| lion.
1t says /" on on.perishable farm pro-
ducts and also on real estate" You ask
me, why not upon stocks and bonds?
For the simple reason that the people
have not and cannot obtain such collate-
raj. In other words, our plan is intend
ed to benefit the people, and. therefore,
must rest upon such collateral as the
people have-lands and crops. 1t would
be perfect mockery to offer the farmers
of this country money upon any ether
security, and every intelligent citizen
must either agree to such plan or take
the position of 'gold-bug''-let the
people labor and let capital manage the
currency, or in word, take the en-
phatic position of Vanderbilt, damn
the people"
This plan means that the govern
ment shall continue to do inst what it is
now doing-only substitute the people
for the capitalists, and instead of an is
sue to meet the demands of the banks
an issue to meet the demands of the
people"
What are some of the advantages ?
"This plan would give US a currency
to fit the business, and not the gambling
and speculative propositions of our peo-
pie.
"This currency could not be cornered
or interfered with by the government,
and the borrower alone would be or
could parties to the contract.
"This plan would equally distribute
the currency to every section and to all
the people, thereby enabling all to pros
per, or at least an equal chance to pros
per.
This plan would take the producer
out of the hands of spectators and ena.
Bile the producer and consumer to deal
direct with each other and thereby
benefit both.
This plan would enable the poor to
reach cheap money, and if there was no
other reason to commend it to the pa
triotic Christian and statesman, this
should.
"This plan would encourage owner
ship of real estate, and thereby encour-
age and stimulate good citizenship.
This plan would encourage farming
and planting for the reason that nom
perishable crops would become a basis
for financial transactions at much less
cost to the producer than now obtains.
This plan, and only this plan would
stop gambling in futures, corners and
combines upon the necessities of life.
"This plan would help the merchants
and manufacturers in thai merchants
could realize at least the advance upon
the crops or the whole debt due upon
the land security. Manufactures could
purchase for monthly deliveries at less
expense"

The Coinage OF Silver and cold
Section 0, of an act approved April 2,
1892, provided for the coinage of both
gold and silver.
Section IL, proportioned gold to silver
in all coins as 10 of silver to one of gold,
regulating the fineness of each.
+ Section 16 made them lawful tender
in all payments whatsoever.
Section IA Of the act approved Janu.
airy is, 1887, provided: "That gold and
silver bullion brought to the mint for
coinage shall be received and coined
by the proper officers for the benefit of
depositors."
This was the rule to give to silver the
same right as that of gold, SO far as
coinage was concerned, until the act of
1878, which demonetized silver and
made gold the unit of value.
The same act that demenetized silver
and deprecated it, gave the authority to
coin what was known as the trade dol :
lar, which contained 42O grains and one
half grain, while this trade dollar con-
tanned more than the legal tender dollar
by eight grains it would not pass for a
dollar.
| have given the law as to the coinage
of both gold and silver, and to those
who want to know how they will be
benefited by the free collage of silver,
/ would ask, how will you be benefited
by the free coinage of gold? If silver
has served the purpose of money for us
Sd long, how viii you be benefited by
having it taken away? And are not the
men VINO work in the silver mines en-
titled to the same paternalism as those
who dig out the gold? Is it not class
legislation to coin the gold of our mines
and so refuse to coin the silver? The
free coinage Of both would not more
than meet the demands of the annual
increase of our material prosperity, and
when you prescribe silver by refusing it
free coinage, you take from that increase
in our circulating medium that we SO
much need, and add to the wealth OF
those who own the gold by making the
purchasing power of the gold dollar
greater.
The worlds production of gold and
silver in 1887 was, gold, 500, S26, 800;
silver, S125, 346,Sl0, of this amount the
United states produced of gold $50, 0OO,-
600 and of silver $50, 357 900, total, $780,
S57 900, of this amount produced, there
was used in the manufactures and arts
for the calendar year, 1885, Sl6,50O,0 900
gold and 100000, silver. which would
leave for coinage in the United States OF
its own production $6l,757 900 which
would not appear to be too much to
meet our increased demands. Silver
win increase our circulating medium,
and there never was a time it did moi
suit the poor man and the farmer.
