For 30 years those who do not want ring bimetallism. We have patiently [ am in favor of an income tax. A man not willing to pay his share of the burden of the government which pro- tects him is unworthy to enjoy the blessings of a government like ours. The Republican party, without de- claring the gold standard a good thing, has declared the gold standard must be maintained. I call your attention to the fact that no party in the history of this country has ever in a national In all the world there is only enough silver to make a cube of sixty-six feet yet we are threatened with a “silver flood.” The greatest amount of silver ever produced in any one year was $82,000, 000, which divided among the 70,000, would be but a trifle over $1 apiece, This production would have to double every thirty-four years in order to keep pace with the increase of population. The amount of gold in the United Btates is about $4.50 to each person, while the debt of the same if divided up would be just $700 to each person, Can any one explain how $700 debt can be pald with $4.50 of “sound mo- ney 7" Colorado has six gold mines that produce gold at less than 10 cents ex- pense to the dollar ; over 63 which pro- duce it for less than 25 cents per dol- lar, and the average of the well devel- oped mines is about 40 cents. On the other hand, silver cannot be produced at a profit until the price is over §1 per convention commended the gold stan- dard. Its effects are so bad that party has dared to up hold.

Never since slavery days has the press in the parts of the country familiar to me displayed such disregard for truth, such stubborn obtuseness to the moat # obvious considerations, as it does at present on the silver question. This means that the money power seated in London, but with representatives in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, is determined to continue the appreci- ation of gold, and determined there. fore that the facts shall not be known. | The bankers and the press are almost everything we buy of those countries. Ho they all beat us on the trade, for example, coffee, luxury, “the cup that cheers but not inebriatea.’” In 1880 we imported fron Mexico, Central South America coffee to the gold wval- ue of 856 255.000. But for the 27.000, entirely under its influence, [I think at £253 in 1805 whereas in 1566 paid us $482. Our wheat at 8.509 when in 1866 she paid us $1538, and all other products in the same ratio. This is how we have been beautiful- ly buncoed. Meantime, wages in this country have gone down in most class- es of labor with the prices of wheat, corn, cotton and other commodities. So workingmen understand that the British gold standard means a higher protective tariff for British capital than British free trade can possibly be a factor in the reduction of American wages. But for labor unions and their resistance for 23 years to British poli- cy, which through trusts control prie- es of coffee, coal, oil, leather, ete. ete., the wages of labor would now be on the British-India and Russian serf ba- sis—five cents a day and a diet of rice and rats.
