THE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.

#. T. Geer, Of Marion county, and
Sidney Dell, a Portland lawyer, have
been having running debate on the
siiver question. The Oregonian has
got tired Of Il and shut It off. We
print, elsewhere, Mr.. Dell's reply to
Mr. Geer, in which the latter asserted
that silver is now just as good legal
tender dollar as gold. 1t is true, as Mr..
Geer says, that a silver dollar will now
pay a gold dollar debt, but II Cleveland
should be unable to borrow any more
gold, what then? If he fails to borrow
gold TO carry our silver, which is only
token money now-not legal tender
money on its own account-Mr. Geer
oould not pay gold dollar debt with
\ sllver dollar, any more than he can
now give note payable In silver do =
lars. The trouble with token money is
that IL Is a credit money, and the mole
the country has the bigger the demand
for gold. The greatest trouble with tde
present financial system IL that we are
trying to float twelve to sixteen hun
dred millions OF credit and token
money on the slender pinnacle Of
$lO0,0O0,OOO gold reserve, while the
administration and the money certeis
are trying to discredlt all our money
but gold and national bank notes.
The unfortunate combination under
one administration OF an extreme gold
monometalist policy Of the treasury,
coupled with an adverse balance Of
trade with a syndicate buying the
gold at the mines virtually at a prem.
iun, and banks boarding the gold Of
private individuals-the gold crash can
easily be preclpitated. Ifit is warded
off, IL is only done at the sacrifice of
all other values to meet gold demands.

Chargeabie to the Silver Agitation.

Every holder of land, bonds, notes,
securities or property of any kind, which
has decreased in value since Jan. 1,
1898, can justly charge the greater part
of this loss to the friends of silver F"
Every laborer thrown out Of employ
ment during this time, or who has suf-
fered reduction of wages as a result of
this panic, can justly charge his loss of
wages to the same source.
These disasters are made none the less
cruel and oppressive by the fact that the
silver party did not intend the result
This country has suffered as much and
perhaps more from the "free silver"
movement than it would have suffered
from great foreign war, excepting
the loss of life. The losses of war in a
just cause might not only be borne with
fortitude, but be considered glorious
sacrifices. The losses Of property and
wages which have come from an "hon-
est" effort to "help silver" and the sill
yer miners are as real as those of war
and must be borne under the conviction
that they are the result of an inconceiv-
able folly.-R. Weissinger in "What Is

Building and Loan Associations In Danger


A remarkable feature Of the past 20
years has been the great increase in the
number of associations formed by work
men for the purpose of securing houses,
or for investing their savings in i'm
proved real estate. This method of util-
izing series of weekly or monthly pay
ments for the purchase Of property has
proved so successful that there are now
thousands of loan associations, with
hundreds of thousands of members.
To every man who has invested his
savings in a building and loan society
the threat of free silver coinage is of the
greatest Importance. Openly advocated
as a method of enabling debtors to cheat
their creditors out of half their debts,
the evil of 80 cent dollars would prove
especially severe ON those whose little
capital is loaned out through these asso-
Citations. Under free silver the borrow
ers would pay off their debts in dollars
worth but half of those loaned. This
would mean the practical confiscatiOn
of one-haf of all the money which the
workingmen have with years Of self
denial managed to save. Do the Amer
lean people wish to enact law which
would perpetrate 80 great an injustice2

Pennsylvania For Sound Money.

In spite of the efforts of a small clique
Of silverites in Philadelphia the Repub-
lican state convention Of Pennsylvania
adopted a platform which declares
strongly and clearly against the free
coinage delusion. After indorsing inter
national bimetallism the plank reads as
follows:
We oppose the debasement of the ma
tional currency by the admission of sill
yer to free and unlimited coinage at the
rate of 16 to 1, for the reason that if
such a policy be adopted it will not be
possible to maintain the parity of values
of the two metals, and the purchasing
and debt paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper, cannot
continue to be equal

A BIMETALLIST'S OPINION.
DIR. Andrews of Brown University Answers
Pertinent Question.

Pertinent Question.
Perhaps the most scholarly, intellec-
tual and honest of the bimetallists is the
president of Brown university. He was
one Of the delegates from this country to
held at Brussels in 1892 and is an ar
dent advocate of the wider use of silver
But he sees the folly and danger of at
tempting the impossible-at least when
one nation attempts it single handed.
The following is DR.. Andrews reply,
published in the Chicago Record, to the
question, "Shall the United States at
tempt the free coinage of silver alone?'
'If we take up the metal alone, and
that course results as l should antici-
pate in the expulsion of gold, we shall
have in the first place financial crisis
worse than any ever suffered in the
country. This because we cannot in a
long time, even by working our minis
day and night, coin silver enough to
take the place which would be vacated
by gold. Prices would surely fall. I'm
mense numbers Of failures would occur.
Laborers would be thrown out of work.
Altogether dreadful paroxysm in our
business would be precipitated Slowly
the gap left by gold would be filled by
the mining and coinage of silver. Prices
would then gradually RISE At last they
would become higher than now, more
and more approaching the Mexican and
Japanese level
"But consequence far worse than
any of these would be that our passage
to silver basis would erect against for
eign exchange between Europe and the
United States just such barrier as now
exists between Europe and Mexico. 1t
would annihilate all fixed par between
New York and London, repeating the
terrible inconvenience in our European
exchanges which we suffered in war
times when we were upon a paper
basis. "

THE POPULIsT's PRIDE.


1t was broiling hot day in July, but
despite the torrid rays of the sun and
the blasting hot prairie winds the farm
ers for miles around Saharaville, Sock
less county, Kan. had gathered at the
great free silver convention.
Who is it they regard so intently on
this day of all days, marking point by
point his arguments-that slight, boy
ish figure that is the cynosure of all
eyes? 1t is he, our hero, Free Silver
Sam, the Boy Bimetallist. He is rush
ing in where presidential candidates
fear to tread
The careless onlooker, if such there
was, noting the superb whiskers of Free
Silver Sam, that swept the ground as
the impassioned orator piled argument
upon argument, instance upon instance
and precept upon precept, would hardly
think that but 10 scorching Kansas sum-
mers had passed Ger his head.
Yet it was only too true!
Listen He is speaking.
"And, after all this, President Cleve-
land claims that silver is not sound
money. Hear this
On the small slab of marble ON the
table top before him he drops a large
cartwheel dollar. With a Ginning
"cling' it rings clear as bell, spins a

average circulation of TAI. In the mid
die west and northwest these supple
ments are used by GA papers, whose aver
age circulation is little more than
1000.
Sound currency literature already set
and stereotyped, what is called "plate''
matter, has been supplied to and used
very freely by SOB papers with an aver
age circulation of 1 400 and an agpre-
gate circulation of 1874, 400, and of these
there are in the southeast and southwest
FOG, with an aggregate circulation of
2S1, 200. A large supply of cartoons
has also been prepared and is being
freely used. The majority of the publi-
cations of the club have been illustrat-
ed, and less than third of them have
been of that literary or statistical char
acter which is supposed to be unaccept-
able to the average man. The publica-
tions, as whole, have been of very
popular character. Their numbers are
summed up as follows:
Sound Currency SERIES Sc, 900
-
Plate matter, pages. 500, 900
Reprints and miscellaneous documents

Speeches of Carlisle and Others not in
Guiding the much greater number
lately furnished at the expense of
other parties. ........................ 800. 900
Ao0ai lO7, 900
The influence of this work on the
public sentiment of the south and west
is already apparent The literature of
the club has been reproduced at second
and third and fourth hand and is found
in papers that probably are not aware
that they are using portions of Reform
Club documents.
The Reform Club has not insulted the
south by trying to substitute its papers
or buy up its politicians. 1t has sought
to give information to the people, and
it has certainly succeeded remarkably
in the wide and effective distribution Of
sound currency literature.

"How Would That Help Your,

how would that help you?
The adoption of the silver standard,
which is what the free coinage advocates
really want, would drive 5000, 900, 900
of gold out of the country. How would
that help you?
Putting the country on silver basis
would double the price of everything

The first result of free coinage would
be widespread panic, through the call
ing in Of loans by lenders who were
afraid Of cheap money. A panic means
business depression, bankruptcy and
poverty. How would that help you?
The agitation for cheap money is
hampering trade and industry by max
ing owners of idle capital afraid to in
vest their money in business. How does
that help you?
If you have money in the savings
bank, or loaned out at interest, the val
ne of your deposit or loan will under
free silver be only half Of what it is
now. How will that help you?
Adopting the silver standard Of China
and India would unsettle our trade rela-

Two-thirds of our southern cotton
crop, valued at $500, 900, 900, is sold in
Europe to gold standard countries, and
the price is mainly fixed in Liverpool on
gold basis. If the United States adopts
free coinage without international agree
ment, the gold standard price for cotton
would remain exactly the same. The
southern farmer above all others is vi
tally interested in sound money, or the
dollar that has the largest purchasing
power, for his cotton is 'good as gold"
