day he and the president went fishing
he took his fine rod, and when they
reached trout stream he began whip

REAGAN ON SILVER COINAGE.

Hon. John II. Reagan has lately
presented his views upon the silver
question in a very exhaustive paper,
shaped as an interview. He says, the
pretended purpose of the banks and
the bondholders Is to suspend silver
coinage, but that the real purpose is
in the end to demonetiZe silver. AS
4 reason for this purpose he says:
Because it is to their interest to
have money scarce and dear, and the
rate Of interest high. This would In
crease the value of their money in its
relation to the property and business
of the country, and give them larger
and to them more profitable control
Of the property and commerce of the
country; while, on the contrary, it is
to the interest OF the people to have a
liberal circulation of money and a
mo lerate rate of interest. But the
banks have an additional and very
powerful motive for desiring to have
silver demonetiZed and put out OF cir
culation. If they can accomplish this,
and can get congress to redeem and
cancel the S346,0OOO0O of outstanding
legal tender (greenback) notes, this
would leave the gold coin and ma
tional bank notes as the only money
with which to carry on the business of
the country, and would enable them
to control the country; and would
give them the power, in their own
interest or in the interest of their
friends, to control the prices of the
staple commodities of the country,
such as cotton, wheat, flour, meats and
the like, and TO make prices high or
low as suited their interests"
Mt. Reagan asserts that the
selfish spirit, which is directed against
the circulation of silver and of legal
tender notes. would lead to contracs
ton or imitation Of currency. to pro-
mote private instead of public inter-
eStS. He instances d notable occasion :
The Republican party, IN the inter
est of the banks aQC bondholderS, and
of those having fixed incomes, provid-
ed by law for the demonstration of
silver and for the taking up and can
ceiling of the S4O0.OO0,000 legal tender
notes then outstanding. The treasury
department mad taken up and can
celed over 100000 of these notes
when the Democrats in congress, aided
by some western Republicans, sue
ceeding in February, 1873, in arresting
the taking up and cancellation of over
| 1916, 100000 of these notes, and in re-
tanning them as part of the volume of
our current money to aid the business
of the country, instead of converting
thea into an InteTeSt-beiTing bonded
debt to still further Cypress a debt.

session the Democrats and some west.

the coinage of not less than 100000

and private. Each of these measures

The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-09-17

Using Mr. Raagan's own words, it
is said:
This table, official from the treasury
department, shows that from the
eleven months, which ended the 31st
of last May. the geld coin and bullion
exported from the United States was
of the value of S1,725,a 800, and that
the gold coin and bullion imported
into the United States during the
same eleven months was of the value
of S27 ,461 1913, showing a balance in
our favor during that time of S19.-
726.O33. This table also shows that
during the same eleven mOaths we
exported $50, 1886 worth Of silver
coin and bullion, and imported but
S15,646,914, showing balance against
us on the silver account of Sl4, 1892.
Thus. while during the last eleven
months, for which l have the official
statement, we drew from other coun-
tries nearly 100000 il gold more
than we sent to them; We at the same
time sent to other countries nearly
S15.C00,0O0 in silver more than we re-
ceived from them. with the balance
of trade still largely in our favor, with
almost certainty that it will remain
so for long time to come. Could
anything demonstrate more thor
oughly the falsity and absurdity of
the statements we SEE every dav in
the newspapers, and coming from
national bankers and their retainers
that silver coinage is driving the
gold out of the country, and is going
to cause a great financial panic" it

it as one OF the most remarkable phe-

would seem that from very shame
the men who would have been max
ing this statement for the last seven
years would, In the face of official
facts, which must be known to them,
give the people rest for them.
Mr.. Reagan presents another table.
in which it is observed that
some of the leading financial
powers, notably France, have more
silver coinage than gold, and yet the
value of silver is on par with gold.
AS to the record of the democratic
party on the silver coinage question.
he confines himself in illustration to
but two test votes in congress:
In 1878, when President Hayes We
toed the bill remonetiZing silver, max
ing silver dollars a legal tender and
authorizing the issuance of silver Ger
| tiiicateS, at the command of the ma

| believe, the house, in passing the bill
over his veto, voted yeas 123 demo-
| Gratis and 70 republicans, mostly from
| the West; nays, 81 democrats and %
republicans. And during the last ses-
sion OF congress, when the house, was
asked to authorize the president to
suspend silver coinage, the proposition
was defeated by a very large majority

ing against it under a peculiar ard
powerful pressure. But l have not
the record before me so as to give the
exact vote by numbers and parties.

cant votes on the currency question
In 1878 congress passed law to pre-

and cancelling the outstanding S346

vetoed it also. The house passed il
over his veto by the following vote
