by the Democratic Cnndldato Protec

nrd Bearer dllg Crowds and Mnoh En
thaslasm. ltrynn on Silver Colon.
Goldsroro, N. C., Sopt 19. This
morning Mr. Bryan spoko to hundreds
of people here, opening as follows!
"In this campaign those who boliovo
In the free coinage of silver hare
joined together, regardless of differ
ences of opinion upon other subjects.
Democrats who believe In tariff reform
and Republicans who believe in pro
tection are ablo to unite when both
recognize that the money question is
superior to the tariff question. A
Populist leader in this stato well ex
pressed the idea when he said that
while ho believed in Populist doc
trines, yet he was willing to lay some
of them aside until ho could get
others. For instance, he said that
while ho bellovcd in the government
ownership of railroads he did not
want the government to own the rail
roads as long as the Rothschilds
owned the government. It 1b this
willingness to lay aside minor differ
ences in hours of danger that charac
terizes our people and gives the surest
proof that they arotablo to riso to the
requirements of any emergency.
"Sometimes they accuse us of rais
ing a'Bectional ls.suo One of the best
evidences that the platform adopted
at Chicago does not raise a sectional
issue is found in the languago of the
platform adopted yesterday in Now
York. Let mo read it to you. After
unreservedly indorsing the platform
and tho Candidates of the Chicago
convention, the Now York platform
declares as its deliberate judgmont
that never in the history of the Dem
ocratic party has a platform been writ
ten which embodies more completely
the interestsot the wholo people as dis
tinguished from those who seok legis
lation for private benefits than that
given tc the country by the National
Democratic convention of 1800 There
within tho shadow of Wall street,
against the combined opposition of
those onco loading Democrats of New
York who have left tho Democratic
party and either gone over entirely to
tho Republicans or stopped for a
moment at a half way house, the Dem
ocracy of New York declares the plat
form adopted at Chicago is tho most
Democratic platform ever put before
the country by a Democratic conven
tion. In "tho state of Connecticut
they have also indorsed our platform,
and likewise in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. In other Eastern states
the Democracy is beginning to realize
that the Chicago platform presents to
the American people those great is
sues around which the people must
cluster if they are going to retain a
government of, by and for tho people.
"Tho threo parties which have
joined in my nomination agree that
while there are other issues before
the American people aside from the
money question, yet the money ques
tion rises paramount to them all and
must bo settled first. Other ques
tions can wait, tho money question
cannot It has been forced upon pub
lic attention. It has been brought
before the people and we have to de
cide whether we shall continue the
present financial system wheiein a
few men have undertaken to
run. the
government or shall put the financial
policy of tho American people In the
hands of tho American people to be
framed by them and form them now.
McKlnley to Iron Men,
Canton, O., Sopt, 19. When he ap
peared before tho 2, COO workmen from
tho Edgar Thompson Steel works of
Braddock, Pa., yesterday, Mr. Mc
Klnley welcomed them briefly and
then declared that a wiso pro
tective policy had made them
happy and prosperous. Ho de
clared that old lines had been effaced
and men heretofore opposed met on
a common platform to sustain the
country's honor. Restoration of pub
lic an private coufidence was most
necessary. This had been shaken es
pecially by assaults made by allied
political organizations upon the credit
and currency of the country. This
bew menace would have to be averted
before tho people could hope to have
any permanent prosperity.
"According to a census recently
taken by a newspaper in New York ft
appears that in July, 1893, 577 em
ployers of labor in tho United States
gave work to U '1,231 hands. How was
it in July, 18a0? (Cries of "Not so
good.") Tho sumo employers gave
work to 73,700 hands; 33,63 men who
had been employed In 1893 were
thrown out of employment in 1890
and put in a state of idleness, result
ing in a loss of more than 30 per cent
to labor. In July, 1892, the wuges
Said to the ll-,23l hands amounted to
3,927,000. In July, 189d, tho earnings
of the 76,700 hands amounted to only
2,409,712, a loss to labor In a single
month in those establishments of SV
457,000, or 40 per cent- (A voice:
'Pennsylvania knows it.")
"Yes. and Pennsylvania, like all the
rest of tho country, will vote tnis
year with knowledgo. (Cries of
f'Rlght, right")
"In 1893 the monthly average of
wages paid in these establishments
was 834.60, in l9d only 83l.
"My countrymen. Iam one of those
Americans who believe that the
American workshop should be pro
tected so far as possible from foreign
workshop, to the end that American
worklngmen may be constantly em
ployed, and so protected, too, as to
be employed at American wages.
(Tremendous cheering and cries of
"What's the matter with McKlnley?
He's all right ') Nor do I want pro
ducts cheapened at the expense of
American manhood. (Applause) Nor
do 1 think it is economy to buy goods
cheaply abroad if thereby it enforces
idleness at home. (Renewed applause.)
Such goods are the dearest that the
American people can buy. (Cries of
"Right you are, major.")

"The outburst of tho continental

has astonished official circles. Noth

CARLISLE ON PARITY.
HE EXPLAINS THE COVERN
MENT'S POLICY.
Some Treasury Facts lie Answers a
Number of Questions In Iteply to a
Alan From Louisville Issue of Silver
Dollar Slnco tho Act of 1873 Tho
Government nnd Its Obligations.
Loiter From Secretary Carlisle.
BAn Harror, Me., Sopt 15. -Tho
following letter on tho Biibject of tin
maintenance of the parity between
gold Hnd silver, written by Secretary
Carlisle, was mado public yestorday:
"Bar IlAniiOR, Mc, Sept 13.
James P. Helm, Louisville, Ky. My
Dear Sir: Ynur letter asking how
the silver dollars which contain a
quantity of bullion, commercially
worth only about flfty-threo cents
each, are maintained at a parity with
gold, notwithstanding the fact that
the government does not directly ro
deem them, or the. certificates issued
upon them, in gold, is received and,
as a great many inquiries upon the
samo subject are addressed to mc
dally from different parts of tho
country, which it is impracticable to
answer in u a'l, I will take advan
tage of your favor to auswer them all
at once.
"All the standard silver dollars is
sued from tho mints since the passage
of the act of 1878, now amounting to
moro than S433,00(),Oun, have been
coined on public account from bullion
fiurchased by the government and are
egal tonder in payment of all debts,
public and private, without regard to
the amount, oxcopt when otherwise
oxprossly stipulated in tho contract
between the parties. They belonged
to tho government when coined and
they are paid out by the government
at n parity with gold for properly and
services of all kinds, and received
from tho pcoplo at a parity . with gold
In tho payment of all public dues and
demands. The govornmout has made
no discrimination whatever between
the coins of tho two metals, gold hav
ing bcon paid on its coin obligations
when gold was demanded, and silver
having bcon paid when silver was de
manded. nr.STIHCTIONS PrtKSKIlVR PARITY.
"Under this policy tho coinage has
been so limited by law and tho policy
of the Treasury department that the
amount coined has not become so
great as to drive tho more valuable
coin, gold, out of use, aud thus de
stroy tho basis of our monetary sys
tem; and so long as tho two metals are
of unequal commercial valuo, at the
ratio established by law, this limita
tion upon tho coinage is, in my opin
ion, absolutoly essential to tho main
tenance of their parity in effecting
exchangeb. It constitutes tho princi
cal safeguard for the protection of
our currency ngamst tho depreciation
which tho experience of all countries'
has shown would otherwise result
from tho nttempt to use two legal
tender coins of the samo denomina
tion, but of uuequal value. If the
limitation were removed, confidence
in tho ability of tho government to
preserve equulity in tho exchangeable
value of the coins would be destroyed
and tho parity would bo lost long be
fore the amouut of silver coinage had
become really excessive.
"With free and unlimited coinage
of silver Hon account of private
individuals and corporations, tho gov
ernment would be under no moral
obligation to maintain tho parity, and,
moreover, it would be unable to do so,
because the volume of the over valued
(diver forced into tho circulation by a
legal tender provision would soon ex
pel gold from the country or put
such a premium upon itMBh it would
be impoesiblo to procuH hold in
tho treasury a sufficio(PBbount to
provlAe for the redemptlonf silver
i ptf sentatlon.
H THE GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION.
M"In order to maintain tho parity
elder such conditions the government
v$uld be compelled from tho begin
ning trxcliange gold for 6llver dol
lars, aal their paper representatives
whenevem demanded; just as it now
exchangcwrold for its own notes when
demaudedr and as the coinage of
silver dollars would be unlimited and
therefore increasing, a point would
soon bo reached where it would be
impossible to continue the process of
redemption. The inplied obligation
of the government to preserve the
value of tho money, which It coins
from its own bullion and for Its own
use and which It forces its citizens to
receive in exchange for their property
and services has been supplemented
by two statutory declarations which
substantially pledge tbo public faith
to the maintenance of that policy.
"Tho act of July 14, 1800, after pro
viding that the Secretary of thoTreas
vry should, under such regulations as
he might prescribe, redeem the treas
ury notes issued in thb purchase of
silver bullion in gold or silver coin at
his discretion, declares that It is 'the
established policy of the United States
to maintain the twometalsona parity
with each other upon the present
legal ratio, or sucl ratio as may bo
provided by law,' a J the not of No
vember 1, 1893, again declares it to be
'the policy of the United States to
continue the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, and to coin
both gold and silver into money of
equal intrinsic and interchangeable
value, such equality to be secured
through international agreement, or
by such safeguards of legislation as
will Insure the maintenance of the
parity of valuo of the coins of tho two
metals, and the equal power of every
dollar at nil times in the markets and
n the payment of debts.'
GOLD REDEMPTION.
"With knowledge of these assur
ances, the people have received these
coins and have relied confidently
upon the good faith of their govern
ment, aud the confidence thus inspired
has been a most potent factor in the
maintenance of the parity. The pub
lic has been satisfied that so long as
our present monetary system is pre
served tho government will do what
ever its moral obligations and express
declarations require it to do, and very
largely as a consequence of this con
fidence in the good faith of the exec
utive authorities the silver coins have
not depreciated in valu
"It is not doubted tlmt whatever ,
can bo lawfullv dono to maintain '
equality In tho exchangeable value of
tho two motals will be dono whenever
It becomes necessary, and, although
silver dollars and sllvor certificates
havo not, up to tho prcnont time, been
recoived in exohanga for gold, yet, if
tho time shall ovqr como when tho
parity cannot bo otherwise main
tained, such exchanges will be mado.
"It Is tho duty of tho secretary of
tho treasury, and of all othor public
officials, to exeoute In good faith the
policy declared bv Congress, and
whenever ho shall bo satisfied that
tho silver dollar cannot be kopt equal
In purchasing power with the gold
dollar exuopt by recolvlng It In ex
chango for tho gold dollar when suoh
oxchange is demanded, it will be his
duty to adopt that course.
"Hut If our present polloy Is ad
hered to and tho coinage Is kept with
in reasonable limits tho means hereto
fore employed for tho maintenance of
tho parity will doubtless bo found
sufficient in tho future, and our silver
dollars an ' silver certificates will
coutlnuc ti roulate at par with gold,
thus enabling the peopto to use both
motaU instead of one only, as would
be tho case If tho parity was destroyed
by freo coinage Yours truly,
J. G. Carlisle.

McKlnley on Tnrlff and Finance.
Canton, Ohio, Sept 17. In his ad
dress to 2,000 visitors from Somorsot
county, Pa., Mr. McKlnley dwelt upon
tho discord in tho Democratic party
and the harmony among the Repub
licans and then discussed tho high
tariff policy at somu length. Then ho
continued: "Tho Republican party is
for sound money, every dollar worth
100 conts, every dollar as good as
gold and It Is opposed alike to tho
freo and unlimited coinage of silver
and tho issuance of irredeemable
papor monoy, to which tho allied
party seems firmly committed. It
hos always kupt silver at a parity
with gold. It proposes to keep sllvor
money In clrculutiou and preserve,
side by sldo, gold, silver, paper, each
tho equal to the other, and each the
equal of the best, aud thu host nover
to be inferior to tho best money
known to tho commercial nations of
tho world. It will uuulluuo to favor
a policy thai will give work to Amer
ican citizens, markets to tho Amer
ican farmers and Bound money to
both."
Mr. McKlnley then quoted from
Webster and John Quincy Adams, and
closed. "We cannot havo commercial
growth and expansion without na
tional and individual honor. We can
not havo commercial prosperity with
out tho strictest integrity, both of
government and citizen. Tho finan
cial honor of this government is of
too vast importance, is ontirely too
sacred, to bo the foot ball of party
politics. Ibb Republican party has
malntninod it aud is pledged to main
tain it It has moro than once stood
between good faith and dishonor, and
when It gave up the control of
the government our national honor
had never before boon so high and
unquestioned. The Republican party
is pledged to maintain the credit of
tho government, which is intimately
associated with its spotless name and
honor, and this It will do under any
clrcumstrnces and at any cost It
taxed the credit of the government in
the days of the war to its utmost ten
sion to preserve tho government
Itself, which, under God, it was hap
pily enabled to do. Following that
mighty struggle, it lifted our credit
higher than it bad ever been before,
and made it equal to the oldest and
wealthiest nations of tho world. It is
pledged to maintain uncorrupted tho
cvrrency of the country of whatever
form or kind that has been used by
national authority. It mado tho old
greenback as good as gold, and kept
it as good as gold evor since. It has
maintained every form of American
money, whether silver or paper, equal
to gold, and it will not take any back
ward step. No party ever wont out
of power which loft so magnificent
a record as the Republican party.
