Upon his return from New York, a
few days ago. Senator Marcus A. Ha una
nettled at once to his work at the head
of the republican national committee,
taking hold of the noonday nieetingsof
the Illinois Commercial and Industrial
league and the ('oyi niercial Men and T!e
-lail Salesmen's McKinley and lioose
velt club, now being' held in Chicago.
In a speech on Tuesday, October 2,
fcenator Ilanna said:
"This campaign, my friends, is narrow
ing down to but a few weeks, and yet it
is growing in importance every day, be
cause every day brings fr< sh to our minds
these issues which underlie all our per
sonal interests, as well as the bi st in
terests of our country. I say it is encour
aging for me to see that the business in
terests and the working men of the I'nited
States are awakening to the Importance
of these issues. I sometimes believe that
they have been waiting until the demo
cratic party brought in all their issues
before they decided to bring them up at
all. They are narrowing down now so
that with the short time left I am won
dering what other issues they can pre
sent. Every issue that has been presented
to the American public thus fur has been
lor the purpose of leading astray the minds
of ilie people from the real Issue. There
is but one issue, only one, and that issue
affects our material interests entirely. I
mean the issue of prosperity and the con
tinuation of it. That prosperity is a result
of a policy, the practice and professions
of the republican party. That policy has
not changed since the foundation of that
parly. It has stood the test in the bat
tles that have been fought, and with the
exception of two instances have always
won. The issue to-day is Just what it
was in 1596, only more so. The question is,
do the American people want as a founda
tion for their interest sound money and
protection to American interests and
American workingmen. That is all there
is in it. Because experience has taught
us that upon that foundation we can build
not an empire but the greatest commer
cial country in the world.
"I do not want to talk about imperialism,
my friends. That is layed out. It Is a bug
•IOOO. It was intended to be a bugaboo.
Jt was intended to deceive the American
people. And, as i said b< lore, distract their
attention from the real issue, it is an
impossible; it is a fraud; it is a numbug
to talk about the American people resolv
ing themselves into an empire, < r that a
man with the reputation, with the char
acter and ability of William McKinley
would be emperor. And that is where our
friends, the democratic party, so called,
have made a grievous error. They have
placed their faitli upon this fact, that
the American people are unintelligent
enough to understand these great ques
tions. Think of appealing to a citizen of
tile I'nited States that he should change
ids mind, change his whole career as a
public man, change the record of a life
time, his life work, to build up an empire
or even the theory of an empire in such
a country as this, ami the letter of Presi
dent McKinley has settled that question
in the minds of every man who has intel
ligence and patriotism enough to under
stand these questions. What the people
wanted, if they did not fully understand
all there was in that question, was simply
the facts, and they got them In that let
ter. And every fact stated there is a truth.
Therefore I say 1 do not care to discuss
it any further and I am waiting to see
what the next move will be on the check
er-board. There was a conference in Chi
cago recently of all of the head chiefs
of the opposition, and the New York people
are anxiously awaiting to know what will
be the issue when Mr. Bryan comes east.
Jle has been summoned there by his em
peror. Dick Croker, and he will be told
that he must not talk free silver in New
York. I have seen in the newspapers, and
i believe every word of it, strange to say,
that there was a deal made, that puts
Air. Croker above even Air. Bryan as far
as power is concerned in this campaign,
and I want to know of our western friends,
whether democrat or republican, whether
they propose in view of present condition
of affairs in our country to follow -any
man who is dictated to from Tammany
hall.
"Those are all personalities, but under
lying that let us see what this man stands
for. Everybody knows what politics is in
New York. Everybody knows the power
of one man in the rank of the demo
cratic politicians in New York, and if
there is anything approaching imperialism !
in this country, it is the power of the boss j
of Tammany. It wa< under his power ;
that no person was permitted to land a |
pound of ice upon the docks of New York i
without his permission, and that permis- i
sion was given to only one company. You !
hear about trusts. The Ice trust of New I
York affects every poor man who lives !
within the limit of that great city, and j
is the worst trust that ever was, and it
could not be made efficient unless, as was i
the case, the power governing ihe city of j
New York would not permit any other |
company to land a pound of ice upon a j
single dock of that great city. That is
the power which is the motive that gov
erns the men that arc now dictating the
pollelt sin this campaign. Now, my
iriends, from the standpoint of business
rn- n, it is idle for me to discuss in this
presence what would be the result of a
change in these conditions—of tills admin
istration. You all know that when busi
ness is in a normal condition what makes j
the volume of prosperity In business, oper
ating for the future, not from hand to
mouth. Every man who lays out his busi
i ess successfully must have confidence In
l be future that whatever policy he adopts
he will be on the safe side. In short, he
must know there will b-no radical i hanges
th H will overthrow our financial condi- j
tions. or sap from the foundation that con
fidence upon which it rests. We had four !
years of that policy of from hand to
mouth and we ail know then suit. No |
manufacturer, no merchant, no laboring
man knew from day today what would
come the next day. And thi refore he man
ufactured only that which he could sell;
the merchant bought only that which he |
could sell immediately, and the working
man was compelled to work only hours I
It took to manufacture and dispose of those '
goods, "'idir that policy the fires burned
out in our forges and factories; the wheels ;
of industry slowc-d down and almost j
stopped, and what was the result? iji.s- j
astir. almost despair. And it was under j
the influences of just such conditions that j
the people of this country arose in their ;
might in IS9K and put their foot upon the i
policy which threatened our prosperity
and Industry. By their almost united voice,
as far as the electoral vote was concerned
In the northern statts, said: 'We do not
believe in adopting a policy that will un- I
dermine the confidence in this country.
We don't believe in the promises made
by Mr. Bryan that we need more money.' J
We did not need more money. There was ;
plenty of circulating medium with our I
great system of commerce, to transact all
and more of the business of the day. What I
we wantfd was simply confidence Con
fidence that those pr&iclpleit whin I say

the rnlnrts of th* majority of these peo
ple. And they put thetr foot down and
said". 'We will have none of It.' It did
not make any difference to them, and
it dots not now, whether these principles
are republican. Jeffersonian democratic or
what. All they want to know is does it
Mean success and prosperity to ourselves
and families. They may bring all the
demogogues they command upon the
rostrum; they may attempt to create class
prejudice; they may lie till they are black
in the face; but they cannot fool the peo
ple. It Is that upon which my confidence
rests; it is that when the intelligent busi
ness interests of this country are fully
aroused with the Importance of the results
of this election there won't be any doubt
about them.
"I know how easy it is under almost any
condition in this country to create ex
citement in tills conutry. We have be?n
for three years of very exciting times
In the history of our country. Perhaps one
of the most important in all of our inter
national Intercourse. Hut I have not seen
any evidence of any want of confidence.
I have not seen any symptoms in the busi
ness and commercial circles in this country
denoting any want of confidence; and
why? Because every man knew that Wil
liam McKinley was at the helm. Because
every man knew that lie was sup
ported by a republican congress in
both branches. Everybody knew that
every effort would be made to settle all
of the complications and differences with
one single purpose, and that the best In
terest and honor of our country. It has
been done. Yet there is no argument that
I can make or any other speaker that
compares in force with that one argu
ment, to point back upon the record of
the past three years and a half. The
United States of America has leaped Into
the very front rank of nations, and we
are not only respected but feared abroad.
We have gained a position second to
none, and we gained it through the policy
with peace and good will and justice to
everybody. Therefore 1 say, my friends,
there is no argument so convincing as to
point back to the record of the adminis
tration of President McKinley, and then
ask the question, what is there in any
and every promise made by Mr. Bryan
or his colleagues that could better that
condition. He says that he is a friend of
the workingman. is he? How do we know
it. Has he ever proved it? Never. The
old issue that made Mr. McKinley the
hero of the workingman was the tariff,
which protected him. That issue was
fought for years, and I do not know of
a labor organization in this country or
those connected with organizations when
ever they wanted anything of public legis
lation or anything to protect their honor
or Interests that did not goto William
McKinley when he was in the house.
They went to him because they knew they
were going to their friend. The bill which
protected them and bore his name during
its short life was a monument to the
friendship that he bears to the working
classes of the United States, it was re
produced in the Dingley bill with some
modifications, but during the interim we
had an experience of a tariff for revenue,
and Mr. Bryan was one of the chief ex
ponents and principal advocates of that
measure, and so elated was he, so car
ried away with the success of the move
ment that he was one of the two men
who shouldered little Billy Wilson and
carried him around the hall of the house
of representatives on his back. Why
don't they put out a cartoon and show
him carrying Billy Wilson? 1 would like
to hold up that spectacle alongside of one
of Davenport's cartoons of me. I think
on that proposition 1 would have the ad
vantage of dignity anyway. No, my
friends, no demagoguery or subterfuges
are going to blind the eyes of the work
ing people of the United States. 1 know
them. I have been with them, and I be
lieve in them. And when Mr. Bryan shows
that overanxiety in their interests 1 know
that he Is not true to what tie says. He
simply wants your vote. That is all. Why
he even intimates in his public utterances
to-day that if he is whipped this time he
won't be dead yet. Ho w ill come up a third
time. Why, lie is a standing candidate
for the presidency. And I congratulate
the so-called democratic party that tliey
will be spared the time and expense of se
| looting a candidate every time.

our business, must end all this nonsense.

vies with everybody. All classes have
the same dress, amusements, etc. No
matter how poor, they expect the best
of everything'. No one is content with
simple pleasures. We really ' ' n't
. know where we are." What a contrast
to the French, who get so much pleas
j tire out of life. Look at the sensible
French parents, who lay by the li'Me
sum of money for their daughters from
the day of their birth. This is handed
over to them on their marriage; or. if
they do not marry, is given to them as
their portion. Whatever happens, this
is always something to fall back on.
We have an idea we are so provii'ent
because of our cheap clothes and food.
This is all a mistake.
The French women keep fewer serv
ants, entertain less, but are more care
ful to wear the best of linens and
satins; and. however simple their food,
like it well and delicately prepared,
says the London Chronicle. They will
not eat rubbish; they will not wear
rubbish. They are more refined, less
snobbish than we are, more practical.
Look at the simple French home of the
middle class, with the one or at least
two servants. The hostess receives one
day a week, does a great deal of the
housework herself and lives without
pretension. Look at iter cupboard of
beautiful linen, in which she takes an
old-fashioned womanly pride that
would shame her English sisters.
She is not ashamed if she lias a quar
rel with the cook in saying she has
cooked the omelette herself, or even
cleaned the family boots. I have known
main such good wivesand mothers, and
felt far more hearty respect for them
than for ail modern ranting, scream

reform the world, have not learned, or
rather have forgotten, the good old
fashioned ways.

American Bankers Discern Danger
to Securities.
President Mill of tlie Asaoelatloa
JHNCIIMMCN \ntlonal L.uiv* nml
the l\eo€-»*lty of u Ijold
Standard.
The predominating sentiment, de
veloped at the first, day's session of
the American Bankers' association,
which held its annual meeting at,
Richmond, Ya., Tuesday, October 2,
was that there is still a lurking dan
ger of this nation being placed on a
silver standard. President Hill in his
annual address sounded this warning:
"1 would iirmly establish gold as the
only standard money of this country, as
the past and present both teach that it
is the best standard. lam always in favor
of improvement, but I do not b' lleve that
everything so called Is properly named."
Mr. Mill drew a lesson from expansion
and then dwelt strongly on the new cur
rency law. He said in part:
"We must acquaint ourselves with tho
character of the people and the coun
tries to which our trade reaches. AVe
must know what these people produce and
what they consume, and the routes by
which they -can be reached most quickly
and cheaply, and we must Inform ourselves
of the chief features of their commercial
laws.
Must Have Stable Currency.
"But we need more than this knowl
edge of these people, their countries, com
merce and laws, If we are to dominate
their trade and be their bankers. To do
these things we need a currency of stable
value. No one will buy drafts on us or
deposit their money with us if these drafts
and their credits represent doubtful and
changing values while a competitor na
tion offers a currency which does not
shrink and is measured at ull times by
an unchanging standard.
"It is no answer to say that payment
in gold, if that is the standard desired,
may be secured by private contract. Tho
very fact that it requires a special contract
to secure it is a declaration that the gen
eral law does not afford the protection
desired. But, furthermore, it is not, s
a practical proposition, possible to entire
ly safeguard onesself against the unci r
tainties of variable currency through pri
vate contracts. The evils at home of such
currency are bad enough, but in foreign
commerce they are worse.
"1 think that all members of this asso
ciation will agree with me that a vari
able standard of value is to be deplored
and avoided if possible. Furthermore, 1 w
dispute the proposition that gold is the
most unvarying money standard, though
some contend it Is not the only or best
standard to be had.
"Mr. Bryan says he first desires to pre
serve 'greenbacks' from legislative <|e
structlon, and that he will then consider
whether they should ever be paid, and if
so, how.
Step in ItlKlit Direction.
"Since our last meeting a. step—though
not as long a one as 1 had hoped for—
has been taken toward fixing gold in the
monetary scheme of this country. I re
fer. of course, to the act of congress ap
proved March 14, 1800. It authorized n
increase in the national bank circulation
and leaves undisturbed our ten different
kinds of money, and it should therefore
not offend, though it may not satisly,
the monetary expansionists.
"This action leaves the standard silver
dollar a legal tender to any amount in
payment of all debts, public and private,
except where otherwise expressly stipu
lated by contract. It provides that noth
ing in it shall be construed to affect the
legal-tender qualities, 'as now provided
by law,' of the silver dollar, or of any other
money coined or issued by the United
States.
"Therefore all private contracts merely
providing for the payment of 'dollars' can
still lie discharged by the payment of silver
dollars, Sherman certificates and green
backs; that Is, it has not affected the
standard of private contracts. It has.
however, provided that something over
$839,000,000 out of about $1,026,000,000 of gov
ernment bonds, bearing three, four and
five per cent, interest, and payable iu
'coin,' may be refunded into two per cen».
gold bonds. That is, to be assured of gold
in payment of the interest on the bonds
they must be readjusted, as it were, into
two per cent, obligations on a 16 to 1, or
5 per cent, basis, so far as interest is con
cerned.
Dlust Pay for Security.
"In other words, the act declares that
'coin' in the bonds referred to shall mean
'gold' If the holder will accept in exchange
for his present three, four or tlve percent,
bonds others bearing on the average less
than half the interest he Is now receiving.
"There still remains unfunded into these
two percent, bonds about $550,000,000 of the
$S39,(100,000 that may be exchanged for two
per cent, 'gold' bonds. Having provided
for the possible issue of $839,000,000 of gold
bonds, common prudence demanded that
our gold reserve should be strengthened,
and this the act has done. But it falls
far short of establishing the gold standard
in this country, and does not secure against
the policy of a president or a secretary of
the treasury hostile to gold.
"The passage of this act means, in my
judgment, one thing we should realize if
we would understand the sentiment of this
country on the question of currency legisla
tion, and that Is that there is no hope in the
near future, if at all, in the lifetime of
this generation, of any elaborate currency
enactment along the linns of the 'Balti
more' plan or any other which contemplat
ed the issue of money by the banks.
"Before we can hope for any legislation
of that kind the people at large, the masses,
must be made to understand the necessity
of it and the justice and wisdom of its
specific provisions, and 1 care not how the
value of this bank money may be secured,
or how fair may be the compensation paid
by the banks for the privilege, it will be
diflieult work and take a long time to
persuade the people that the bank'rrs are
not getting an undue advantage and profit
through their right to issue money."

aid Mr. Bryan testified by inserting
