Ako se usude da izađu u javnost da zastupaju zlatni standard kao dobru stvar, mi ćemo se boriti protiv njih do kraja, iza nas će stajati radni narod ove nacije i ceo svet. Podržaće nas svuda privrednici i radnici. Odgovorićemo na njihove zahteve za zlatni standard ovim rečima - nećete staviti na glavu radnika ovu krunu od trnja.
If they dare to come out in the open field and defend the gold standard as a good thing, we will fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the laboring interests and the toilers everwhere, we will answer the demands for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns.
