A year ago the man most talked OF
in America was J. 8. Coxey, who, with
his ragged army, had marched to
Washington to demand the issue Of
$500, 900. 900 in greenbacks. Coxey's
financial schemes were no wilder than
those which were exploited in Con-
gress by Populist and free coinage or
ators; in fact, they were more sensi-
BILE than most Populistio schemes.
But Coxey's glory has faded, and he is
now only one OF the crowd of cheap
money shouters. A new star has arisen
and instead OF Coxey we have "Coin"
as d Moses to lead us, not to Washing
ton, but to the land Of prosperity via
the silver dollar route. A year hence
Join will have gone the way Of Coxey.
In these enlightened days we see
again large numbers Of people deluded
by promises OF wealth TO be had with
out working for it. Coxey and Har-
vey, Bryan and Stewart, with host

bles which catch the popular eye with

films of soft money soap, filed with
free coinage and fiat money gas, and

In the BEGINNING.

Our fathers in 1892 intended to es-
tablish neither ''bimetallis m, I"
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 "of the value
Of the Spanish milled dollar as the
same is now current" thus 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 'sof 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 bulletinsd by
thelaw in accord with the Constitution
al provision ito 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 ef-
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,

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, "An Honest Dollar, I" says
that the world is billions Of dollars
poorer because OF the gold standard.
Nov, if that statement means anything,
it means that the-e are billions OF dol
lars worth less Of houses, railroads, YES
sells, factories, clothing, furniture,
etc., in existence than there would be
under 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 DEMONETTzED.

The charge that silver was demon
etized'-that is, that it ceased to b
money in 1873-has bee 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: ut is true that we
have far more silver money than when
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
tifcates 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 and
therefore on an equality with gold. But
they pretend that the Government re-
deems silver in gold, and that a silver
currency ismerely 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.
1t is easy to show that all the talk
about redemption money" is founded
on 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 an
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
mcnts about 'the crime Of 1873 by
which silver was demonetized."

Tho Silver Tongued Orators Queer
Ideas.

AQ68Hs
Ex- Congressman W. J.. Bryan, d
Nebraska, Is one Of the foremost free
silver orators Of the country. He il
regarded as an authority by all thu
free coinage advocates and was theil
leader in the late House Of Repre-
sentatives. During the past fonl
months he has been travelling through
the West and South preaching the
gospel Of cheap dollars and demanding
the coinage Of all silver at ratio Of
16 to ]. It is therefore Of interest to
know the nature of his arguments in
favor Of q debased currency.
In his long speech at Memphis,
Tenn, delivered on the day after SEQ
rotary Carlisle's mastery address at
the sound money conference in that
city. Mr.. Bryan tried to reply to the
Secretary's statement OF honest money
principles. His remarks consisted al
most entirely Of attacks on the Secre-
tary's record on the silver question,
but at last be got down to the doc
trines of the silverites. Speaking OF
their proposal to coin at aratio OF is
to ! silver which is actually valued
at 50 to l, he said: "They THE
sound money men) soy that you can.
not put value in thing by process Of
law. You also cannot tell which way
water will run, but you can dig q
ditch and make it run any way you
want to. *s Whenever the
Government says we will stamp dol
lar on 4123 grains OF silver, that min
ute that much silver will be worth 81
anywhere in the world, the same as it
will be here at home, less the cost Of
transporting it."
Here in nutshell is the fundamen-
tai fallacy Of the silverite. 1t is the
error on which is based the delusion
OF the fat money men, the idea that
the Governments stamp can give
value to an article. And how wild is
this notion can be seen from Bryan's
claim that by merely digging a ditch
you can make water run any way
you want to-" Indeed! Can you
make it run up hill contrary to natur-
al laws? Mr.. Bryan says ''any way"
but every sensible man will laugh at
him. And it is just as ridiculous to
pretend that merely stamping 412a
grains Of silver zone dollar" will
double its real value.
The point at issue whether Gov.
srnment's stamp can create values)
IAN be very easily settled. Mexico
stamps 4l7.79 grains Of silver zone
dollar" Now what are the facts, as
known to everyone? Are Mexican
dollars worth one dollar anywhere in
he world" less the cost OF transport
ing them to Mexico? OF course not.
They are worth only three cents. And
hat would be about the real value Of
,ur dollars in other countries under
rec coinage.
The value OF silver, as OF all labor
PRODUCTS, depends on the demand for
I and its cost Of production. Mark
ng ii with the word dollar" or
pound" cannot add to its real value,
md it 10 only men who believe that by
ligging bitches we can make water
un ''any way" who are fooled into
linking otherwise. The common
ense public will know howto estimate
he pretended "Anancier," Mr.. Bryan.

Would This Be Fair2

Free silver coinage means granting
the privilege to every holder Of silver
bullion, resident and PRESIDENT, TO
take his bullion to the United States
Mint and have it coined into standard
dollars free Of cost, Is the holder Of
gold bullion does. Any one can buy
silver bullion at less than seventy
GENTS an ounce. That ounce converted
mo coin would have q face value Of
1920. But the holder OF gold bullion
when be takes 100 cents worth Of his
bullion to the mint to coin, can only
get 100 cents worth of coin. The gold
