chase what each must provide, with
dollars whose value everybody knows,
ami h:s Un.nvn from the foundation of
the fc'nvt rtinicnt, or must every man
carry with him a "ready reckoner." to
asceitain daily because of the constant
t'li'-Uintioii!; in the price of silver, how
much hi.-- hushei of wheat or his day's
work has yielded him?
The "debtor class" is a enniprclieii
nr term. It ineludi s all who fire in
t'.'M, whether the amount he larKO or
small, and the people to whom the debt
is owIiik compline tlie "creditor class."
(I'ler ou deduct 11:e people of inde
pciident fortunes, who are out of busi
ness, you have fill the other people of
Ih nelly included in the two classes.
I!' vmt a'e a wuije-euriier anil have

to the eivuitor class and are eiilith d to
A . lit- wane in the best mohev in the
i.i'.d. Your employer Is your debtor
and should pay you In the same money
which he requires from his debtors.
If you, my friend, belong to the Krent
debtor da.-s or the country, nud have
l.ropcrty and heallh. or ability to earn,
but not the ready money, be careful
how vim would hasten the day of set
t It meet by votinK for a chnmre. which
In every land, and In every tiRe. has
been accompanied by tie- most disas
trous results.
The I'nited States probably can have
free coinage of silver at any ratio which
Mil satisfy the people, when We reach
the point where we are entirely free
tod independent of every other commer
cial couimy. That time must be In the
distant future, because we cannot do
it so lotm as we are a debtor nation, or
m lontf as we have business relations
wilh oilier couinries. The man who
borrows mormy from his hanker can
generally continue to do so as lunar ns
he meets his eiiKueemenin and main
tains bis credit. If the time comes
when he falls to honor his obllpat ions,
or his credit Is Impaired, the banker
calls his leiins. Is It not true with na
tions as with individuals? He may in
voke the spirit of '"ti. abuse the capl
tiilnds. threaten anarchy, preach so
cialism, array Jabor against capital, nr
aanize Coxey's army, or lead the mld-dle-of-tlie-mnder
ill 1ld procession,
but the banker will enforce the loan,
sell the collateral and close the books.
PANIC AND FINANCIAL Hl'lN IN
VOLVED. The change from the present money
standard lo free sliver involves busi
ness revolution, disaster and ruin.
If ultimately a silver standard would
he reached, which would place us in the
category of free idlver nations, the
i .nth way from I he gold standard to the
free silver basis Is fraught Willi flan
Kcrs mid disasters which the Imagina
tion can hardly conceive.
J'ven the fear that the government
would not hp able to maintain gold pay
ticnts, and that we would be forced to
a silver basis has Interrupted business,
closed f.n torlcs. thrown men out of
employment, sent money into hiding
and paralyzed the Industrial and
iiH.ney-cai ning spirit of tiie people. If
this condition was produced by throat,
what of the realization of the threat?
The owner of money earned by honest
toil. In the c:;erclse of strict economy,
by depriving himself and family of the
comforts of life, will not give up the
dried fruits of his years of labor,
whether it be money, a home, or honest
Investment, until he is mtlslicd the
change to a silver basil will be to his
advantage. 11' he has saved something
from his earnings and has invested it
in the ravings bank, building associa
tion, trust company, life Insurance pol
icies, or other securities, he will not
forget that he mi ned that money when
dollars were ns ;:nod as srol l. lie will
r-luse to tnke fifty-cent dollars. The
fear that he will be compelled to take
money of such debased value will in
duce him to withdraw it before the
cheap silver dollar ionic.
In the whole country there wore last
year Ave million of our f.llov-etizcns
who had savings barks deposits ntn
ounting to $I.MK.0!)t,(ifiO In round num
bers. They cannot be very rich peo
ple, brenuse the r. vera e leposlt Is onlv
about $."0M. Io you imagine they will
let their money stay in the bank until
It Is worth, In purchasing power. In this
country or any other country, only one
half of what it was worth when they
earned It? Imirrino these savings
banks depositors demanding th'.dr
money the day after l'.ryan's ehn tlon
if you can stretch your Imagination that
far. We. had on the Hist day of last
July, according to the report of the
treasury department, $1 .."HH.bOO.Of'O of

about MilO.MOfi.HW! less than wuuld pay

I'Meot to withdraw thee ileiionttn
would bring lulu to the banks and dis
aster to the S.ean .000 of our poorer peo
ple whose average savings are less than
Vice, and would only set the ball tollir.g.
Take a larger view of the t..d. The
L inks of all kinds, the trust companies,
brdldlng associations, and oilier kin
dred Institutions. Iiuve over live thou
sand million dollars of money on ili-po.-it
which soomr later niiwl be

I'nited States. When they want it they
have the Heht to withdraw It tinder
tiie terms of the deposit. If i't- nt
biept shculd be made now It would re
quire three times the amount of all the
Pioney in the 1'nlted Stites to pay it
off. If they wait until free siKer is an
accomplished fact, they will get their

PO-SITIOM OP Till-: AKT1SAN.
' The workitigman In this audience who
o.'. ns his homo nnd has It paid for ex
ocptin'T a balance of $1,000, for which he
lias given a mortgage, will never have
tlie opportunity If sliver dollars should
come as "thick ns leaves In Valnm
I rosa,'' to purchase $530 of silver bul
1! in. have It coined Into 1,000 silver dol
lars at the mint uml with them dis
charge the debt. He will not do It for
two reasons. First of all. It would not
be an honest transaction, because It
would be cheating his creditor out of
$470. and secondly, the creditor would
not permit bint to, do It, He would en
force the payment or foiwlose the
mortgage and sell the property, end he
would do it loug before the era of cer
tain free culnage.
Perliups some of you who have done
me the honor to listen thus far would
inquire if the conditions to which I hav
referred will surely come to pass In the
event of free silver, why there is hot
now r ire evidence of unrest and ap
prehe.ion, when w are within two
months of the election. My answer to
that question is that the American peo
ple are now confident that no such
calamity will befall us. Their intelli
gent Judgment Is rising as a barrier to
stem the tide of socialism and fanatic
ism. Again you hear the free silver advo
cates declare thut we have not sulll
clent volume of currency: that free sli
ver will Increase the amount. Nothing
could be farther from the fact. Free
silver will at once drive $020,000,000 of
gold into hiding. It will be eliminated
from the current monetary channels
nnd the United States for a time at
least will transact what business there
is to be done on two-thirds the present
volume. It will not do to say that free
coinage of silver will nt once swell the
amount. All the mints In the country
cannot coin more than sixty million
dollars a your, and It would take ten
years to get the volume back lo the
starting place. Hut they argue that
free coinage of silver will advance its
pike and eventually brill it hack ,to
one doilir and twenty-nine cents per
ounce. There Is nothing but the alle
gation lo suoport the eWm. It dis
proves ilself. Did a big supply of
wheat ever advance its price? If Ike
product of all the Iron-ore mines, or tin
mines, or copper mines were dumped
into this country and reduced to the
form in which it would be most usefu
to man. free of cost to the owner, would
It have a tendency to advance the price
of the Mulshed product of iron, tin or
copper?
Tills same Chicago platform de
clares: "We are opposed to tile policy
and practice of surrendering bt the
holders of the obligations of the I n'!"
Stales the opUon reserved by law to III"
government of redeeming siieli obligations
in either silver or gold com. lllis c:ifi
mean but one thing: that Is. to W oil
the remainder of the war debt .ind other

depredated silver. This Is the tirs oe
niiind for repudiation made during thirt
vcais that have passed since the war.
"When our Institutions wore In liinger,

were robbed of the best and bravest mem

monev was needed, when tlie nation s
credit was being weighed 111 the balance,
then it was that her sons rose to the de

W.lether tne president of the I'nited

It was. indeed, a "I'eien of terror." Cit
izens with blanched faces and trembling
lips feared for their lives. The night came
lied with it Increasing terror, and the mid
night skies were made lurid with miles of
ilaiue. The work of obstruction hail given
place lo one of destruction. Til" munic
ipal authorities seemed powerless. The
strong arm of the stale was unpealed lo
to arresi further work of spoliation and
frenzy. The business of th country was
paralysed, the great arteries of trade nnd
commerce oasod (heir pulsation. Tli
wires were kept hot with messages to
Washington. Among the messages was
one saying. "Help us, Cleveland." and Ihe
Import of that message was heard. Troops
wearing the blue uniform anil the brass
button ami the eagle upon the button,
commanded by men who fought with
(Slant and Sheridan. Invaded the state of
Illinois ami the city of Chicago, but their
coming was like Crant at Appomattox.
The stern order, "Hnn-eiider." was soon
obeyed, and it was flowed by the direc.
lion that the misgillued men should go to
their homes aguin In peace and resume
their vocations, while Ihe leadorsVof law
lessness, destruction anil anarchy were
delivered to the proper authorities. The
federal courts heard the cull, "Help us.
Clevelend." and when appealed to break
the unlawful barriers that had blocked
the channels of Industry ami commerce,
iKhs and his coterie were brought to the
bar of Justice ami the thousands of
thoughtless men who followed his leader
ship went back to their peaceful voca
tions. Cleveland received the plaudits of nil
lovers of peace and order, and eonllclen.'e
In the federal Judiciary was increased.
Retrospect of those unhappy days finds
In some measure its counterpart in the con

The leaders wre perhaps as few In num
ber ns those rho ted the misguided thou
sands In their work of des. ruction. There
was a absence of (ool Judgm u, or. calm
deliberation; a wild nnd Indellnlte pur
pose sppenllng to the baser passions; tin
array of one section of the country against
another: of one class of cltizenshio uuulnst
another; a trampling- under foot of the
piinclpics and traditions of the pnrty until..-
whoso name ihey hud aiJembU d.
Tnrlr pUifonn snows respect neither ioc
the truth of history, the funds mental prin
ciples of nocleiy or'pairiotie love of coun
try. In some respects Mr. Bryao was the
Kugene Vjc'uh ot that assemblage, lie was
tlio founder of its passions. H trium
phantly declared that the silver crusad
thef Inaugurated would array fathar
agu.nst nn and brother against brother,
his desecrating tongue, profaning the sep
ulchre of our Saviour, made mrchandise
of the crown of thorns and too cross of
Calvary to purchase his leadership In the
unholy crusade which he nought to Inaug
urate. The trouble with this country now. In
my Judgment, is free trude aud free sil
ver. Mr. Bryan and his party argued for
free trade and promised for free trade
quite as much as they are now arguing
aud promising for free silver. Free trade
has been repudiated by the people every
time the opportunity has presented Itself
since the passngu of the Wilson bill, in
the general wreck and ruin entailed by the
advent of Democracy In both executive
anil legislative branches ot government,
scarcely un industry or interest in the land
remained uninjured. Those which survive
still feel the bll'-htlng effect. The ancient
Is repealing Itself in the present condi
tion: "The multitude In all countries are
patient to a certain point. Ill-usage may
arouse their Indignation and hurry them
into excesses, but the original fault is ill
the government." The people have shown
their indignation at the party which madu
the false promises four years ago.
Their tiist opportunity wus In New
York, where Cleveland and Hill learned
from the disappointed farmer, wujo earn
er and manufacturer that Morton ami
protection would place the Empire state
llrinly in the rtepublican column.

The meetings were densely packed
anil very enthusiastic. Thousands of
people throntfed the entrances unable,
to gain admission. The addresses were
mainly appeals lo the people Irrespec
tive of party, to vole to restore protec
tion as a moans of raising; labor from
degradation and Idleness and to argu
ments on the money question in refu
tation of Uryan's doctrine expounded
here two weeks ago. Every manufac
turing establishment In Erie, represent

was decorated this week and Hew
American Hags and McKlnley nnd Ho
