I am fully sensible of the honor jou do me , and beg to return m > grateful acknowledg ments When Jefferion said that he would rather have newspapers without a govern ment than a government without ne\v stupors , he Indicated the vital part which news papers play under free Institutions That was 100 jcais ago. They were then printed , with all the limitations of the hand press , with only the Infrequent mall as their feeder , and onlj the stage coach as their distributor Today llhcity Is their vital breath , but the telegraph Is their nerve center and the i all- road their arterial circulation. Government has expanded and population multiplied twenty-fold , but newspaper circulation ami have multiplied a icsoii-rce-a and Influence thousand-fold A hundred jears ago news papers were sentinel at the outposts To day they hold the central cltldel as leaders and exponents ; they arc the very life-blood of free discussions.

The Journalists are the real educators We must first educate our selves We must educate the people In elemental principles We must educate them to understand that we cannot have- two standards of value any more than two standards of weight or length. In our mod ern civilization the function ot money as a measure ot value Is even more Important than Its functions as a medium of exchange Our existing standard of value Is the 100- ccnt gold dollai ; free silver coinage would make our standard the DO-cent silver dollar lar , and that Is the reason why It would bo a crime of repudiation , dishonor and dls aster. "We must educated the people to realize that government fiat cannot make money.

It has D2 cents' worth of value and -18 cents' worth of faith faith that the govcinment will fulfill Its pledge of keeping It at parity with gold. The proposed silver dollar under free coinage would be neither real nor rep- icsentatlve It could not say even with the paper dollar , "I know that my redeemer llvcth , " for there would be no redemption , and without redemption Its value would sink to Its bullion value of 52 cents.

He seems to think that we ought to have a distinct American meas ure of value because wo have a distinct American measure of liberty.
