A FALSE POSITION.

Many Who Discuss the Silver Question
Take Erroneous Grounds.
An end should be put to the use of
such humbugging phrases as 1.-THE
parity of the two metals in the dis
cussion of the silver question. Those
who use them advertise their insincer-
ity by refusing to make the expert
ment of returning to the system under
which gold and silver dollars in this
country and in France always circu-
lated at par. So long as the mints of
France and the United States were
open to the free coinage of silver and
gold at a fixed ratio, gold and silver
coins always circulated at par. The
fact that, owing to the mistake of the
United States in overvaluing silver,
legal-tender silver dollars were export
ed almost as rapidly as they were
coined did not disturb the parity of the
coins of the two metals in this coun-
try. Although small premium
was offered for silver by brokers,
gold was anywhere received by mer-
chants at it's face value. In France be-
tween 1903 and 1873 silver and gold
were indifferently coined at the minis
and stocks of the coins of both metals
were accumulated. This experience
ought to teach people the folly of as
suming that under bimetallic system
q country would necessarily be obliged
to con6ne itself to the use of one metal.
If country could not retain stock Of
the precious metals with bimetallic
system in force, the fact would be ex-
plainable in some other manner, just
as our failure to hold gold under the
present system will be explained when
it is seen that the effect of the general
scramble for gold has put the United
States, debtor nation, at a disad-
vantage and compelled it to surrender
its accumulation of the yellow metal

your tent, very nice straw hat with
wide brim 1t had your name in it. /
wore that hat often after that, and
naturally your name was familiar to
me. Allow me, therefore, after all
these years, to pay you for the hat"
Now, Gen. Wagner might have re-
torted that he was not in the habit of
wearing straw hats during his cam
paigniug days, but he choose to get
the laugh back on the little colonel
in more subtle way. So he chuckled
good naturally and said simply:
well, colonel, you must have cut a
great figure riding at the head of your
regiment in that old straw hat of
mine"
The colonel walked straight into the
trap laid for him. "Yes, indeed" he
said, that's what all the boys used to
tell me-"
"And just to give our friends here
some idea of how you must have
looked" SAID Gen. Wagner, permit
me to illustrate" and taking up his
z SIS headgear that lay conveniently
on the top of his desk, he advanced
gracefully and clapped it over the
head of the astonished Virginian.

tinguished. The rim of the generals

was allowed to depart. Before start

said Gen. Floyd,
"Bes, Marse Floyd. 1t pears like I

That's right, John. But are you

some woods. A federal brigade came
through the woods and out into the
open field. There the troops reformed
their lines. The officer in command
was perfectly cool, He took his time,
and the troops formed as If they were
on dress parade. They were within
easy range and we fired into them
They broke and went back into the
woods. In a few minutes they came
back and formed again in the same de-
liberate way. When the officer in
command had got them formed to suit
him, he made them lie down, while he
rode up and down the front as if wait
ing for orders. Gen. Hardee came up
to my brigade willie we were firing ON
them and said;
"'Stop shooting at those men, It's
murder.
"We stopped. Some time afterward
! talked with Mcdowell about Hardee's
order, and asked him what he thought
Of the situation. He said: 1t was not
murder; it was war;.
"Hardee was an officer of the regular
army; he had fought under the flag,
and suppose he couldn't stand seeing
it fired on when carried by such brave
men, The way that brigade and its
commander acted under fire impressed
me, and l have often wondered who
the officer was"
One of the officers present was able
to tell to whom Gen. Mills tribute Of
bravery applied. He was Gen. Car
man. After careful examination Of
the map Gen, Carman decided that the
brigade was that of Gen. John NJ.
Loomis, composed of the Twenty-sixth
and Ninetieth Illinois and the Twelfth
and Ono Hundredth Indiana. Gen.

Ridge.
At Gen. II. V. Boynton's talk about
the Chattanooga campaign, before the
Army and Navy club, two good war
stories were told. The audience en-
braced distinguished ex-confederates
as well as ex-union officers, together
with many officers Of the regular army.
Gen. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, was one
of the ex-confederates present. His
brigade was one of the three or four
which Cleburne marched to the north

the hard fighting for possession of

his talk Gen. Mills showed on the map

"A vast stream of gold, as well as
silver, could be made to flow into the
United States, stream swelled by the
higher price which cotton, and wheat,
and every kind of farm produce would
command when exported from the
United States to gold-using countries;
flow Of specie which would fill the
vaults of banks in manner which
would not only benefit the majority of
bankers-indeed keeping some of them

land, Farmers and miners would then

business of prosperous country fac

close their doors because of the wide
spread poverty of the land owing to

SILVER DECENTRALIZATION.

IL Was Great Injustice to the People
and Caused IL Wholesale ShrInkage In
Values.
Destroying the use Of silver as money
put shaclsles upon the limbs of labor,
which have become more and more UNI
endurable. Labor and its products
have by this act of decentralization been
constantly shrinking in price. Work.
ingmen are disposed to find fault with
their employers, when they are not to
blame for cut in wages The
products of labor shrink in proportion.
Warehouses are filled with furniture
for which there Is no sale unless at q
price below the cost of production.
The raw materials must be cheapened,
wages of labor must be cut, the manu-
featured goods on hand must be marked
down below cost. Taxes are not re-
duced; the interest on bonds and fixed
investments is doubled in its purchas-
ing power. The producers Of wealth
are now partaking of the feast which
the decentralization of silver has pre-
pared for them.
There are many honest men who
would favor the restoration of silver II
the silver dollar had u dollars worth
of silver in it, They admit that silver
is the workingmans money, and they
are led astray by the specious and de-
lusive argument of Senator Sherman
and other gold monometallists. SEN

he can live to see the workingman get
as good a dollar as the bondholder re-
ceives. If sincere, why not pay the
bondholder in the workingman's dol
lar? That would place both on an
equal footing. The difficulty is that
after the bondholder has received his
gold dollar there is none left for the
laborer If congress would deprive
gold of it's money function as it has
done with silver it would restore the
parity between the rich and the poor
mans dollar. If gold were demone-
tized and deprived of its money funo-
ton its value as commodity would
depend upon it's commodity use.
Unless some other use could be
found for it than is now known,
there would be enough gold instantly
thrown upon the market to meet the
demand for it in dentistry and in the
arts for fifty years. 1t would not be
worth enough to justify an effort to in
crease the quantity. Let the nations
treat it as they are now treating silver,
and our ratio of 16 to would not be
maintained for day, to the everlast-
ing dishonor of gold. Discard the use
of gold as money and remonetize silver,
and the parity of the two metals would
be destroyed, the same as now. The
silver dollar, being worth only go
cents in gold, would be worth by the
same measure 1870 or $50 cents. This is
simply saying that the coinage value
of both metals depends solely and
purely upon the fiat of governments.
1t is also repeating the thought that
when no longer coined their
commodity value would depend upon
their commodity use, in which case sill
yer would outrank gold pound for
pound. Gold would be the debased and
dishonored metal.--Cincinnat In

Evils of the Gold Standard.

The evils we are now suffering have
their origin in the gold standard, and
will continue with increasing intensity
so long as their cause is suffered to re-
main. This new policy was first en-
tered upon by the commercial nations
in 1873, and what we are now witness
ing in this and other countries are it's
legitimate fruits. 1t is arresting pro-
duction and compelling communities
to subsist upon the past accumulations
of the present and former generations.
As only small part of this aggre-
gated wealth, even if it could be equal
ly distributed, is in form to furnish
us with the necessaries of life, the por-
ton of it available will soon be con-
consumed. What then! Let the bank
ers, whose gold policy is running their
patrons, and the gold newspapers,
whose financial heresies are wasting
the country, think of this, and let them
be assured that men will not starve
and see their families starve and say
nothing about it.--Chicago Times.

SILVER AND GOLD MONEY.
The Weakness of the Single Gold Standard
Bringing to the Front Many Advocates of
Bimetallsm.


The Weakness of the Single Gold Standard
Bringing to the Front Many Advocates of
Bimetalllsm.
Now, that the single gold standard
has been tried and found wanting, the
leading financial periodicals of the
country are publishing some very strong
pleas for bimetallism.
Edward b. Howell, in the July num-
Der of Rhodes Journal of Banking, has
a capital article on THE Malady of the
Gold Standard" Mr.. Howell illustrates
the usefulness of double money
standard in the following striking par
agraph;
Secretary Carlisle is said to have as
serted at the banquet of the New York
chamber of commerce last fall that he
had never been able to understand
what is meant by double standard Of
value, and had never seen any one who
could tell him. The phrase is not a
felicitous one, yet it does not stand for
an impossible thing. There is the same
advantage in the double standard of
value that there is in two legs to a
man. The man with two legs has a
three-fold advantage over the man
with only one, for, first, he can stand
on the right to the exclusion of the
left; second, he can stand on the left to
the exclusion of the right; or, third, he
can stand on both legs simultaneously.
A nation with double standard can
rely on gold when that is the more
abundant metal, as it was prior to 1878,
or on silver when that is more album
dant, as it has been in recent years, or
under favorable circumstances it can
use both. The policy of every govern
ment should be at all times to freely
coin and use the cheaper metal. The
other will then never get very far
away"
lie goes on to say that if during the
period of 1S73-lS99 the United States
had dispensed with the use of uncov-
cred paper, including national bank
notes, and had coined and put into cir
culation every ounce of silver and gold
produced in this country during those
nineteen years, our per capita circula-
ton would not have been more than SO
greater than it was in 1892. He con-
cludes as follows:
"Silver production has not increased
during the same period as rapidly as
the production of cereal crops, nor Of
cotton, nor as rapidly as the increase
of foreign commerce. The fifty-cent
silver dollar is not due to an over-pro-
duction of silver, for if crop production
and the growth of commerce is meas
ure, there has been no over-production
of silver. but is is due to the
decentralization of silver and the under
production of gold.
"In all the important mining camps
of the west, the most profitable and
easily worked portion of the larger
mines, known as the oxidized zone or
gossan,' has as rule been worked out
1t is not improbable that zenith of
silver production is not far away, and
that twenty-five years hence the world
will be as clamorous for more silver
as it is now for more gold"
Another article on "bimetallism" in
the same magazine points out the in
jury resulting from the reduction of
our circulating medium one-half by
demonetizing one Of the precious
