are their supporters in Wall street
and Chicago that they dare to assume
to drive into poverty and exile half a
million of American people? There is
no use of crying peace when there is
no peace. The most dangerous tyr
rany is that enforced under the forms
of law. Our weapons are arguments
and ballots-tree ballots and fair
counts. If the money power shall at
tempt to sustain its usurpation OF our
rights by strong hands. as in other
lands. we will meet that issue if it is
forced upon us, for it is better, infini-
tely better rather than that our liber-

half what they were before this infam-
Gus act, and now we have the awful
panic of 1893 coming upon the heels of
an attempt to repeal the last vestige
of law favorable to silver.
Sixth-All industries are interde-
pendent, and when one suffers all suf-
fer. In Colorado the silver mines have
shut down. That hurts the railways
of the west, the manufacturers of the
west, the farmer. the merchant, and
every other industry in our complex
commonwealth of enterprise and hon
est toll.
Seventh-Now if all are hurt by sill
ver's wound all would be benefited
and rejoice in the healing of that
wound. 1.-The butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker. would all jump out
of the rotten potater' of our present
financial distress, and the wheels of
happy industry would hum again and
prosperity would smile on all our
broad land.
Eighth-ImmedIately upon the adj
vance of the price of silver and the
coming of prosperity to It's mining in
terests, every branch of industry would
be proportionately stimulated and
would be proportionately prosperous.
There is not one single industry in our
broad land but what would be benefit
ted materially by the prosperity of
mining industry.
Ninth-55 per cent of all gold pro
duets in this country is taken out of
the same rock, and out of the same
mines as the silver product. Stimulate
silver production and you increase
gold production in equal proportion as
they are found combined in the same
rock
Tenth-The people who say that
free coinage of silver would benefit
only the mine owner show their ignor-
ance of the subject. Such statement
is false, it never was true, it never can
be true, it never will be true, and the
man who makes the statement, if he
will study the subject with any care,
will see it is not true.
DISQUALIFICATION, when asked
who was benefactor of mankind,
said: The man who causes two
blades of grass to grow where only
one has grown before" Apply this to
the production of the precious metals,
or the precious fruits of the earth.
Twelfth-The hater and the hurter
of mankind is he who would limit pro-
ductive industry, shackle labor blind
fold enterprise, paralyze thrift, starve
the honest toiler and reduce his inno-
cent little ones to want, while husband
wife and weep at the distress they are
powerless to alleviate.

IN 1892 the production of silver was
5S,OOO,O 900 ounces, of which the gov
eminent brought 54,129,727 ounces,
putting into circulation therefor $47,-
384, 291 in treasury notes. Free COM
age of the American product would
have put into circulation $19,595 6O9
more money, after deducting silver
used in the arts. This is $38, 974,9 27
less than the gold lost by export dur
ing the year.

THAT Comptroller Eckels is an am
bilious young man has become appar-
ent to the most careless observer, but
it astonished many to be told that his
ambition scared as high as the treas
ury portfolio, but that is what the poll
ticians around Washington are saying
Just now Mr.. Eckels is known to have
very strong personal influence with
President Cleveland and Secretary
Lamont, and he is said to be using it
for all he knows how to bring about
the appointment of Secretary Carlisle

Let's Be Independent of Rothschild

Let's Be Independent of ROthschiId.
Rev. Myron Reed. pastor of the
first Congregational church of Denver,
which is the largest congregation in
the city, said in sermon:
We here in the west are pretty busy
people. We are at work developing IA
state. Certain people in the east are
busy making our debts double by halv-
ing our money. There is family
over the sea, creditors of the world.
who doubtless would like to.be paid in
diamonds. We are citizens of the free
and independent United States. Is
there any necessity that we consult a
body over the sea as to what our
money shall be? Anything with the
stamp of the United States on it is
moneY-gold, silver, copper, nickel,
paper. Back of these place 65.000,-
900 Americans and go ahead.
For myself do not see any neces-
sty for trading with England. Let US
trade with the people who like silver,
even if we have to trade with Ameri-
cans. We are children of grave peo-
pie. We trace our lineage back to
the men of the Is colonies, who, with
out army, without navy. without
money. without credit, declared their
independence of Great Britain and en-
tered ia the name of God on a seven
years war We seem to be FORGETTING
history and degenerating into lot of
peddlers.

EVER since the development and
settlement of the great west, it has
been pouring its wealth into the lap
of the east, receiving in return moth
ing but extortion and commercial dis
examination. This was the case be-
tween the colonies and Great Britain.
A rebellion followed securing Ameri-
can independence. The oppression
complained of in the declaration of in
dependence is light compared with
that which the goidbugs Of the east
ern states would infict upon the trans
Mississippi states.

The announcement is made that the
son of Cyrus Field, who wrecked the
fortune and life of his father and then
pleaded insanity, is not crazy. AS
nobody ever believed that he was, the
announcement will be received as re-
liable. He is nominally lunatic, but
goes and comes as he will. The gen
tleman seems to be in that happy con-
dition where neither the asylum nor
the jail has any terrors for him.

The trans-Mississippi states should
ship all their products for export
through the gulf ports. Every dollars

burden that is being heaped upon the
people of the west. st. James said:

The price of coal has taken another
upward jump. The announcement is
not accompanied by an explanation of
the advance, for explanations which
dc not justify are very unsatisfactory
to all parties concerned. The combine
charges more for coal simply because
it can. 1t reverses the usual law of
supply and demand, and when the
smallest supply of coal is needed
seeks some compensation for reduced
sales by charging higher rate for
what is sold

That this cry is positively silly will

to the most causal reader of American
history.
Second-Both gold and silver have
been used by mankind as money met

by all the nations of earth.

The Change of RATIO.

There will be a strenuous attempt to
change the ratio between gold and sill
yer if the free silver men develop suf-
ficient strength to pass a free coinage
bill. We are strongly opposed to the
change of ratio and believe such Il
change made upon the present rela-
tons of the two metals, as bullion,
would crystaize the wrongs perpetra-
ted upon the American people for the
last 20 years.
In Abraham's day silver was "cur-
rent money with the merchant" With
it he purchased the cave of Macpelah.
where he buried Sarah.
In both Greece and Rome silver was
coined long before gold was. Silver.
was coined in Greece so long ago that
the exact date is lost in the obscurity
of the ages, but gold was first coined
in that country in the time of Phillip
of Macedon, $50 B. c.
In Rome silver was coined about
25O B. c. and gold half a century
ater-2OO B. c. Silver was standard
money and legal tender in Great Bri-
tain until 1916. just at the close of the
Napolionic wars.
The ratio in ancient Greece 800 B.
G. was Is to l. The Roman emperors
made it IA to l. Spain in 1916 made
it 49, to 1. Portugal in 688 made it
16 to l. Spain in 1875 made it 49, to
l and France adopted this ratio and
has maintained it ever since. The
ratio in India is 15 to l, in Europe 153
to 1, and in the United States Is to 1.
The first law relating to coinage
under the constitution was the act of
April 2, 1892, under which the Iatio
was 10 to /. The change was made in
1884 from 10 to 1. to 16 to /
We hear great deal about the
maintaining the parity of the precious
metals. You will find by II thorough
study of the subject since the dawn of
civilization that the parity has always
been established by law, changed by
law, and whenever and wherever
broken 1t has been broken. by law.
Now to attempt to establish a new
ratio at the present price of silver bull
lion, after being legislated against for
20 years and the price having been
forced down from $1.32 per ounce to
20 cents per ounce is to crystalize by
force of law the wrongs of nearly Il
quarter of Il century. This would
make the ratio about 80 to l, and re-
quire that the silver dollar be nearly
doubled in size. 1t would then be
worth as much in bullion as it is worth
as coin, and the depression of indus
try would become permanent and hard
times woukl be chronic, and England
could persue her financial piracies in
peace.
The ''intrinsic value" plea is n
fraud. Let us see: Copper costs 16
cents per pound, and out of it the gov
eminent makes 81 worth of pennies.
Nickel costs 20 cents per pound and
out of it the government makes S.
worth of nickels The real chemical.
commercial, mechanical ratio between
gold and silver is only about to l,
taken apart from their value as coin
metals.
We have Il ratio sufficiently large at
present, The silver dollar is big en-
ough, and the more of silver you put
into it the less it would be worth as
money, for the increasing of its weight
would increase its Inconvenience and
that is what goldbugs want.

CONGRESS convened on Monday
We will see what it will do. There
will be lively fight. We are often
asked what congress will do? We
think it will pass free coinage law,

thirds to pass it over the veto. We
must bide our time. 1t will come in
the end.
