This only contemplates the possibility of getting you out of a dilemma by international agreement. with the certainty of the Democrats. giving the country free coinage of silver in 1900. when the American laborer will have had the scales pulled from his eyes and wil see that your sham. promises of protection by a high tariff are Sodom apples and there is nothing in it for him but to come to starvation. As long as the country had a bimetallic currency. we prospered. The evils of immigration and glutting the labor market did not cause any.trouble. But the. case is now different. we can never hope for prosperity until our financial policy is changed. Until it is changed there is danger in allowing a free influx of more European paupers to add to the distress in our cities and threaten the very life of the Republic.
