The White Metal Champion Defines ~Scien-
tifc Bimetallism."

What we are contenGing for is the
opening Of the Inints to free coinage OF
silver Ihsy are now open to the free and
unlimited coinage OF gold. and have never
been closed to that iuetal), and the estab-
lishment of bimetallism on those simple
and fixed principles that were adopted by
those statesmen who had in view the in
tcrests OF no class, but Of all the people.
What we want is bimetallism- And
scientific bimetallism is this:
'p.-Erec and unlimited coinage OF
both gold and silver; these two metals to
constitute primary or redemption money
OF government.
.2-The silver dollar Of S.l< grains OF
pure silver to be the unit OF value and
gold TO be coined into money, at a ratio TO
be changed If necessary from time to time
if commercial parity to the legal ratio
shall be affected by the action Of foreign
countries
.3-rhe money coined from both met
ais to be legal tender in payment OF all
debts.
1.-The option IS to which OF two
monies is TO be paid in the liquidation OF
debt TO rrst with the debtor, and the gov
crnment also to exercise that option when
desirable when paying out redemption
money"
Harvey then went on to say the gold
was gwen unlimited coinage while silver
Only had restricted coinage: consequently

THAT Option" OE TIE DEBTOR

and Private Eascality.

The professor then took up the ''option"
to pay debts in a cheap" money. He
said: at is usually supposed that free
coinage of silver is in the interest of the
debtor class. 1 think it will be found
quite the contrary. But greater than all
objections is that OF public dishonor and
Reputation. No trick or sophistry can
make the scaling of a debt to me any.
thing but dishonesty anu cheating. Were
free coinage to pass it means that every
depositor in q savings bank, every inves-
tor i'll q loan association, every holder of
life insurance, every recipient of pensions
would have their dues reduced one-h half.
Us it possible that there is something
behind this scheme not really discovered?
Is ii possible that it Is aimed against the
great mass OF the Industrious and really
intended TO serve the interests OF the rich
and great corporations? For instance,
the bonded debt of the rail ways of this
country is about 8. 600 600 OOo. II free
coinage was passed they could pay these
debts with what is now equivalent TO
abou; S3,0O0, ,0oO,0o0. Consequently free
coinage would be legaliz,d fraud. The
mere suspicion of silve. mono-metallism
and change Of prices brought on the panic
of 1873
The proposal for free coinage Is in
truth a huge disease. born in the private

THE LOG DRIVE.
a Man Believed to Have Drowned In the
Pond at Hamilton

Hamilton. May 22.-The pond at the
Bitter Root Development company's
sawmill is well filled with logs from the
drive, which have been arriving for
several days. The drive was made sue
cessfully this season and without any
serious accident. 1t is believed, how
ever, that Billy Burke, a log man who
has worked in the pond here. was
drowned Friday noon and that his
body is somewhere beneath the logs
which cover the surface of the pond.
The last that was seen of him was
Friday noon, when his fellow workmen
saw him leave the upper end of the
pond, where they were working, to
get his dinner. All the others had
brought lunch with them. Burke had
been in the habit of leaving his peebe
stick and riding down the pond on a
log using a rough pole. in order to
avoid carrying his stick back and
forth. Since then he has not been seen.
Search has been made for his body, but
without success, the work being very
difficult on account of the large num-
Der OF logs in the pond.
