FOR a NEW DOLLAR
A DETROIT REPUBLICAN ORGAN
HAS A -PANACEA

For All Our E1nanc'a lfls-Use Both Gold
and S'lver-one Metal Expected to just
Balance the Other in Fluctuation-Illi-
nois Democrats Will Declare in Favor
of Free Silver.
DETROIT, May 1.-The Tribune
(Rsp.) publishes an editorial leader
which will declare i'll favor of the sosu-
ton OF the present money question by
the Issuance of new dollar to be COM
posed OF proportional parts of gold and
silver. The article quotes the national
platforms of 1888 and 1892 in favor of
olmetalhsm and points out the dangers
OF practical silver monometallism
through the throwing open of the mints
TO unlimited coinage. Continuing The
Tribune advocates the composite dollar
Us measure easiest to effect and with
the least disturbance to business of any
plan suggested, 1t proposes:
THAT ali existing coinage laws be re.
peaied and that there be enacted a law
creating anew American dollar, which
should become the standard coin of the
nation, this dollar to be composed of
.vol4 grams OF standaH1 silver and
IL $40 grains of standard gold, fused
together and struck into handsome
coin about the size of the present half
dollar.
1.-The coin would be OF absolutely
stable value, for in case of disparity at
any time in the commercial value of
silver, what was lost by the depreoia-
ton of one metal would be made up by
the exactly corresponding appreciation
of the other.''
AS to the question whether the pro-
posed dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, The Tribune says: 1t would not
be necessary to export the coin while
unco.ned gold could be secured which
would be just as available. If at any
time it became necessary to separate
the gold from the silver it could be
done at the United States mint at cost
of less than l per cent. This very cost
would be precaut.on against the ex-
port of coin while uncoined bullion was
attainable.

ILLINOIS FOR SILVER.
Sensation Caused by Statements Made b,
Hon. .Ioln AIaxo I,almer

Sensation Caused by Statements Made by
Hon. John Mayo Palmer.
CHICAGO, April 29.-The most sensa-
tional politicrl development for many a
day i'll Chicago, if not in the entire
West has been made public. The com.
ing Democratic convention in Illinois,
will, beyond all doubt, declare for free
silver without international agreement
of any kind, and the movement is OF
such strength that other Western and
Southern States will be prevented with
great difficulty, if at all, from following
the lead of Illinois. AS party, the
Democracy OF Illinois is doomed to dis.
organization. The authority for these
statements is Hon. John Mayo
Palmer, corporation counsel of Chi.
cago, and one OF the best known Demo.
Gratis in the state. He is not free
silver man. On the contrary he has q
reputation with the more pronounced
silver element as decided "gold bug -
Mr.. Palmer is the son of United States
Senator Palmer, who has been leading
the money fight for the national admin.
istration in Illinois. The statements
We're made in an interview and the
news caused
Widespread Comment and Speculation.
Mr.. Palmer returned to Chicago from
the state capital. He said:
'The sentiment in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, without international
conference or agreement, seems tc
have taken complete possession. OF
the Democracy of Illinois outside OF
Cook county. conferred with men OF
all shades of opinion upon this subject,
Republicans as well as Democrats, !
talked with Republicans, because some
times the lookers-on see more of the
game than the players. 1 met old
friends with whom could talk conf
dentially, and got the impression that
while there is a very strong and re-
spectacle sentiment throughout the
state in opposition to this currency
theory, yet the opponents of 16 to l.,
are without organization, apparently
without any ambition to succeed, and
are singularly silent, while the silver
men are vigorous, active and aggressive.
