech just as he de . i ... , livered it and show that everv claim h.m to have this six minutes adui- that he made for hlg party wa; fcither tion in his rejoinder.

Mr. Simmons is the last man I ever expected to hear say aDy thing about 'the will of the people ruling ' He represents the element in the Democratic party that has no respect for the will of the people. He and his class think that they have a right to cheat any man out of his vote if he do s not vote the Democratic ticket. The vilest and most damnable frauds that ever dis- THREE PARTIES REPRE SENT.

Mr. Simmons said that during the ast ,u years mat trusts and mouopo-, lies had grown up, that the money if i 1 i l j . , & hands, and that 1 0 000 millions sprung up. lie said that .'ill years aro the weMlth 10-o.ln.rsi o,v-,i.wl l,,,H- the wealth of the country while to- day they owned less than one-fourth of the wealth, He said that only 2.'),000 men owned over half of the wealth ot the country. All of this is very true, but what I did he tell you was the cause of it 't He told you it wa3 caused by unjust charge that they have wilfully and '-When Hansom voted to repeal legislation. This is very true, but maliciously deceived you every time the Sh ei uian law,' said our inl'oiin he went on further and told you that they have made such a statement, aut, "he b.-t raved the people. It it was done through the tariff ; he told you that the tariff was the great- est issue. Mr. Simmons reminds me of a man who gets in the pulpit and preaches the true gospel against stealiug and then goe3 straightway and steals himself. Mr. Simmons' picture of the condition of the coun- try is true, ana sounds very mucn like an Alliance speech, but his ap-j plication is entirely wrong. Now, my friends, remember he told you that your wealth was being drawn from you each year to make million- aires while you got poorer.

This in iy seem t lie a loom! a i-crti'in but il is no mote than those who make up these statement! well know and would . lout. (less, pri vately admit. Tlo re is n such vol ume of money iu ircubitiori in this country ns is cm' k i in 1 m these statement; nor if there any nueli volume of money in th'-country at all, and thoc who make up thitr statements know this perfectly well.

They i Hot admit that there ha tieeli aMIlirlu Iiotli binned up, destroyed or lo.t iu any way luring the war or since. The same is t rue of riat ional ban k note and other form of paper currency.

Mow the treasury ofhcialit do not claim to have any evidence whatever of the existence of any such stock of gold coiu in eircu'a tion nor of half of it, and yet they put this statement out without any xplanation as if it were the truth. All in the world they have to show f )i it is an estimate male vear ago by director of the mint, Bu'chard, which was merely a gues to eghi with, and to this they have ad I im ports and production, and ! J icte.1 xporis without attempting to givw the amount of gold that has gone into ihe melting pot, or that has been carried out of the country by Ameri cans traveling abroad or by Chinese laborers returning home. Hence, the b!ack-face.l figures in these re poets, claiming to sho monthly the true per capita circulation, to say the least, are culpably deceptive. 'Secretary Foser, a few years ago, put out a statement of the vol ume of circulation at the close of the war, which contradicted the Continued ou fourth page.
