Shows the Conspiracy.

1t has been repeatedly denied that
the Secretary of the Treasury ever de-
clined to pay out silver in exchange
for gold. The following extract in re-
Spouse 10 Il resolution of Congress call
ing for a report on same on the part Of
John G.. Carlisle is quoted verbatim:
Treasury Department, Office of the Sec
rotary, Washington, ID. c.. Aug. L. 1893.
In further response to the resolution |
have to say that recently gold coin has
been presented TO the Office of this
department and silver dollars asked in ex-
change therefor, and that the exchange
was not made for the reason that all the
silver dollars in the treasury Mt the time
were required. under the provisions of tho
law relating to the currency, to be held
in the treasury to cover outstanding sill
yer certificates and treasury notes issued
under the act of July IA, 1890. At pres
ent the department would not and could
not exchange silver dollars for gold coin
if requested to do so by holders of gold,
for the same reason. But if the condition
of the funds of the treasury were such as
To afford a margin of silver dollars in eX-
cess of silver certificates and treasury
notes outstanding. such change would be
made. Respectfully yours.

greSs it should be understood that their
declaration was clearly and unequivo-
cally in favor OF free and unlimited
coinage. The following is the resolu-

Resolved, That we favor the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at an agreed ratio, guarded
by an import duty on foreign bullion

Bryan on Bimetallisru.

W. j. Bryan. in speech ut Shelby
Vile, Ind, defined bimetallism as mean
ing the use OF gold and silver as stand
ard money, with equal privileges at the
mint and equal legal-tender qualities,
with silver not redeemable in gold, nor
gold In silver. but that the metals
should stand side by side in supporting
commerce. Silver money should not be
mere promise to pay some other kind
OF money, but real money, capable
of discharging contracts payable in
money. The ratio 10 to /, he said,
means that n silver dollar shall weigh
sixteen times as much as gold dollar;
that the debt-paying power of an ounce
of gold shall be sixteen times that of
an ounce of silver. The reason for
coming silver is not because the cOun-
Try produces it, but because the country
needs it TO form a basis for our cur
rency. 1t is n practical necessity, rath-
er than Il theory, because there is not
sufficient gold. The use of both metals
as standard money gives a uniform vol
ume OF currency and a more stable dol
lar, just as river fed from two
streams is more uniform in volume
than Il river having but one feeder.
