ha.. - i,reu<U:i from the course marked out

either public or j.-riv.-.te, who assails the
cluir i't--r of the nominees chosen by that
c-onv. questions the patriotism of
the millions who have arrayed themselves
under the banner here raised.
It has te-en charged by men standing high
ir. business and political circles that our
jdat'orm is a menace to private security
and public safety: and it lias l«—n asserted
that <h*ise whom 1 have the honor for the

are -fhe foes of social order and national
honor. Those who stand upon the Chica
go platform are prepared to make known
and to defend every motion which influ
ences them, every purpose which animates
them and every hope which inspires them.
They understand the genius of our insti
Btntions, They are staunch supporters ol
the form of government under which we
live and do build their faith upon founda
tions laid by the'fathers. Andrew .Tackson
has stated with admirable clearness and an
emphasis which cannot lie surpassed, both
the duty And the -sphere of government.
He said:
"Distimftions in society will always ex
ist under every just government. Equal
ity of talents, education or of wealth can
not be produced by human institution*?.
In the full enjoyment of lhe gifts of heav- n
and the fruits of superior industry, econo
my and virtue every man is equally en
titled to protection by law."
We yield to none in our devotion to thi
doctrine just enunciated. Our campaign
has not for its object the reconstruction o!
society. We eannot insure hi the vicious
the fruits of a virtuous life: vve would not
in vail e the borne oj the provident in ortlei
to supply the wants of the spendthrift
wc donot propose to trau-f-r the rewards
of industry to the lap of indolence. Prop
erty is, and will remain, the stimulus tc
endeavor and the compensation for toil.
e lielievc. as asserted in the declaration
of independence, that all men are created
equal: but that does not mean that ah
men are, or can have equal possessions it
positions or merit: it means that all shaT
stand equal before tlie lav*. and that gov
ernment officials shall not. in making, con
struing or enforcing the law, discriminate
between citizens.
I assert that property rights, as well at ■
the rights of persons are safe in the hands I
of the common people. Abraham Lincoln,
in his message sent to eougn ss in Decem
ber. IStil. said:
"Xo men living are more worthy to b*
trusted than those who toil up from pov
erty; none less inclined to take or touch
aught which they have not houestlj j
earned. ' 1

I repeat his language with unqualified
approval and join with him in the warning. ^
he added: "let them beware of surrender

...
llevc that ti
j
general public that the instrumentalities
of government have been so often prosti
tuted to purposes of private gain. Those
who stand upon the Chicago platform tie
govermueut should not only
avoid wrongdoing, but that it should also
prevent wrong doing: and they believe that
the law should be enforced alike against
all enemies ot :h: public weal. They do
not excuse jietit larceny, but they declare
that grand larceny is equally a crime: they
do not defend the oec ipation of the high
wayman who robs the unsuspecting trav
eler. but they include among the trans
gr-s-ors those who. through the more po
lite and less hazardous means of legi«ia
tiou appropriate to their own use the pro
ceeds of the toil of others. The command
mem "Thou shalt not steal." thundered
from Sinai and reiterated in the legislation
of ail nations, is no respecter of persons. It
must lie applied to the great as well as the
small; to the strong as well as the weak;
to the corporate per-on created by law as
well as to the person of fiesh and blood cre
ated by the Almighty. It follows as
a necessary conclusion that vicious legis
lation must be remedied by the people
who suffer from the effects of such leg
islation and not by those who enjoy its
lienefits.
The Chicago platform has been con
demned by some liecause it dissents from
an opinion rendered by the supreme court
declaring the income tax law uneonstitu
tional. Onr critics even go so far as to a{e
ply the name anarchist to those who stand
upon that plank of the platform. It must
be remembered that we expressly recog
nize the binding force of that decision so
long as it stauds as a part of the law of the
land. There is in the platform no sugges
tion of a plan of an attempt r o dispute the
authority of the supreme court. The par
ty is simply pledged to use "all the consti
tutional power which remains after that
decision or which may come from its re
versal by the court as it may hereafter be
constituted." Is there any disloyalty in
that pledge?
For 100 years the supreme court of the
I'nited States has sustained the principle
which underlies the income tax. .Some JO
years ago this same court sustained, with
out a dissenting voice, an income tax law
almost identical with the one recently
overthrown. Has not a futnre court as
much right to return to the judic>tl
precedents of a century as the pres jS
court has to depart from them* When
courts allow rehenrings they admit that
error is possible. The late decision against,
the income tax was rendered by a majority
of one after a rehearing.
While the money question overshadows
all other questions in importance, I desire
it distinctly understood that I shall offer
no apology for the income tax plank of
the Chicago platform. The last income tax
law sought to apportion the burdens of
the government more equitably among
those who enjoy the protection of the
government. At present the expenses of
the Federal government, collected through
internal revenue taxes and import duties,
are especially burdensome upon the poorer
classes of society. A law which collects
from some citizens more than their share!
of taxes and collects from other citi -1
zens less than their share is simply an in
;
cause they were not compel led to pay a to-!
tal Federe. tax greater than their
direct means of the transferring of oi'<
man's property to another man's pockt :
and while the process may lie quite satis
factory to i he men who escape just taxa
tion. it can never be satisfactory to those
who are overburdened. The last income
tax law with its exemption provisions,
when considered in connection with other
methods of taxation in force, was not un

The Hoatf Qeeettee.
Now let me ask you to consider the par
amount question of this campaign—the
money question. It is scarcely necessary
to defend the principle of bimetallism.
Xo national party during the entire history
of the United States has ever declared
against it. ami no party in this camp; '
.—.. ........ . ..
has luiu the temerity to oppose it. Three
parties, the Democratic. Populist and Sil
ver parties, have not onlv declared for bi
metallism, hut have <intlined the specific
legislation necessary to restore silver to it
ancient position by the side of gold. The
Republican plat form expressly deciar* '
-that Mmer.-i'.' «U.-;ruble v.'„. .i n
idedges tite Republican party to aid in se

tln-.r judgment it "would retart! orentire
ly prevent the establishment c.f interna
tiomU bimetallism to which the efforts of
the government should be steadily tli

When they asserted that the efforts of
^government should lie steadily directed
toward the establishment of international

cannot stand for one day in any nation in
the world. ,t was fastened on the liiited
States without discussion liefotvthe people
sial its friends have never yet been willing
to risk a verdict before the voters upon
that issue.
There can be no sympathy or coopera
tion between the advocates of a universal
gold standard and the advocates of bimet
alusm. Between bimetallism, whether
independent or international, and the gold
standard there is an impassable gulf. Is
this quiulrennial agitation in favor of in
ternational bimetallism conducted in good
faith, or do our opponents desire to main
tain the gold standard permanently? Are
they willing to confess the superiority of
a double standard when joined in by the
trading nations of the world, or do they
still insist that gold is the only metal suit
able for standard Bionc-y among civilized
nations? If they are, in fact, desirous of
securing bimetallism, we mav expect
them to po ; nt out the evils of a gold
standard and defend bimetallism as a sys
tem. If. on the other band, they are bend
ing their energies toward the permanent
establishment of a gold standard under
cover of a declaration in favor of interna
tional bimetallism, I am justified in sug
gesting that honest money cannot be ex
pected at the hands of those who deal dis
honestly with the American people. What
is the test of honesty in money? It must
certainly be sound in the purchasing power
of the dollar. An absolutely honest dollar
would not vary in its general purchasing
power: It would be absolutely stable when

which increases in "purchasing nower is
just as dishonest as a dollar which de
creases in purchasing power.
Professor Laturhli'n now of the T'ni
versitvof Oiicago. and tmeoft he highest
bimetallism not only admits that gold does
not remain absolutely stable in value, but
expressly asserts that there is no such
thins *** a standard of value for future
payments. either in gold or silver, which
remains absolutely invariable. He even
suggests that a multiple standard wherein
the unit is based upou tbe selling price of
a number of articles of general consnmp
tinn "would be a more just standard than
either gold or silver or both, because a
longtime contract would thereby be paid
at its maturity by the same purchasing
power as was given in the beginning."
It cannot be successfully claimed that
monometallism or bimetallism or any oth
er system rives an absolutely just standard
of value. Under both monometallism and
bimetallism the government fixes the
weight and fineness of the dollar, invests it
with legal tender qualities and then opens
the mints to its unrestricted coinage, leav
ing the purehasirig power of the dollar to
be determineil by the number of dollars.
Bimetallism is better than monometallism,
not because it give* us a perfect dollar—
that Is a dollar absolutely unvarying in its
general purchasing power—but "because it
makes a nearer approach to stability, to
honesty, to justice thau a gold standard
possibly can.

Prior to 1873. when there were enough
open mints to permit all the gold and sil
ver available for coinage to find entrance
into the world's volume of standard
money, the United States might have
maintained a gold standard with less in
jury to the people of this country- but
now, when each step toward a universal
gold standard enhances the purchasing
power gold depresses prices and transfers
to the pocket of the creditor class an un
cept the natural and legitimate conse
quence of such an act. Anv legislation
which lessens the world's stock of standard
money increases the excangeable value of
the dollar: therefore the crusade against
silver must inevitably raise the purchas
ing power of money and lower the money
value of all other forms of property.

was a mistake to demonetize silver, but

prices. Reside these items there are ms:
more. The <armer has thus found com
plaint nizain*: the gold standard. The
wagei-at tiers have been injured by a gold
standard and have expressed themselve-
on the subject with great empnas:-. In
February, lsifl, a petition asking for the
immediate restoration of the free and un
limited coinage of gold and silver at 3fi t«>
1 was signet! bv the representatives of all
or tiearlv all the leading labor organiza
tions and presented to congress. Wage
earners know that while a gold standard
raises the purchasing power of the dollar
it also makes it more diflRctit to obtain
liossession of the dollar: tbey know that
employment L lc*s permanent. los~ of
i work more probable and reemployment
! le-s certain.
; A cold standard encourages the hoard
ing f money la-cause money is rising: it
also discourages ent e r p r is e s and paralyzes
industrv. On the o.'her hand, tbe restora
tion of biiiK Uillism will discourage hoard
ing. because when [-rices are steady or ris
ing. money cannot afford to lie idle in the
j bank vaults. The farmers and wago-nro
; ers together constitute a considerable me.
, joritv of the Jjeople of the country. Whv
j should their interests be ignored in con-;.}
' ering financial legislation? A monetary
; sy-:< m which is pecuniarily advantageous
, to a few syndicates has far less to cont
I mend it than a system which would give
j hope and encc uragement to those who cre
ate the nation's wealth.

Much solicitude has been expressed by
our o; orients for tie- depositors in savings
banks. They constantly parade before
tbese depositors the advantages of a gold
standard, but these appeals will be in vain,
because savings bank depositors know that
under a gold standard there is increasing
danger that they will lose their deposits,
because of tbe inability of the banks tocol
lect their assessments: and they still know
that if the gold standard is to continue in

*;> know that a [rohl standard is ruinous to
merchants and manufacturers. These
iiusiucss nit-u do not make their profits
from the people from whom they borrow
money, but from tbe people whom they
tell their goods. If the people cannot buy
retaiieis cannot seli, and tbe if retailers
cannot sell, wholesale merchants and man
facturers must go into bankruptcy.
Those who hold as a permanent invest
meat the stock of railroads and of other
enteqiriscs—I do not include those who
speculate i:i stocks or use stockholdings as
a means of obtaining an in-ide advantage
in constructing contracts—are injured by
a gold standard. The rising dollar de
stroys the earning power of these without
reducing their liabilities, and as dividends
cannot be paid until salaries and fixed
charges have been satisfied, the stockhold
ers must bear the burden of hard times.

It must also be remembered that it is
the desire of the people gee rally to con
vert their earnings into real or personal
property, this being true, in considering
any temporerv advantage which may come
from a system under which the dollar
risw in its purchasing power, it must not
be forgotten that tbe dollar cannot buy
more man formerly, unless property sella
for less than formerly. Hence it will be
seen that a large portion of those who find
some pecuniary advantage in a gold stand
ard will discover that their losses exceed
their gains.
It is sometimes asserted by our oppo
nents that a bank belongs to the deotor
class, but this is not true of any solvent
bank. Every statement published by a
solvent bank shows that the - ptiWu
the liabilities. That is to aay, while^he
bank owes a large amount of money to its
depositors, it not only haa enough on hand
in money and notes to pay its depositors,
but in addition thereto haa enough to
cover its capital and surplus. When the
dollar is rising in value slowly abauk may
by making shorttime loans and taking
good security avoid losa, but when pricre
are falling rapidly the bank is apt to lose
more because of bad debts than it can
gain by the increase in the purchasin''
power of its capital and sur-plus.
It must lie admitted, however, that some
bankers combine the business of a bond
"broker with the ordinary banking busine^
and these may make enough in the nego
tiation of loans to offset the losses arising
in legitimate banking business. As long
as human nature remains as it is there
will always be danger that unless re
strained by the public opinion or legal en
actment those who see a pecuniarv profit
for themselves in a certain condition may
yield to the temptation to bring about that
desire. Jefferson has stated that one of
the main duties of the government is to
prevent men from injuring one another
arid never was that duty more important
than it is today. It is not strange that
those who have made a profit bv furnish
ing gold to the government in the hour of
,,a «trerniry favor a financial policy
which will keep the government depend
ent upon them. I believe, however, that I
speak the sentiment of the vast majority
of the people of the United States \vh fcn 'I
say that a wise financial policy adminis
tered in fa-half of all the jiedple would
make our government independent of any
combination of financiers of foreign or do
mestic.
Let me suv a word now in regard to cer
tain persons who are pecuniarily benefited
Irv a gold standard and who favor it. not
from a desire to trespass on the rights of
others, but because the circumstances
which s-urround them blind them to the ef
fect of the gold standard upon others t
