 BOWLING GREEN, Ky, May 25--Hon. J. G. Carlisle, secretary Of the treasury, spoke here yesterday in the opera house on the currency question. The seating capscity of the house is only about 2000. and 1t was found necessary to exclude women Rad children, voters only being admitted.
 When Mir. Carlisle sppesred upon the stage he WAS greeted with loud applause. After brief statement that he WAS there to discuss public questions and not in any way to apologize for the sdministra- tiop, which he knew needed DO apology, MT. Carlisle commenced as follows:
 "The question is whether we shall con- tinue to preserve our present monetary system, under which the dollars in use with the people, whether gold, silver CT paper, are equal in purchasing power in all markets. The proposition of our fellow citizens in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of legal tender silver is that the United States alone, without the assistance and cooperation of any other government shall legalize the coin- age of 4l212 grains of standard silver into dollar and by law com pel the people of the United States, but nobody else, to receive these dollars in payment ot debts of all kinds when, as 8 matter of fact, the silver contained in such a coin is only worth about 50 cents. But the claim by the free coinage men that free coinage at l6 to would appreciate silver and bring it to parity with gold oe- stroys the argument that it would fur nish the people with currency with which to pay debts.
 "No country can establish the free coinage of both metals, giving to each full legal tender equality and both in- creased at the same time. England tried for five hundred years with strict laws against the importation of com. She lost all her gold and was driven in 1906 to the single standard. Wherever ir the currency of Q country a metal is overrated in comparison with another metal, the undervalued metal is driven out of the country.
 "There are five provisions which abso- lutely cannot be avoided:
 First-There is not free coinage silver basis.
 Second-There is not gold standard country in the world today that does not use silver for money along with gold.
 Third-I here is not silver standard country in the world that uses any gold as money along with silver.
 Fourth-There is not silver standard country in the world today that has more than one third of the circulation per capita of the United States.
 Fifth-There is not silver standard country in the world today where the laboring man receives fair pay for hls day's wClk.
 of the United States could coin all the silver in the world available for coin- age the 37lN grams of pure silver con- tained in our dollar would not be worth in this country as much as the silver dollar, but the silver dollar itself would be depreciated. The Mexican dollar, with 377 IF grsins of silver, six grams more than the American dollar, is worth only about 50 cents of our money. That would be exactly the effect CD our silver dollar if we coined fer private account, free all the silver brought. If we can, by making the ratio 16 to l, make sill yer dollar pass as 100 cents when it is only worth 50 cents, why could it not be done at ratio of 10 to ].
 "Before free coinage of silver can be brought about another congress and another president favorable to it would nave to be elected. This would certain y take three years, and before that time every creditor in the country, seeing the coming of cheap money. would call on lis debtors to liquidste before the cheap |
