all our wants. Our responsibilities cease
when we go beyond state lines.
Mr.. Leech, however, is of opinion
that the free coinage of silver would
result in Europe dumping all it's
silver upon US. But let him speak
for himself. He says:
IF the effort of the UniIed States is to in
crease the use Of silver tor money purDos es
not here alone but everywhere, that effort
would be defeated by a free coinage law
here, because, while it would undoubtedly
increase the use OF silver in this country
il would reduce ii elsewhere 1t would 90
more than that, for by enabling foreign
governments to melt down their silver
coins and sell them for our gold at our
coming rate, it would destroy the interest
of such countries in the restoration of
silver as a money metal While it would
temporarily raise the price Of silver, the
ultimate effect would be to raise the price
of gold The world over, by enabling
countries now having the double standard,
or the silver standard, to adopt the gold
standard, thus creating an increased dc
mand Tor gold and causing it to appreciate
in value, aggravating, in fact, the very evil
complained of-the dearness of gold. At
The same time it would necessarily lower
the price of silver, because it would enable
Europe (not to speak Of South American
and other countries) TO throw vast quaint
ties of it on the Am rican market.

TIE Sill YER QUESTION.

The foremost Of all great questions
before the American people to-day
is silver. 1t is a tougher problem to
tackle than the tariff ever was. In
the current number Of the Forum
two views Of the question are pre-
sented. One is from the pen of
Hon. r. P. Bland, who is making
such hard fight in congress for free
coinage. The other side Of the
question is argued by e. o. Leech,
director of the Mint. In his articlr
Mr.. Bland says:
Ifitwere once understood that the Federal
government was remanded back to its un-
doubled constitutional powers, and would
perform those duties enjone.i by the Con
stitution, that is coming freely bo,h the
precious metals, gold and silver. for the
use OF the stat s, and that the people OF The
states must look to their own local govern
menis to supplement this with whatever
credit money they required, We should a.
once relcgate almost entirely the money
question nom The halls OF Congress, aud we
should hear no more OF the sub treasury
schemes and lnnd-loau demands, nor OF the
many plans for the unlimited issue of pure
y fat money. When the taxpayer OF the
Stale understands that his own local gov
eminent must be responsible for credit
money issue that his properly must stand
sponsor for The value Of the money, that
ia afion Of the citizen Ut the state will be

will then consider the money question In
its true light. We are too prone to view

4 TARIFF TALK.

| A AHLHH IdLA.
Up to 1910 England had for eight
centuries been the strongest Of pro-
lection countries, parliament having
in that time passed something like
three hundred bills of the Mckinley
monstrosity stripe.
Let US now glance at the condition
of affairs in England in 1910. We
learn from Mulhall's dictionary of
statistics that in that year the wealth
of the United Kingdom was dis
tributed as follows:
Glass. Families. Per family
Middle............... 792,100 1,439
Working 4341 067 A
Then the rich had for years been
growing richer and the poor poorer,
just as they are doing in this country
under the workings Of the obnox-
ious Mckinley tariff bill.
In 1860 England adopted free
trade and a change for the better
was Immediately felt by the work
ing classes.
Let us now look at the returns for
1877, after free trade had been
in operation for only seventeen
years. The wealth of the kingdom
was then distributed as follows:
Class. Families. Per family.
Rich. 90, 500 e25,903
Middle. ........... 1924, 400 100
Working. ......... 1921 100 S6l
What a change! Here we see the
poor getting richer and the rich
poorer. In other words, the wealth
Of the country becoming gradually
bnt surely more evenly distributed
among the masses. Over one million
families Of the working class have
Joined the middle class and the
average wealth Of every working
family is nearly doubled.
These are facts for the people to
ponder. There must be a change in
this country, or soon the entire
wealth will be owned by the few and
the masses must starve or become
tho eorfo oF tho rich
The FLoR1DIAN does not favor alb
solute free trade for the immediate
present, but a gradual advance to
that end. What we Want now is
freer trade with tariff for revenue
only.
How can this be obtained? Certain
ly not through the republican party!
It's leaders are but the slaves Of the
monopoly and protection barons.
1t is the parent Of the present high
tariff robbery. 1t would increase
rather than lower the tariff if its
leaders only dared.
The only hope for the masses is
that they, irrespective Of past party
affiliations, set to work this year
with the determination of electing an
honest, upright democratic statesman
as president-one who will pledge
himself to make the fight on the
Tariff Reform platform.
Give the party of progress and
reform a trial. Get to work, all we
who are heavy laden, and help elect
a democratic president.
