England and put the money into palaces.

Now, how are we going to pay the thous
sands OF millions we owe England and other
parts of Europe! Now, the farmers IN
derstand this and they want silver en-
nanced to be on parity, at least. to that OF
the Aslatlcs. They also want the clrcula-
ton increased So, 500, 100000. We have only
half as much real money as we had
eighteen years ago. and our debts are one

HONEST JOHN SHERMAN
charges our miners with being rich and
that this legislation is to make them richer.
/ say there has been but one proposition
raised either in Congress or out of IL to do
this, and that is to coin American silver to
the exclusion of all other countries.
Under the Bland act the government
made out of the mine owners SO, 000, 900.
| Was that for their benefit! Under the
present act the government only pays the
market value for silver, so it is not losing
on that score. The next proposition is free
coinage. They say that is robbery. If you
could send silver and exchange 1t dollar for
dollar would there be any robbery in that!
That is an honest way to make one dollar
equal to another. The relative
VALUE OF THE TWO METALS
has never changed except by legislation.
With free coinage the metals cannot
change. One dollar is as good as another.
| The honest way is free coinage for both.
1t is true that the gold ring would be sew
eral Thousand millions poorer and that the
people would be several thousand millions
richer. They say with free coinage gold
would take wings and fly away. | say with
a ratio of 10 to it would remain at par
ity. France held them at an equilibrium
for seventy years. Germany can't give up
her money; it has nothing to give up. Rus
| STA and all Asia have been
REVIVED WITH CHEAP MONEY.
If the United States would cast it's for
tunes with the silver countries it would
make it stronger than it was eighteen
years ago.
The finance committee and the whole
gang at Washington acknowledged last
winter that there we're needed S25S, O00, 900
more money. In ten years we couldn't get
enough money by free silver. The actual
increase of circulation would not be large.
There is not S10,G0J,000 Of bullion in the
world at the present time. They say there
is vast amount of silver in Europe to
come here.
GERMANY HAD TO STOP
selling her silver. She didn't sell it when
it went up last year. She did not dare to
do it without additional legislation. France
has three tenths of the silver of Europe
Nron f0
Latin union entered into q contract to stop
the coinage of silver they agreed that each
of the nations should redeem the silver
held by any of the other nations at the rate
of Sl33 in gold. At this time France had
about Sl20,0O0,000 and she did not ask set

selves. There are Democrats and Repub
