No motive can be held out by this bill or by the McKinley act to a distressed people that there will be less depression. that if they create property they can make money out of it. that they can sell it for more than they gave for it. and until they have that feeling. the process of decay. the process of stagnation. the process of ruin will go on. Let me say that I sympathize most sincerely with the manufacturers. with all men engaged in enterprises in this country. with all captains of industry. I sympathize with them because they have a task to perform which is greater than ever was undertaken by man before. they have a task to perform in reducing wags under the gold standard to bring our people on a level with the coolies of Asia. The American people will resist it. This generation can not be subdued to submit to the conditions of the gold standard without a struggle.
