THE Philadelphia Record says
Congress will appropriate $145, OOO,-
600 for pensions this year, and SEN
ator Allison of Iowa thinks this
sum will fall 100000 short of
the requirements of the pensions
bureau. Isn't it time the tax-pay-
ers were looking a little after this
matter2 If this vast levy is for
pensions for deserving soldiers it is
not too much; but if it is bride
for votes-and good many people
think it is-its payment should be
stopped,

A Revelation.

speeches for the last two weeks de

lism, which is q very flattering at.
tention, we admit, to the KEY
stones views on the money ques.
ton. But while entertaining the
highest regard for the gentlemen
sending them, and for their per-
sonal integrity and motives, We can
| not bring ourself to respect the al
legged arguments advanced by their
friends against bimetallism; much
less can we respect the misrepre-
sensations of such men as Abram s.
Hewitt, Congressman-elect Coombs
and the rest who, in their futile and
foolish attempts to mislead have
felt the necessity of resorting to
misstatement and deception. That
is always bad cause which needs to
be propped up by such means, and
the sooner gentlemen who aspire to
the position of leaders and teachers
abandon such measures and such
unjusti6able methods, the better it
will be for their future standing and
prestige before the American people.
Had we authorities at hand and
time and space to devote to the
subject, we would confidently un-
dertake the task of meeting and
refuting each and every statement
of the foes of free silver coinage,
because each and all are based upon
misconception, error and misrepre-
sentation, but lacking all of these,
and realizing perfectly that no sill
yer legislation can be had until the
end of the present administration,
we shall content ourself with an
attempt to explain how silver, if
coined, could be gotten into circu-
lation, this being a question that
seems to worry the "cephalic vacu-
tiles" of not a few leading mono
metallists.
Free coinage means that every
man having 100 ounces of silver
may take or send it to the mint
and get it coined. He will then
have in his pocket 1929. He is
miner and has dug that silver out
of the ground. While he was dig
ging it out the grocer sold him
-four, sugar, coffee, tea, salt etc., to
the value Of $40. The blacksmith |
sharpened his picks and drills. His
bill is 81 80. The butcher supplied
him with beef and has q claim of
$40. The clothier has another
claim of $40 for articles of raiment.
A bill at the tobacconist amounts
20 IS more. And then-it had as
veil be confessed-he was in the
habit of dropping in at Mikes
saloon" occasionally and taking a
Zip, and would at times call ''the
boys" up. Here is another bill of
10 to be paid. So we see 1922
,ut of the original 1929 is already
