The Asheyille Citizen has made the
best and shortest answcr to the chief
argument that the gold men employ.
The Jacksonville Citizen in the course
of an editorial said:
"if a free coinage law should be
passed silver would come to us from
every country in the world. and
as Judge Aldredgc said, The govern
meut would be fool to undertake
To guarantee the value Of the coin by
trying 10 preserve the parity between
the metals lie illustrated this point
very clearly when he added: IF a
herder should drive lot of cow ponies
through the mint. and they should
he branded 800 horse and then de
liyered 10 the owner at the other end
of the building, it would not improve
the breed of the ponies nor create a
wild demand for them at the brand
price"
This form of stating the question
viii impress itself upon superficial
men as unanswerable. Men who have
never studied the relations of money
to the price of products, and who re-
gard neither past legislation nor the
experience of the ages in regard to
money naturally accept Judge Al
bridges homely illustration. But
those who look at the question in
its largest sense easily detect the fal-
lacy of the comparison. The Ashe-
vile Citizen is most happy in exposing
the one-sidedness of the Judges cat
tie incident. 1t says:
"The Judge went at the problem
wrong end first. If herder should
drive lot of $500 horses through a
government mint and have them
branded spawned" wind broken"
"botts," and the like, how long would
those horses be saleable at $500 each?
The 'sound money" papers continue
to brand the silver dollar as worth
but 50 cents. whereas, it has, after
being knocked down and kicked for
falling, an intrinsic value of about 70
cents in gold. Take the "botts" brand
off the $500 horse and he would go
back to the $500 value. Give silver its
Tx MUM pave do liOlitJ, ny tanning
away government discrimination
against it. and it will appreciate stead
lily. Remember, o, Sound money"
man. the day was when the gold dollar
was at d discount as compared to sill
YER.
As to all the silver coming to the
United States under free coinage
law, why doesn't our silver flow to the
silver countries? To Japan, Mexico,
and the rest? 1t doesn't, and China
had to reach out for and import silver
to pay the Japan war indemnity.
