the convention conven-tion After the cheering had subsided Mr Tanner made a brief address in which he said Republicans are fortunate that in the coming canvass they can appeal to a very recent experience When facts become old they sometimes cease to be Instructive DEMOCRATIC SOPHISTRIES can always pervert history twenty years after the fact but experiences of yesterday wIll yield neither to sophistries nor perversion The arguments of this campaign will be painfully tangible Every meohanic who thrusts his idle hands Into his pockets will know exactly how to vote The circulating medium of a nation is its life blood Sound money brings confidence and encourages industry Agitators and demagogues never do greater harm than when they persuade the people to tamper arbitrarily with the standard of their currency The Republican party of Illinois stands for l nest money We proclaim the same financial gospel in Cairo that we do In Chicago and we do not have to call upon our fellow Republicans of New York to hold us level on finances Illinois Republicans know that if all that has been written regarding THE GREAT CRIMEOF 1873 were literally true it would have not no-t to justify the greater crime now proposed of making fifty cent worth of silver receivable by law upon contracts made uoon the faith and credit of the present dollar of gold Only the mot wanton ni dcaio would destroy the business and commerce of the United States by enacting such a law even if i had the power The Republican party i the agency which is to prevent such a disaster and i will not shrink one iota from its great responsibility Mr Hopkins was then introduced and delivered 3 brief address to the convention con-vention He expressed the profoundest gratitude to his friends who had followed
