A Question of Honesty,

Mayor Warwick, Of. Philadelphia,
hit free silver hard blow between the
eyes when he said in his speech before
the Union League, of Philadelphia, on
June "a:
''To juggle with this question is
cowardice. We cannot climb over it,
dive under it or sneak around it.
This is more than question of party.
1t is a question OF principle
and honesty. The Government
has no more right to debase the coin
than the rogue has to clip it. The
Government does not make standards
OF value. They are made by com
merce and the laws of supply and de.
mand. The Government can't make
honest thing that is dishonest. It
may be able to compel obedience to
it's DEGREES by force, but it has no
more right to stamp fifty cents worth
of bullion with the declaration that it
is dollar that have to steal dollar
from my friend here. The moment
it does that it makes the Goddess of
Liberty on that coin tell lie. 1t is
simply a question of honesty, and in
the name of God don't let the Govern
ment of the Republic be dishonest. If
the Government can take fifty cents
worth of bullion, and can by its i'm
press make it a dollar, it can by the
same power take twenty-five cents
worth and make it $50"

A Blind Guide.

Is it not surprising that all sorts of
financial heresies should be believed
in by the masses when those who as
sumo to be teachers hold such mis-
taken views. For instance, President
E. B. Andrews of Brown University,
in his book, can Honest Dollar" says
that the world is billions of dollars
poorer because of the gold standard.
Now, if that statement means anything,
it means that there are billions of dol
lars worth less of houses, railroads, YES
sells, factories, clothing, furniture,
etc., in existence than there would be
under a different financial system.
But how, or why, this is SO he does
not tell US. The world is rich or poor
according as it has many or few of the
things which minister to our comfort.
An increase in prices is not an increase
of the things for lack of which men
are poor. President Andrews ought
to know better than to mistake prices
for wealth.

SILVER NOT DEMONErIZED.

The charge that silver was "demon-
etized''-that is, that it ceased to be
money in 1S73-has been one of the
chief arguments of the free coinage
advocates. When it is pointed out
that instead of the few millions Of sill
yer then in use we now have over four
hundred millions of silver money, the
silverites reply: cit is true that we
have far more silver money than whe
we had free coinage. By the law of
1873 gold was made the standard of
value, and so silver is only token
money. Our silver dollars and GER
titicates are not money OF ultimate
redemption"
Like the good old lady who loved
to hear the blessed word "Mesepo-
tamia," the silverite press and orators
enjoy using big words and have caught
up the phrase "moneY of ultimate re-
demption," and are using it to prove
their false claim that silver is demon
cited. They cannot deny that our
silver money is full legal tender ana
therefore on an equality with gold. But
|
deems silver in gold, and that silver
currency is sincerely token money. 1t is
on this ground that they repeat the
old exploded charge that the law OF
1873 destroyed one-half of the coun.
try's money.
It is easy to show that all the talk
about redemption money" is founded
on a delusion. Our paper currency is
redeemable in coin, either gold or sill
yer. But silver is full legal tender,
and does not require redemption. The
statement that it is token money, like
our subsidiary coinage, is simply al
invention of the silverites, who are
trying to find hole to crawl out Of
their baseless fiction about the strik-
ing down of silver. The one fact that
we are using over four hundred mill
ions of legal tender silver is sufficient
answer to all the misleading state
ments about ''the crime of 1873 by
which silver was demonetized.

They Don't Want Cheap Money.

The all-important question which
will be the main, if not the only,
issue in the Presidential campaign
next year, is whether the people
wish a currency with half the pur-
chasing power OF the present currency.
Do the laboring men who get Sc, So.
or S1S week desire to be paid in a
currency that will buy no more than
50, Sc, or 50 will now buy9 Do they
see any indication of prosperity in
that? No doubt they could ask their
employers to double their wages, but
does their experience justify the be-
lief that it would be done? Do
they not know that wages are the last
to go up when the currency is de-
graded? If they do not, they have
only to consult the history of the
country and of the world. Madison

Explain the Facts.

How do the organs of unccnditionla
free silverism account for the fact that
business has improved so remarkably
and that the number Of persons en-
ployed in the industries OF this coun-
try, and the wages paid them have in
creased so largely in the last few
months?
Such things have no right to occur
if we are to believe one-half of what
these silver monometallists tell us.
They say the country is going to the
devil and can take no other direction
until we have the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
When they are told that the most
wretched countries of all that pretend
to civilization have the free and IN
limited coinage of silver and that it
does not obtain in any great or lead
ing Nation, they say that has nothing
to do with the case; that free coinage
is the thing for us and that until we
adopt it things are bound to get worse
and worse with US.
But somehow things refuse to go
that way. Business is better than it
was two years, one year, six months or
one month ago.
In our cotton mills, shoe factories,
clothing factories, iron furnaces, man
ufacturing industries of every class
there are more employees than there
were at the opening of the year and
the average of their wages is greater.
The wages of hundreds of thousands
of men and women have within the
last three months been increased ten
and fifteen per cent. and in nearly
every instance the increase has been
voluntary.
Money is easier than it has been for
years and can be obtained on good Sc
curity for any esitimate enterprise,
whereas it could not be borrowed on
Government bonds during the latter
months of the operation of the act I'M
der which we purchased 1900, 600
ounces of silver a month.
And yet we are told that the return
of prosperity depends upon the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
If the silverites are right the condi-
ton of the country should grow worse
the longer we refrain from coming sill
yer. What, then, is the reason for this
great and general improvement in
business an2 this general increase OF
wages? Is this time to revolu-
tionize the currency? Is this time
to abandon conditions under which all
the material interests of the country
are improving and adopt system OF
currency which, wherever it exists, is
found in connection with National in
feriority, commercial insignifcance
and degraded laborf-Atlanta (Ga.)

ALL MONEY IS NOT CAPITAL,

The origin of many OF the cheap
money decisions is the popular belief
that an increase in the amount of
money in a country means an increase
of capital. 1t is this idea which is be-
hind the demand for free silver and
greenbacks equal to $50 per capita.
Many of those who are in favor of
these schemes honestly believe that in
some mysterious way doubling the
amount of currency will double the
wealth of the country. And their ar
guments are based on the supposition
that if the wealth now in the country
in the shape of silver bullion were
stamped as coins, or some pieces of
paper were stamped with the Govern
mentss promise to pay, everybody
would have twice as much of the
products of labor which we call
wealth.
It is true that metal money is form
of wealth. But it IS because the gold
or silver is valuable as bullion, and
not because the Government has
stamped it with certificate OF its
weight and degree of purity. The
value Of bullion depends on its utility,
and its cost of production. It would
be no more useful in the arts, nor
would it cost more to produce it. if it
were stamped as money. That this is
so is seen by the action of the pro-
ducers of gold, who might have their
entire product coined into money, but
prefer to sell large proportion of it
as bullion. The gold shipments be-
tween this country and Europe. which
are described by Populist papers when
gold goes to Europe as sending our
money out Of the country" are near
ly always gold ingots, and not eagles
or sovereigns. Running metal through
a mint does not add to its value.
The other delusion, that Govern
ment promises to pay wealth which it
has not got would create capital for
investment in agriculture, manufac-
turing or commerce, has not even the
shadow of fact behind it. Govern
ments have no wealth except what
they take from the people by taxa
ton. All the capital of this country be-
longs to the Is, 900, 900 individuals who
live and work here. The various pub
lie buildings and other Government
property were paid for in wealth
taken from the people. Andthe issue
by Government of any kind of paper
promises to pay is nothing else than
forced loan. Printing ''ten dollars
on one hundred million pieces OF
paper adds nothing to the stock OF
food, clothes, furniture and other
necessities or luxuries which we call
wealth. If anybody takes such paper
in exchange for his products the total
wealth OF the country has not been
increased one cents worth. Nor
would there be the slightest increase
in that part of the wealth used in pro
ducing more goods, which we call
capital.
Real capital is the mainstay of pro-
duction, for it furnishes buildings,
machinery, materials, etc, for all the
the industrial processes of modern So
ciety. But borrowing by means OF
fat money or other Government prom
Uses to pay creates no capital and does
not aid in any way the production OF
wealth.

Sound Money.

The Richmond State says: ia silve
dollar passes for sound dollar when
the Government will give gold dollar
in exchange therefor. But let the
Government once decline to make such
an exchange. what then? The bullion
in silver dollar is worth say about
sixty cents. Therefore the silver dol
lar cannot be worth intrinsically as
much as a gold dollar. Gold is re-
cognized the world over as money
metal and it circulates everywhere as
money at fixed value. Silver is not
so recognized. 1t is not an inter.
national money. Therefore its circu-
lation value, its fictitious value if you
will, is not equal to that of gold. In
short, asilver dollar cannot walk alone.
1t must go with crutch or it falls.
1t is not sound money"

The Improvement in Wages.

The New Orleans Picayune closes m
editorial describing the recent general
advance in wages throughout the
country as follows: ''With these facts
before the country, the lamentations
of our silver friends are somewhat
ludicrous, and the Picayune does not
belief that their arguments will prove
convincing to the workingmen, who
see their condition steadily imrrov-
ing, and who have sense enough to
realize that they cannot hope to live
as comfortably, if paid in a depre-
ciated currency. as they do at present.
OF what advantage to them will be the
advance in cotton, wheat. pork and
the other necessaries which the silver
ties hold must be brought about by
the recognition of silver, if the money
in which their wages are paid has a
diminished purchasing power?"

Poor Mans Money.

What insuherable demagoguery
is that cry about the "poor mans
money" They say ''gold is the
more valuable; it is the money of the
rich, silver is the cheaper metal, it is
the poor mans money, therefore all
poor men should demand free silver"
Now, in the name of all the gods at
once, why should there be one kind of
money for the poor and another for
the rich? What is money for, any
way? If a laboring man wants it as
pay for his services as fertilization
against time of sickness, or as a COM
potency for old age, he wants the best
money going, not the poorest. If
poor money is the thing for the poor
man, why advocate money as good as
silver? Why not make the ''poor
mans money out of copper and
brass? Is there any sensible reason
for talking about ''poor mans
money" anyway? Why should not the
poor have the same standard Of
value as therich? You might with equal
sense advocate poor food, ragged
clothes and rancid butter as being espe-
cially adapted to the comfort and hap
piness of the poor, simply because they
are cheaper. Give thepoor man the best
money in the world. His share of it
is small enough as it is; do not make
that share still smaller by giving it to
him in "cheap money" money which
is not worth dollar for dollar Just as
much in purchasing power as any
other dollar in the worll. When you
erase from the free silver doctrine the
suggestion that the poor man needs
different kind of money from the
rich mans, you have erased large
part of their entire stock of argu-
ments.

Svengali Stewart. of Nevada, has
evidently read the book and is trying
his best to hypnotic Miss Columbia,
in order that lie may make her sing

But weird and uncanny as are his in

wisdom, they will have no effect on
Miss Columbia. She is a very prac-
teal young woman and will not put
herself IN the power of a political
quack. The Senator from the silver

PENNSYLVANIA for Sound Money.

efforts have been made" says the
Philadelphia Record (Ind.), "to create
the impression that Pennsylvania is
wavering in its belief in honest money;
but as the emphatic utterance of the
League represents the sentiment of
Philadelphia, so also does the attitude
of the city typify the position Of the
State. The hard-handed and clear
headed vorkingmen in the industries
of this great commonwealth recognize
the baneful effects that would follow
the debasement of the National cur
rency, and they are not to be deluded
by the fallacious theories of the silver
ties. They ask an honest wage, and
are willing to pay their debts IN
honest money!"

Working for Mexican AMI Chinese
Wages.

The Kansas City Star und.) calls
attention to the statement, in recent
consular report from Shanghai, that
the manufacturer who hires laborers
in Asia, and pays them in silver, is
enabled to produce goods cheaper
than they can be made by the manu-
facturer in the United States, who
pays wages in gold or its equivalent.
.'The remedy proposed for this I'M
equal competition, says the Star, sis
the adoption of free silver in the
United States" and this ''involves the
proposition to cut down the pay of the
American laboring man to level with
the pay of the Japanese, Chinese, In
dian and Mexican laboring man."
In the Beginning.
Our fathers in 1892 intended to es-
tablish neither ''bimetallism,
Recommendation, nor any "metal-
lism" whatever. They took things as
they found them-gold and silver
coins il circulation. Nor did they at
tempt to create unit. They accepted
as such unit the coin which was then
in most universal use about them by
commercial sanction alone, and ar
ranged to make coins of the same
value by putting into them the proper
amount of silver. And so far were
they from the idea of creating new
standard that, as matter of fact,
they declared that the coin they pro.
posed to mint should be cot the value
of the Spanish milled dollar as the
same is now current constitut-
ing foreign coin at its commercial OF
bullion value. the actual standard by
which the mint was to be governed.
Recognizing the fact that gold was also
actually used, they provided also for
the coinage of ten-dollar gold piece,
to be ''of the value" of ten of the sill
yer dollars, each of which was in turn
to be of the value of the Spanish dol
lar accepted as the standard. A labori-
Gus investigation was had as to the
amount of silver and gold which the
coins should respectively contain in
order accurately to express their value,
and the result was duly bulletined by
the law in accord with the Constitution
al provision ':to coin money and reg
ulate the value thereof" just as at
frequent intervals, to this date, the
rates at which the several foreign coins
are accepted at the Treasury are duly
bulletined, and as for fifty years eff
fectively and up to date as matter of
law the worth of certain foreign coins
were and are estimated by Federal
statute. Hon. John Dewitt Warner,
in June Forum.
