Tie Silver Issue Plainly Stated.

1t is said if we adopt the silyel
standard we will get more money
for our labor and productions. Thi;
does not follow, but, even if it be
true, the purchasing power of oul
money Will be diminished. All ex.
perience proves that labor and the
productions of the farm are the
last to advance in price. Even if
after a long struggle, wages and
wheat should advance as silver
falls, what benefit does the farmer
or laborer get? None whatever. He
will get more dollars with less pur-
chasing power. Silver dollars worth
II cents in gold will buy no more
food and clothing than " cents Of
our money now. The capitalist and
speculator can protect themselves
from loss by STIMULATING for gold
payments. This is almost univer.
sally done now in California and
other silver countries, and is gen.
orally done in all railroad and
other securities running for long
time. The owner of land and other
property can advance his price as
the silver falls. The whole burden
of this policy falls upon those who
depend upon their daily labor for
their daily bread, and for the ben
eft of those who hope, by cheaper
ing money, to pay their debts with
money less valuable than the mon
ey they agreed to pay. The people
of the United States are requested
in this way to participate in a
fraud. l cannot believe, if they I'M
dersto cd it, they would do it.
But it is said we want more mon
ely to transact the business of the
Do we get more money by
demonetizing one-half of all we
have?-for the gold now in circu-
lation is more than one-half of the
coin in circulation. 1t is now the
basis of all the great transactions
Of foreign and domestic commerce.
With gold at a premium it would
sink out of sight and be cought
and sold like any other commodity
as it was during the war after the
of specie payments. We
will again have gold for the CAPT
talists and silver for the people.
The fluctuation will be daily mark
ed by the premium on gold. Now
both are on the same footing. You
receive your pay in the highest
standard of value known among
men. Every dollar of paper money,
whether it be a bank note or a
greenback or a silver or gold GER
or a treasury note, is back
I'd by the Governmet of the United |
States with ample silver and gold
to make good its promise, for when
We now issue treasury notes for
silver bullion we take care to get
silver enough to be equal at its
market value in gold. The gold and
silver and notes in which you are
now paid will travel anywhere in
he world and everywhere be re-
;eiYed at par. If an increase of
is desired, you can have
t under existing law.-Ex.

The bexar cOumty SIN.

1Hc DeAaT county Spiil.
As the question was before the
credentials committee at Austin,
and as It will be before the creden-
tials committee at Houstin, a
slight resume of the causes of the
Bexar split and the present status
of affairs may be Of interest to the
state at large: Denying that Mayor
Callaghan IS the legally constituted
chairman of the county Democratic
executive committee, primaries
were held by the people, delegates
to the county convention were re-
elected and the convention held.
Delegates to the various conven-
tons were chosen and an execu-
tive committee was formed. This
is known as the "Schramm faction.
Primaries were called by Mayor
Callaghan and delegates to coun-
ty convention selected. This con-
vention was dominated and over
ridden by men who are not Demo-
Gratis and do not know what De-
mocracy means. Those upon the
floor who sympathized with the
candidacy of Mr.. Clark we're treat
ed in a most outrageous manner
and finally withdrew. They ARE
known as the "Upson faction"
The representatives of the three
delegations were present at the
Lampasas convention and present
ed their claims. They were advis-
ed to reorganize the party in this
county by mass meeting. That
was the sentiment of the Democ-
racy of the state so far as the Lam
pasas convention was authorized
to express it. In agreement with
the advice, upon return to Bexar
county a mass meeting was called
by the signatures of more than
thousand of our best citizens.
Every man who was Democrat
was invited to participate. The
"Schramm faction" refused be-
cause the "Callaghan faction"
would not enter. The "The Cal
laghan faction" refused because it
was satisfied that Mr.. Hogg would
have a majority at Houston and
that its claims would be recognized
whether there was any justice in
them or not. Those who really
wished the reorganization and re-
establishment Of the party in this
county attended the mass meeting
1t was notable for the character of
the men composing it, the quietude
and dignity of its proceedings and
the utter absence of the Office
seeking element. Delegates were
chosen and an executive commit
tee in due form. Upon the mind
of The Express there has never
been a shadow of a doubt as TO
which of the three delegations is
entitled to a hearing in Democrat
councils. The people of the mass
meeting are the people. Every
democratic precedent founded up
on Democratic principle and every
sentiment of justice speaks for
them. We have had no Democratic
party for some years. These men
in the broad light of the day have
done their best for the party.
They are entitled to thorough
and equitable consideration of
their case. The Express hopes
that they will get it. But it does
not know that they will.-San An
tonic Express.

THE TREASURY STOCK OF SILVER


There was read in the senate the
other day a communication from
: the directors of the mint which,
although it contained nothing but
a series of answers to questions
put by one of the senators, was OBJ
jected to as constituting an argu-
ment on the silver question. We
refer to the statement of Director
Leech in answer to certain ques-
tons put by Senator Palmer in ref
erence to the number of silver dol
lars held by the treasury and in cir
culation and other cognate matters.
The questions and answers were as
follows:
First. What number of standard
silver dollars are now in circula-
ton? Answer. 56,779,4S4.
Second. What number of standard
silver dollars are now in the treas
ury?
Answer. 357, 189,251.
Third. What number of troy
ounces, or avordupois pounds, of
silver bullion purchased with sill
yer or coin certificates, is now in
the treasury?
Answer. 76,933,OOO troy ounces
of fine silver or 5,412,45S avordu-
pois pounds.
Fourth. What length Of time
would it require with the present
mint facilities to coin all the silver
bullion in the treasusy into stand
ard silver Dollars?
Answer. Nearly two and half
years doing no other coinage).
Fifth. What number of standard
silver dollars, at the present legal
ratio, would the silver bullion in
the treasury purchased with sill
yer or coin certificates) produce if
coined?
Answer. IO2,O55,OOO.
The questions and answers are
certainly of interest from several
points of view. They show, in the
first place, that it has been found
impossible to force any but small
proportion of the total coinage of
standard dollars into circulation.
Less than one seventh of the entire
coinage is at present in circulation,
$50, 1894 out of total of nearly
S4l4,0OO,0OO. Another point of in
terest was elected in response to
the question, what number of stand
ard silver dollars at the present le-
gal ratio would the silver bullion
in the treasury, purchased with
silver or coin certificate, produce
if coined? The answer of the direc-
tor of the mint to this question was
that the amount of silver in the
treasury so purchased, viz: 1885,
900 troy ounces of fine silver, would
produce, if coined, about S102, 055,-
900. OF particular interest, also,
under the terms of the free coinage
bill which recently passed the SEN
ate, is the answer to the question,
what length of time it would re-
quire, with the present mint facili-
ties, to coin all the silver bullion
in the treasury into standard sill
yer dollars? The answer of the di-
rector of the mint to this question
is that it would take nearly two
ana half years, doing no other
coinage. The bill which recently {
passed the senate, but has since
failed in the house, repealed the +
silver purchase act of July IA,
1890, and directed the secretary of {
the treasury to have coined all the {
silver bullion in the treasury pur- l
chased with silver certificates. The |
it now appears, would take
about two years and half, during !
which time there could be appar- :
emily no addition to the treasury
stock of silver. -Bradstreet's. I
