The sound currency committee Of the
Reform club has just issued short
pamphlet entitled Free Coinage Dis
sected." 1t puts the case against free
coinage in the clearest possible light,
and the language is so simple and the
sentences so short that no ordinary me-
chanic or farmer need have any difficulty
in understanding the discussion. Ex-
Congressman John De Witt Warner, the
author Of the pamphlet, dissects in turn
each Of the principal claims Of the free
coinage advocates.
Many excellent answers to "Coin's
Financial School" have been written.
but heretofore there has been no first
class pamphlet to put into the hands Of
the millions who have not read COINS

ested III the currency discussion, and
who will be glad to get in this con-
densed form not only the principal Oh
jections to "Coin's" book, but to the
whole question of free coinage at 16 to /.
The pamphlet is we'll adapted for gen.
eral distribution and merits wide cir
culation by the friends Of honest money
in all sections Of the country. It is No.

GOLD STANDARD IN CHILE.
Convinced the Silver Standard Is a Fa
ure-To Sand With Other Nations.

Convinced the Silver Standard Is a Fail
ure-To Sand With Other Nations.
In spite of the warning of silverite
statesmen the prosperous republic OF
Chile has abandoned the cheap silver
basis for her currency and has adopted
the gold standard Chile is one Of the
most enlightened and progressive Of the
South American countries, and her &C.
ton is an evidence that she has found
the silver standard to be failure and
wishes to be in accord with the major
ity of the great commercial nations with
which she trades. As all her outstand-
ing loans, both principal and interest,
are payable in gold the change in the
standard will cause but little confusion,
and financial interests arc already adj
justed to the new basis.
While Chile adopts the gold standard
Of value, the same as in this country,
she will continue the use Of silver, and
tho banks will be authorized to issue
paper currency somewhat on the plan Of
our national bank system. Only as much
silver will be coined as can be MAIN
tanned at parity with gold. The result
of tho change will be to give the bust
ness interests of the country stable
financial system, which will doutless be
of great advantage to it in it's competi-
ton with silver standard countries.
It is now in order for our silverites to
denouncc the horrible crime of 1895, by
which the wicked goldbugs secretly de-
stroyed the prosperity of Chile.
