The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16
SHOULD BE IMPRAOHED.

One of the first acts of the house of
representatives should be the inn
peachment of Secretary Carlisle. The
Sherman law, 30 called, requires the
secretary to purchase 4, 100000 ounces
of silver monthly at the market price,
and to issue IN exchange therefor
legal tender treasury notes. This
provision IS mandatory. 1t gives the
secretary no discretion in the matter.
He has no authority to suspend the
law, nor any right to evade its pro-
visions.
During the month Of Jnly he pur-
chased 2,140, 600 ounces, and declined
to make further purchases under the
pretense that 1.-The market price" was
not justified by the price in England.
In short, he declined to encourage,
by purchase at the market price, the
approximation of the fractional part
of a cent per ounce toward that parity
with gold, which ''it is the established
policy of the United States" to main
tain and to secure which the presi-
dent says the treasury notes issued in
exchange for silver bullion are re-
deemed in gold. To avoid encour-
agement of this approximation
toward parity the secretary arbitra-
rily violates the law. He should be
impeached, and if the president is
responsible for his policy or sustalns
him in it, he should share the same
fate. What IS to be the destiny OF
this republic if men elected to execu-
tive positions violate their official
oaths and refuse to execute the laws
How long will the people be expected
to submit to these outrages in silence

GOLD coming back from Europe by

stringency assembled at noon on the
7th inst, and promptly effected an
organization. Speaker Crisp, as had
been anticipated, was reelected. It
Is safe to say that no congress of the
United States ever assembled under
circumstances that made it possible
to render greater service to the
American people; and it is equally
safe to say that the result will be a
complete and absolute dissppoint-
ment. This congress IS composed Of
men who, with comparatively few ex-
ceptions, care absolutely nothing for
the welfare of the masses Of the peo-
pie, or for the fate of the republic.
They are here as the representatives
of money, and are perfectly cold and
selfish in all they seek to do. They
are strangers to every humane and
patriotic impulse, and seek only self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the advance
ment of the interests of their kind. 1t
is to such q congress that Mr.. Cleve-
land appeals for the final consumma-
ton of crime against his country
men, the magnitude of which may be
partially realized, but never fully
known.
In order to properly appreciate the
true character of the present contest,
it may be well to call to mind the cir
cumstances attending the passage Of
the first act for the characterization of
silver. It will be remembered that it
was passed when neither gold or sill
YER we're in circulation, and when the
entire circulating medium of the
country consisted of paper money.
This was an opportune time, mas
much as the effect of the act would
not be seen by the masses Of the peo-
pie until metallic money should
again come into use, which, at that
time, could be safely placed several
years hence. There had been no dis
cussion of the subject in the press or
upon the rostrum. No necessity was
felt anywhere, or by any class OF the
American people, for any change in
the character of the money of the
constitution. Why, then, was such a
change effected9 1t was done at the
instance of foreign bankers, and So
cured by the influence Of foreign
money. A British emisssry armed
with British gold made the conquest
of the American congress, and the
rights and liberties of the American
people were literally bsrtered for a
price. The evidence of this fact is
now complete, and it cannot be gain
said.
But aside from all external evidence
upon the subject, the manner in
which the infamous work was done
is itself sufficient evidence of the con-
spiracy. Had congress designed to
act openly, and to plainly avow the
object to be accomplished, a bill
would have been drawn specifically
providing for the demonetization OF

and Wome0 starving in a land of
plenty, congress is now convened in
special session, and for what? Simply
to repeal the Sherman law. Why, if
that law is responsible for one.hslf
the evils that are now attributed to
it, John Sherman and every other
man who supported the measure
should be hanged, and that without
benefit of the clergy.
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Look at the presidents message
upon this subject. 1t brands it's
author as the most hypocriticl dems-
gogue that ever disgraced the execu-
tive chair. His declaration that "our
unfortunate financial plight is not the
result of untoward events nor condi-
tions related to our natural resources"
will be readily conceded. That this
condition has come upon us in the
midst Of plenty of everything neces-
sary to secure prosperity and hsppi-
ness to our people, renders its occur
renee all the more inexcussble. It
will be observed that neither Mr..
Cleveland or any other person who is
clsmoring for the repeal of the Sher-
man law has ever undertaken to show
in what way it affects disastrously
the interests of the country. If it
we're true, as it is claimed, that the
law adds about $5O,OOO,OOO annually
to our circulation, certainly it could
not be advantageous in the present
stringency to cut off that source OF
supply. But this is not true. 1 can
not here enter into a discussion OF
this question in detail. / simply say
now that no attempt has ever been
made by any one to show the manner
in-which the Sherman law produces
the evil effects that are attributed to
| it. That it is a bad law I admit. I
have repeatedly pointed out its de-
fects and its fraudulent character;
but deny that it is or can be respon-
sible for the disasters that now atfllct
our country.
I can only point out one or two
features of the message that show its
hypocritlcal character. I call atten-
ton particularly to this passage:
This law provides that in payment for
4, 500 900 ounces Of silver bullion which the
secretary of the treasury is commanded to
purchase monthly, there shall be issued
treasury notes redeemable on demand in
gold or silver coin, at the discretion OF the
secretary of the treasury, and that said
notes may be re-issued. It is, however, de-
clared in the act to be "the established
policy of the United States to maintain the
two metals on parity with each other upon
the present legal ratio or such ratio as may
be provided by law" This declaration SO
controls the action of the secretary OF the
treasury as to prevent his exercising the dis
cretion nominally vested in him, il by such
action the parity between gold and silver
may be disturbed. Manifestly the refusal
by the secretary to pay these treasury notes
lin gold if demanded, would necessarily re-
suit in their discredit and depreciation aa
obligations payable only in silver, and
lwould destrov the parity between the two
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-16


be issued, and providing instead for
what was known as the trade dollar
Of 420 grains of standard silver. AS
silver was not in circulation at the
time, the people did not become
aware of what had really been done
until years afterward 1t is worthy
of remark also that this trade dollar,
which was provided for in the act in
order to cover the trick, was after
wards discredited by a subsequent
act of congress, and the people suf-
fered the loss of the resulting dis
count upon every dollar that was
issued. SO disgraceful was this act
of treachery to American interests
that members of congress who voted
for the measure have since many
times protested that they were not
aware that the act demonetlzed sill
YER. Gen. Grant, who signed the bill,
likewise pleaded ignorance upon the
same point. This was twenty years
ago; and it would seem that if this
plea of ignorance were to be allowed,
poor excuse though it be, twenty
years is long enough in which to
rectify the mistake.
It was not mistake. The plea of
ignorance is fraudulent. The discus
sion that took place in congress at
the time, as recorded in the official
journal of proceedings, shows that
members Of both houses knew what
they were doing. There ID altogether
too much talk by silver advocates of
this ignorance of senators and repre-
sentatives of the provisions of that
act, They 1vere not Ignorant, nor
was Gen. Grant ignorant of its true
character when he signed the bill.
Nobody but the common people were
deceived by the fraud and trickery
involved in that measure. This will
appear by an examination OF the
records.
Since that time various devices
have been resorted to by the con-
spirators to avoid the restoration of
silver to free coinage, the last Of
which is the so-cslled Sherman law OF
1890. That law, which was only de-
signed as q means to defeat free
coinage law, as Mr.. Sherman himself
openly declares, was also a fraud
upon it's face. 1t conveyed to the
people the idea that treasury notes
we're to be put in circulation to the
full value of the bullion purchased
and that those notes, when presented
for redemption, should be redeemed
in silver coin. It is perfectly safe tc
say that this was the Interpretation
placed upon the law by niuety-nne-
hundredths of the people, What has
been the practice under this and the
preceding administration? Where
treasury notes have been issued at al
they have been very largely redeemed
IN gold. Not one has ever been re-
deemed in silver. In many instances
