He thinks that he clung to the boat

Both Hall and the barber had labored
industrously. but had not succeeded as
they hoped, although Hall left with S4OO

SIXTEEN TO ONE PUT TO SLEEP.
The Cause of Free Silver Has Lost Ground
During the Last Year.

Tho election of Nov. 8 afforded but
few opportunities TO test the strength Of
the free coinage people since "Coin at
School" became their Bible and "lG to
!" their watchword In every case
where free silver was made the chief
issue the silverites have either been de-
feated or have lost ground since last
year. So unmistakable is the result that
both of the old parties will surely drop
the silver issue in 1896, not only from
their national platform, but from many
Of their state platforms, which hereto
fore have truckled to the free silver ana
cheap money advocates.
Perhaps the best test was made IN
Kentucky, which, for the first time IL
its history, has elected a Republican for
governor. Bradley was elected not be-
cause he was a Republican, but because
he was a sound money man. Hardin
was defeated because he insisted upon
making free silver the issue after his
party had nominated him on a sound
money platform. Kentucky is strongly
Democratic and would have elected
Hardin had he decided to cast his lot
with Carlisle and McCreary, instead Of
with Blackburn. He now goes down
with Blackburn and the other cheap
money demagogues. Whether Senator
Blackburn s successor is a Democrat or
Republican he will not be a silverite.
The next best test was made in the
Eighteenth congressional district OF Hill
nois, where the question Of free silver
was presented squarely iii the views OF
the opposing candidates. Hadley, the
Republican candidate, won by big
majority in a strongly Democratic dis
trict because his opponent stood for free
coinage and was helped, or rather hoo
dooed," by the speeches of Bland and
other leading silvertes. The lesson Will
be wholesome one for the Illinois
Democrats who last spring went oil half
cooked in favor Of free coinage at l6
to l.
Nebraska, Ohio, Mississippi and other
states give no consolation to Bland,
Bryan, Blackburn or the silver mine
owning senators. Sixteen to is put TO
sleep for a generation. May its Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber be as peaceful as has
been that Of greeni ackism during the
past generation.
The free silver swindle will never
again seriously disturb our finances or
cause another panic But unfortunately
much positive work remains TO be done
before we get rid Of fiat money in all
its forms and secure sound and elastic
currency for our commercial interests.

Interest Is the Return on Capital.

Behind tho agitation for 90 cent silver
dollars or no cent paper dollars there is
q strong Populist sentiment which ia
vors the loauing Of money by the govern
ment to the farmers at per cent inter
est. The free coinage advocates find
their strongest support among those who
believe that interest is usury and should
be abolished or reduced to the mere cost
Of issuing paper currency.
What these Populists do not see is the
fact that interest is not really paid for tho
use Of money, but fer the use Of capital.
The money loaned merely serves to con-
vey the capital from its owner to the
borrower. No anti-inierest farmer would
rent his farm for Per cent year. Yet
under the system Of government loans
which he proposes any cne who wished
TO buy farm could borrow the money
at that rate Of interest so DO one would
ever pay more rent than per cent in
terest on the value Of theIrorerty. The
Populist who thinks thai the capital rep
resented by his farm is orth more than
2 per cent n year should be willing to
allow the owners Of other forms Of CAPT
tai such interest as it is worth to any
one who chooses to borrow 1t.

DANGEROUS FINANcIeRiNe.
Tree Coinage of Silver Would Bring Chaos
to tho Commercial World.


II substantial advantages were certain
TO attend the establishment Of the silver
standard in this country, the damage
inseparablo from making the change
would deter all prudent men from step
not unlike committing suicide as 4
remedy for illness A gradual financial
change might possibly be effected with
cut damage, bat sudden and radical
change cannot be made without enor-
nous harm. The free coinage Of silver
would Danish the gold standard almost
Immediately, and the dollar would drop
in q few weeks, or at the most few
months, to about one-half Of its present
value. So sudden n change would bring
the commercial world into q state Of
chaos.
Yet that very change is sought as am
unspeakable blessing by the silver men,
TO owhom the commercial world is an ag-
eregate Of q multitude Of debtors and
small number Of creditors. A reduction
Of tho money unit would scale down
debts, and according to these theorists
would afford debtors happy release
and only injure n small number Of men,
who would remain rich after the sums
duo them had been cut in two.
Every rejecting business man knows
what a caricature such picture Is. AL
most all business is done on a greater or
less basis of credit. and very much of 1t
could not survive anything moro than IA
momeniary suspension Of credit. Any
financial change, or even threat Of 1t,
which would draw deposits from the
banks would deprive them Of the ability
to extend credit and would bring no
small amount of business TO an absolute
stop 1t is only 2iS years since we saw
this thing happen. But in addition to
this the certainty that the value Of the
dollar was to be at once reduced ono
half would dry up every stream Of credit
Who would lend 81 900 TO be repaid in
thousand half dollars? Who would
lend 81, 600 on the gold standard to be
repaid in 81 goo Oh the silver standard!
Were such change in the money unit
imminent there would be a boarding Of
money in every quarter, and loans would
only be affected on suicidal terms, which
would protect the lender from loss by
the change.
Were there such advantages in the
silver standard us its devotees imagine
it is impossible for US TO reach " with
cut causing financial panic and long
prostration Of business beyond anything
we have ever experienced, because the
business Of the modern world cannot be-
done without assuming obligations for
tho future. Credit is absolutely essen
tial, and it il impossible without con-
spicuous degree Of stoadinesS in the
monetary unit, the common denomi-
nator Of values, the measure of deferred
payments. Changes in prices can ho -.
timated. though even these are some
times disastrous. A change in the yalne
Of money from decade TO decade, on even
from year 10 year, within narrow limits
can be provided against, but change
Of one. half or even ono-fourth i'm the
value Of money within few months,
or perhaps few weeks, is more than
business can adapt itself 20. II means
ruin. Iron Age.

Facing 10Th XaXs.

When the Populist press is clamoriDg
for free silver, il claims that low priced
products are an injury to everybody but
the owners OF gold, and that the l6 10 l
swindle would help the people by dou-
bling the price Of everything they buy.
But when the same papers come TO de
nouBce trusts and moDopolies, they do
so on the ground that those combina-
tions Of capital restrict trade and put
up prices Thus the Coal trust has been
generally condemned by the Populists
because it raised the price Of coal 90
cents per ton. But free silver would
make a ton Of coal cost just double
what it is now. II higher prices in the
interest Of trusts is such bad thing,
why would they not be equally bad in
the in 1rests Of the silver barcns!

INTERNATIONAL VALUES.
No One Nation Can Maintain the Relative
Values Of Two Metals.

Question Can the United States
alone maintain bimetallism?
Answer. r.-No.
Question. Why not:
Answer. Because no one nation in
the world can fix and maintain interna-
tional values, and certainly none can fix
and indefinitely maintain the relative
values Of any two metals. If we put ar
bitrary relative values on gold and sill
yer, the one we valued below the price
fixed by supply and demand in the
worlds markets would seek other coun-
tries, where its values and purchasing
power would be greater, while the one
we valued above the market price would
remain with MS and become the standard
of value ty which we conduct our bust
ness.
Question. Are you in favor of the
independent free coinage of silver by
the United Statesi
Answer No; for the reason that
that would infallibly mean silver mon
ometallism.
Question. Why so:
Answer. Because gold is worth 80
times as much as silver in the markets
Of the world today. In other words, an
ounce of gold is worth as much as S9
ounces Of silver, and the United States
cannot change that relative valuation
and permanently maintain such change
by simply passing law that an ounce
of gold shall be worth 1G ounces Of sill
yer and no more, and as one can obtain
in any of the markets Of the world TO-
day more than 500 grains Of standard
silver for % $40 grains of standard
gold our passing a free coinage law that
any one from any part Of the world who
brings Ape grains Of standard silver
to our mint shall receive 81, which. by
law, shall pass current the same as 81
containing % 8 10 grains of standard
gold, would instantly cause gold to be
withdrawn from circulation, and 4121a
grains of silver would thus become the
standard by which the worth cf our dol
lar would be measured - Merchant

LabOrerS Are Beginning to Learn some
Truths About Money.
The attorneys CT the silver mining in
terest have counted largely on the labor
vote. Some months ago there was some
reason for this. But the agitation Of the
subject has wrought change mforma-
tion has been so diffuSed that the stupid
falsehoods of such men as Harvey are 10
longer current. The men who work for
wages are awakening to the iaci that
they are the great creditor cla.s 81 ;hr

They get no money until after they have

which has been injudiciously exploited
by silver men that are employers cf Ia

our toilers. Free coinage would cui IL

GOLD STANDARD STRENGTHENED.
Attacks by silverites Only Serve 10 Estab-
IIsh It More Firmly.

Attacks by SiIterites Only serve to Irta"-
IIsh It More Firmly.
The rabid attacks Of the silyeriies ON
our present honest standard of values
have had the effect Of establishing more
firmly than ever the use Of gold as the
single unit Of value Previous 10 the
recent free coinage agitation great
many people who had given the money
question no attention believed in the
possibility Of double standard. And
as a convenient way Of escaping the
study Of the question they talked vague
" Of international bimetallism, or
the adoption Of silver as standard money
by all the nations Of the world.
The bold front assumed by the 10 10
1 advocates forced the issue Of gold
versus a silver standard upon every citi-
zen. The result has been that the adj
vantaees Of gold and the disadvantages
of silver are now known everywhere.
To refute the silyerite arguments for
cheap dollars it was necessary TO show
the superiority Of gold This was done
so thoroughly that there is no longer
any attempt to show that silver is tho
better standard, and the only plea now
put forward by the free coinage leaders
is their appeal TO the men who want 80
cent dollars with which to pay OIL their
debts.
Every attack on the gold standard,
whether drawn from the experience Of
this or Of other countries, has complete
" failed The great majority Of the
people who previously held no decided
opinions on the question have become
convinced that gold is better than sill
yer, and they will vote down next year
any party or candidates who favor de-
basiug the currency. The boasted free
silver propaganda, which was started
few years ago to convert the country,
has proved 4 great success. But it is
success exactly the opposite Of what the
silver mine owners expected, for it has
made all those who were formerly in
doubt or Indifferent stancb defenders
Of a sound currency based on gold.
