SUH.TREASURY HUAgRIG.

Congressman Grains reply 10 the re-
quest OF the sub-treasury ties for an eN-
preston OF his opinion on the sub
treasury humbug ought to convince any
honest man not an idiot that the Ocala
platform. and all others that conform
to it. are the work either of mischief
makers. designing and corrupt rG9ues
or ignorant and inculpatie journeymen
statesmen. His analysis OF the Picker
and the Vance sub-treasury bills, intro
duced at the last session OF congress,
shows the utter and unspeakable alb
surdity Of the scheme proposed by
these fellows. \ shoemaker on the
taiIor's beneh could not execute more
complete botch in making a suit Of
clothes. But arguments and illustra-
tiOns are lost on the sub-treasury lead
ers. Either they can't see or they
won't see the folly OF their course.
Sane men Of all parties and conditions
see that the first victims and greatest
sufferers from sub-treasury enactment
would be the very people for whose
especial benefit il was designed-the
farmers. 1t is not without good reason
that men suspect the honesty of leaders
who persist in the face OF obvious ruin
10 their own clients. in a course that
common sense and experience both con-
denim and abhor. People would prefer
TO call them fools and blockheads if
they were not known 10 have sense
enough about other matters, and if cer-
tain manifestations had not now and
then cropped out tending 10 show that
there was method in their madness.
Think of the Toolcy street audacity
with which a handful OF them proclaim
the sub-treasury as genuine Democ-
racy" and call upon the Democratic
party 10 come TO them or be lost. We
are all to repent and he baptized in the
sub-treasury pool or be -. Well, well
see about it. But first, what reward
do the NIacunes and others expect for
preaching the new evangel: That is
q very important matter.

| silver. This has been shown to be
erroneous by pointing to the fact that
| it takes sixteen ounces OF silver to pur-
chase an ounce of gold in this country,
| while in Europe fifteen and one-half,
and in India fifteen ounces will buy one
ounce of the yellow metal. Money
won't run away from cheap to dear
market 1t has more sense IN its
friends give it credit for.
They say too that free coinage will
drive gold out Of the country. That is
is what they said when in 1873 the gov
, eminent was authorized to coin not less
than two nor more than four millions
OF silver per month. Ex-President
Cleveland shared that opinion, and
only recently admitted that he was
mistaken. as he confessed that he was
in the other belief that the purchase
by the government, as ordered by the
last congress. of four and half ounces
OF silver per month, would have like
disastrous effect. He was even candid
enough to add that, in as much as he
had miscalculated so wide of the mark
in these two instances, it was barely
possible that he might be in error in
opposing free coinage.
The coinage and purchase OF silver
bullion has not only not driven out
gold, nor wraught any injury whatever,
but has on the contrary, as every one
now sees. been the salvation OF the
country. The S3l6, 00O.0 OF silver in
the treasury used as the basis Of as
many dollars in silver certificates. To-
gether with the millions in cir
culatiOn. have sustained the finances
of the country through the re-
cent stringency. This circumstance
alone is the most powerful and con-
vincing proof of the great value Of the
white metal. No better argument in its
favor could be desired. 1t is unan-
swerable even by the spirit of greed
that rules in the East. Else why
should Henry Clews of New York say
recently as quoted by Senator Coke in
his communication to last Sundays
issue OF THE GAZETTE. that the silver
bullion notes have contributed greatly
to maintaining ease and confidence in
the money market?
France has 81 900. 900, 900 in gold and
silver, or nearly 500. 900 600 more of
coin in circulation than We with double
her population have in coin and paper.
Her gold and silver are nearly equal in
quantity. Why does not the presence
of 500, 00O.0 600 of silver coin Danish her
gold? When that inquiry is answered
satisfactorily, it will be time enough to
consider seriously the objections raised
on that score by our gold-loving friends
OF the East. France has more gold and
silver coin than any other country or
nation. and she is also the most pros
porous in spite OF the enormous drain
on her resources 10 maintain a vast
military establishment Here again DO
we find powerful and practical argU-
ment for silver. In the face of these
stubborn facts and realities. come the
theorizings OF the gold-bugs. Which
should the people put their faith in?
