ANSWER TO "COIN''-A REVIEW.

fishers, A. B. Sherwood Publishing
company, of Chicago, a copy of
STANLEY Woods Answer to Coins
Financial School" It is designated
"The official book" from which we
can only infer that it 10 the recog-
nized official reply Of the "honest-
money" advocates to Coins school.
We propose to review some Of the
important propositions of this book,
presuming it to present the argu-
ments chiefly relied upon IN support
Of the gold-stsndsrd side Of the sub
ject. In making this review we shall
select our points in the order of their
arrangement in the book.
At the beginning of chapter I. Mr..
Wood quotes Coins statement Of the
condition of the country, which he
proceeds to question, and attempts to
show that Coins picture is purely
imaginary. It is proper here to state
that we do not share Coins opinion
that the demonstration of silver is
the cause of the evils to which he re-.
fers In the paragraph quoted by Mr..
Wood; nor do we believe That the
unlimited coinage Of silver would
materially affect these conditions for
the better. Their causes lie far
deeper than the demonstration of
silver, and it will require far more
radical remedies to cure them than
the restoration OF silver as q money
metal. It is not, therefore, with
view Of making any defense Of Coin,
nor of offering any argument in be-
half Of the free coinage of silver as a
remedy for existing conditions that
we undertake this review. Oar main
purpose is to point out some of the
errors of the book, and likewise the
deceptions which run through it's
several chapters. There is no surer
indication of a weak cause than to
find its supporters relying upon false
statements and deceptive methods to
bowlster it up.
Mr.. Wood starts out by displaying
the maxim in large black type upon
an otherwise blank leaf following the
title page, "HONESTY rs THE
BEST POLICY" The maxim is un-
doubtedly a good one to adopt as q
guiding principle, but its display in
this manner by a gold.standard sd-
vocate at the beginning of reply to
a book which Is causing the goldites
as much tribulation as "Ooin's Finsn-
cial School" appears to be is a cir
cumstance in itself which should
cause the reader to examine the fol-
lowing pages with a critical eye. A
writer who is perfectly honest in his
purposes and methods does not
usually need to thus label his pro-
ductions.
! In the very first chapter Of this
The advocate., 1895-05-29

AAOAn OAO AoAAA SV VO4S4y UASt1@ySNO
Instead Of showing that the evils
enumerated by Coin are owing TO
other causes than the demonstration
Of silver, MIR. Wood denies their ex-
istence. In this he either displays
his own ignorance or presumes too
much upon the ignorance of the peo-
pie. he says:
OOxeyB army soon disbandsd, the Chi
Osgo riots are thing Of the past, and the
governments at Washington still lives.
But the causes which produced
Ooxey's army and the Chicago riots
still remain, and as Coin observes:
Tens Of thousands are out Of employ
ment, the jails, penitentaries, warehouses;
and insane asylums are full. Taxes
have assumed the importance Of q mort
gage; y -" business is paralyzsd; COM
merOe is at a standstill; riots and strikes
prevail throughout the land, etO.
It is worse than useless for Mr..
Wood to ignore these conditions. It
is not to his credit or the credit of his
cause to deny their existence. "Hon-
esty is the best policy" and man
who is seeking to convince honest
men of the truth Of his contention
makes a bad beginning when he de-
MES the existence of things Of which
his readers are conscious from their
own observation and experience. The
evils which Coin enumerates are not
of recent origin as Mr.. Wood as
sumes, nor are they of the tsmpor-
ary character he sscribes to them.
They had their beginning long ago,
and have been assuming greater
magnitude year after year; and when
he says, on page 80, that "the coun-
try was never in q stronger, more
prosperous or more progressive con-
dition than in the years of 1891 and
1892" he states what every person of
the most ordinary intelligence and
the most limited observation knows
to be absolutely untrue. The labor
reports of these very years show
million of men out Of employment
and trsmplng in search of work
which was nowhere to be found.
Senator Ingalls,, in his speech IN the
United States senate January IA,
1891, spoke the truth when he said:
I believe, myself, that upon q fair cash
market valuation the aggregate wealth Of
this country TO day is not less than 1000
millions of dollars. This is enough, Mr..
President, TO make every man and every
woman and every child beneath the flag
comfortable, TO keep the wolf away from
the door; it ia enough 20 give TO every fam
lily competence. And yet we are told that
there are thousands of people who never
have enough to eat in any one day in the
year. We are told By The statistioians Of the
department Of labor Of the United States
that, Notwithstanding this stupendOus sg-
gregation, there are a million American
citizens, able bodied and willing TO work,
who tramp the streets Of our cities and the
country highways and bywsyS in search Of
labor with which 10 buy their daily bread in
vain.

hunger and want, Of destitution and
despair. If this indicates prosperity,
then let us have little adversely for
change.
On page 19, referring to Coins
claim that these evils have fallen
upon us as a consequence of the de-
monetization Of silver twenty years
ago. Mr.. Wood says:
Forty years ago, according 10 history,
silver was demOnetized. The nation pros
pered greatly during the first bWonty years
Of shat period, therefore, I can argue with
as much force as Coin that the demonebiza-
tiOn Of silver was the cause Of that prosper
ity.
AS it is no part of our purpose to
enter into the argument in support
of Coins theories, it is sufficient here
to merely consider the question of
fact. Mr.. Wood makes the bare un-
supported statement that silver was
demonetized "forty years ago accord
ing to history" The statement is so
msnifestly false that it is only necss-
ssry to mention it to show the design
of the author. On page 28 he re-
sfirms and itslicises the statement.
He says:
The real demOnetizatiO9 of stlUcr dollars
took place in 1853, tlOeDty yeGrs before the at
legged demOnetizdtGOD In 1873.
The act of 1853 tried and condemned the
criminal, and, after twenty years of waits
ing FOR repdeve, she execution took place
in 1873.
It is sufficient answer to all this that
the act of 1853 does not mention the
silver dollar at all nor affect it 10 any
way whatever.
On page 20 it is said:
When the ''crime" Of 1873 was committed
by demonetizlng the silver dollar, there
were no silver dollars in circulation to de-
mOnetizs.
If the writer had observed his
maxim here he would have added
nor were there any gold dollars in
circulation" The people were doing
business then with paper money and
we're getting along very well without
either metal.
On page 43 we find this old chest
nut:
Remember that there are more than
four hundred millions Of silver dollars in the
United States sreasury, and the govern
ment "psys the freight" on all you want of
it, and yet only q paltry 6fty.s six millions
were in circulation last year.
Remember also that there are no
silver dollars in the United States
treasury that are not represented by
silver certificates outstanding, and
the above statement could only have
been intended to be misleading.
On page AZ it is said:
The memory of some men is short, and
when 60 80 far back as 1893 and say the
fear Of silver payments brought on the
panic, they will not be able tc remember
the fact.
Mr.. Woods memory is evidently
very short or he would remember
that the panic of 1893 was the result
of a deliberately planned conspiracy
