Unlimited Coinage ,wouid Make America
the Dumping Ground.

At the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Des Moines on July 10, the Hon.
Joseph R. Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference to the sill
YER question
Silver being necessary in the money
of tho world, we must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative limita-
tion of the amount or change the coin
age ratio of the basis of its market val
ne. Under the policy of legislative limi-
tation of the amount, aided by redemp-
ton when in excess of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
coin, although its intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
so long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when it became reduced, on
account of overproduction and other
causes, there sprung up demand by the
producers of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
LIKED into demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio of l6 to l. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
W ucpOSlt db thC hiutS " tuc OulUCu
States silver in unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free Of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio of l6 to /, bearing
the stamp of our government.
In my Judgment such a policy will
make America the dumping ground of
silver for the world. 1t means we would
be brought at once to a silver basis 1t
means the degradation of our dollar to
so cents 1t means reputation. 1t will
bring an avalanche of silver, but rest
for labor. The Republicans of Iowa OPP
pose this In the state of Iowa if we
owe debt, we expect to pay it in money
worth 100 cents ON the dollar, in money
of equal purchasing power with any
other money of the world. If any one
owes us, we demand and expect pay
ment in money Of equal value. This is
a vital question to all classes The farm
er, the laborer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, all classes have an interest in
the maintenance of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur-
chasing power and be as good as the best
purchasing dollar in the world Upon q
sound currency depends to large ex-
tent the development, the prosperity,
the success and the maintenance Of our
people

DEMANDS OF SlLvERlTES.
They Ask More For Silver Than Has Ever
Been Granted to Gold.

One of the claims made by the advo-
Gates Of silver is that the government
should treat both metals alike. How
does the government treat gold? For
every 1872 grains Of pure bullion de-
posted in the mint the owner receives
gold dollar weighing 25.S grains, and
nine-tenths fine. The government stamp
adds nothing to the value of the metal.
1t simply certifies to that value and
puts the metal in form convenient for
use. Everywhere in the world gold thus
coined is worth 81. If you go to Eu-
rope, the little piece of gold is worth
81. If your house burns down, the little
lump of gold that was worth 81 pre-
vious to the fire will be worth 81 at any
jewelers. anywhere.
The advocates Of free silver do not
want silver treated this way. Oh, mol
They ask for more. They ask that the
owner of silver bullion be permitted to
take it to the mint and have the govern
ment stamp 371H grains, with the
necessary alloy, as q dollar of equal
legal tender with the gold dollar when
today the value Of the bullion in the
dollar is worth only 53 cents. They ask
that the government stamp, it's fat, to
the extent of AZ cents, shall be put on
every 81 cents worth of silver they take
to the mint. Say the house burns again.
The piece of silver worth 81 the night
before because of the stamp only is only
worth SO cents when taken to the jew
eler.
Don't you see that the silver people
are asking more from the government
for silver than was ever granted by any
government in the world for gold? One
metal stamped 81 because Of its value
the world over; the other stamped
81, and worth but 53 cents anywhere.
If we are to have fiat money, why not
have it all fiat, and not AZ cents fiat?
If we are to have fiat money, let it be
paper But the silver people claim that
if the government passes q free coinage
Of silver bill silver will Immediate
ly jump in price from now being worth
53 cents for 371H grains to 100 cents
for the same amount Do you believe
it? Some people are almost willing to
believe that the moon is made of green
cheese. Humboldt (Tenn. Messenger.

After all, the weekly papers are the ones
through which to reach the people as amuse-
Eent managers and business men sooner or
later find out. The daily has its place. 1t
is hastily read and thrown aside by village
or city readers. The weekly goes to the
farm as well as town homes, is read by all,
and many times is then filed away for flu
ture reference. People generally have more
confidence in the statement of weekly news
papers than Of dailies, as more care is taken
in all departments of such publications.
