SPEECH BY HOKE SMITH.
The Kx-SooToUry Not for Free 8Ilror,
Dat for llryan Nevertheless.
Damon Go., Sopt 2L Hoko Smith,
ox-scorotary of tho Interior, spoko
horo to-day to a largo political rally,
held under tho auspices of tho stato
Domooratto executive committeo. In
opening ho referred to a formor visit
to Dalton two years ago, at which ho
spoko In behalf of "sound curroncy,"
and urged that tho Democratla nation
al platform should not approve tho
frco coinage of silver. Ho stated that
ho would not bo candid did ho fail to
say to-day that his vlowa on tho finan
cial question remained unchanged,
and he regretted that ho could not In
dorse that part of tho platform adopted
at tho Chicago convention. He urged
howover, that those who, like himself,
did not approve of this plank, would
still remain loyal to the regular nomi
nees of tho party.
Mr. Smith claimed that long aftor
tho financial question was settled, tho
Democratla party would bo found ad
vocating principles dear to tho- In
terests of the masses of tho people of
tho country, and It would be unwise
to quit tho party on account of oppo
sition to n single plank in the plat
form. So far as those were concerned
who had taken a part in tho fight for
"sound money" delegates to the Chi
cago convention, ho felt that they
were practically pledged, as ho was
actually pledged, to voto for tho nom
inee. Mr. Smith then briefly discussed
that portion of the Chicago platform
which dealt with the subject of rais
ing revenue. Ho urged tho justice of
a tariff for revenue only, and con
trasted It with the high protcctlvo
tariff for which McKinloy so pro-eml-
nently stood. Ue approved of tho in
come tax and insisted that it was not
class legislation.

men of the nation. We feel that In

monetary reform to the end that tho
people shall enjoy better industrial
conditions.
"it is not anticipated that this can
he done with unduo haste or so sud
denly ap to wrench or disjoint tho
business interests ot tho country, but
that it will be done trrudually, nnd In
a way to infuse contidenco and hope
of better conditions for all.
"Tho People's party will exact of

mado in your public utterances nnd
exemplified in a life devoted to the
welfare of tho race, nor will it ask
you to abandon tho paity of which
you are an honored member.
