TWO GREAT SPEECHES

The APPEAL surrenders much
of its space to-day to the speeches
Of Senator Jones and General
Warner. Owing to an engage
ment at Gold Hill last evening.
Senator Jones did not speak as
advertised, and the evening was
occupied by General Warner,
President of the Bimetallic
League of the United States.
The APPEAL however, prints
Jones Winnemucca speech, as the
two speeches to be effective, must
be read side by side.
In fact in reading them one is
reminded that the Silver party Of
Nevada at the present time is like
an ocean greyhound driven by
triple expansion engines. blowing
it's powerful course through the
waves, driven by twin screw pro-
pellers, and Jones and Warner
the propellers. The ship is now
racing in a trial trip and the cleo
ton Of the Silver ticket its
premium for extra speed. With
Jones and Warner the propelling
power, Newlands on the bridge,
J. f. Jones at the helm, and the
best selected officers and crew that
ever trod a quarter deck, the des-
tination Of the craft can no
longer remain in doubt.
Any silver man who reads these
speeches will have ten reasons for
the faith that is in him where he
had one before, and any Republi-
can who reads them, and is not
| converted, holds a stubbornness
that is not either faith or religion
bat is a blind and idolertrous
fetisch worship of that which is
beyond the reach Of reason.

BEING STUDIED.
Attention That Is Being Shown the Silver
Question

Attention That Is Being Shown the Silver
Question.
The silver question never has received
so much earnest study as it is receiving
to-day. 1t never was of such vital inn
portance as it is now, when much as
we may deplore the fact, it is neverthe,
less fact that we cannot hope for any
favorable legislation for at least three
years, and possibly for twice that long,
Day by day the conviction is growing
stronger among gold monometallist
that the entire displacement of silver
as money metal has not brought
about that "era of prosperity" so con-
tidently predicted What is the result?
10th to admit that the 'crazy silver
men" were right, the organs of Wall
and Lombard streets are calling for q
still further contraction of the cur
renQy, There are too many greenbacl1s,
they contend, and this they insist
is the reason for the present marked
distrust. Heretofore our gold has gone
abroad because the balance of trade
was against us Now it Is leaving our
treasury and forcing upon us another
bond issue, because European investors
distrust the ability of our government
to redeem it's obligations, There was
never a time when the treasury could
not have redeemed every silver certif-
cate in silver, dollar for dollar, but the
small gold reserve would not suffice to
redeem the obligations of this nation,
and investors are beginning to find
this out. Instead of asking for the
coinage of more money, they ask for
the contraction of our paper money
until it is balanced by the meager gold
reserve.-Denver News.

VALUE OF A DOLLAR.
How the Debtor Class Suffers by tho ID
probation of Silver.

How the Debtor Glass Suffers by tho De-
probation of Silver.
In his speech at the free silver con-
vention in Nebraska Congressman
Bryan said:
"You can just as well increase the
debts of the people by contracting the
currency as in any other way, The
value of dollar is dependent upon the
amount of dollars in circulation, but
no exact amount of money per capita
can be settled by legislation The
debtor who owes $4,000 and can de-
crease the value of the dollar one-half
will thus owe but $1,000. Illegal de-
probation is no more dishonest, how
ever, than illegal appreciation. The
metals are used for money because
only limited amount can be pro-
duced each year, and thus the small
depreciation can occur even if all the
money metal product is coined.
when gold became plentiful three
European countries demonetized sill
yer, fearing that the amount coined
would be too great. These same
countries afterwards demonetized sill
yer when it became more plentiful
This is favorite device of the great
creditors, nations and individuals.
LET us suppose that by free coinage
of silver every gold dollar would go
abroad and silver dollars would take
their place, and yet there would be
just as much money and just as good
money as ever before. The prophets
said all the gold would leave the coun-
try in 1878, but it actually came to this
country. The prophets again said that
if the Sherman law were repealed sill
yer would go up, but it went down and
wheat went down at the same time.
After years of legislation against silver
is not it time to begin to legislate for
silver?
81 am always ready to vote for dol
lar which is always honest in its pur-
chasing power. But the appreciation
of gold is not making an honest dollar,
because it is in favor of the creditor
classes in increasing the value of
money and cutting down the value of
all products of the people. jefferson
and jackson were the great apostles of
the rights of the common people and
they were prominently great in saw
ing the people from the clutches of the
money power"

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

1t Would BE Great Advance Towards
Bimetalllsm Because 1t Would Curtail
the Power of Gold MOnemetallists.
AS we understand the bill just re-
ported favorably from the house ju-
dietary committee and which is de-
signed to prevent determinations
against any of the coin or currency Of
the nation, it simply provides that all
contracts hereafter made which may
be discharged by the payment of
money such payment may be made in
any legal tender money of the United
States Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in any such contract
The practical and far-reaching effect
of the act, if it should pass, would be
to prohibit specific contracts for pay
meuts in gold or any other particular
money.
Congress clearly has the power to
pass such a law The constitution
vests in congress the full and exclu-
sive control of the money of the nation.
The supreme court in constituting the
constitution has decided that it is
within the power of congress to de-
termine what money shall constitute a
legal tender While it would be un.
constitutional, perhaps, at all events
unwise and reprehensible, to attempt
to interfere with any existing con-
tract, there can be no constitutional or
legal objection to statute forbidding
determinations in private or public
contracts against any of the issues of
national money.
In commenting on his bill Mr.. Lane,
of Illinois, speaks of determinations
made by the courts in ordering iudg-
ments to be paid in coin There is
probably nothing in this. Courts have
simply carried out specific contracts
for payments in gold. The trouble
has been in the recognition by con-
gress of the right of individuals to
make such specific contracts, which oc-
ours in several of the acts providing
for different issues of currency,
But Mr., Lane mentions an interest

ing fact not generally known. He
states that the courts of France have
held that parties cannot by specific
contracts discriminate against the
bank notes of the Bank of France,
which are legal tender and coin money.
The bill ought to pass, 1t would
tend to assist in maintaining the abso.
Lutte parity OF all of the money of tho
nation. 1t would remove all POSSIBLE
ity of cornering any particular form Of
money 1t would be in the interest of
bimetallism, because it would deprive
the gold monometallists of all power of
discriminating against silver 1t would
work absolute justice to the debtor
class. because it would prevent credit
ors from demanding payment in ma
nipulated and appreciated money, and
it would work no injustice to the cred
itor class. Francisco Chronicle.

What Is Needed.

In his Fourth of July speech at New
York Senator Walsh, of Georgia, said:
The south ''favors the reconciliation
of silver Business needs larger vol
ume of currency. With the immense
growth of the country, it is believed
that this government has the power to
establish q financial system independ-
emit of Europe, and the ability to
maintain the free coinage of silver and
gold and preserve both at a parity.
The contraction of the currency by the
characterization of silver appreciates
the purchasing power of gold, depre-
ciates the value of agricultural products
and reduces the wages of labor, The gold
standard places the debtor at the mercy
of the creditor, and paralyzes, to cer-
tain extent, the business of the coun-
try AS the United States are indie.
pendent politically of European ma
tions, so should they be financially,
The south believes that the federal gov
eminent should restore the free silver
and gold coinage of the constitution,
which 1t maintained until 1873 at a RAJ
ito first of Is, then of 16 to /, and that
it should do this with or without inter-
national agreement"
