speech introduced as the first speaker mr franklin mcveagh as the prominent financier of chicago mr mcveagh said this great assemblage had gathered because the nation and the democratic party were brought face to face with an impending crisis thirty six years ago in 1860 a memorable democratic convention convent ioa bad met etien also the nation and abo demo cratic party stood face to face wath an impending crisis then the unity of the nation was at stake now its honor was at stake that honor had to be preserved the agonies and waste 0 war north and south would turn to wantonness in the pages or the nations history if the country should have beca preserved only to become a defaulter and to pay its debts with fifty cent dollars continuing mr mcveagh eaid many of DS are earnest bimetallists eager to see silver and gold made equal 1 the coinage of our country that which at this crisis unites and gold is the awful spectre of rillor for the free conage of silver at 16 to 1 by this nation alone la silver and by all the unchangeable laws which h govern the economics of nations it must be that and nothing else the fact thai silver will not argue for silver but use the arguments of bimetallism makes their propaganda misleading and dangerous but it does not chance its aim nor would it chancre the dreaded results wo cannot hope to appeal with success to all of the silver delegates the great body of them would not listen to even persuasion persua eion the wild character of the movement is shown in and anger but there must be many silver delegates who find out of touch with fury and who can still be made to see where thia passion and excitement is carrying them and their party and possibly their country to their sober reason this meeting ie an appeal unless the silver men with conservative tempers intervene unless those intervene patriotism is more precious to them and whoso democracy is more precious to them than adherence to a single idea this majority will sweep the where will it it sweep it into the abiding sentiment of the people that sentiment which is the single defense ot tho nation it arill sweep it into hostility with tho abiding conscience of the na tion that conscience whose sober reason will abate all sophistries sophis tries for what will the aim be what will tho proposition be to pay the nations debts in fifty cent dollars and that is national dishonor for quibble as we may quibble as horace boies haa lately been quibbling the national debt is payable in the equivalent of gold that is the bare business fact backed by the conscience ot dispassionate americana and the world silver moans havoc it means ruin it meana prostration of all busi nee sall finance by a cyclone of panic there is but one class of men who could be benefited the silver men could not bo for ho would throw away for a temporary and irresponsible outlet in tilia market all his hopes 0 that per manent and responsible outlet which is only obtainable through the consent of the lending naiona na ions the farmer would not be benefited for if he got a silver dollar for hie fifty cent wheat hie dollars would be worth only fitly cents there is I 1 bay but one class who would be benefited and that class was described by al geld in hie alpe oria when he epoco of hinie elf as a man with a great deal ot property covered by a great deal of debt it will defeat ahn democratic party that is the faith of the business world and for that faith they thank heaven the democratic party can stand defeat in a worthy cause if necessary it can stand extinction for it has a glorious history that will live what it cannot stand is the odium of dilver and of paltering with the honor of the nation and the prosperity of if abo convention declares for free coinage at ac to 1 by this nation alone that action will not be democratic action it will ba action A leation may turn and democrats may turn populist but a million democrats will remain democrats no wave of

our country meet with no personal ambition to serve with no threat upon our lips and with no purpose to question the sincerity or honesty of any democrat however radical the differences within our ranks but we are painfully conscious of the palpable fact that ta the first time within a generation and for the second time anly in its hundred years of honorable life the great national democratic porty is on the of sectional and geographical division with its untold miseries aad the door is open for decision defeat we see new faces and new principles surging us on but wo have not yet crossed its threshold may god save us from the fatal step in a spirit K party which for a life time haa been to anany as a guiding of deepest love to our country for whom all would lve blood and life we ask the representatives of our baity to dauee and without or passion to consider well before surrendering democracy to radical and novel policy which we believe affects our nations lionor and we now must unite the north and south and east and west together in an and triumphant democracy the glory of our party has been in the past and ought now and forever to bo its broad national character it has been and ie the peoples party fighting for their cause against selfish sectional and class interests which control the republican party within its ranks thua far there baa been no room thank god for sectional prejudice prospective bigotry controlled by interest or any which would divide us on geographical religious 01 class lines rights not favors the people not classes our country not its sections are the maxima of our demo cratic creed idaa the time come when wo are ready to su nender these the cardinal principles of our faith to reverse the established policy of our party look to a

unit of value and to substitute fifty cents of silver for a dollar in cold and then to adjust the business of the country all kageo earnings and saving all debts and credits all public obligations and the national honor to this depreciated standard the demand comes from a ejection and a class and appeals to a paternal value where ja this demand a bound democratic principle doea it accord with the teaching and record of our party with the faith of and cleveland with its unflinching opposition to paper legal tender and sherman silver bills with ita constant undying enmity against paternalism and protection and its proud boast ot beloff the peoples party broad the nation controlled by no class or section of selfish interest may tha delegated bore gathered to proclaim our old democratic faith put hia question to their consciences before they plunge ue into heresy and schism never yet has this demand been plank in any democratic platform it was expressly repudiated n the convention of 1876
