They were making no mistakes. The notional convention bad nominated rnon who were platforms in themselves. The congressional conven tion liud selected as its candidateo n diMiiiiruished jurist and cltizon who v ou.d bo as eminent in congress as ho 1m (1 ooe-j on tbo district bench and th coun'y ' co .vontlon bad shown like wisdom in Its i idee of candidates. Mr. Martin then Intro , ud Governor Boyd , who was again n train I.HOU un enthusiastic rccoptlon , by the uuillcnio. Thn cnvcrnor professed to see In the vast nssoinblaeo before htm conclusive nvidoncn doinol racy of Nebraska was ulivo to thu flltuut'un and interest In the importancn of the cliiU vblch confronted thorn. It bhownd tniit the democrats wuru determined to at tain biRTOss by deserving It. On the 21st duy nf .luno , in the City by the Lulio , the domocrntio national convuniioii had by a morn than two-thirds vote tcleoleu for Its standard boarnr that Htalusnmn and honest nnd incorruptible man , ( . rover Ctotroland. After the applause which lollmvrd the mention of the nil mo had subaldid the speaker wont on to say that it wns an unusual honor to confer In nominating a man three successive tlaies for the presidency. Urovor Clcvoiand had nttaiueU the presidency while comparatively young and had discharged tbo duties of tba't high cfllco with romarkabln courage and an honesty of purpose unexcelled. So splendidly did his record shine that the democracy of ihe nation had almost unanimously turned to him as iho man Dost flttcd to restore the blm- jilo , bojjst government that the people most ' I'liHln fault \rlth the Itcjiubliciuu. The governor declared sbat the republicans who hud shaped the legislation of this country during the past ten years hud done no in the Intoiosis of trusts and monopolies , nnd It was now tlmo that some legislation bhould bo cuautod in the interests at thu common people. Now York was us safe for Grover Cleveland , backed by u united und harmonious party , today as whoa Samuel J. iilden led the party lo victory In 1870. Indluuu would return - turn il ulectoral vote for Cleveland and StiiVcnKou , and tha republicans now bad lo contend for Illinois , Wisconsin , Minnesota , Kansas , Colorado , Nevada , Wyoming , South Dakota and Nebraska. The pin-mount issues of iho campaign were the tariff and the force bill , Tbo democratic liorty bullovcnl In n tariff for rovouuo only , whllo tha republican party bolloved In iho McKlnley ulll , which eilVlcbed the luw and robbed the many uifu that without benefiting labor. The domocraiiu party was In favor of state control of elections , while the republican party advo cated ludoral control by an army of super visors a' , nn enormous expense. The nominees on the state , congressional nnd county tickets were all capa ble , deserving men , who , if clouted , would fill tbo position * for which they had boon chosen with credit to themselves and honor to the party. Tha republican party in Nubrahlift had lost Its prestige aud Its power. It bad lust ibu conlldonco of tbo masses , nnd from n dominant and Imperious party poling ) 103,000 votes In 18SS It had dogenor- tea Into a servile minority , polling less than 75,000 votes. The electoral vote of Nebraska was lost to iho republicans , and the speaker concluded with the statement that in No voiubor next the present cxtraragant admin istration would give way lo Cleveland and BtOVOIlHOU. After the applause which followed Gov ernor Uoyd's address bad subsided tbo chair man Introduced Hon. J. Sterling Morton and the unterrllled cheered once moro In bonoi of their nominee. The speaker uoulu hurdlj bo houtd ton foot from the slayo at first , bui BOOH succeeded in uuugiog his voii-o to tbi ucoustlcs of the oqlldlng. Mr. .Morton1 * Uiuu'ch. After a glowing introduollon , replete will beautiful metaphor , the speaker touk un thi political part of bU add rust , There are two kinds of taxation which 1 hull brlotiy touch upon this evening. First a tariff for revenue , which lakes money frou II of us and pays K where It belongs , in tbi treasury of thn rapuhlc. for tha purpose o inoeti'ig ' tbo publlu debt , providing fur thi common doloiino nnd proniotlnc tbo genera Welfare. I tariff tnx Justly laid und houosth collected for mvenuo 1 do not antagonize , f tariff for revenun properly ImiMMod nfforils m protoctlou because U is put upon article : which wo do not produce in this countrr , but n nroioctlto tariff thoroughly protected prohibit * rovcniiB. It Is laid for tno purpoio of making the nrllclo upon which the duties nro placed scarcer In the American market. It tnitos money from all tnc consumoM of the nrtiolos made dutiable nnd puts it In the pockew of the nrotcutoos , that Is , of the men who manufacture the nrtlclos. It shuts out competition from nbroad , It guar antees the American market to the Amer ican mtuiiifiicturor. It compels the American farmer to buy In thU protected market all the tin , woolen. Iron and glas uoods , to- gothnr with his luinuer and hard ware for his homo at nn arti ficial price. At the sntnn time , ho American farmer sells In the free trade markets of the world , where the competition Is ftroug from nil tbo tilled llclus of the > vholo earth. This tarilT Tor protection wo antagonize with all the zeal and force that slncoro conviction of IU wrong , combined with true courage , can Inspire. The govorn- rrfiMitof the United States has no constitu tional or other right to Impose taxes upon the people , oxcoot with the Intent and result of trotting money Into the public treasury with which to pay the public debt1 , to pro- provide for the common defense and to pro- inoto the general welfare ; and nil other taxes called protective , laid with far differ ent Intent mid result than cottlnu money Into the public treasury , ought to bo utterly abolished. A Alitthcmittlna ! AlMurdlty. The ndvocatoof the protective turlff as- eorts ft mathematical absurdity. Ho de clares that n pnrt Is greater than the whole. The part of our citizens , say 15,001) , ) all told , who nro ongagoil in thn manufacture of glass ore greater than the \ % hole ( Vi.OOO.OOU who use uud break gloss every dav. The pro- toctlvo tariff on glass is mada for thn small part and against the whole. The few who make lumber have thu tarltt duty of $1 nor thousand , board measure , laid In their Da- half nnd against the millions of homebuilders builders who desire Inmbor , The iron mus ter nnd all his employes nro a small part of tbo U > ,000OUO of peoulo , but the law Is made for that small purl nnd ng.ulusl all who use Iron. Every man in this audloituo U practically every day , whotlmr h i boa republican , n democrat , or a third party man , n frcu trail or. Ho buys whore ho can liny .cheapo t. Ho soils where ho can sell highest. Trade between him aud his merchant contmuot just so long as their exchanges prove to bo , as all legitimate exchange * are , mutually advantageous. Bad tr.ulo stops itself , whothnr Jjoiwoon individuals or between nations. Before the cnactmontot the Mor- rlll tarlfl thu United States had n great growing trade with Europe. The American llag carried 70 pur cent of the commerce of ho Atlantic. Our sulls 'HucUod every sea. I'll tit trade between iho United Stutus nnd Suropo must have boon mutually ndvnntn- roous or It would not nvo grown. The nro- ectlvo tarltT was e.naclod to throttle , to kill , ostop , to unulbilalo that , which wns much dvantngeotis to Europa and to Atnorlra. The advocates of the protective tariff dc- laro ( hat it Is luld to protect American abor.

Then as tbo pcoplo never asked for .his system of protection , and the .system is n force , how uamo it thu lawVho } put heso tariffs which make artificial prices on .ho commodities they protect upon tha itatuto books , if iho people did not demand rhemi The manufacturers themselves so ured tbo Morrlll nnd the MeKlnlov UrilT. iVhnt for ! To make ihlngs scarcer mid .herefore tiighcr. n Iu mbor. But 1 shall not dwell nt length upon this question this ovaniug. I call to mind now jnly the Infant industry of lumber making. 'rVben the pilgrims tolled the first tree on tbo ugced coast of Now England to make there- rom a human homo Iho infant industry of umber manufacturing U gnn. That xvas nearly 300 years ago , nnd yet under tna Me- ICinloy bill this antiquated infant is protected by $1 par 1,000 feet board measure tax. Under the Merrill law lumber was taxed ? li per 1,000 foot board measure. The telegraph wires were itiYlllod wllh the fact that both ot the distinguished senators from Nebraska were endeavoring with nil their might and main to put lumber on the free list when the august body of which they are members bad Ihe McKlnloy bill under consideration. A republican legislature some years before had memorialized from Nebraska that lumber bo put upon the free list. In thai memorial ihn republican legislature of No brack a de clared thai the Merrill tariff tax upon lumber compelled the home builders of this commonwealth to pay each year 800,000 artificial price to the lumber lords of Michigan , Wisconsin und Minnesota for the rjeru hoards outof which to build homes. ' 1 ha dtmand of our legislature was not granted. Thn ntronuous efforts of Senators 'aiJtfosU and Maudersou failed lo put lura- i r on t'.ie irao list. If iho foreigner pays the Lux , v ; ) > v did they desire io pul it on the free list ? Tbt demand , sent up with unani mity , > t lha anMre population of Nebraska , vyn ctvi'.n & denial. The lax was reduced to onjyl , bowavur. * , ? on another petition lo put their itc'inl onjho fruo list was sonl to congress fiom f.'cht ka. It was sent by thosuear trust through the O.xnard Bros. It de manded that tbo machinery for Ihe manu facture of boot sugar bo admitted into iho United Stales duty frco in a slate of absolute taxlessncss. This demand came from a plutocracy , no * , from n democracy. The de mand of a plutocracy was regarded as a com mand. Beut sugar machinery Is put upon the free list , and If U were a good thing lor thu Oxnnrds io have iho machinery come In duly free , whllo not a good thing for ibo farmers who cultivate Ihe beols In their Holds lo have duly free their hoes , their barrows , tholr plows , und all the utensils and tbo goring acquired lu the Ullage of land. If beet bugar macbineiy Is cheaper because ad mitted without duty , all farm machinery , all Iron and steel utensils admitted duty free would likewise bo cheaper. On tlio Monvtiiry ( jucfitlon. The United Stales laws authorizing coin age declare thai whenever any gold or silver coin from the mint of the United States shall have lost one-half of one per cent of Its orig inal weight It shall ccaso to be a legal tender for debts. The ratio of silver to gold was es timated sometime since at sixteen to ono. That ratio was very good , say in 1800 , when tbo uroduntof gold wus fl27.00U,000 and Iho product of silver $40,000.000. It Is endurable , commercially even as late as 1860 , when the product of gold was $108,000,000 and the product of silver $101,000,000 in the year , but in 18S9 , when the product of gold Is JlliO.000,000 only , nnd tbo product of silver lor the same year is $159,000,000 , it is vnrv plain lo bo soon that tbo same ratio of sixteen to ono cannot bo mathomalically es tablished or maintained botvvoon the iwo metals , The rotation of supply to demand is ihu solo regulator of values. The relation of supply to demand regulates alike tbo value of gold , salt , sllvur and soap , It Is un Inexorable law. It cab never bo amended. It can novur bo repealed , and in lu opera- lions ihcro con bo no mitigation. Wo have bore tonight , say three clttzons. The one believes uosolutoly in iho Hat of the government making absolute money out of moro paper by a moro stamp Another believes that whllo tbero should bo nemo value in the measure ol value , it may be diluted , and that Ihoroloro when silver is womb only 6" cents an ounce , lha govern ment has enough preiUlvo power in itself to convert by coining it n value ot 12'J ' cents. The third citizen Is what Is vulgarly termed n gold-bug , who believes that the bullion value of any metal is lift coined value , und thnt tbo mint stamp merely certifies tbo weight and fineness of tbo metal In each pioca coined. During this calamity howl which la prevalent lu the land pandlncr the oratloub and disquisitions as lo the misery , the penury , lha ubsolulo distress that pre vails upon those plains , It is expected that land will decline in value. The friends of the nlllanoo party ara boars on tbu real osiaio market , board on the pros perity of cities , towns , counties and the whole commonwealth. Realizing this , our ibroo lypcs of money advocates each lay asldu $1,000 wllh which to purchase land ad jacent to his homo. Each ono lays aside the money ho believes in. Our Hat irleud puts hU paper stamped money in his own house , for ho fears banks and bunkers. Our silver advocate of free silver coinage deposits his 1,000 silver dollars lu his house. The olu bug puts his lifly twenty-dollar gold pieces away in his homo. Each one content thai hl economic faith Is correct. Each ono is ready to abide the conson.uouiNis ot that fulth lu business transactions. I'rntvn by I'lru. Contontedlv each ono In his own homo re tires to rest to sleep. In ibo middle of tha nightucryof "nro ! tire I" Is heard. All Ihrea domicile * aro'in flames. All efforts to extinguish them fall. The taroo are totally doitroyod , The flit paper monov nan cbno with Its eUmpi Into thin air and smoko. The silver nnd gold nro inoltod In a cruda mass of bullion. Stamps have disappeared nllko from each. The gold bug nnd tbo sil ver ndvocato oncn IIMios out lih destroyed coin and brings Into the bullion market It * transformed roMdum , They demand from thn buyer the bullion price for It , The f 1,000 in gold Is declared worth * logo in coin loss 5 per cent for handling. That Is , today the bullion of gold H the coin value of gold. Any glvon quantity of gold ns coin n of pro- cbnly thu same value in gold as bullion. The silver bullion being weighed , in priced on the silver market for bullion nt fiT.'O. Now , then , which Is the best money for the farmer , for the mechanic , for tlu laborer ! Which the best meaiuro of vnluo and medium of exchange for the people ? An unalterable law of economics Is that when you put two mediums of oxchcngo In the Hold , ono n superior money and Ibo other nn Inferior money , the latter always takes the flnld , nnd the superior is hoanlod by the mlsor or tn en nivny by the foreigner. The ndoptlon of free colnago by the United SUtcs would bring the Orciham la\v into operation nt onco. Gold would disappear from circula tion. Silver would take iho Hold , Poreltrn- era buylne of us would pay us Invariable in sltvor. Wo buying cf them would bo Invari- nbly compelled lo pay In gold. ' ' ] .otUhitlon nil thu Ollrstlon. The truth Is the actot 185:1 : , which had boon on the statute book twenty years-sihl nothing whatever relative to the silver dollar ploco. Thu Inter net was Intended to make silver n substitute for curroncv only. The bill was introduced by C. L. Dunham from the commlttoo on ways and means In 1850. in regard to thu net of 18.7. , Mr Uun- 1mm said : "Wo have had but a sidglc standard for-tho lust three or four years. That has boon , and now i" gold , I propose lo bavM It remain so and to ndapt silver to It to regulate it by It. It seems to mo that the demonetizing of silver In tha United States wa accomplished In 1KKI.Prof , Laughllu of Harvard university , OH page 81) of 'Tho History of BI-Mctnllls'm In the United Slates,1 says , 'tho act of 18. > ! l tried * con demned the criminal , and after Uvcntcurs . of waiting for n reprieve th execution only took place In ISTit. It was lu 185:1 : Hint con- grois. Judging from our past experiences und that of other countries , came to iho con clusion that n double standard was nn im possibility tor any length of tim ; > . The act of 1S73 did not take away the legal tender quality of the 412 grain dollars. Koallv It merely discontinued the coinage of such dollars lars , but tbo net of , luuo ± ! , 187-1 , did do- monctizo silver by declaring "ibo silver coins of the United States shall bo a legal tender at their nominal value tor any amount not exceeding $ . " > In nuy ono payment. " Thus the debt-paving power ot nil silver coins was limited to $5 lu each transaction. Thus It is seen that Iho domnni'ti/utlon was accom plished apoclticnlly bv this act- There was no secrecy or stealth in the act of 1873. "That bill was reported by tur. Kelley of the commlttoo on coinage to the house of representatives .lunur.ry ' . ' , 187. , nnd Its passage recommended. In that report Mr. ICelloysays : The silver coin ot England is 10 pur cent below the value of gold coin , and. noting under the advice of the experts of this country nnd ol England atul of Franco , tlupnn has made her silver coinage within the last year 12 per cent below tbo value of ; gold coin , nnd for this reason'it , is impossible 10 retain u double standard. ItVas Jfot Secretly 1'iissril , The debates on that much denounced of 1873 in the sonalo ot the United States occupy sixty-six columns of thu Congressional Globe. The debates in the house on Ihe said secretly passed legisla tion talco up seventy-eight columns of the same Interesting journal. This legislation of 1873 was reported bv Mr. Kelley , a wo have ccon , January I ) , 1872 , having been submitted bv the secretary of the treasury to congress April S5 , 1870 , 500 copies having ueen printed May 2 of ibo same year , and ildhl not be come a law until February 12 , 187Jt. Concerning - corning Ihii bill at thai lime lr. Landcrman , once a director of the mint , said : "Section 11 reduces the weight of the silver dollar from 41214 grains to 'iSI grains. I can see no good reason for the proposed reduction1 in tbu weight of Ibis coin. It would be bettor , in my opinion , to dlsconttnuo its issue alto gether. The gold dollar is really the legal mint nnd measure of value. " Debating iho snmo bill in Iho house of roproseutnllvos April 0 , 1872 , Mr. Hooper of Massachusetts said : "Tha committee nfor careful consldoralion concluded Ibat 25.8 grains of cold , constituting the gold .dollar , should bo declared tbo money unit of metallic representative of Iho doflar ot account. Section slxleen ro-anacts the provisions of Ihe oxisling laws defining Iho silver coins and iheir weights respectively , except-in re lation lo Ihe silver dollar , which Is reduced in weight from 412j grains to 3St grains , thus making It a subsidiary coin , In harmony with tbo silver coin of loss denomination to secure Us concurrent circulation with them. The silver dollar of 413 grains , by reason or bullion value , lone1 since censed lo bo a coin of ( .Irculalion , nnd is melted by manufac turers of silverware. " "Tho foregoing is enough to show that- there was no conspiracy for the secret pas sage ot Iho act of 1871) ) . Lilt us sue what IOR- islallon has slnco Ihon boon enacted to re- nr.onellzo silver. First , wo lind the act of February 28 , 187 , which was passed over ibe veto of President Hayes by a two-lhlnls vote of each house on ibul date. This act legalizes the silvordollarof 412JJ grains , troy weight , and declares that such dollars are le gal lender at iho nominal value for all debts and dues , public und private , except wbnrc oihorwiso stipulated in tbo contract. Did noi this aot reinonetl/o silver ? Has silver been any loss u legal tender money than it was prior to the act of 1S53 and 1873 ? The Act riS73. "The next aot , approved .nine l , 137.1. to which tbe uttenliun of thn advocates of frco silver colnau-o is respectfully solicited is : To authorize Ibe redemption of silver coins. This law applies to silver coins of less luan SI denomination and Ibat they may bo re deemed In sums of $20 or any multiple Ihereof , In lawful money of iho United Stales. This latter act , by implication admits the inferiority of silver as n measure of vaiuo and a medium of exchange does It not ) Can auyono point anywboro an net to authorize tbo redemption of any iclnd of gold coin , either of large or small denomination i And if wo bad today gold halves nnd gold quarters of the dollar , would tbo gold' bugs , so called , demand a law authorizing lucir redemption In lawful money ? Did any economist advocating ihu gold standard and unit of value over conceive of a luw to authorize the redemption of gold coin upon economic principles ) Do any Christian ministers over propose a schema for the .sal vation of iho Savior ) A system of redemp tion for tbo redeemer ? " Air.Viilbueh Introduced , S , N. Wolbacb , the domoornilu candidate , was next presented , and contented himself with an expression of his satisfaction at standing before an Omaha audloncu for tbo first tlmo nnd a few admonitory words re lating to the duiv of all democrats In the coming election.
