If they are in fact desirous of aeouring bimetlism we may expeot them to point oat the evil of a gold standard and d fend bimetalism as a evstera. If on the other hand, they are bending their energies toward the permanent establish ment of a gold standard under cover of a declaration in favor of international bi metallism. I am justified in suggesting that honest money cannot bo expected at the hands of those who deal dishons osily with the American people. What ia tha teat of honesty in monev? it must plainly be found in the purchasing power of the dollar. An absolutely hon est dollar would not vary in its general purchasing power, it would be absolute ly stable when measured by average pri ces. A dollar which increases in pur chasing power is just as dishonest ag a doll &r which decreases iq narchasi n cr power ('t eanpot be succetsiully claimed that mone-metallism or bi-metallism, or any other system gives an absolutely just stan-. uara oj vaiqe. unae r pom mono metau Ism and h(n.etaUisr4 the government fix es the weight and fineness of the dollar, invests it with legal tender qualities, and then opens tbe to its unrestricted coinage leaying the purchasing power of a doU lar to oe determined by tbe tumber of dollars.

Any legislation which le sens tho world's stock of standard money increases the rxchangab 13 value of the do!ar: therefore tbe crusade against sil ver mq-t inevitably raise the purchasing power of mum y and lower tbe money value of all other form of property.

The farmers are opposed to the grid Btaudard because they have felt its effecrs Since they sell at wholesale and buy at retail, tbey hY lost more than they have gainrd p falling prices, and be-. ides this, they have found that oertain I fixed charges have not la len at all. lax I es have not been peicjptibly decreased. although it reonirrs more farm products noW than formerly to secure tbe money with which to pay taxes. Debts have not fallen. The Jariner who owed 81,000 tS still compelled tu pay 11,000, al.b, ugb it may be twice a diqicult as formerly to obtain the dollars with which 'q pay the debt liailroad rates havo not been re duce! to keep pace with falling-price, and besides these items there are., many more The farmer has tbu) 'found it more and more difficult to live. lias he - 1 not a just complaiot agaioat tbe gold stan- arut "The wage earners have been injured by the gold standard, and have expressed themselves upon the subject with great emphasis. ' In February. 1895, 4 petition asking for the immediate reaioration of the free enq qqltnited coinage of gold and silver at . the, ratio of 16 to I was signed by the representatives of all, or nearly all, ot tbe leading labor organtza tiona and presented to Congress. Wage eanora know that while tbe gold stan dard rNi 1 ur-basing power of the dollar itaieo malces it m re difficult tn ob tain pofcMiion of the dollar; thej kw T J! B-N.T .' ' . that employment is less permanent; loss of work" more 'probable, and reemploys moot lens cerUin. A gold atahdard en courages the boarding of money, because money is rising; and it also discourages enterprise and paralieos industry. On th' other hand the restoration of bi-metallism will discourage hoarding, because when prices are steady or rising money cannot afford to bo idle in bank yaulta. I he tarmera an J wage earners wage earners together constitute a considerable majority of the p;op!e of tbe country. Why should their interests be ignored in considering finan cial legislation?, A. monetary system whrchr Is "pecuniarily advantageous to a few syndicates baa far less ao commend it than a system which would give hope and enoouragement to those -who create the Aation'a wealth. "Our opponents have made a speoial appeal to those who hold fire and life in surance policies, but these policy holders know tbat, since the total premiums res ceived exceed the total loiuaa n;,i . rising standard most be of more benefit tn the companies than to the polioy holders. "Much solicitude has been expressed by our opponents for the depositors in sav ings banks. They constantly parade bs fore these depositors the advantages of a gold standard, but these appeals will be in vain, because savings bank depositors know that under a gold standard there is increasing danger, that tbey will lose their deposits because of the inability of tbe backs to collect their assets; and tbey further know that if tbe gold standard is to continue indefinitely, tbey mav be com pelled to withdraw their deposits in order to pay living expenses. "it is only necessary to note tbe in creasing number of failures in order to know tbat the gold standard is ruinous to merchants and manufacturers. These business men do not make their profit from the people from whom they berrow money, but from the people to whom they Sell their goods. If the people can not buy, retailers cannot sell, and if re tailers cannot sell wholesale merchants and manufacturers must go into bank ruptoy. "Those who hold as a permanent in vestment the stock of railroads and other enterprises X do not include those who speculate in stocks or those who use slock holdings as a means of obtaining an insiae advantage in construction contracts are injured by a gold standard. The Rising dollar destroyt the earning power of these enterprises without reduoing their liabilities, and. as dividends cannot bo paid until salaries and fixed charges have been satisfied,-the stockholders must bear tbe burden of hard times. "Salaries in business occupations de pend upon busipeaa conditions, and the gold standard both lessens the amount and threatens the permanency of such salaries. "Official salaries, exept the salaries of those who hold office for life, must in the long run, be adjusted to the conditions of those who pay" the taxes, and if the present financial policy continues we must expect the contest between tbe tax payer and the tax-eater to increase in bitterness. ' The professorial classes in the main derive their support from the producing classes, and can only ecj)y prospvniy when there, is prosperity among those who produce wealth. "I have not attempted to describe tbe effect of the gold standard upon all class es tin tact 1 have only bad time t men tion a few but each person will be able to apply tha principles stated to his own occupation. "it must aiso oe remembered that it is the desire 01 people generally t'j o n- vtrt their earning into roal or Dersonal property. Tbi biingdiu, in couoidering ny temporary advantage which roay c rp3 trom a ytBm under which the dot lar rises in purchasing power, it must not be forgotten that the dollar cannot buy more than foriRti)y umIus property selli for less tban f rtnerly. Ilonce is will h seen that a laro portion .of those who may fiud some pecuniary advautage in a gold standard, will .Uiaoover that their losses exc -ed their gains. "It is sometimes asserted by our oppo nents tbat a Dank belongs to tbe debtor class, but thiaia not true of any solvent bank, .bvery statement published bv a poiveutoanK snos tnat tne assets exceed 1 l 4 . . the liabilities. That is to say. that while tne nana: loans a large amount ot money to its depositors, it not only has enough on baud in monev and notes to dsv its depositors, but in addition thereto, has enough to pay- its oapital and surplus. When tbe dollar is rising in value slowly, a bank may, by making-short time loans and taking good security, avoid lots; bu when prices are fallintr rapidly tbe bank is apt to lose more because of bad debts than it can gain by tbe increase in the purchase power of its oapital and surplus. uau avi a tuiuvitic luo UUIIUDM Ul a UUIJU broker with the ordiuary banking busi ness and these may make enough in the negotiation of loans to offset tbe loader ari&iPH in legitimate banking business. Aa long as human nature remains as it is, tit re w II always be danger that, unlets restrained by public opinion orlegal en actment, those who see a pecuniary profit for themselves in a cortain condition may yield to bring about that condition. Jef ferson has stated tbat one oS tbo main duties of tbe government is to prevent men from injuring one another, sod never was that doty more important than it is to-day. It is not strange tbat those who have made a profit by furnishing gold to the government in the boar of its extrem ity, favor a financial policy which will keep tbe government dependent upon them. I believe, however, that I .speak tbe sentiment of the vast majority of the peotle of tbe Ugited States when I say that a wise 3n,aseial policy, administered in behVi &i tbe people, wu!J trako iur j40ver.1n.tini independent t any coai ( Lin at ion of financiers, foreign, or doraeitic. ... Mr. Bryan qioted Senator Sherman, who warned against the danger of a cop. traded currency-fn, 1869. and also from Mr. Bland, who, in 187S eaid: "1 believe the 6lrngglo now going on in this country and other countries for a single gold standard would, if successful, pro duce widespread disaster in and through out the commercial would." .'.11 ? t rl ;a Mr. Bi-yan continued: "If it is assert ed, as it is constantly asserted, that tho gold standard will enable, us. .to borrow money from abroad, I rejily that the re storation of bi met alii-in will restore the parityr betweon money and property, and thns permit an era of propr. ly waich will enable the American people to be come loaners ol money instead cf perpet ual borrowers tvtn it we desire. t , tcr-. row, how long can wo contain up borrow ing under a system, which, by lowciirg the value -of" "property, 'weakens the foundation upon whtch.ciedit resU?" Mr. Bjyan said his party was not ask ing for anything new, but merely ic sis ting on areturn to xh$ poli6y of t ho gov - eminent from the first President down to 1873. - : - v .... v.ttl : . .. "If there tre two kfnds'of money the. option must either rest with tho dtb'.or or with tbe creditor. If the. creditor has the right to choosa the metal iu which payment shall bo mado,"it is reasonable to suppose tbat be will require tbo debt or to pay in tho dearest metal, if thcro is any perceptible dinerenco between the bullion va.ues of the metaU. This now demand created for the dearer metal will make tbat metal dearer, still whilo tho decreased demand for tho cheaper metal will make that metal cheaper stilt : If, 00 the other band., tbe debtor' excrci cs the option, it is reasonable to suppose that be will pay in tho cheaper metal it one may be percentibv cheaper than . the other, but demand thus created for the cheaper metal will raise its price.' The option ought, therefore, to lie wilh the the the debtor. Then followed tbe argument that government Bhould pay its obligations cot in coin oi tbe creditor's choosing, but its owp. . ' We contend that free and unlimited coinage by tbe United States alone will raise tho bullion value ot silver to us coinage value, and thus make silver bull ion worth 81.29 ounce in gold throughout the world. We also apply tho law of supply and demand to silver when we . say tbat a new demand for silver, cro.it ed by law, will raise the pricj of tilver bullion." ; ! He bad no fears of all the- world's. siU. ver being dumped into tbe United Sttea , mints. We cannot even expect any of the annual product of silver, because In ' dia, China, Japan, Mexico and all other i silver-using countries muBt satisty .their aunual. neediirQm their product, lno arts.. will require a. great deal. . There is but one way. to stop , tbp. increasing now 01 gold from cut snores, ana tnai is to stop failiog prices. The restoration of bi metallism will not only stop falling prices bat will to some extent restore prices by reducing the world's demand for gold. After answering every conceivable ar gument against free silver, Mr. Bryan appealed to New Yorkers to come under his standard, and closed with a porora tion in which, he refering to tbe hctcio statue in the harbor nearby, begged that Liberty might ever bo allowed to enlight en the world.
