The Gold Conspiracy.

The telegraph dispatches convey the
intelligence the India council has or
dered the minis of India to be closed
to the free coinage of silver, and some
very wise ''financiers'' are impressed
with the belief that this act will ma
terially further lower the price of sill
yer. 1t is singular that they should
acknowledge that fact. 1t has been
all along asserted by the bimetalists
that such was the natural effect of de-
monetizing silver and that its remone-
tization. full and free, would raise the
price at once to parity with gold. But
the ''tinanciers'' denied it. Not be-
cause they believed what they said,
but because they were opposed to sill
yer. In this respect silver is not diff
ferent from gold. If gold were de-
monetized and the entire stock thrown
upon the market as commodity its
price would Immediately decline to a
very low figure and gold jewelry
would be so cheap that every body
could indulge in liberal personal adj
ornment. What, then, maintains
gold at the money value of one humid
red cents on the dollar? Nothing but

a dollar.
IF it be true that India has stopped
the coinage of silver and attempts to
establish a gold standard. and if the
United States should repeal the Sher-
man act uncOnditionally, what would
be the effect? First. it would drive
the price of every commodity of mer-
chandise down to the lowest possible
price. OF, more properly speaking, it
would inchance the purchasing power
of geld to such degree that it wOuld
take double the number of bushels of
wheat to buy. dollar in gold, and
consequently the farmer would have
to raise twice as much wheat and corn
and cattle, costing him twice as
much labor ard twice as much tillable
acres to pay a $4,000 debt than be-
fore this infamy were prepetrated.
The hardship entailei upon the pro-
ducing classes would be unbearable.

would of necessity scramble for gold,
because it would be a wOodchUck
case-they would have to have it.
But they would soon find out that they
could not get it. Then what?

BLAINE advised the coinage of an
international silver dollar. The trade
dollar was coined ostensibly for use IN
trade with China, hut proved to be a
swindling scheme to cheat Americans.
The money of general commerce in
Asia, Africa, South America and some
parts of Europe is silver. Three-ffths
of the world use silver for money. and
the United States by taking stand on
the use of silver without let or hind

THREE hundred and Twelve mines in
Colorado were shut down this week,
throwing out of employment 100000
men. on account of the fall in the
price Of silver caused by the goldbug
conspiracy to demonetize silver, which
produced the present financial panic
in this country and caused the issuance
of the order to stop the coinage of sill
yer in India. The results will be far
reaching in their disastrous effects in
the west, and will injure the farmers
OF Kansas as well as the miners of
Colorado. If the conspiracy succeeds,
and this country adopts the single
standard, debts will be increased and
prices lowered. In other words, the
creditor class will. by this legislation,
get at least 25 per cent more from
their debtors than they are entitled
to.-Kinsley Graphic.

The decentralization of silver in 1873
has been denounced by even Republi-
can speakers as conspiracy and a
crime For 20 long years the peo-
pie have pleaded for the remedy of
this wrong, but have pleaded in vain.
Even now congress is called in extra
session for the purpose of further
rivoting the chains of oppression upon
the people by the repeal OF the Sher-
man law. How long will the American
people stand this robberyP Children are
crying for bread. fathers witnessing
their grief helpless to relieve. because
of this legalized robbery. Is the re-
public safe while this condition of
things continues? How far off is the
next military upheval.

The New York chamber of COM
merce, at meeting July 6, passed
resolutions demanding the repeal of
the Sherman law. William st. John,
A. Foster Higgins and j. B. Colgate,
all New York bankers, voted against
the resolutions. 1t shows that the
best and most conscientious business
nlen are convinced that there is some
thing wrong. The shylocks. robbers
and pirates are the ones who are de-
manding the repeal of the Sherman
law. The issue of $23, 100000 clear
ing house certificates shows that the
difficulty is lack of confidence not
only, but a lack of money.
