question. The gold gods with ar
rogant disdain of the common peo-
pie will demand that we fall down
and worship the golden calf. The
uen who believe in fat money, in
paper money only, will cry out
"Great is Diana of the Greenback-
ers." Between these extremes the
bimetallists must come.
The American system, the sys-
tenn established by our fathers, the
system abolished by stealth, must
be restored. The greatest wrong
ever perpetrated upon the people
of a great nation must be righted,
for the abolition of the free coin
age of silver in 1878 reduced values
greater in extent that the value of
all the slaves of the South and be-
gan a seryitude for all industries
more difficult to break than it was
to abolish American slavery.
If the gold standard is to be es-
tablished, 1t will be- done at an ex-
pense equal to one-half of all the
property in this country. But this
is not all; the poor will be poorer,
the rich richer, and the gold barons
like the feudal lords of England,
will become the owners of the land
and the masses of the people their
vassals. Silver and gold are the
precicus metals. Thieves may
break through and rob but moths
do not corrupt them and time
proves their fitness as money met
ais.
Did you sign petition in 1873
for the demonetization of silver I?
Do you kne W. of anyoue who did
sign such petition ?. Not a man
living asked congress to re-
peal that law, and now it has taken
the work of twenty years to undo
the wrong, and it is not done yet.
The wrath of injured humanity is
crying out against the iniquity,
and the voice of the people, like
the voice of God, will be heard.

any sooner because you have no
silver? It is preposterous. :.
!. Suppose'you have to pay a thous-
and dollarsin England and a.thous-
and dollars at home and silver and
gold are cdrrent m6ney both alike
under our own laws and both used
in the channels OF busiaess at home
without. discrimination. -
Suppose that half our primary
money is gold and half silver,
which would be very nearly the
case at all times under free coin
age, don't you think it would be
easier to pay both these debts than
it would If the silver were demone-
tized and gold only could be used I?
Does it make money easier to have
but half as much in use as usual?
The present times are giving a
very decidefanswer to these ques-
tions. Every nation must estab-
lish itsown monetary system and
coin Its own money. The laws OF
trade regulate the amount Of money
that goes out Of the country.
/ We are q nation covering vast
areas, where people are sparsely
settled, and yet these people must
haye money, and silver money or
paper the equal ofcoin meets their
wants. The two coins, silver and
gold, treated alike under the law,
will meet the wants of all home
and foreign trade. Give w more
money and free coinage under fair
ratio and we will take the chances
OF their remaining equal and at
home. Stop wearing foreign silks

CONSISTENCY ON SILVER.

Yesterdays Leader said: "The
silver men know as we'll as anyone
else that a cheaper money will
drive out dearer, and that gold
and silver cannot circulate side by
side if coined at other than the
market ratio"
Bimetallists neither ask nor ex-
pect that the enactment of a law
by which silver is coined and
treated as money alike with gold
will give us a cheap and a dear
money. They believe that the
free coinage and use without dis
elimination against it by the gov.
ernment will make a silver dollar
just as good as gold dollar. 1t is
the law and. the law only that
makes definite amount of, gold a
dollar, and it will be law and only
law that can;'make a definite a.
mount of silver dollar. .Itfollows
then that nothing but the law can
establish the coinage ratio. That
ratio once fixed, with free coinage
and full legal tender for silver
money, the coinage value and the
commercial value become one and
the same. Then man who has a
bar of silver or gold can take it to
the mint and get his coin or a cer-
tificate representing it's value.
If England wants silver for her
India trade she must pay for it at
coinage value, for the owner would
not part with it for less than he
could get for it by having it coined.
| Under free coinage the govern
ment never buys silver or gold.
The owners of the bullion virtually
provide the coin for the nation,
and the government coins it; that
is all the expense the government
has. The money goes into the
channels Of business where it is
needed and is never stored by the
government save as security for
its bills issued.
It is use that makes value. Sup.
pose all the world should decide
not to coin gold, where do you
think the price of thesmetal would
go? 1t is the use of both metals
as money metals that preserve
their value. When silver was
demonetized then gold had to dc
its monetary work-hence" " the
greater use and greater demand
enhanced it's value. Right there
began the fall in prices, because
J all property has had to be measur.

Indeed it was not honest to legis

) rich.
: The Leader suggests that We
/. keep in use the silver now coined
Why should we keep it If it is. not
, good money? If any one of the
coined dollars is not the equal of q
t gold dollar, where is your consist

!, honest dollar? Is any one of these
, dollars now coined any more 9
, dollar than it would be II it had
been struck at the mint under

: There never was greater fal
