MARIETTA GA. THURSDAY MORNING. SEPT = 1898

and the fact that all the nations of the
world were tending toward the gold
standard what wonder rs it that silver
declined. Will the action of the United
States alone restoring silver to free and
unlimited coinage place it on a par with
gold when all Europe has the gold stand
ard with the single exception of France.
which is virtually so by reason of having
stopped,the coinage of silver Another
fact want to state is that if Congress
should stop all further coinage of silver
1T does not destroy silver as the money
of the country. The act of 1873 demone-
tizing silver did not destroy silver as the
money OF the country. 1t only limited
its uses. Everybody knows that silver
has circulated ever since that act as
money.
The popular error is that Congress is
trying to wipe out all the silver in the
country so that it will not exist to serve
as a medium of exchange. That idea is
false. We have today per capita of
S24.O2 for every man, woman and child
in this broad land. The money is here
beyond all doubt to serve our purposes
in commerce and no matter what Con
gress does, it will still stay here as the
money of the people. 1t became neces-
sary to repeal the Sherman act because
oy reason of it the gold by which we
transact our business with foreign ma
lions was being run out of the country
and a cheaper currency was taking it's
place. Repeal the Sherman act without
more and our money remains practically
as 1t has been since 1873. What reason
is there for alarm and discomfort in thatp
But you say that if there is money in
the country you can't get it and why are
the times so thard My answer is that
this continued agitation and these wild
threats of war if Congress does not do
something coupled with the results of
the Sherman bill in running gold out of
the country frightened people and thew
oook their money out of banks and out
OF circulation. When people tried to
borrow of the banks the money was not
there or they were afraid to loan it. AS
business men could not borrow it thew
could not to the extent ofetheir failures
do business, men were 1hrown out OF
employment and hard times were upon
us. Quit making wild threats, show
that you have confidence in Congress
and the country, be content with honest
laws and an honest payment of ever,
dollar you owe with dollar of eoua
Valne to that which you borrowed. ant
money will come out of it's many hidins
places and prosperity will return. plent,
will reign and the world will move aione
as smoothly as ever. There are evils to
correct. The pension laws need revising
an income tax should be enacted and
then money will cease to flow from the
South to the North and thus drain us.
! but Congress can be trusted to enact
wise laws on silver, or we can at least
peacefully give them a chance before
eternally condemning them. W. SC.
