APPARENTLY GOOD COMMON SENSE BUT
VERY RARE COURT SENSE.

Judge Caldwell in the course Of
his famous decision in the case be-

said:
10 10 part Of che published history Of
the country, Of which the court viii take
judicial notice, that for the AEst S6 million
dollars Of stock issued this company (ths
UniOn PaciHO) received less than 2 per
cent. ON the dollar, and che profit Of con-
struCAion represented by outstanding bonds
was SA3, ,929,S2S. There would seem to DO
no equity In reducing the wages Of the en-
ployes below what 10 reasonable and just IN
order TO pay dividends on stock and inter
est ON bonds Of that character.
This decision is certainly an in-
fringement Of vested rights. After
q company has been regularly Ii
censed to plumber the public it is
highly prssumptuous for a judge to
establish limitations OF It's powers.

The ADVOCATE makes no quasi de-
tense or any kind Of defense OF the
democratic party in anything it has
done before, during or since the war.
Neither does the ADVOCATE de-
fend the republican party in
those things which are rad
ically wrong. We were iden-
tilted with the republican party from
1860 TO 1883, and do not hesitate to
give it full credit for all the good it
has done. We do not feel called
upon, however, to defend it in the
schemes of plunder for which it was
responsible, and among these we
have mentioned the dlsCredit of the
peoples money and the payment OF
the bonds in money Of four times the
purchasing power of that in which
they were contracted to be paid OK
that with which they were originally
purchased from the government
made SO by republican Legislation.

disCredlting its own money, it says:

The ADVOCATE does not forget that
the issue of paper money was q

sac Of the money that we object to,
but that in issuing it the stamp OF

which the gold-owners of Europe and
America could not have made it sub
ject to speculation. win the Cham
pion be kind enough to tell us what
was wrong with the go millions Of

could not have been Of like chsraC-
terg These, when first issued, we're
not a legal tender for anything, and
the patriotic bankers refused to have
anything to do with them. They ia

that the government was compelled
by subsequent act to make them q

no exception upon them. As q re-
suit of this, they Immediately arose to

ing all the time that the discredited
money was SO much deprecated as
compared with gold. This kind OF
money; was what the gold'ownera
feared, and they set themselves the
task to see that no more of it should
be issued. In this they were success
full, and the paper money issued un'
der subsequent acts had the stamp OF
discredit upon it as the gold-owners
desired.
The Champion made the unequivo'
cal statement that "the republican
party never coined or printed dol

should correct it. But the mos

SILVER SENTIMENT.
ISSUE AN ADDRESS TO BUCKEYE
VOTERS.
The state Democratic Committee Gives
Out Lengthy Manifesto on the
Money Question. Which 1t Claims
Is the Supreme Issue-StrenuOus
Efforts to Demonstrate That the
White Metal Should BE Placed on
Par With Gold.

COLUMBUS. Ohio Oct. 4.-The Demo-
cratic state executive committee, of which
A. w Thurman is president and w. a.
Taylor secretary. today issued an address
to the voters OF Ohio, to the effect that
tariff reform has won. and that the money
question is now the supreme issue before
the country.
The address contains about 3,400 words
and is understood to have been prepared
by Mr. Thurman. 1t says, among other
things:
First-That money is the standard by
which the exchangeabe value of all labor
and the products of the same are deter
mined.
Second-That no money standard ever
has been, nor ever can be q fixed and TN
varying measure.
Third-Business men must remember that
money may be appreciated in value as Well
deprecated
Fourth-That when it appreciates, prices
fan. When it depreciates, prices rise.
F1fth-That the value of money itself is
nNed by its eXchangeable or purchasing
power over other commodities, and this
purchasing power of money is determined
wholly and solely by the proportion that
the quantity of money in circulation bears
TO other commodities.
SiNth--Now what is the demand fer
money? 1t is the demand of all things
upoH tiilS one thing.
Seyenth-Now what Is the supply? The
supply is the creation solely of the govern
ment. as nothing is money until the stamp
of the government is placed upon T..
Prior to the demonetiation of silver in
1873, gold and silver was the standard
money. Since then it has been gold. The
supply was cut in two. COULD any result
other than the continuous fall in prices
we have experienced for 20 years follow
the adoption of this policy? All business
men have been looking for the cause Of
this continual decline.

not and cannot rise from local, temporary
or subordinate causes Tt must have its

In silver countries prices have remained
stable. In gold countries prices have
fallen from 10 to so per cent. Silver is the
standard Of value of more than half of
the world.

has been aprointey by different govern
ments. have said MAT beyond any doubt
during the last 90 years gold has continu-
ally and steadily appreciated in value;
and that this appreciation has been the real
cause Of the tremendous fall in prices
which have taken place in all values and
the great financial disturbances we have
seen in all gold using countries.

duetion of silver because for 400 years
prior to 1873, the relative production of
gold aud silver was not nnita Is nf silver
