The Bankers' Convention.
The gathering in Denver of the rep
resentative bankers of this country, who
opened their convention on Tuesday,
occurs at a peculiarly fitting period.
The bankers just now find themselves
occupying a most conspicuous position
in the affairs of the nation in their
trade and commeVcial bearings.
It has been several years since the
American Association of Bankers has
come together under so prosperous con
ditions. Our recent war with Spain is
practically over, and, if the signs of
the times count for anything, the Unit
ed States is passing through the ex
perience of an awakening of commer
cial power undreamed of twelve
months ago. Money has been flowing
into this country during the past year
at a pace never before witnessed. The
nation is absolutely flooded with gold,
whereas only two years ago the most
remarkable political campaign based
upon the merits of respective kinds or"
money and the rejection or mainte
nance of historic standards of value
was fought to a finish.
There is no doubt that unfortunate
complexities exist in our financial sys
tem, which will command the highest
abilities of the people to overcome, if
the course of financial legislation is to
be pursued along the lines of honesty,
not in a national, but in an interna
tional sense.
Some theories which are still debat
able remain for treatment in the future.
But the existence of a low rate for the
use of money; the confidence with
which capital is being advanced in all
directions for the development of our
industrial and commercial activities;
the trend of a current of capital to
ward this country, especially in the
form of gold, and the uplifting of the
spirit not only of capital, but of the
labor element in the dawn of new and
greatly enlarged markets throughout
the world afford a remarkable combi
nation of national power for peaceful
industry.
After all, It must be apparent to In
telligent and thoughtful citizens that
stability affords the surest foundation
for industrial improvement. A rock of
granite is decidedly more substantial
for the feet to rest upon than a teeter
ing plank, no matter how polished its
surface may be, or how flexible under
the touch of those who walk upon It.
Commerce in the Pacifies.
The Globe prints this morning an
entertaining Interview offered by Pres
ident James J. Hill to Mr. R. L.
O'Brien, of the Boston Transcript,
touching upon methods by which the
United States might properly, through
governmental action, add greatly to
the volume of the Asiatic export trade.
The vastness of the field for markets
of American products there is only fee
bly comprehended by the public. Be
low are some figures recently printed
by the London Statist which may ap
propriately be read in connection with
Mr. Hill's interview above referred to.
The figures represent the value of
trade between all nations and the
countries bordering on the Pacific
ocean:
Pacific states of North, South and
Central America $465,000,000
Insular groups and islands 296,250,000
Australasia 680,000.000
Western Pacific and the far East. 2,145,000,000
Total $3,586,250,000
Add estimates of the coasting traffic:
Pacific America $300,000,000
Pacific islands 50,000,000
Asiatic Pacifio 1,000,000,000
Total $4,936,250,000
Add Australasia 63,750,000
Grand total $5,000,000,000
It is not difficult to reason why this
country should not be possessed of a
goodly share of this cojnmerce, and Mr.
Hill has presented a theory by ■ which
advancement may be made in this di
dection.
Senator Hanna Talks.
Senator M. A. Hanna ls visiting St.
Paul, and The Globe prints a pleas
ant interview with him on the existing
political as well as trade conditions.
Mr. Hanna'3 views in regard to the
fuiture of the Philippines are, as far aa
they go, reasonably closely in line with
those of The Globe aa hitherto ex
pressed — namely, a coaling station, If
neceesary, and nothing more. Porto
Rico is ours; and Mr. Hanna speaks
rather optimistically of the future of
Cuba, which he believes will come to
this country through the process of
evolution rather than as the direct re
sult of conquest. The senator recog
nizes large possibilities in connection
with the growth of our trad* In the
iTP.medls.ite future. We note what he
says as to the prospect of Mr. McKln
ley's renomination in 1900. The sena
tor's optimism In regard to the support
of The Globe that year clouds some
what the value of his enthusiastic ex
pressions on other points; however, all
that he said was interesting.

"Roland," said the governor, as he laid
his umbrella across the corner of the desk
yesterday morning, "I've been wondering
what we had better call that new camp at
Fort Snelllng. What do you think we hod
better call it?"
"Well," replied the private secretary, right
quick, too, "what's the matter •with Dewey?"
"He's all right," replied the governor,
dropping into slang before he knew It. "Yes,
I thought of that," more dlgnifledly, "but
they've got a street out in Merrlam Park
named after him now, and, besides, there is
a little talk about his being a Democrat that
I don't just like."
"Or Sampson," suggested the secretary.
"I don't think we ought to mix up in that,
little difficulty between these two. You re
member what a time we had with that Anoka-
Kastings business."
"Well," replied Roland, toying with his
watch charm, "how would Zuhrah, or Pala
din, or Damascus do? Damascus Is good.
Damascus blade, you know. Right sharp."
"There is something in that." rejoined the
governor. "But it's a good while since those
towns cut much Ice in politics, ain't It?"
"Perhaps It is," Mr. Hartley said, evidently
somewhat discouraged. "Why not call It
Camp Windom, or Camp Davis, or Camp
Washburn, after some of our distinguished
Minnesotar.s?"
"Davis!!! Washburn!!!" stammered the gov
ernor, shuddering, and he looked daggers at
his confidant.
"Well, I don't know who would do, then,"
Roland declared, dejectedly.
"Now the first camp was named after one
of our war governors. Why not name this one
after the other? Inquired th? governor.
"How would Camp Clough sound, William?"
This to Executive Clerk Angell, who had
just drifted in with the morning's mail.
"Well," remarked William, with character
istic deliberation, almcst exasperating to the
Impatient executive, "it would sound all
right, but I suppose the folks out in the
country would keep on sending their mail
addressed to Camp Ramsey, just the same,
any way."
And Angell's practical suggestion ended th«
debate.

It was in a Robert street restaurant.

it's tough."

THE CLUB CORNER.
The Globe desires to complete, so far as
possible, a roster of the clubs of Minnesota, j
It will be indebted, therefore, to ths secre
taries of the organizations throughout the ■
state If they will forward to the editor of !
the department a statement of memberst.ti 1 , |
object of association, methods of procedure |
and such other information aa will form a I
valuable source of reference to the depart
ment as well as to club women. The latest
year book of each organization will be gladly j
received. It is desirable to have all Min
nesota represented in The Globe's club
column, which is devoted to an interchange
of news and views, and to an impartial deal

Mme. Korany, the Syrian woman, who ad
dressed the club women at the second bien
nial of the national federation, died but a
short time ago, at Mt. Lebanon, Syria,
Mme. Korany became very well known In
this country, to which she cirae in order to
attend the World's fair. She attracted the
attention of Mrs. Potter Palmer and other
prominent women, and through her striking
personal appearance and readiness of speech
became uuite a star at the Columbian ex
position. She remained in New York two
years, contributing to the literature of the
day, and is said to have written a book which
waa suppressed by the Syrian government
While here she repeatedly affirmed that she
could not, on pain of death, return to her
own country on account of her advanced and
progressive ideas. But evidently times
changed in Syria, partly owing to the edu
cational benefits of the American mission
schools, for Mine. Korany returned to her
native laud soon after the Philadelphia bien
nial, and not only lived there in safety, but
founded a woman's club in Syria. She was
the founder also of the Cairo Woman's club,
of Cairo, Egypt. Mma Korany waa a Miss
Kishany, of Belroot, Syria, one of flva sisters
who were all educated in American mission
schools there. She was the first Syrian
woman to contribute articles to newspapers,
and her few pictures of her government,
whose condition she deplored, led to her
being pronounced an exile in 1895. She was
however, allowed to return to Syria the fol
lowing year.
Mrs. Mary A. Wheedon, of North Dakota,
Is planning to take the women of her state
"through the Denver biennial" by me.tns of

and surroundings of the prominent club
women of the country, and from scenes In
and around Denver.

Among the delegates to the national educa
tional convention, which met at Washington,
were the two Japanese women, Miss Ume
Tsuda and Mrs. Watanabe, who represented I
the Peerless School of Tokyo, In the inter- I

Tsuda was one of the party of young Japanese
girls sent by the government of Japan to
the United States some fifteen years ago to
be educated after American methods and
to be prepared aa teachers upon the comple
tion of their studies. Miss Tsuda waa but
7 years of age. Mr. Charles Lehman, sec
retary of the Japanese legation, and his wlf«
promptly accepted her as their charge, and !
for the ten years of her stay in America j
looked upon her as their own daughter. One i
of these Interesting young women graduated I

The annual report of the Mt. Vernon La
dies' Association of the Union, which has
just been published, contains an historical
sketch, showing that the association was I
formed in 1554, for the purpose of purchasing j
restoring and keeping in order the old home I
and tomb of George Washington. The la- I
dies purchased the place in 1858, and since
then have accomplished wonders in the way
of restoring the old buildings and grounds
as they were when occupied by the fa'her
of his country. The report includes raports
from the vice regents of the several states.
The New Orleans ladies gave two volumes
for the library, said to have been favorite
books of Washington, and other chapters also
gave valuable contributions.

The fourth biennials influence is now seen

the South and West. One of these, to be

responded to the action of the general feder
ation in placing the presidency there The
motto of this new magazine is "To dissemin

Queen Victoria owns the most varied col
lection of canes of any woman in the world !
One entire room of her private suite is I
stocked with them. Whenever she announces !
her intention of attending a function of any |
kind hor friends consider it fitting to send
her another cane. Every anniversary she ls
forced to acknowledge a score or more of
them. There are solid gold sticks, silver
sticks, exquisitely carved; sticks that are a
marvel of the carver's art, and sticks that
contain priceless jewels. Queen Victoria has
leaned more heavily on her cane of late
years. She always places it against her
chair, and when she rises it is the duty of
the highest court officer present to hand it
to her. Her subjects have hoped in vein to
see her use their gifts. She has used only
one can* however, which has historio value
having been presented to King Charles IL
by one of his court. It is of oak, and when
the king used it the handle was of can-ed
gold. The top has been changed recently
It now bears an idol which once graced the
temples of an ill-fated Indian prince It la

the country. The one was first represented
by Thomas Jefferson, the other Alexander
Hamiiton; the one is represented today by
the DemocratiQ party, the other by the Re
publican party." 1 (Great applause.) Under Re
publican organization in the last thirty years
the most marvelous changes have occurred
in conditions or the American people. For
tunes beyond the dreams of avarice have been
amassed in the hands of the few, and it
has been derived from the millions of the
people who have followed out the Scriptural
instructions to "earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow." The rich have grown
rich?r and the Door have grown poorer.
(Great applause.)
In the cartoon In the paper this afternoon
which the gentleman haa spoken of, I am
charged with having said that thore wa.3
too much prosperity here for me to dispose of
my goods in thla marke:. Before I get
through with this I will ask you wheUier the
conditions of prosperity are such as to pie
vent any man undertaking to dispose of such
a cargo here. (Great applause.)
The one condition which has repeatedly
conlronttd the result of labor for the last
twenty-five years has been that one spectre
of fallen prices. When a man has sown his
crop it is not worth as mu;:h when he has
reaped it as he expected it would be when
he sowed it. When he has begun a work
of any sort he does not know that it will be
worth as much when he has flashed it is
he expected it would be. In the history of
the world everywhere it has been recognized
by political economists, those who have
written in favor of the few and as against
the masses, and vlca versa, have reached the
same conclusion; that the rich have gown
richer at the expense of the masses. This
distinction Is clearly understood by political
economists everywhere. What causes fallen
prices? When there is a marvellous p! -o
duct.on of any particular thing the price
for ihat go?s diown. When there is a short
supply the price goes up. Supply and de
mand regulate value. Wheat may be pro- ■
duced enormously beyond the demand of the !
market, it will become cheap; the samo thing !
wltn cotton, and everything else. But one
thing will account for a general decline in
pr <*s everywhere, and (hat tlrng is the !
volume of money. (Great applausa.) When '
money Is abundant, money is cheap, prices I
are high, products will buy more money when
it is abundant than wihen not, and the reverse
!fin c ° lldi , t , ion - Now we have had a con
dition of falling prices from 1873 until the
present time. Political economists have de
vised a. half-dozen different explanations, but
with the same result. They have agreed that
\e-f c In been a F eat dei;li ne in prices from
1873 unt.l now. We propose to change that
our idea of changing it was to increase the
volume of money, to restore to silver Its
right of coinage, which during the whole
history of civilization has been money until
the act of 1573. (Great applause.) '
Let me illustrate this matter of facing
prices just a moment. In a leading English
P ? P ?L saw a statement made in the end
of 1594, that there had been a fall of about
10 per cent in general prices In the twelve
months preceding it. A fall of 10 per cent
in prices In as many months. Take as an
Illustration two men with $10,00) each One
of them proposes to do the part of a good
citizen invest: his money and engage in busi
ness. He looks around and invests his money
in property. The other, emulating that man
who is characterized In the Book as b<Mng a
wicked and slothful servant, refuses to in
vest his money in business, but wraps it in
a napkin and buries it in the ground. At
the end of the twelve months the man who
has invested h:s money in property has had
a decline of 10 par cent In value. His prop
erty has shrunken 10 per cent in value by
tne operation of economic laws which have
been put in force. The other man, who has
been characterized as being a wicked and
slothful servant, digs his $10,000 up, and it
will buy $1,000 more than it would have
bought when he buried it. He has made 10
per cent interest for being a wicked and
slothful servant. (Great applause.) We do
not believe that is a correct thing to do Sup
pose that man, instead of burying his money
had .oaned it to somebody else at G per cent
interest. Let me illustrate. When you seU
a horse, you part with the property. When
you hire a horse, you do not part with the
property; if there Is an Increase In its value
while it Is hired to some other man you get
tho benefit of the raise. It Is the same with
money. The man who buys property with
his money parts with it. It Is gone. But a
man who loans his money holds his money
to use a vulgar phrase, he has a "string"
to it yet. It is to come back at the end of
the term augmented by interest.
Now if the money had been loaned instead
of buried at 6 per cent at the end of the term
—he would have been sure to have taken
ample collateral security. He would not only
have taken a mortgage on tha property
bought by the $10,000, but would also have
taken a mortgage on his house and lot. He
would have had the increase in the value of
the money that came by its raising in value—
tho 10 per cent— hut also the 6 per cent inter
est; that is, he would have gotten 16 per cent.
That is the reason why in a time of falling
prices everybody is seeking an opportunity to
put their money In bond. They don't want to
let the money pass from them or their con
trol. It is better to put it into bond than to
bury it. But if they can't invest it in bond
they bury it in their safes rather than bnv
property. This accounts for the issue of more
and more bonds. This accounts for one of the
political parties in this country taking every
opportunity to issue more bonds.
Now, If I give my note for $ICO, and you
write in $26, making the obligation $125, that
is forgery, and tho Taw will send you to pris
on for it. But when a corrupt political party
makes such changes in the laws as will
change my obligation and increase so I Day
$125 where I owed you $100, then you are a
financier, an honest man and a man who pro
tests against that is called an anarchist and
silver lunatic. (Great applause.)
When the war closed between the sections
of the country the government owed about
two billion eight hundred million dollars.
We have paid the interest on that debt from
then until now. We have paid as interest
two billion six hundred million dollars. We
have paid as principal on that debt, unlll
we have reduced it nominally to less i- v .an
half what it was when the war close i, and
yet, measured in any of the great commodi
ties of this country, It will take as much
wheat or cotton to pay it now aa it wculd
have taken to pay the whole of it iVhen
the war closed. (Applause.) The bondholders
have not taken their bonds and written on
the face of the bonds an obligation to pay
twice the money that would have paid it
then, but they have manipulated the legis
lature until they have brought about tha
same results. And they considered them
selves the embodiment of all the holiness
there is In the country as the result of their
rascality. (Great applause.)
In 1896 a convention met in Chicago which
I believe will be known to the future as one
of the grandest bodies of men that ever as
sembled on this continent. (Great applause.)
Those men selected as a leader the man to '
whose name the toasimaster has asked me to
respond, to lead them in the campaign of
1898. We set about changing these herd
conditions. We began to stop that never
ending, grinding extortion, which cornea from
never-ceasing tailing in prices. We propose
to change by increasing the volume of
money.
The Republican party aid not dare to chal
lenge the proposition we made. In their
platform made In St. Louis they declared
they were going to bring about bimetallism
by International agreement. They were not
willing to have the American people do it
atone. The 70.000.000 Independent spirits In
this country, 'transacting aa much business
as all the rest of t.h« world together, didn't
have enough brain or brawn to plan this re
sult. They proposed to accomplish it some
time, perhaps, by international agreement.
During that campaign, that silver-tongued
orator from Ohio, that man whom you have
all listened to, who was In his soul a bimetal
list—Ben Butterworth— while he was engaged
In making Republican speeches in this sec
tion I chanced to have a conversation with
him. I said: "Buttprworth, you are a bl
metallist; why are you around making cam
paign speeches? I want to know how in the
name of all that Is good you can hope to
champion bimetallism in this way." He
said: "It is true I am a bimetallism but I
believe by the election of the Republican
parity the cau&e of bimetallism can be better
advanced than in any other way." He spoke
with energy. He spoke as If he meant It—
but he has gone to his final account. But
how has the Republican party kept faith
with Ben Butterworth in carrying out bi
metallism? What have they done? Have they
redeemed the promises tboy made to you?
When you ask a Republican what is tb*
cause of falling prices he looks as wise as
an owl and sticks his thumb into his arm
pits and begina to tajk about something else.
You can't get iblm -down to the discussion of
falling pnices.J It ■is the very root of this
whole trouble.^ They'told us in 1890 that they
were going to -make the country prosperous;
that Mr. McKMiley ywas the advance agent of
prosperity. jDpn't -you remember it? (Great
applause.) Tfey *M<l that the mention of
McKinley woiml restore confidence; that that
confidence would bring prosperity, but the
prosperity did not come In any great quanti
ties all at once. Then they said it was neces
sary to elect frim for tho free silver cranks
and lunatics liid produced such results that
all we would Siavo^ to do would be to elect
McKinley. Whether or not, he was elwted,
he became president. Ho was counted In.
The result was ann Winced and the scheduled
prosperity wapj locked for by many a man
and gull around the country.
I heard a conversation on a railroad train
between two men. One said to th 9 other,
"But prosperity hasn't come as you said
It would." "Talk it. talk It, say It has
come." said the other, and still it didn't
come. But when it failed they said, you
must wait until the Inauguration. He was
inaugurated and still the scheduled prosperity
was delayed. It didn't arrive on the 6th
of March, or the 6th or 7th. Then they said
wait until we have had time to put our
plans in operation. A special session of
congress was called, the Dlnglsy bill was
passed, after two months of discussion. The
highest tax bill that haa ever been passed
in the United States. Higher than the M&-
Klnley bill.
The 30th day of June last ended the first,
twelve months In which the Dingley bill had
besn a law. The revenues of the government
had fallen more than forty million dollars
short of the expenditures, in spite of the fact
that there were collected into the treasury
more than eighteen million dollars from the
Union Pacific railroad, thirty-one and three
fourths in December, more than eight and a
half millions in January, three million six
hundred and fifty-one thousand from the
, Kansas Pacific in March, ana two million cix
hundred and fifty-one thousand In ADrll. A
total of about sixty millions of dollars col
lected from the railroads, and yet the Dud
ley bill was more than forty million dollars
behind the expenses of -the government. Is
that the proeperity that the men who made
the cartoon thought I was afraid of? (Great
applause.)
Now, ugain, certainly they ca.r-.not say that
Republican politicians and the Dingley bill
had brought prosperity to tha treasury. Have
they brought it to the people? Short crops
for a time brought universal stimulus to the
price of wheat, and they Immediately attrib
uted increase in the price of wheat to the Re
publican party. By the grace of God a great
crop has been guaranteed for this year, and
now we are to!d that the Republican i>arty
is responsible for this, and that prosperity ia
finding its way among the people, but it
hasn't found it. Falling prices continue. This
Is felt in every home and every section of the
country.
Where, then la the prosperity? Who re
ceived tho benefit of the great prosperity
caused by passing the Dingley bill? The
stock of the sugar trust went up from SO to
140 while the Dingley bill was passing; it
is the same with a!l the other organizations
of capital. They gat the benefit, while the
people bear the burden. Is that the kind of
prosperity that the people of this country
want? Is 'that tho kind of prosperity for
which the Republican party was entrusted
with power in 189G? I don't believe the poo
pie of the country are satisfied or will be
satisfied with it,
I received a letter today from a man who
discussed the conditions existing and one ex
pression struck me with great force. "I am
confronted by the reflection that the world
wants to do right." I believe in. this. I be
lieve that tho great body of the people of
the world want to do right, and by the help
of God will do right. I believe that this
! condition of affairs, brought about by legis
lation, will not be permitted to continue al
ways.
Men were asked in 1896 to vote against
their consciences. Men have vo.ed aga'ast
their conscience.? and afterwards have aiked
themselves if they did right. I bellevo that
the power at least lies In tho hand of the
people. They may be cajoled in one eitc
tion into voting against what ts right, but
when the party fails, as the Republican p irty
has failed, to discharge the obligations winch
they have incurred to the people, these iama
people, composing the greater number of
intelligent common people, will cast their
verdict again. I ha\e no doubt that when It
cornea before them the next time they w'll
cast It on the other side. (Great applause)
Senator Jones then discussed at length the
campaign of ISS6, and, continuing, hs s<id:
I have showed you that the Dingley Mil
run one hundred million dollars behind the
revenues, but they collected sixty millions
from the railroads, and that came wi hin
forty millions of defraying the cxp j nse3.
What is going to happen next year? Where
are ycu going to get the balance of the
money? This last session of congress pas-ed
a bill which provided for the 1.-sue of fcur
hundred million dollars of bonds at the dis
cretion of the secretary of the treasury to
pay wax expenses only. Then they levied
taxes on tobacco and beer and almost Eveiy
thing conceivable is to be stamped to
two hundred million dollars. Now Repub
lican prosperity saddles a tux by the wjy of
stamp^s to help the Dingley bill out, and
this they tell us is prosperity. Simply that
the price of sugar stock has gone up, railroad
stocks have gone up, while the pri^<=s of
every commodity have br=en going down all
the time. That bill as passed Is a law, and
stays a law until it is repealed. How long
will it be a law?
But there'was a condition that they might
issue $100. 000. (X!0 of certificates, payable in
a year. I wish I had the law. I would like
to rend portions of it. Now we have 274,000
men In the army. The average expense of
keeping a man in the late war was about
$1,000 a year. That would take $274,000,000
for twelve months. The law providss that
none of this money was to be used except
to pay the expenses of the war. The Ink waj
scarcely dry on the bill when $200,000,000
worth of the bonds had been sod, and at a
time when there was no proof that the war
might rot close before they got the bonds.
Gentlemen, I expect to hear good reports
from Minnesota this year. I expect to hear
that Lind has carried Minnesota. (Great ap.
plause.) Everybody will understand what
that will mean in 1900.
William Jennings Bryan will be nominated
on the same platform on which he rnn be
fore, reasserting the principles of Democracy,
and the verdict will be rendered In his favor,
and this question will be settled — for the good
of everybody, for the good of the common
people, bondholders, money lenders and all
classes, and we will then have pros;>erity,
and not prosperity such as the Republican
party have given us within the last two
years. (Cheers.)
In Introducing C A. Towne, Mr.
O'Brien evoked a great burst of ap
plause. Mr. Towne spoke* to the toast
"John Lind."
MR. TOWNE'S ADDRESS.
The Candidate for Congress Closes
the Feast.
Mr. Towne told In opening an anec
dote of Daniel Webster to Illustrate
the feeling that was stirred up by the
rr-ention of the name of John Lind. "I
do not need to commend that name to
ycu," said Mr. Towne. "You know
him as a citizen, as a legislator and in
public life, ajid you will know him yet
as an administrator." He spoke of the
peculiar gifts that had made Mr. Lind
eminent, and said that the traits which
made Abraham Lincoln a great man
had had the effect of making people
call John Lind an honest man. He
told of the advocacy of the financial
theories of the Democratic platform
of 1896 by Mr. L'nd since 1896. He
said that the conditions are such this
year Mr. Lind will be elected gov
ernor. It makes no difference who his
opponent may be. Mr. Lind believes
that the Republican party, when It
spoke in state convention in 1894 In
advocacy of bimetallism, was right —
not because it was Republican doc
trine, but because it was right The
speaker referred to the time when, af
ter the declaration at St Louie, him
self and John Lind had walked out of
the Republican party never to return
to it. The statement called forth a
burst of applause that stopped the
speaker for several minutes. He said
that the failure of the Republican par
ty in 1896 to declare against trusts and
monopolies Was another evidence of
the total corruption of the party he
had been forced to leave. He charged
the Republican party with the expen
diture of $16,000,000 in carrying the
country.
Mr. Towne declared that John Lind
and his friends believed in the rlghta
of the wealthy and the preservation of
those would be provided but for the
corrupting influences of wealth they
would have no respect amd would per
mit no legislation.
"The election of John Lind this year
would be heralded over the counitry as
the triumph of the principles which
stand In the platform of 1896," snld Mr.
Towne. "John Lind la known as
standing for the money of the consti
tution, and his election will be accept
ed as the acceptance by the people of
those principles which we hold dear."
The speaker went into a free dis
cussion of the merits of the financial
Issue. He went through the history
of the attempts to' establish the gold
standard in foreign countries.
He declared that the only way to kill
the silver issue was to kill the human
race.
Referring to the Spanish war, Mr.
Towne declared that wfaen the guns of
Dewey awoke the echoes of Manila the
nations of Europe got a new tip on
the greatness of the democracy, and
that the countries across the xVtlantic
would listen to the declarations of this
country as to its finances with more
respect.
He made a remark on the presence
of M. A. Hanna in St. Paul and wish
ed that Mr. Hanna could but be In
some telephonic connection with this
gathering and that the speeches that
had been made might soften him.
Going back to Mr. Lind, the speaker
said:
"John Lind i« an American. He was born
abroad. Well, we all were a few years ago.
He comes of a great race, that has done
much for human Mberty in Europe, and that
same race has had much to do with the
development o* this state. He will lead you
to a victory this fall.
"England never formed a foreign alliance
for the benefit of the foreign ally. We
cannot help bat condemn her seven centuries
of oppression of Ireland, her forcing of
opium on the Chinese, aye, farther back, her
tyrannizing over our own colonies, when she
took our own hide for a alx-pence and sold
it back to us for a shilling. Thanks, Mother
England, we recognize our relations but we
have set us house for ourselves and will
manage our own domestic economy. We want
our foreign-born, whether from Ireland,
Sweden, Poland or where, to know that there
is a different policy in England's history. We
will not entrust our diplomacy to the land
grabbers of the world. I am glad to see
that John Lind shares such ideas as these.
"I want to say, too, that when John Llnd
is elected governor he will appoint a rail
road and warehouse commission that will
regulate rates without coercion by the courts.
The people of 'this state will show their
opinion of the Steenerson decision by return
ing to the supreme bench the men who ren
dered it
"They can't work the- 'scare' idea O'^ain.
It's like the too-too In the *jlorado poker
game. It can't be played buc once a night.
Just before, or within eight days after iha
Republican administration went into power
in 1896 half tho state banks in the Twin
Cities failed. When John Lind 13 governor
we will have a careful, honest and thorough
bank inspection that will protect the depos
itors."
Mr. Towne referred to Congressman Gros
venor's declaration that the war would be
fought, but on a Republican basis.
"These conventions," continued Mr. Towns,
"that have hurrahed for MeKinley and ad
journed, met In a vain cause. The war is
over. The confidence of Republican victory
this fall Is based on the hope that they will
be able to pull their tickets through on ths
enthusiasm of the war. Why, the Demie-atj
had to hold the ears of this Republican dog
right into the faco of Spain. If it had
not been for the blowing up of the Main-,
when they were afraid to face the unanimou3
sentiment of tho American people, there
would cot have been any war.
The gentleman who tonight sips his cham
pagne at the Aberdeen, and Stephen B. Elk-
Ins, who fashion the secret councils of the
kitchen cabinet, did not want war. It would
endanger the securities based on Cuban rev
enues.
"Any administration could have conducted
this war as well as this one has. Why shall
we not claim that this war waa fought and
won by Democratic valor? Dewey is a Demo
crat. Schley is a Democrat. Hobson is a
Democrat. (Applause.)( A voice — A Populist.)
"Well." continued Congressman Towne, "In
Alabama a Democrat and a Populist are Just
alike.
Mr. Towne closed with an eloquent
tribute to John Lin<l, "wno, although
physically prevented from entering
tlhe war as a militant soldieT, he had
gone to serve his country as he might.
"When Johnny came marching
home" In the latter days of the cam
paign he would lead the Democratic
party hosts to a victory not only for
its state ticket, but some of its con
gressional nominees that would be
epochal in the political history erf Min
nesota.
The banquet broke up at 1:30.
