There is no longer any issue in regard to Federal elec- tion laws and the threat of the bay- onet at the ballot box. No great national question is, at this time, in the way of a full, free, fair discus sion of money, currency, precious metals, ratios, standards of values, units of account and payment and the bearings which all these things have on the general welfare of the great body of the American people. The silver question itself is plainer to the view, less obscured by the craft of its enemies than at any time since the assassination of silver money took place in 1873. There are no legislative switches now in expressed by law, has covered and determined all these points ever since the government was organized and will continue to do so. The real and vital issue now presented to the American people is the pro- posed elimination of silver from our currency, its total overthrow and destruction as a money metal and the use of gold alone. This is what is now meant by the movement against the free coinage of silver. whatever disclaimers may be made to the contrary. This movement means destruction of one half of the debt-paying money of the United States and of the world. If it should be successful it double the burdens of every debtor and multi- ply the gains and incomes of every creditor wherever the sun shines. “The debts of the American peo- ple at this time, both public and private, are appalling in amount. They haye been contracted on a bimetallic basis, and it is now pro- posed to make them payable on the basis of gold alone.

The decks, as it were of tie free coniage silver ship have been cleared for a decisive and final repealed the Sherman act. With my own {hand I wrote the following amendment to the bill as it came from the House to the Senate: ‘And it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold or silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, such equity to be secured through internationa! agreement or by such safegaurds of legislation as will insure the main- tenance of the parity in value of the not a particle of doubt as to the re- sult of the contest now going on. The enemies of silver will be driven to the wall. Silver money will not only survive, but it will be fully re- stored to its old place as a leading and controlling factor in the devel- opment and control of the country. its organization, but others will take their places. Both the old parties have divisions in them on silyer, but they will maintain their organizations and fight it out, leav- ing the outcome to a free people. I have been in favor of a free coinage of silver at the ratio fixed by Jef- ferson all my life, and whatever oth- ers may do, I shall neither abandon my principles nor my party.
