THERE should be nothing in the
mere condition of party opposition, to
cause personal animosity between po-
litical competitors and inspire contest
ing candidates with personal hatred. If
any man of any party is put up for a
public office, is what he ought to be, he
should command the respect and eS-
TEEN even of those who do not agree
with his political views. Certainly
there is no justification for the scurril-
ity and low and personal abuse, which
is so common with some people and
some papers, against honorable men
who are aspiring to positions of public
honor. 1t is time this method of cam
paigning was shut down upon, and that
the mudslinger was made back num-
Der. 1t is time that men and papers
who berate decent men who are candi-
dates, as thieves and drunkards, etc.,
should be considered and made disrep-
utable and unworthy of countenance or
support

support

JAS. r. TELLER, commenting upon
statements made by Prof. Laughlin, in
the debate with w. II. Harvey, Friday
evening last, gave some wholesome
truths in Sundays Inter Ocean. In
closing his article he says:
"The professor chooses to aScribe the
present demand for bimetalliSm to the
selfishness of mine owners and the dis
honesty of debtors. If from his chair
in the university he has obtained no
broader view of the subject than this,
he has sadly missed his opportunities.
If he is honest in his opinion, it must be
that he is ignorant of the worldwide
movement toward bimetallIsm. Or does
he think, perchance, that BalfOur, Lid
derdale, Archbishop Walsh, and the
host of statesmen and financiers in Eng
land and on the continent who are de-
handing the re-mOnetiZatiOn of silver
are in the pay of the mine owners
Are the British Parliament and the
German ReichStag also bureaus fol-
bulling the price of silver?" And
what shall we say of those misguided
economists, some of whom enjoyed a
world wide reputation as teachers, while
our professor was an undergraduate
who are fighting the battle of bimetal'
ism? Are they in league with the sill
yer barOns or with the dishonest debt
Ors? Truly the cause Of gold is weak
when its defenders must needs violate
the elementary principles of monetary
science, deny facts which are patent tC
the whole world, and reduce the great
question of standards to matter OF
personal interest and motive in order
to make case in its support

What Is Sound Money?

We are not among the misanthropic
multitude who believe that all human
beings, and especially those of the op-
posite political party, are selfish schem-
ers. But we do believe that unless a
man be exceptionally broad minded and
liberal, his business associations and in
terests have a tremendous influence in
shaping his views. This is especially
Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1894-1895, 1895-05-24

WE have always been taught that in
all things, "hOnesty is the best policy.
Yet we see those editors who are OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver, re-
iterate week after week, falsehood,
in the statement that those in favor of
free silver, are mOnemetalliStS. We
believe in, and advocate, a double stand

true of mans views of the financial
question, and yet there are many absO-
lutte sincere believers in the single stand
ard who are not influenced by selfish
reasons, but who, from lack of study
and keen diScriminatlve thought, have
jumped to the conclusion that what is
so widely advertised as sound money
must be sound. There is nothing the
average business man detests SO much
as insecurity, and the gold advocates
made sharp, unpraise- worthy. political
move when they appropriated the name
''sound money" for their industry-de-
stroying millionaire breeding plan.
But there Is no currency less sound in
reality than that which enables our pri-
waite and national creditors to demand
twice what they loaned, whether III
products or in labor. The plan by
which the 'llim-llam operator gets five
hundred dollars for gold brick may be
eminently sound to him, but is is
hardly sound for his victim The horse
jockey who describes his wind broken,
spawned horse to the unsophisticated
purchaser as absolutely sound" is not
holding out any more elusive hopes than
the man who describes the single gold
standard as "the only sound money"
1t may be sound enough for the man
who has gold to keep locked away wait
ing for a rise, or loaned out on mort
cages which he can afford to foreclose
at large profit, but there is no sound
ness in the continually approaching
basis for anyone else.
The charge that the advocates of BIZ
metalllsm are trying to ''legiSlate value
into anything is absolutely baseless and
untrue. Value cannot be legislated in
to a thing. If anyone is trying to legis-
late value it is those financial thinkers
who are trying to maintain a parity
under conditions which make a parity
impossible
The logical bimetallist desires nothing
of the kind, he wants natural laws to
govern the money supply of the world,

is the goldItfS who talk about making
dollar of the silver subsidiary coin
equal in purchasing power tOany other
dollar" The bimetallist does nothing
of the Scrt. If anyone wants to give a
horse or a diamond ring for gold dol
lar the bimetalliSt has no objections to
offer, that is matter of agreement and
choice between purchase and seller.
What the bimetallist claims and de-
mands is that the debt paying power of
each and every dollar Of our currency
shall be equal to that of every other dol
lar. So that having entered into an OBJ
legation a man may rest assured that his
debt will neither increase or decrease
except by the terms of the contract.
Then when he has bought horse or a
house Or farm and agreed to pay for
them in certain length of time, he will
know that, barring accident, by frugal
ity and hard work at present prices of
products he can pay his debt. This is
sound money in the strictest sense, and
the only sound money, and the only way
to attain it is by restoring our natural
monetary system and the natural ratio
established by many centuries of exper-
iment.-From the Farm, Field and
