ONE BY ONE.

One by one the free silverites in con-
gress are topping over for uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman law. SEN
ator Voorhees, of Indiana introduced a
bill for the unconditional repeal of the
silver purchase law, with lot of rodo-
montade attached thereto as tail to
the kite declaring in favor of bimetall-
ism, but no enactment of law to take
the place of the law of July IA. 1890.
Vest of Missouri presented a bill for
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 20 to 1. This is worse than the
Sherman law as it increases the pur-
chasing power % per cent. Congress
man Catchings of Mississippi. formerly
counted as bimetallist has Topped
clear over to the gold bug side of the
question.
So it goes! The power of patronage
and money. intimidation and influence
possessed by powerful and persistent
lobbyists is brought to bear to defeat
the will of the people.
John G. Carlisle. the gold bug seere-
tary of the treasury, was formerly a
pronounced bimetallist. Here is what
he once said on the subject: "Accord-
ing to my view of the subject. the con-
spiracy which seems to have been
formed here and in Europe to destroy,
by legislation and otherwise, from
three-fourtbs to one-half of the metallic
money money of the world. is the most
gigantic crime of this or any other
age"
Harrison was elected on free silver
platform, Cleveland like wise, and both
of the old party platforms last fall de-
clared for bimetallism. 1t is evident
that neither old party would give us
relief. We must look to the new one.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1893-08-25

The gold bug argument for the de-
monetization of silver is that it has
been produced in such immense guam
titles of late years that it has become
n base metal In other words the old
chestnut, "overproduetion. Now the
overproduction theory will not bear
the strain of close inspection. Statis-
ties of the worlds production for the
last 42 years of both gold and silver is
as follows: Gold produced since 1851,
$4,74l,271,000; silver produced since
1851 S., 1863, 743, zoo. This shows that
in the worlds product in the last AZ
years. of both precious metals, gold has
exceeded silver by $1,371. 527, 800 or
about 40 per cent. From the years
1851 to 1872 the worlds product of
gold exceeded the silver product by
151 per cent. This great gold pro-
duction did not derange the coinage
ratio but made prosperity everywhere.
The gold finds in California and Aus
tralia were God send TO the entire
world. Silver would, if not hindered,
produce the the same effect.
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1893-08-25

The proposition to change the ratio
from 16 to / to 20 to 1, is an infamous
proposition. 1t never should be enter
tanned for one moment by honest men.
IL means contraction of the currency
100000 900. There is about $780,
100000 silver currency in circulation
and the ratio of 20 to 1 would shrink
this volume of money in the same
proportion, or about 1920, 100000. 1t
would add 20 per cent to the burdens
of all debtors and enrich the holdings
Of all creditors to the same amount.

CHEAPER TO FORErGNERs

CHEAPER TO FOREIGNERS.
A few weeks ago we published an
article written by one of Goodland's
citizens under the nom de plume of
"Don Quigly." about the price of
American farm implements and ma
chinery at home and abroad. The ar
ticle in question showed that they were
sold at about one-half the price in other
countries that they are sold for at
home
We publish the following from the
pen of W. D. Kelly, the United States
surveyor for the route of an intercon-
tinental railway The article appears
in the Cosmopolitan of August and
bears out the statements of Quigly:
80 Geographically situated
and connected as the three Americas
are. the disadvantage we are at in trade
with one another does not seem to be
a natural one. Why, of total of nine
hundred millions of dollars worth of
trade in all the Spanish American
countries, does the United States get
but one-ffth? Great Britain alone ex-
ports to our own neighboring republics
more than twice the value in manu-
featured goods that we do. In 1889
when the delegates came to attend the
PanAmeriean congress held at Wash
ington, they came by way of Europe.
crossing the ocean twice.
Railroad and steamship lines stimu-
late trade when people are DESTROYS of
trading with one another. If that de-
sire does not exist, then no amount of
communication between them or even
the locking of them in the same room
can make them trade. AS in swapping
jack-knives.' it takes two people to
make bargain.
"Our engineer corps had purchased
field instruments of a leading firm in
New York city at a price 20 per cent
greater than we could have bought the
same instruments, of the same firm,
had we ordered them from South
America. An equipment of rifles and
side arms, even with discount allow
us in New York city, would not bring
rs much after we had carried them to
South America. The same thing APP
plies to sewing machines and calicoes
especially, and almost all manufac-
tured articles in general. Naturally a
manufacturer who can sell his goods
at home for 20 per cent more than he
can elsewhere does not care to cater
to other trade, even though he may
make fair profit on outside trades;
he does not care to make special
grades of his goods or to take special
care or expense in the packing OF ship
ping of them. for the mere sake of in
Producing his wares and entering into
competition with others. In return
also, neither does the foreign buyer
care to buy even at the same prices
when he can be better suited else
to the writer's ears frequently while in
conversation with South American
merchants.
THE fault would seem to be with
our own manufacturers, who, getting
more for their goods at home than else
where, don't care for the South Ameri-
can trade. ~

BARBOUR FOR sILYER.

Mr.. Balfour, Member of the British
Parliament. delivered a speech in Lon
don ON the coinage question and took
strong ground for the double standard.
He holds that double standard is
more safe. Huctuates less. and is every
way to be preferred to the single gold
standard. He points out the peril to
England in case other nations adopt
the gold standard. Then there would
be an international scramble for gold
and in case of war England might find
herself crippled and at the mercy of
other powers. This from the leading
Statesman Of singie-standard Great
Britain should set the peeoIe thinking.

years from the beginning of the late
