in order that the candidate and his party might pasa tha undisturbed strangely enough mr bryans speech to the ladies at powers opera house tonight was alie most important delivered liere it contained some new material and was noticeable tor mr bryans criticism of ln geroll halstead carlisle and harridon Harr lie faid in part ss at A vr you will remember that a few years ago there was a great deal of talk about a character I 1 dont know whether I 1 ought to call it a character or two characters but it wae dr jekyp and mr auyde you will remember that the same persona appeared at different times in different characters one time the man was a good man benevolent kindly disposed at another time the same person was a mean man a villain seeking to take human life 1 my friends we have the character of jekyll and illustrated well when we come to discuss the silver question because we can cite you a number of men who have been both jekyll and hyde we can cite you a number of men who have been kindly disposed and interested in the bublic welfare at one time and who at another time have been supporting support inc a system that means more misery according to mr carlisle than all the ware pestilences and famines that have ever occurred in history I 1 want to call your attention to two or three persons who have eaid one at one time and another thing at another time on this money question our opponents have been able to bring into this campaign all the moveably move ablo guns inobe country they have enlisted on their aide and are sending out over tho country a great many pieces of large and one of the ablest speakers that they have sent out is colonel ingersoll who brings to this money question bis great ability as an orator mr ingersoll is now using his great weapon ridicule against hilyer let me show you what he once said on tho other side of the question and be will have to talk a long while before ho can answer what he has said on our side and think it ii fair lor us to assume that we still bavo with us all of those who have not been able to answer themselves here is what he said in a speech some years ago to farmers for my part I 1 do not ask any interference on the part of the government except to undo the wrong it has done I 1 do not aek that money be made out of nothing I 1 do not ask for the prosperity born of paper but I 1 do ask for the of silver silver was demonetized by fraud it was an imposition upon every solvent men a fraud upon every honest debtor in the united states it assassinates labor it was done in the interest of avarice and greed and should be undone by honest men the farmers should vote for only such men are able and willing to gurd and advance the interests of labor my friends that is what he said when he talked to the farmer years ago what he said then waa true it is true now you will notice that one of alie most distinguished journalists of the day one of the most eminent men in bis profession mr murat II alstead is doing all he can to maintain the gold standard in this country on the of october 1877 mr halstead said this british gold policy was the work of experts only evasion was essential to success in it and possibly because coin was not in circulation and being out of public view could be tampered with without attracting public attention the monometallic mono system of the great creditor nation was thus im joeed upon alie gold debtor nation without debate the monometallic system of the great creditor nation was thus imposed on the debtor nations of the world because alie united states ie a debtor nation and mr II alstead calls it a british policy it was a british policy then it is a bibish policy today and all we ask s to replace a british policy with nn american financial policy in another place in his letter he explains the advantage of bimetallism the metals support and regulate each other the two abord adequate basis for an abundant and neither can be cornered in aid of the speculative schemes that are often prepared and always opposed to the general welfare and again if one metal rated according to the fixed ratio becomes de the option ot payment in the cheaper coin hakea a demand for it that enhances its value and the money unit is subject to slighter fluctuations in comparison with commodities than ia found in but one metal copper and steel together in the compensation balance wheel of a chronometer and perfectly measuring time through all temperatures pera tures illustrates the principle so that mr halstead at that time understood ahat the gold standard was a british policy and he understood the advantages 0 the double standard but I 1 will go to largle men john G carlisle who today stands as the depre tentative of those democrats who believe in the gold standard on this subject in 1873 in that speech ho said this contest must not caaso and will not caage until the industrial classee are fully and finally emancipated from abo heartless domination of syndicate stock exchanges and combines of money grabbers in this country and in europe he arent even further than that he said we will pass measure after measure of relief and if the president vetoes these measures and we cannot pass Jy ti L 1 them over hie veto we will put them in the ull with the distinct understanding that if the people can get DO relief the government shall get no money do you know of any more emphatic condemnation than that and yet that heartless domination still continues in 1888 benjamin harrison was elected president of the united states and in his platform I 1 find these words the republican party is in favor of the and silver as money and policy of the democratic administration in jie effort to damone aize dilver there is a republican candidate for the presidency in our country elected upon a platform which condemns the oue administration on the ground that it bad attempted to demonetize eaher and yet the second administration of president cleveland was infinitely worse than the first one eo far as the money question was concerned and yet the president who was elected on a platform plit form denouncing mr former administration is advocating ado cating the election of a republican candidate alio endorses mr Clev elande second financial policy a aslia |
