The Honest silver Dollar.
The Republicans 81 Dubois counsy q,
their late County Convention declared
tor An "honess dollar I ccnstrue thu,
10 mean "a honest silver dollar. II my
lconsiruction 10 correct they did not xes
the honest silver dollar from their ~
party, - the only dishonest silver dollar
ever coined BY the United States 49,
The ''ssade doilsr." coioed under Repub.
licsn rule aud legislstion. while ~ the
same time they demonetixed the honest
Democratic silver dollar. This wicked
nction resulted In . general uprising al
the masses. and the overthrow Of tho Re-
publican machine q that time, the re-
monetizing Of the old standard silver
dollar By the Democratic Congress. a.
sisted BY . few western Republican
members The Law Was vetoed bv
Fraudulent President Hayes. and psssed
over hi. veto
Can any ono say that since The 70.
monetizstion Of The standard silver dol
lar Il Was not passed 81 par with the
gold dollar for any and Ell purpose?
Will any one deny that the stamp OF
the United States guarantees the honesty
Of the standard silver dollar? Where i

Republicans, endorsing legislation for
monied maguatee. a. agsinst the very
life Of the medium and poor classes?

The present silver coinsgs system
would have been . perfect one. mad not
the gold-bug amendment OF limitation
been attached. BY which they can con-
tract the coinage by deposiiing the same
oliver bullion over and over again
monthly. 10 bring up the monthly limi
tstion.
Free coinage. a. understood BY true
Democrats, means unlimited coinage b.
the United States government. the peo-
pie. being the government. would enjoy
ali the pro0ts 10 be gained b. coinage.
and any profit made on the price OF sill
yer bullion.
II is true that there might be some
Juggling OF wealthy Democratic men,
bers with extreme Republican silver
members. whereby only the wealthy and
silver states are benefited. For favors
10 lending hand in defeating the odious
Force bill some even might be under
promise and obligation. Let this be q
i may, they have served Our country
faithfully, aud life honor IL due them
for the defeat OF this one bill.
There is also another interest ia the
silver market Silver IL largely used in
the manufactures and arts, and used by
the wealthy in place Of tin. The cheaper
they can mske silver bullion the cheaper
their silver ware; they have enoor b
goin 'or their money purposes. Not sol
with the power classes and the mssses.
who have TO use tin for dishes and silver
for money. Gold-bugs well know that
unlimited coinage BY the government
would enhance the value OF bullion, and
cause their magnificent silver tabIeWareI
and ornaments to cost them more.

AeoPuUiscouo uc0O not % alarmed over |
democratic silver legislation, or the |
honesty o. the silver dollar. a. they have |
the benefits OF the dollar IN their every |
dav trafic and proof Of its honesty. On
me contrary they should be alarmed ~
their own vicious legislation and fear
the reproduction Of another trade dollar.
There was not single individual In tbst \
Republican Convention. nor 10 there q
msn Of any party In Dubois county - but
would be benefited by placing the CON-
age Of silver on the came basis a. gold. /
and not one that 10 not only willing, but
anxious. 10 own every silver dole. he
csn honestly acquire 10 bis profe ssion or
business, and when they ere paid 10
lnen the dollars ere not thought OF as
dishonest" either. and each one who
endorsed that resolution in that Conven-
Ion, no doubt, on reflection. now feels
ashamed that be permitted himself to Be
ed by The nose against bis own plain
interest by some gold-bnas
COMMON SENSE.
