they think that they would be able to
swindle their creditors. A good many
ignorant people want it, because of a
vague idea that it would, in some
mysterious way, make them better
off. There would be more money"
So there would; but nobody could
get one piece of it in any other way
than at present, which is by giving
commodities or service in exchange
for it. The difference would be that
when he had got it, in the same old way
he would find it's purchasing power
cut in two. The price of this trans
action to the whole country would be
the instaneous loss of our $500, OOO. 900
of gold, and such a contraction of
credit as we tasted year ago, when
banks went to the wall everywhere,
when needy man could not borrow
one dollar at any rate or on any Sc
curity, and when government bonds
hunted through the market for pur-
chaser in vain. This is the theory
and practice of free coinage in nut
shell; the craziest project for the ruin
of a nation to benefit a single class,
and that small and not very ad mir
able class-the millionaire owners of
silver mines-that was ever laid be-
fore an intelligent people.-Pioneer

late instead of the silver coined under
free coinage legislation? Please give
full synopsis Of the whole matter.
L. F. HAMMERS.


L. F. HAMMERS.
By the free coinage of silver is
meant that any owner of silver bullion
can take it to the United States mint
and have it coined there into dollars,
each containing 81 IL grains OF
pure silver; that he shall then receive
these dollars, and be authorized to
compel the acceptance of them by any
person in full payment of any debt
tina: he may owe. This is coinage at
the ratio of 16 to /; the gold dollar
containing 1922 grains of pure gold,
and the silver dollar sixteen times as
many grains of pure silver. Whether
or not the government would be ex-
pected to issue paper against such
dollars to keep them in circulation,
the free silver people will not say.
Probably not, as most of the coinage
would be on private account. The
scheme would inure wholly to the
benefit of mine owners. AS the legal
tender act would enable them to force
their silver dollars on any creditor,
they would not need to take the
trouble to change them into paper.
The question of "parity" does not
disturb the free silverite in the least.
He cares nothing about it. As a mat
ter of fact, we would not have to ava it
the passage of such law for the ex-
listing parity of our dollars to disap-
pear. From the moment that its pas
sage became assured, that would be
no parity, because no gold coin would
be in circulation, The silver dollar,
which now floats for it's face be-
cause the government is pledged to
redeem all it's currency in gold, would
sink to the level of its bullion value.
It would still be called dollar; and,
by virtue of legal tender acts, would
pass as such. But it would purchase
only fifty cents worth of commodities.
For, although you may compel a man
to accept cheap money after he sold
a thing, you cannot compel him to
sell it unless he wants to, or for any
less than his own price. The sellers
price would be calculated on the
basis of a fifty-cent dollar, and a gold
dollar would be worth just twice as
much if such coin should anywhere
appear.
This is the whole scheme. The
mining states want it, just as the ag-
states might want law
which would compel a man to take
bushel of wheat in exchange for
dollars worth of anything else, no
matter what the market price. A few
dishonest debtors want it, because

Judge Flandresu, the man who
helped to make the democratic party
in this state, has publicly asked Judge
Willis, who has been nominated by
the Pops and Denis. for associate
justice, to publicly announce which
ticket he proposes to vote. This is a
pertinent question, a fair and honest
one. Mr.. Willis cannot vote two
tickets, and it is reasonable that the
people know where he stands. This
same question can be fairly propound-
ed to the gentleman who is doing the
duel act of running for the senate on
two tickets: If he votes the straight
'populist ticket, which he undoubtedly
will do, what claim has he to demo
cratic support! His voice is lifted
against the democrats, and ne Is dO-

feat of that party, and yet, onthe side,

SURFACES of the democrats. Will
they in turn lick the land that smites
them or will they cast their vote for

to stand by his colors at all times, a

republican candidate for state
senator, has been campaigning
in this county the past week and has
made friends for himself everywhere
he went. Mr.. Miller Yields a ready
pen and is not afraid boldly and firm
ly to attack any wrongs that may
exist. The shysters that are attacked
and shown up are of course his dead

man that is needed in public life, one
that is not afraid, because of policy,
to speak and act. We want to see
Murray county Republicans stand by
him to a man.

him respect and honor him as self
made young man of good abilities
and unblemished character. His re-
cord as a member of the legislature is
clean and pure, and no citizen who
casts his ballot for him two years ago
will be justified in voting against him
this year. The other candidates for
the house, Messrs Shell and Lock

Legislative records, and the Herald
will further introduce them to the

For representatives, VIM. Lockwood,

This was the decision of the Adrian
convention, and it is safe to predict
that the above gentlemen will be the
representatives of this district in the
next legislature. The outcome of the
convention proved asurprise to many,
but we know the ticket nominated is
one which every republican in the
district will heartily endorse. The
nominees are all well-known through
out this section of the state, and their
ability to represent their constituents
in the very best of shape is acknowl-
edged by members of all parties.
They have always been true blue re-
publicans-men who have stood by
the party through thick and thin
and they will be the only candidates
before the people this fall who have
been tried and not found wanting. A
vote for this ticket in November
means a vote for men who will look
after the best interests of the whole
people in the next legislature-Pipe-
