EDITOR JOURNAL: There has been much SAID
IN favor of free coinage Of silver Some argue
that the free coinage of silver would make money
more plentiful that there would be larger circu-
aton per capita. 1t is true that men of apparently
sound financial ideas claim that free coinage would
be beneficial only to those who silver or
mines that produce that metal that man who
had $3.50 or SSS9 in silver could deposit it in the t.
S. Mint. and take out 1000 silver dollars and that
no advantage would accrue to the masses The
free silver men say that should the Government
adopt the free coinage system it would at ell
nance the price of silver and thus benefit the pro
Queer and his employees and at the same time make
money plenty, and, as Uncle Scion says, put more
dollars in the hog If this free coinage of silver
be the true theory, then why would not the
rule apply to free coinage of copper! The
market is dull with downward tendency and if
it goes down to Is cents, it is claimed that most of
the copper mines must stop, thus throwing out of
employment many men, the miners and the men
and railroads that transport the ore, the copper
and the necessary supplies, as we'll as those who
manufacture the machinery and tools necessary to
carry on the great amount of work. ut is claimed
that Calumet and Hecla is the only Lake Superior
mine that can produce copper at ID cents per
pound, and it is said that the Douglass at Blue
hill can produce copper at less than IA cents per
poundl If free coinage of silver would benefit the
country, then the free coinage of copper would
benefit the country, would enhance the price of
copper, employ more men, require more machin-
cry, which would employ more machinists, en-
ploy railroads and make money plenty, and of
course put more money in the hog as Uncle So
Ion says. HONEST MONEY
