MA. CARNIarE WHITES AGAINST
SILVER.

M8
SILVER.
Carnegie, the Pennsylvsnis p~lutocrat,
has an article in the North American Re
view against the free coinage Of silver
now or at any other time. Like all Others
Of his class he claims that the restoration
Of silver would destroy the whole 6nsn-
cial fabric Of the United States. Bu'
neither Carnegie. nor any Of his class,
bring forth . single tangible argument in
support Of the empty declaration that the
increased use Of silver would be disss-
srous TO the country. Ii 10 ell sound and
nothingness. Not one prediction OF this
class Of writers has ever come true. We
were told In 1878 that the Bland bill
would be followed by utter demoralizs-
sion and ruin. The very reverse come to
pass. From denomination in 1873. to
decentralization in 1878, such . period OF
depression swept over the country ss had
never been known before. Immediately
upon the heels Of the passage OF the Bland
bill the whole land at once became pros
porous. IL not this lesson Of history
worth something in the solution OF the
so.called silver question! Does it not
prove oonclusively that the volume Of
money 10 circulation among the people
has everything to do with good or bad
simes according to the amount that may
be In circulation. But men Of the Car.
nigie stripe will not debate the question
fairly. They Dramatically ssy that free
silver will ruin the country without CIV
ing . single logical reason - sustain their
position. The goldite theory and preten-
sion 10 the sillisst kind of rot. Mr.. Car
nisie takes great credit to the Republican
party for standing out against the silver
iniationists 90 he calls the silver advo-
Gates. In like manner he reprobates the
Democratic party for being in favor oil
silver. We will give him credit for stat
ing the relative positions of the two par
ties on the subject correctly. The Re-
publican party Is the party Of gold and
monopoly. while the Democratic party
10 the party Of gold and silver and the
people. This is true to-day and has al
ways been true. A vote for the Repub-
iican party is . vote against silver. To
be Q Republican In Nevada or elsewhere
10 TO be ranged with the relentless enc
mics Of the chief resource and industry
of our State. A Republican President
and Republican Senators furnish the only
possible object TO free coinage now. Out.
side Of Grover Cleveland there has never
been any faltering in the Democratic line.
Democratic votes have accomplished all
for silver that ever has been done for it.
We have the appeal Of Carnegie that the
Republican party must be kept in power
TO beat back silver. A correspondent for
. New York paper from Washington has
lately urged the same thing in favor Of
Blaine a. > Presidential candidate. He
: says Elaine is . sound gold bug. but is
such a popular favorite in the West. for
other reasons, that he is the only Repub.
lican candidate who would stand Q ghost
OF . show Of carrying the mining States.
Blaine has always stood with Sherman
on the silver question. The only speech
he aver made on the subject was against
the Bland bill. Blaine and Carnegie are
bosom friends. and possibly think much
alike ON important public topics. To show
how Carnigie feels about silver we quote
this sentence from his article to which
reference 10 made above: 81. . Republi-
can, would rather give up the Mckinley
bill, and pass the Mills bill, IL for the ex'
change / could have the present silver
bill repealed and silver treated like Other
metals" And pray, Mr.. Carnegie. how
much more Of . commodity could you
make Of silver than 10 made Of it by thu
present fraudulent law. Silver Is on a.
exact level with your pig iron under pres
emit conditions. II goes up to-day Ane
down tomorrow at the caprice OF th'
Wall street gamblers and spectators
Does your pig iron do more or less thar
thisi The vice Of the present law 10 thai
il makes silver . commodity. Every mar
who voted for IL deserved . coat Of tn
and feathers. Any law that treats silvel
% other than . royal money metal o
equal dignity with gold is . cheat and
swindle.
