Show air bryans speech 1 I am fairly convinced says mr bryan that h by the pening opening of on our r mints to free and unlimited coinage at the present ratio we zan create a demand for silver which will keep the price of silver bullion at per ounce nunce measured by gold in other words the parity of the two metals can be kept by this country alone and our coin will pass current in all countries at the sarrie same face value as at present we believe that is the position dependant free coinage advocates C I 1 mr bryan seems to be very sincere in in his advocacy of that principal and I 1 yet in his new york speech occurs this weak point when arguing that other countries would not unload their filver onus on us now how much can come here he asks then he answers not the coined silver of the world because almost all of it is more valuable at this time than it would be at our mints under free coinage if the silver of other nations would be dearer than ours under free c coinage then it is plain that our currency would be depreciated for at present our silver coins is as good az as theirs it is one admission that ought not to bave been made in order to have kept up the tone of his argument that a parity of the metals under inde pendant free coinage could be still maintained but bat throng throughout bout hout his whole speech mr bryan is very fair in his statements and his arguments are generally very good he does not treat the st louis platform as dobbe do the pop socratic republicans of utah calling it a gold standard document the republican publican Ee platform L he be says expressly declares that bimetallism is desirable when it pledges the republican party to aid in securing Dg it as soon eoon as the assistance of certain foreign nations can be obtained that is the issue republicans are not in favor of depreciating our currency carren cT lor or thereby we are only doubli doubling Dg our P present resent obligations ahey ey want to keep our currency on a par with that of other nations independent free coinage men want the f same ame good results and they believe we can force the rest of the world to come to our Etan standard dard mr bryau bryan gives no fig ures anres to prove his hia position but merely gives it as his belief on the other hand han 3 every nation that has so far tried free coinage of silver alone has gone down to the silver basis their coin being about fifty efty per cent le less les s in value than that of gold standard itan dard na tiona that is ia true of the countries of south america and aad it is tra trob of the asiatic countries japan china and india now while we want free comage of silver and would ie most moat hap py to see it inaugurated we do BO not want it al at 1 such a sacrifice for the doubli doubling rg of our debts would bring us aidee widespread pread ruination silver mono metal raeta lh liin m would be ba just as ruinous a god od homey of the we hear a great deal about the money of the constitution these days tile the deseret news is fond foad of referring to it the constitution dol docs 8 not as aa before shown make any reference to gold old and silver as money except to say that the states slates cannot mate make anything bing but bat gold and silver legal tender t be states cannot but CoD congress greEs is given authority to cola coin money without referenda refe renca to its kind bat admitting that gold and silver are the money of the constitution or rather as by james ir i blaine who first finst used it the money in existence vhf jhc n u the constitution was formed who want wana a to destroy that money thia the are for the use of both gold and silver kneir platform fur bimetallism as aa admitted by mr cryan bryan himself it only differs wilh the chicago a platform antho on the best beet method of of I 1 We securing free coinage those who stand for free coinage by international agreement tire are just ast as much for the money of the constitution as are those who stand for independent free coinage they want gold and silver to continue to be the money of our country co antry and they will wiil resist quite as vigorously 11 as 83 the democrats any attempt to fasten the gold standard on this country of curse the people of utah are for tho tha constitution and the ara ment that is being used that tho republican party is trying to destroy the money of the constitution appeals strongly to the religious religions con dictions vict ions of the latter day saints they may always be found standing up for the document on which rests the glorious union onion of states for they believe that god inspired that document in order to establish his baurch again on earth they believe far thedmore ther more that some day they will be called upon to save that instrument of civil rights and therefore they watch with zealousness any attempted encroachment upon it now the republican party has always been for bimetallism as its past enactments prove and it r stands for the money of the constitution go gold id and silver today it does not th threaten reat onus us with a gold standard as the platform plainly shows n neither e ither is the party opposed to free coinage of silver if it can be secured by interns dional agreement hence recent articles in the deseret news on the money of the constitution in III which the news holds up for praise the st louis bol teis are doing the republican party an injustice in fact the articles are doing the deseret news itself an injustice for they place it in a partisan fight whereas it professes to be a
