A few excerpts from his speeches further illustrate the tenor of the times.

[January 19, 1886, speech] I do not speak in the interest of any special classes of laborers or producers but in the interest of all who toil, labor, and produce; who create by their labor all the wealth of the world; the people who do not stand in high places, whose voices may not be heard in bankers’ conventions.

While not possessing all the culture of the age, they exemplify the many sterling virtues of the race and do much toward keeping alive sentiments of honesty, justice, and truth—as mighty in numbers as modest in aspirations.

What I do demand is that it [silver] shall have an equal chance with gold as a money metal.6
