SHE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: MONDAY. AUGUST 21. 1805
BRYAN MADE
A GREAT EFFORT
Eloquent Speech in Support of a
Double Standard for the Na
tional Currency.
HENDERSON WANTS A VOTE
Lodge'* Resolution Wat tho Only Thing
Talked About In lh» Senate, ana
There the Sexslon Wm Only
Three Hours hong.
Wnschington, Aug. 16.—The senate
ipont only three hours in session to
day, but that time'wns well Ailed up.
Mr. Vest's bill appropriating $300,000 for
■ site and building in Washington to
be known as the "hall of records"
was passed. Then the bill to increase
Ihf. circulation of national banks was
taken up and postponed until tomor
row for the reason that several sen
ators had informed Mr. Voorhees that
they desired more time to spare to dis
cus it. But before It was so laid
aside an important amendment was
proposed to It by Senator Cockrell to
authorize the redemption, at par, and
accrued interest, of such 2 per cent,
bonds (over 125,000,000 in ail) ns may
be offered, and to authorize the issue
ef new treasury legal tender notes in
payment therefor.
The amendment produced consider
able discussion. Senator Sherman con
demned it as an unbusinesslike propo
sition and Senator Cockrell expressed
his amazement and mortiAcation that
the friend and patron of the national
banks, the great gold monomctalist
from Ohio, should object to an amend
ment that would increase the amount
of currency in circulation.
Another amendment to the bill was
offered later on by Senator Allen of
Nebraska for the cessation of interest
on the bonds under whlqh the increased
national bank circulation should
tased.
The Double Standard.
Senator Berry of Arkansas addressed
the senate In favor of the double stand-
irl of gold and silver. It was gen-
erally agreed, he said, that, the Sher
man act was thoroughly bad. It was a
U* which never should have been
fused, and he was particularly gratified
•tot not a single Democratic vote had
been cast for it either in the seuate
or Vue house of representnitvs. in all
•Ti“ 1 l our * or the country the free sil
ver Republicans had parted company
with their friends on the Democratic
ndr of tho chamber and consented to
the passage of the Sherman act and
the repeal of t -e Bland act. Tho repeat
of the Sherman act. without other lcs-
Matlon, would, in his opinion, place
the country upon a gold basis, would
prevent the future coinage of any sil
ver and forever practically destroy sn
ver money. He (Berry) believed In the
double standard of money. Cleveland
had often declared In favor of hi metnl-
Jum, and he (Berry) was confident that
notwithstanding the president's failure
to discuss bi-metallism in his message
he would approve any bill that repealed
•he Sherman art and provided for the
circulation of both gold and silver on

aieunlng uftli* Jjrifag*.
If he could understand the language
of the mosF&ge, it meant but one thing.
It meant the burial of silver, with no
promise of resurrection. It was the
argument of the gold standard. It led
•o universal gold monometallism and
to the realm of where over the door
was written: "Abandon hope all yc
who enter here.” There was but one
| way of bringing gold from abroad, ex
cept the Issuing ,f gold bonds, and
that was to sell our products and se
cure the yellow metal. But tf we es
tablished a single gold standard, gold
would be put upon the auction block
Every time gold was abroad tho farm
ers of the United States must tower
the prices of their products, then thr
farmers of England would lower their
order -to get the gold back. Thun we
must once again lower ours, and nc
one could -tell the price at which at
last our products would settle down.
He was opposed to a single standard
of value, be It gold or sliver, and war
in favor of a double standard. Thr
question now presented was whether
the United States was going to say it
was the English nation or an Independ
ent one. (Applause.) If there be some
persons living on the eastern Shore whe
w-erc better acquainted with the beauty
of the Alps than with the grandeur
of the Rockies, better acquainted with
he sunny skies of Italy than with thr
nvlgoratlng breezes of the Mississippi
let them know that there are a people
who are willing to.cast their all on
... 'am o' this republic and rise or
fall with it (.Applause.) Mr. Bryan
spoke in favor of the retention of the
ratio of 16 to 1, arguing that an In
crease of that ratio would be detrl
mental to an international agreement
as to the coinage of the two metals
He wanted to restore confidence among
the people, but he did not believe in
curing a headache by putting a mus
tnrd plaster to the feet of the patient
(Applaue.) Lot some bill be passed
here which would make the banks safe
places of deposit. So long as people
would chain the country to a single
g *ld standard therp would be war and
eternal war. (Applause.) If the Demo
cratic platform means anything, it
meant that the Sherman law was r
makeshift, but It proposed something
better than that, and that something
was a silver and gold coinage. The
question was not whether the president
w-as honest or not. The question wae
whether he was right. Thc president
had won the confidence of the people*
but he had been deceived. He said In
his message that the people demanded
the repeal of the Sherman law. He
had heard from the boards of trad*
an., from ate chambers of commerce,
but he had not heard from the farmers
* r Jhe men ln the workshops, and he
could no more Judge of the opinion of
the people than he could measure the
ocetn'k depth by the foam on th.-
lifi'lk Lct ,ha 'rlend* of silver

A Magnificent r„nr!ntlnn.
In conclusion, Mr. Bryan said: "The
Democratic party stands today between
two continuing forces. On thc one
side stand the corporate Interests, the
moneyed Interests, aggregated wealth
and capital. Imperious, arrogant, com-
passionless. They are able to sub
scribe magnificently to campaign
funds. They are able to crush with
their all-pervading InAuenco any who
may dare oppose, and to those who
fawn and natter they can bring ease
and plenty. These demand that the
Democratic party shall become the
agent to execute their merciless de-
cres. On the other hard, a numerous
throng, those who gave to tho Demo,
cratlc party s name and for whom It
has assumed to speak; work-worn and
dust-bagrtmed. they make their mut»
appeal and too often fondle their cry
for help, beat In vain against the outer
walls, while those less deserving gain
ready access to tho legislative hails.
This army, vast and dally vaster grow
ing. pleads with th* Democratic party
to be Its champion tn this terrible Con
nie!. It cannot press its claims amid
amid sounds of revelry; it can
not march Its phalanxes In grand pa
rade. No gaudy banner fioa's In thr
breeze. It's battle hymn Is "Home,
Sweet Heme;" Its war cry, "Equality
before the Law!" Between chest
force*, hesitating. In doubt which aide
tn turn, yet conscious that upon Its
decision must rent Its fate, stands the
Democratic party, and to It standing
thus comes the words of Israel’s sec
ond law: “Choose y* this day whom ye
will serve." Aye. my Wend*, let mr
invoke the memory of him whose duty
made sacred the soli of Montleelli,
when his spirit went to Join the dead,
but sceptered sovereigns who still rub
our spirit from their earth. Thomas
Jefferson was called a demagogue. His
followers were called a mob; but he
dared to follow the best promptings
of his heart; he dared to place man
above matter, humanity above poverty.
He dared to spurn the orlbes of wealth
and wealth and power, and to plead
Lh* cause of the common people, ar.d
because of his devotion lo their inter
ests the Democratic party was invln
ctble white he lived, and because »f
that devotion his memory -wHI be re-
vers I wfblla history cndtireh. What
mchsage comes from thc IIcrmlMge?
if there was another crisis in the af
faire of <hi* government much like this,
the national banks of that day sought
to control She politics of the gii.an
and Andrew Jackson, who had the is'C-
age to grapple with the nation’s eremy,
by overthrowing it had made himself
the Idol of ths American people and
brought back to public confidence, ths
Democratic party. We stand today,
Just after the .greatest success in the
history of the Democratic party, and,
standing upon this victory-crowned
sumit. wilt the party, turn Its face to
the rising or the setting sun. Will It
choose blessings or cursings, life or
death, which, whichf

Des Moines, la., Aug. 10.—Thc Re

day, ex-United States Senator Harlan,

eleven on the resolutions committee are

superintendent of public, lmtrueticn.’.
The utterances of the platform regard
ing finances Rre a* follows:
'[When President Cleveland said in
his recent message to congress that our
unfortunate financial plight, ‘with the
evil conditions’ ho depicted' are princi
pally chargeable to congressional leg
islation touching the purchase and the
coinage of silver by the .general gov

ducing cause. This is the sinister of
foots of the threatened Democratic at
tempt to Overthrow protection, and a
protective tariff ns embraced in the
McKinley measure. For the relief of
the people, to got stablHty of business,
the laws should provide that, the pay

Sam* Crop Talk.
Crop reports ore most excellent, and
it la generally conceded that the present
crop cost less to raise It than any that
ha* been raised for many years. A* a
rule the farmers are less in debt than
usual, and while they have little or no
money, they have plenty of corn and
sorghum and say they can get along
without cash if necessary A Urge num
ber of the counties report that th*y
have bought no corn at all this year,
which U very unusual. The delegates
are strongly opposed to Preaidrnt Cleve
land's message and are for free eilver
almost to a man.

which wo are convinced is the worst
possible ilnanclal policy.'*
William C. Ward of Lincoln county
•aid: “Lincoln county has not bought
a bushel of corn this year and thc
farmer* are in good condition. Crop*
are in good condition and it Hs thr
cheapest crop ever raised. Meat was
higher, but we used very little meat
«n that account, making xorghum
largely take the place of meat. Eng
land is bound to buy our cotton .ana
our wheat. They have to have them
and if we hold on to our crops, the
farmers can control the prices to a
greater extent than have ever done
yet. We wan-t silver and gold on a
parity, and while I don’t expect reliei
from the present congress, I hope th*t
It will not be settled at all until ii
is settled right.”
D. W. Price of Douglass county re
ported crops a* in good condition a.nu
the farmers less In debt than u«ua1
His county, he *ays, is strictly in favo#
of free silver.

Secretary Ivey said: "The Alliance
Is in much better condition than it
waa a year ago. notwithstanding thn
decrease in numbers. It i* now grow

a great deal of effective work. We are
not expecting relief from the preaent
session of congress. W’e are all Demt»«

silver and gold being placed on a par
Ity. The gold tonga have used money
freely with the newspapera and most
of -then* no longer voice the real sent!
