THE BRITISH SCARECROw.
those who produce and export It, In
short, the whole octopus business, like
the other delectable illustrations in
"Coin's School," is a delusion and q
snare. The worst thing that could happen
to this country would be the ruin OF Eng.
land. No merchant would look with sat
isfaction ON the ruin of his best custom
or.
Another favorite argument of the free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and has grown,
rich by 1t, and that, therefore, it must
be bad for other countries. Let us note
two things in this connection:
First. England first adopted trial by
jury and the writ of habeas corpus. She.
first enforced the principle Of freedom
that no man should be deprived Of life,
liberty or property but by the Judgment
of his peers or the law Of the land,
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
of liberty because they are Of Engfish
origin?
Second. England has prosperen
under the gold standard, why not the
United States? Certainly no country
ever became really prosperous by the
ruin of it's neighbors In the great com
monwealth of nations the prosperity OF
one makes trade with all and helps to
enrich all.-From Everett P. Wheeler's

DEMANDS OF SILVERlTES.
They Ask Moro For Silver Than Has Eve
Boon Granted to Gold.

They Ask Moro For Silver Than Has Ever
Been Granted to Gold.
One Of the claims made by the advo-
Gates Of silver is that the government
should treat both metals alike. How
does the government treat gold? For
every 23.2 grains Of puro bullion de-
posted in the mint the owner receives
a gold dollar weighing IS. s grains and
nine -tenths fine. The government stamp
adds nothing to the value Of the metal
It simply certifes to that value and
puts the metal In form convenient for
use. Everywhere In the world gold thus
coined is worth 81. II you 60 to Eu-
rope, the little piece Of gold is worth
&l> II your house burns down, the little
lump Of gold that was worth 81 pre-
vious to the fire will be worth 81 at any
jewelers. anywhere.
The advocates Of free silver do not
want silver treated this way. Oh, mol
They ask for more. They ask that the
owner OF silver bullion be permitted to
take 1t to the mint and have the govern
ment stamp 87lA grains, with the
necessary alloy, as q dollar Of equal
legal tender with the gold dollar when
today the value Of the bullion in the
dollar Is worth only So cents. They ask
that the government stamp, Its fiat, to
the extent Of Al cents, shall be put Oh
every So cents worth Of silver they take
to the mint. Say the house burns again.
Tho piece of silver worth 81 the night
before because Of the stamp only is only
worth So cents when taken to the jew
ellen. :,
Don't you see that the silver people
are asking more from the government
for silver than was ever granted by any
government in the world for gold? One
metal stamped 81 because Of its value
the world over; the other stamped
81, and worth but SO cents anywhere,
II we are to have fiat money, why not
have 1t all fat, and not AZ cents fiat?
II we are to have fiat money, let 1t be
paper. But the silver people claim that
II the government passes free coinage
Of silver bill silver will immediate
" jump in price from now being worth
b8 cents for s7lA grains to 100 cents
for the same amount. Do you believe

NO GLASS LEGISLATION.
Equal Rights For All, Special Privileges
to Mono.

In a speech delivered before free
silver convention aS Griffin, Ga, Sena-
tor Morgan Of Alabama rehashed the
stale theories Of the silver standard ad-
vocates, and closed his exposition of the
free coinage gospel with the declaration
that the silverites demanded "equal
rights for all, special privileges to
none." This doctrine of equality before
the law is one which appeals to every
fair minded American, and it is the be-
lief that silver is denied privileges
granted to gold which has led many to
support the agitation for free coinage at
16 OF. But there is no ground for such
claim. On the contrary tho proposition
that the government should coin into
money at fixed ratio all the silver Of
this or other countries which might bq
brought to the mints is a direct violation
Of the principles of equal rights
All that the government does for gold
Is to stamp it with certificate Of its
weight and f1neness. The legal tender
quality Of gold coin adds nothing to IT'D
commercial value. If the government
were to stop tho coinage Of gold tomor-
row, the value Of that metal would re-
main the same. And the adoption Of
gold as the standard Of values has not
increased the value Of the products Of
the gold miner. The same could be said
Of silver were it merely proposed to coin
that metal at its true commercial value.
The most extreme "goldbug' Of the sill,
yerite's imagination would not object to
free coinage Of silver dollars if each
coin contained full dollars worth Of
silver. The objection to such action on
the part Of the government is that it
would involve great and useless ex-
pense for mintage, as the commercial
value of silver continually changes, and
it would be necessary to make new coins
whenever silver became cheaper or dear
or. But the demand Of the free silver
advocates is not for the coinage of both
for the unlimited coinage Of silver, worth
only 80 cents, into coins which will
be legal tender in payment for goods OF,
Of debts equal to gold coins, worth twice
as much In other words, they seek to
compel the government to give one class.
the producers of silver, the right to have
tho value Of their products doubled by
setting fictitious value on it. This is
what free coinage at 16 to l really
means, and if adopted it would make
the silver miners a privileged class at
the expense Of the whole people. ..,,
That this is true is recognized by all
the leading Populists, who have de,
manded that the government should 80
farther and give the owners Of staple
farm products the right to have their
crops stored in government warehouses
and to receive money based on them.
In this the Populists are consistent with
their paternalistio views, but very in
consistent with tho Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights The true remedy for
any violation Of this great principle Is
not tho granting Of special privileges to
the farmers as we'll as to silver miners,
but the repeal Of all class legislation
and steadfast opposition to all financial
schemes involving government aid to
any special interest.

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Unlimited Coinage Would Mako America
the Dumping Ground.


the Dumping Ground.
At the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Des Moines on July 10, the Hon.
Joseph R. Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference to the sill
yer question:
Silver being necessary in the money
Of the world, we must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative limita-
ton Of the amount or change the coin
age ratio Of the basis of it's market val
ua Under the policy Of legislative limi-
tation Of the amount, aided by redemp-
tion when In excess Of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
coin. although It's intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
so long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when 1t became reduced, on
account Of overproduction and other
causes, there sprung up demand by the
producers Of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
lized into demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage Of gold and silver at the
ratio Of 18 to 1. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the mints Of the United
States silver in unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free Of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio of 18 to /, bearing
the stamp Of our government.
In my Judgment such a policy will
make America the dumping ground Of
silver for the world. It means we would
be brought at once to silver basis. It
means the degradation Of our dollar to
80 cents It means reputation. It will
bring an avalanche of silver, but a rest
for labor. The Republicans Of Iowa op-
pose this. In the state Of Iowa If we
owe a debt, we expect to pay 1t in money
worth 100 cents on the dollar, in money
Of equal purchasing power with any
other money Of the world. If any one
owes us, we demand and expect pay
ment IN money Of equal value This is
q vital question to all classes. The farm
or, the laborer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, all classes have an interest In
the maintenance Of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur
chasing power and be as good as the best
purchasing dollar in the world. Upon
sound currency depends to large ex-
tent the development, the prosperity,
the success and the maintenance Of our

This record Of crops and prices proves
that instead Of being caused by an in
crease or decrease in the use Of silver
money, the price Of cotton depends in
every case on the relation between sup
ply and demand. Larger crops have re-
suited in falling prices, and when in
few years with an increased crop prices
advanced 1t was the increased European
demand, which meant that the crop was
not larger as compared with oonsump-
tion, which regulated the price. The
record further proves that IN the year
1845, when the silverites claim that sill
yer was the unit Of value. the price OF
cotton in the United States was lower
than at any time in the history of the
country. In view Of these facts we
should hear no more Of the price Of cot
ton as reason for debasing our currency
by puttina 1t on the silver standard.
