their obligations with fifty cents
on the dollar. They would
thus initiate prices, it is true,
but it would require two dol
lars to buy one dollars worth
of anything that a farmer or
laboring man consumed, while
no one supposes that the wages
would be doubled under such
standard. In addition. it would
destroy the credit OF the United
States throughout the entire
civilized world, and the billions
of money employed for the de-
velopment OF this country, OBJ
tanned at low rates of interest
from the Old World. would be
withdrawn, and we should be
left in utter helplessness be-
cause we had deliberately dis
honored ourselves and de-
stroyed our credit.
1t is not a question that
affects the rich alone. On the
contrary, it will very generally
affect the working classes more
than any other condition of
life. They would have to pay
double for everything they
consume, and they could not
hope. even under the most
favorable circumstances, 10
command double prices for
their labor or their products.
1t is sheer speculation and
demagogism that demand a
silver standard of money, and
every honest citizen, and
especially every man who lives
by his labor, should spurn both
the speculator and the char
latan and declare for honest
money as the paramount issue
of the nation.
We must have the honest
money standard or we must
halt every movement to adj
vance civilization. Honest men
want honest money and it is
easily accomplished. Make
every dollar an honest dollar,
worth its face value wherever
it may be offered, and the
credit of the nation and of our
people would be maintained
and new era OF prosperity
would dawn upon us. OF all
the fatal vagaries OF the century
the free silver fanatics are the
most dangerous in their theory.
and they must be overthrow,
regardless of party, if this
great Republic would not fail

THE HONEST MONEY ISSUE.

THE HONEST MONEY ISSUE.
While silver spectators and
political demagogues are tire
less in their efforts to mislead
the public on the issue Of
honest money, President Clcve-
land strikes at the very marrow
of the dispute when he says:
Disguise it as we may, the
line of battle is drawn between
the forces Of safe currency and
those of silver monometallism. i"
1t is not, as the silver spec
ulators and demagogues de-
clare. a question of demonetiz-
ing silver. While silver was
nominally demonetizedin 1873.
simply by the omission of the
silver dollar from the list of
standard coins OF the land be-
cause for years it had ceased
to be a circulating medium,
the government has done vast
~ more to aid the circulation
of silver as money since that
time than ever before.
During the first eighty years
of our government, with the
free coinage OF silver and gold,
there were but little over
100000 OF silver dollars
coined, although every ounce
of silver presented to the mint
was coined during that period.
Since the alleged demonetiza-
ton OF silver we have coined
42r, 900. 900 of silver dollars,
but only 56,ooo,o 900 OF that
amount is in circulation. Only
a little more than one-eighth
OF the silver dollars coined by
the countryhave been accepted
by the people as circulating
medium, showing that they
will not have silver beyond a
limited amount.
In addition to this liberal
coinage of the silver dollar we
have issued about $4,000.
ooo of silver certificates. thus
increasing silver as money to
the extent of nearly 100000, =
600 against 5000, 900 of silver
dollars in circulation during the
first eighty years OF the govern.
ment.
Our silver dollars. now
worth about s. cents. are ac-
cepted as money solely because
all parties demand that The
government shall maintain
their value side by side with
gold. In other words. the
free silver spectators and
demagogucs insist that the
government shall make a sill
ser dollar out of 81 cents
worth ~ silver aad then IT,.
deem It 10 gold. While de-
nounting the gold standard.
they insist that the gold stand.
ard shall bc maintained to
bolster the price OF silver. It
IL simply speculation on the
part OF silver producers, and
sheer demagogism on the part
ol Tree silver advocates. unless
their knavery can be excused
on The score of ignorance.
The Tree silver fanatics do
not want himeltallism, Tor
there can be- no bimetalliam
without making the silver coin
equal to the standard gold coin,
The civilized world recognizes
that fact, and We must rccog
niIc II Also or "a once fall back
upon tho silver standard oi the
pagan. What these agitators
want Is silver monometallism ;
that Is, 10 degrade our currency
TO the actual value OF silver,
and thus make the silver
standard that now prevails IN
Mexico and South America,
and in China, India and other
pagan or semi-civilized coun-
tries, not one OF which has
credit or can borrow 4 dollar
without paying two Tor il,
these spectators and dem
agogues want a silver currency
worth half the present money
standard and they appeal to
people who are in debt by
telling them that they can pay

The origin of Group is a common cold.
Children who are subject to it take cold very
