THE Fort Worth Gazette tersely
saws: 'Statisticians tell us that 02
per cent of the business olthe country
is based on credit and s per cent on
cash. With this fact to start with it
does not require statistician TO tell
us that under such circumstances
panic can be had any moment those
who control the per cent OF cash
choose to call for it, and as panic al
ways increases the proportionate
value of their property from 90 to 100
per cent it is natural that they should
want one frequently" And when
biz per cent of this cash is of de
preciated. currency, like silver, it can
easily be- seen bow much the risk to
business stability is increased. We
must have every dollar of the ca-h OF
this country like Caesars wife, "above

JUDGE REAGAN AND SIL YER.

As the silver question is now the
one of all others that is holding the
attention of our nation, we reproduce
this morning a lengthy and able letter
from Judge John H. Reagan on the
subject, printed in Saturdays Fort
Worth Gazette. The judge is an earn
est advocate of free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and presents his side
OF the argument very forcibly. His
closing sentence, however, wherein he
makes it provisional as to the repeal
of the Sherman law hardly seems to
be in keeping with the expression of
the national Democratic platform,
which says: ave denounce the Re-
publican legislation known as the
Sherman act Of 1890 as a cowardly
makeshift, fraught with possibilities
of danger in the future, which should
make all of it's supporters as well as its
author anxious for its speedy repeal. /"
1t is to repeal this law that
congress in the first instance is
now called together in extraordinary
session. When it has done this, it
will be time to put on foot further re-
medal legislation.
Though Judge Reagan is states
man who through long and honored
career has won of the Democratic
party many laurels, unfortunately he
does not stand today with those whom
the national party has put in power.
He is credited with the authorship of
the Hogg platform or at least that
part of it on silver which by no means
jingles with the ring in the national
Democratic platform. If that great
instrument put forth at Chicago meant
anything, it meant that it should be
taken as the rule and guide of the
party, at least for the next
four years. 1t is that in
strumert that Messrs. Cleveland
and Carlisle will now attempt to put
into effect. That they will be abetted
by the assistance of both branches of
congress, which are Democratic, We
can not but believe. If loca 8 f-n-
terest or perverted economic views
shall make abortive the effort to en-
force the Democratic pledges and
promises, then while the nation will
be the sufferer the party can not bat
be placed in the attitude OF sailing
under false pretenses and of making
pledges it had no idea of performing.

GOOD IN DISGUISE.

1t is fearfully hot and dry through
out the country and the farmers are
growing very uneasy about their
crops. They fear both coin and cot
ton will be cut short. We have time
today and let us pause to see Ii this
would be such great calamity If it
should happen. The farmer raises
corn and cotton for the net profit there
is in them. With him it is not u
question of who shall have the prize
big crop, but how shall 1 handle my
farm products so as to make the most
out of them? Now it is matter of
fact that with cotton, the great Texas
product, production has been greatly
over done, The markets of the world
have been glutted with cotton, there
has every year been an accommodating
surplus and prices have necessarily
gone down. To avoid Oh over crop
this year an attempt was made to
have cotton convention during the
session of our legislature last spring.
1t was only partly attended and we
honestly believe did more harm than
good, resulting In most of the dele
gates listening to what was going on
and then determining not to decrease
their acreage, but on the contrary to
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-07-13

silver has become greater than
that of gold. And Austria
Hungary actually did demone-
tie gold. This shows beyond doubt
that is the amount of legal tender
money and not the kind of it which,
the bondholders and bankers are OPP
posed to. And if the United States
should adopt the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 of
silver to one of gold, l do not doubt
that the bullion of the two
metals will be at par with
each ether, as the money made
from them now are. There is a class
of men who talk of the 6S cent silver
dollar, Where are such dollars to be
found? Not in this continent, nor in
Europe, nor in Asia. The silver dollar
here, as we see daily, buys as much as
the gold dollar. And the same is the
case everywhere. 1t is the bullion
silver, and not the money silver, which
has been degraded by hostile legisla-
ton and by hostile administration.
And friendly legislation would soon re-
store it to its old value.
Fifteenth 1t is charged that
the depreciation of the price
of silver bullion has driven
large amounts of gold out OF the COUP
try recently. That is not true. Inc
Sherman law of 1890 makes the silver
certificates redeemable in either gold
or silver coin. A prominent part or
the great conspiracy against silver
and against the people has been
played by the executive department
of our government. And in TINS the
Democratic administration followed
| H., Of h..
lican predecessor. The money sharks
took advantage of the law by buying
up silver certificates by the wholesale
at possible discount, and going to
tho United States treasury and de-
handing gold for them. These GER
tificates were by law payable either in
gold or silver dollars. If, when this
new feature of the great conspiracy
was developed, the secretary of the
treasury had redeemed the silver GER
tifcates in silver coin, as the law au-
thorized him to do, he would
at once have checked and
prevented the large export of gold
which has lately taken place; and no
injustice would have been done to any
one. So that the executive depart
ment of the government is responsible
for the large export OF gold and not the
depreciation of silver.
II the substance of the foregoing
propositions could be carried out it
would checkmate the bold and auGa-
cious efforts now being made by Great
Britain, aided by the folly of our own
government, to control the financial
policy of the United States in such
way as to enrich her people by i'm
poverishing ours.
The foregoing propositions are sub
mittei without elaboration, to show
that congress ought to provide for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver the
same as of gold, and to show that
whatever the faults of the Sherman
law may be it ought not to be repeal
ed without in the same law providing
. for free silver coinage.

increase it in the hope that sombody
else would decrease and they would
get the benefit.
But now comes along the great
leyeler. the he "who must be Obeyed",
a dry season, and whips the
cotton man into line, whether he Will
or no. The result will be smaller
crop and a better net profit to the
farmer; for the farmer must not forget
to calculate the difference in time and
cost in saving a large cheap crop, and
a smaller, though dearer, crop Such
a calculation figures up we'll on the
farmers credit side of the ledger.
And there may be another view OF
this question. Outside the realm OF
crops the nation is facing financial
situation of gravest import. What
effect will the called session OF con-
gress have on the money medium oy
which crops are valued? According
to Congressman Joseph Abbott's IDEA,
to repeal the Sherman act without
doing something else for silver
would be to reduce cotton TO
cents a pound. What would
the farmer then do with his big crop
that cost him cents pound to raise?
While the financial condition of the
world remains as il is and the cotton
market is glutted by over production,
we believe this drought may well be
looked on as a blessing in disguise; as
q visitation of providence saving the
over anxious and too avaricious FAR
mer from a self inflicted injury. We
may be wrong about it, but this Is an
honest conviction coming from
heart bubbling over with love for the
fa1mer. He has been reasoned With
and plead with to reduce his cotton
acreage and todiversify his crops, and
he would not. Can it be that
this year of 1898, which we ar
IDENTIFY hope will shed q bright
pathway of light across our nations
finances, in whose rays our statesmen
shall read solution Of the money
problem that has SO long vexed the
world, shall also mark the time
wherein our farmers learned that
great lesson of agricultural economy,
in the practice of which alone lies the
working out of the fullest develop
ment OF the agricultural resources of
Texas? If so, then we cannot regret
the present drouth, grlevous though
it now appears, but which in reality
only represents small strip of the
desert before we reach an oasis of con-
slant fertility and rejoicing.

The st. Louis Republic Fays: "'The
further the Demo ;ratic party gets
away from the Chicago platform,
says an esteemed contemporary, 'the
better its chances will be of avoiding
the breakers which lie before it, Last
year it was the Minneapolis platform
which went upon the breakers, ,and it
is there yet, the Republican party
with it," And now Democracy must
stick to the Chicago platform, and es'
pecially that part of it that pledges
honest money. 1t promises a repeal
of the Sherman law, and parity be-
tween gold and silver. This promise
the next congress must carry out in
perfect good faith.

THE CONDEMNED CHocTAws
The Jones Faction Object to the Respite and
Demand their Execution.


SOUTH MCALEsTER, 1. T., July S.
AS the facts concerning the respite
granted The Wilburton murderers
gradually leak out, the more evident
it is that the situation is assuming
alarming proportions. The opinion is
general among the leading Choctaws
that in compelling Governor Jones to
grant respite the United States gov
eminent has usurped the power vest
ed in the constitution and laws of the
Choctaw nation. What will be his
course when the new date for execu-
tion arrives cannot be toreto'd as there
is no law or precedent TO go by. 1t is
claimed that the respite is limited
only to next Friday, when If there is
no other interference, the respited
prisoners will be executed with five
other condemne ed men who have never
been respited.

IT is absolutely disgusting to read
about the way the governor of South
Carolina is constantly absent from the
executive Office .and can be found
only in that states big whisky shop,
experimenting the bottling of whisky
for sale. That Southern state of all
others should thus usurp the rights OF
free citizenship seems especially
monstrous in the light of the long
history of the South for state and in
dividual rights.

The death of Bishop Gregg will not
come as surprise to our citizens,
among whom he has lived for so many
years an invalid. He has done agreat
deal of service for the state and for
the religious denomination in which
he held so high a place. He has
rounded out at good old age life
we'll and protitably spent. Peace to
his ashes!
