WHY HE SHOULD SIGN.

BY signing the seigniorage bill
Mr.. Cleveland can strengthen thu
Dem cratic party in the stale.
which gave him his majorities.
He can sign the bill with a clear
= conscience
Because his Secretary of the
Treasury suggested The coinage OF
the seigniOrage.
Because the Democratic party,
the president cOncurring, held out
the promise that whatever could
safely be dOre would be done for
silver.
Because the measure would i'm
mensely assist the treasury j..
meeting the deficit caused by bad
Republican legislation.
Because it would relieve the
Immediate pressure upon the gold
reserve and enable us to escap,
further increase of the bond ,d
debt.
81" Because it would utilize our
bullion in the only way possible
for the government-by changing
metal into money. The govern.
ment cannot Iegitimately be a |
bullion warehouse, while it can
and should hold coined monev
against its paper obligation.
Because the movement for an
issue of greenbacks to the point of
inconvertibility would be checked.
Because it would close the chan.
ter OF the Sherman act and wipe
out the remaining traces of false
policy of trying to sustain a bull
ION market with gold notes.
If Mr.. Cleveland does not be.
lleye that there is an advantage in
new silver certificates, neverthe-
less liberal craftsmanship should
teach him that concession to the
overwhelming sentiment of his
party is better than a defiance. {
Even as an opponent of further :
