tniit the democrats wuru determined to at

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

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

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.

doitroyod , The flit paper monov nan cbno

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. ' '

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 ? "

opened by inuslo by Nebraska City's bund ,
after which II. M. Moydstou Introduced Mr ,
Uryun ox tbo first speaker.
Mr. Bryan was greotud with applause. He
said the deb a to bad narrowed down to two
questions. He could not defend hi * ro cord ,
as ho haj dcuo nothing either to com
mend or condemn. Taxes , be said ,
should only be levied for the sup
port of the government. Ho read
portions of a letter from tha stockholder ! of
the Fremont Binding Twine coaipanv but
refused to road tha entlru oonionts of the
letter upon Mr , Field's request. Ho de
clared the tariff to bo a tax nnd unconstitu
tional , Mr. llrynn' poech was but n re
hash of ono mndo bore when ho accepted the
nomination with a few additional free tradt >
roranrks.
He tnlKod freely of salt , tin nndllannol nnd
toln what n friend ho Is to iho fanner and
\vormnnn. Ho admitted that the McKlnloy
bill Insured hluUwVIIRes for work but said
the manufacturers did not pay them nnd made
"
the ftatomont that wages "woro no hinder
In ihl * counlry than In Europe , ovcrylhlng
was oonsldbrod. When Br.vnn struck iho
silver question ho struck n snnir nnd fulled

Ho said all IcndWg democrats wcro In favor

of thn tiiUaro of a pa'tbptlo nppoal for alllatico

Judeo Flold wns Introduced by Hon. John
C. Wntson. If'.Mr. Brvaivwas pleased with
liberal applause 'Mr. Flsfd should bo over
joyed. Ho was greeted with one mighty yell
ns ho stopped forward. The demonstration
continued several minutes. Mr. Vat-
son referred to. Hon. AllenV. .
Fisld ns the i Nebraska product
oleotcd to do bnlllo wllh that silver King ,
Uryan. Judge Field commenced bv referring
lo Nebraska ns tha. best stale In tbo Union , n
result of republican rule. Hoforrlng to
Mr. Bryan's record , ho said ho pro
posed to Illuminate Ills , looord ns
nlTccttng this particular looallty. Ho
has douo iho " vest he could nnd
wouUUlo no bolterIf returned. Ho then
referred to Bryan's vote on the rlvur and
harbor bill , r. quotlou of great interest lo
ibis cliy. Mr. Bryan wished lo nmond the
rlvur nud harbor bill tb road "Salt crook"
Instead ot Missouri. , '
It Bryan bad the interests of his constitu
ents al hoarl ho would have voted for the
bill , said the speaker. Ho would rather
criticise Bryan for what ho had not done.
Ho had nn opportunliy. out neglected It , cit
ing numerous Instances where ho had
helped to defeat bills bonullclal to thU
stato. Mr. Field referred to Bryan's vote
on the Russian .aid appropriation , voting
ngulnst thp wishes of bis constituency ; also
his vote on iho iV&rltl's fair appropriation.
Hcforrlng to Bryan's statement that the
turlff took money -from mio man's pocket and
put it io nuotheM , Field said ho was opposed
to taking money from Americans pockets aim
pulling II In foreigner * . [ Great applause. |
Bryan claimed that Iho tariff was uncon
stiuitlonal. Fielil sh'owocl the fallacy of this
democratic theory In Jusl one mlnuto by
quoting leading democrats and supreme
couri decisions. '
The peculiarity < Jf ovnry democrat , the
speaker thought , was whenever Ihoy found
an American Induslry springing up the
natural toudcncy was to .strangle it whllo
republicans foster and protect It. [ Wild
uheorlng.J Mr. Field then produced his
butcher knives ( same asBryan ? carried ) und
proved that un American knife could not
compot-vwlth the English itnlfo until iho
McICinloy bill wan pissed , Ihon referring lo
Bryan's plea for free lumber Field asked
whv thu dumocratjo house did not pass it.n
Ho made n happy hit , , on Bryan's stereo
typed speech bg aaylilg Brvnn said ho h.ul
heard his ( Fiold' ) - spocyti live times ; li
nsked how manyt times' , the people of this
aistrict had heard Brian's speech , w th
tlanncl , tin ironj and btiier things which
Brynti had attempted1 to prove were
dearer slnco the McKlnloy law wns
passed. Hoferrlni' to'Bryan's altitude on
silver ho coiupaletQt With that of Morton
nnd other promjnont .democrats. Ho said
Bryan was IreojijTj > , rltO for nlliunco votes
only. Before Field left tbu silver question
't became evident thai Bryan wished it was
lot an issue. A/blow after blow demolished
the free silvcrlin's bjow of rhetoric ibo
clioors of Ibe n dlencomiust have convinced
Bryan that ho hurt straddled once too of ton.
All through Field's speech ho bested
Bryan , taking Bryan's arguments picco bv
pleco and holding up the shreds , stripped off
their honied words , nakoj skeletons , bare of
"acts. Ho closouVwtth hot shot Hying Into
hoeiioinv's camp uud sat down amid thun
ders of applause.
Bryan in bis ilft'on minutes reply at
tempted lo reply but ho made poor work.
He was clearly outargued.
At the close of Iho meeting hearty cheers
were glvon for both candidates.
