A cause is a weak one that needs the sup

varites can show that it is TO the interest
Of the people of this country that there
shall be free coinage Of silver dollar
that contains only sixty cents worth Of
silver they will have plenty of followers,
but if they cannot do that
frothy assertions and threats will
that Senator Teller made day or two
ago, that the closing of the minis of India
to the free coinage Of silver is part Of a
conspiracy entered into between Presi-
dent Cleveland, Mr.. Carlisle. Mr. Glad
stone and those people in different parts
of the world who favor gold standard,
is in keeping with the reckless talk of
Gov. Waite. Does Senator Teller really
believe what he says about a conspiracy
If he does he has some reasons for doing
so Why does he not give his reasons2 A
man in his position cannot afford to make
assertions ne cannot support with facts.
The silverites are going to make des-
perate fight for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of l6 to l, and they are going
to be defeated. The common sense of
the country will not sustain them. Ever
since the price of silver began to fall, the
silver mine owners and those who are de-
pendent upon the silver industry have been
trying to compel the government by legis-
lation to sustain the market for the met
al, and they have met with much success.
The government has done all it can to
keep up the price of silver. Any further
efforts in that direction are sure to result
in financial disaster. The troubles from
which the country is now suffering are
due to the enormous purchases of silver
by the government and the issuing of sill
yer certificates for it, The fear that the
government will not be able to redeem
these certificates in gold is so
wide spread that credit is injured, and
money for legitimate business operations
cannot be obtained. Yet, in the
face of this result of the effort to keep up
the price of silver, the silver mine owners
and their sympathizers have the hardi-
hood to demand that the minis of the
country shall be opened for the free
coinage of silver dollars that are worth
ouly60 cents and that the people shall be
required to take these dollars at their
face value.
Their demand will be refused The
people will never consent to have a de-
based currency. They would like to see
the silver mine owners prosper, but they
do not intend that the interests of the
whole country shall be jeopardized in or
der to assist the silver producers.
