the honor done me and through me to the state in which all my life has been ebent in my selection as a candidate for this high office I 1 appreciate it the more because it associate me in a contest which involves the very gravest issues with one who represents in hia private character and public career the highest intelli genco and best elint of his party with whom my personal relations are euch

coming campaign to contribute in every way possible to the success 0 the party which he represent and which as to the important of the times and for the beet interest of the people un certainty or to the money lon involves inget serlona conee quence to every interest and to every citizen of the country the gravity of this question cannot be there can be no financial security no business stability no real prosperity where the policy of the a to that question is all a matter of doubt i gold is the one standard of value among all enlightener ei commercial nations 11 financial transactions of whatever character all business enter ariee all individual or corporate in are adjusted to it an honest dollar worth cents everywhere cannot be coined out of 53 avata of silver plus legislative value such a debasement of our currency will inevitably produce incalculable loss appalling disaster and national dishonor it is a fundamental principle in coin ing recognized and followed by all of the statesmen of america and never yet departed from that there can be only one basis on which gold and silver may be currently coifed aa money and that basis is equality not in weight but in the commercial value of the metal contained in the respective coins this commercial value is fixed by the markets of the world with which the great interests of our country Is necessarily connected by innumerable busic eee ties which cannot be severed or ignored great and self reliant as our country is it is not great alone within its own boarders and upon its own resources but because it also reaches out to the ends of the earth in all the manifold departments part ments of business exchange and commerce and must maintain with honor its standing credit among the nations of the earth the question admits of no compromise it is a vital principle at stake but it is in no sense partial or sectional ours is one of the foremost nations and must have a monetary system equal to the best it is of vital consequence that this question should be settled now in such a way as to restore public confidence here and everywhere in the int eerily of our purpose A doubt of that integrity among the other great commercial countries of the world will not only cost us millions of money but abat which as patriots we should treasure sail more highly our industrial and commercial supremacy my estimate of the value of a protective policy has been formed by the study of the object lessons of a reat industrial state extending over a period ot thirty years it is that protection not only builds up important industries from small beginnings but that they and all other industries flourish or languish in proportion as protection is maintained or withdrawn I 1 have seen it indisputably proved that the prosperity of the farmer merchant and all ether classes of citizens goes hand in band with that of the manufacturer and mechanic I 1 am firmly persuaded that what we need most of all to remove the business paralysis that this country ie the restoration of a policy which while affording ample revenue to meet the expenses of the government will reopen american workshops on full time and full handed with their operatives paid good wages in dionest dollars and this can only come under a tariff which will hold the interests of our people paramount in our political and economic systems the opposite policy which discourages american enterprise reduces american labor to idleness diminishes the earnings of american workingmen opens our markets to commodities from abroad which we should produce at home while closing foreign markets against our products and which at the same time steadily augments the public debt increasing the public burdens while diminishing the ability of the people to meet them is a policy which must find its chief popularity elsewhere than among american citizens I 1 shall take an early opportunity gentlemen of the committee to communicate com to my fellow citizens with somewhat more of detail my views concerning the dominant questions of the hour and the crisis which confronts ua ns a nation with this brief expression of my appreciation of the distinguished honor that has been bestowed upon me ud in signification of my acceptance of the trust to which I 1 have been summoned I 1 place myself at the service of the republican party and of the
