QUESTIONS READILY ANSWERED.


The Examiner propunds three questions
on the silver problem-6rst. us our
Government in . position to increase the
demand for silver to such an extent as
to raise the price from the present price
OF 20 cents an ounce to 81 %. which
must be attained in order 10 establish .
parity with gold At the rate Of l6 to IL"
To this we most emphatically answer
yes. As to facts to prove this assertion
we need only cite the value Of silver per
ounce Of the time Of it's demonstration
by the United States In 1873 when silver
was ct . premium Of 8 per cent above
that rate. As further proof we may
cite the fact that France alone since that
time. at a rate Of Isl to one. has main
tanned the full legal tender qualification
of her silver coin. II France alone and
unaided can prevent her silver coin from
degradation, shall the United States. .
country that is independent Of all Eu-
rope both In national wealth and re-
sources and depending on nothing what
ever to be imported from other coun-
tries, declare its disgrace and insigni6-
canoe by admitting its inability to do
what France alone and single handed has
done for twenty yesrsr
The second question, '1f our Govern
ment cannot do that alone, can any
combination Of governments do it. and
If so, how many must join in the COM
bination to make il effective? p This
question is already answered by
ing the frst-no combination whatever
Is needed.
Third, "If il is beyond the power OF
any or all governments to create such q
demand for silver as to bring IL up to
81 20 per ounce, what new ratio can be
effectively established and maintained 2
OF ell silly questions asked. this
one takes the cake. What does
the Examiner really mean by all the
governments Does il mean nominal
authorities. such as the Kaiser. the
Queen, numbers Of insignificant Kings,
Dukes and lesser irres possibilities, or
does il mean the Government in fact
the Rothschilds and their satellites in
Europe! In referring to this Govern.
ment, does it refer to the people misrep'
resented by Cleveland and his admins
tration or to the agents OF the Roths-
childs, the Seligmans, Morgans, Worm
sers and others! If it refers to these
de faoto governments. does any one for
one moment doubt that If the money
lenders Of all the countries agreed on
establishing . ratio Of Is to !, or 20 to
l, or 10 to l il could not be established
In less time than il would take to COM
nit such . decree to parchment by
merely making the announcement
Does IL really believe that these
KAisers, Queens and lesser figure
heads have anything to say in this
matter! Any Of these latter or oil

20 to /, or for that matter any ratio
whatever except by consent Of the
former. The people Of the United
States, although drifting that way for
. number Of years, have not quite
reached the rock Of destruction to-
wards which recreant administrations
have been steering the ship Of state at
the behest Of the money powers. The
people, though misrepresented. are
still sovereign, and unless their de-
mands are needed. sooner or later the
days Of the French revolution will be
repeated and the illgotten wealth Of the
Shylocks will be swept from their grasp
and return to the hands Of those whose
toll has created 10 and who have by
villainy and betrayal been Invested Of
It's possession.
