Words Of wisdom.

The following sensible remarks
ere taken from the Florence
Tribune, edited by Mr.. CD. Reppy,
who is well known by all of our
people:
"A great many so-called busi-
ness men, who asserted that .s'eyery-
body knows me, no use Of my ad-
Sertisins." are surprised to find
how soon they are forgotten. Since
the recent advertising revival in
Tombstone, one comes across the
names Of people who we're sup
posed to have been dead for years.
Nothing gives 2 town so dead
away as the lack Of adgertising in
the local papers, and the Tribune
is glad to see that the merchants
of Tombstone haye come to that
conclusion. II is a good town, and
pochise county is one Of the best
= the territory, SO far as natural
resources are concerned. II those
interested stand by it and its news
papers, good times will soon come
again, and better than ever. There.
isn't a newspaper in Arizona that
isn't better than it can afford to be
for the patronage it receives, and
those towns which fail to support
their papers are simply standing in
their own light

WHY WORSHIP SILVER?

I contend for the present system.
They think l am opposed to silver. l
am no more opposed to silver than any
other commodity. Why should we
pay more for silver than the market
price? We buy everything else in the
open market. We are trying to pre-
vent our servants from paving more
than the market value. We make close
contracts for every kind of services
which are demanded, but they tell us
that silver is something sacred-that
silver is a money metal. Well, it is
not a money metal which the people
want to handle much, except for mere
exchange. But even if it was a money
metal, is that any reason why it should
be favored?. 1t must be tested as we
test diamonds, silks, s%atins, muslins,
everything we buy. We must test it
by its market value, and If that mar
ket value of silver is only two-thirds
of its coinage value in gold, how can
the parity be maintained?
The careful measures which [ have
mentioned by which we have sus-
tanned the gold standard, are now to
be swept away by one fell stroke, the
free coinage of silver. All the safe
guards which experience has shown,
not only to our own country but to
other Nations, to prevent the depre-
citation of our coin and our currency.
are about to be abandoned, a new
standard is about to be proposed, and
all our money is to be brought down
to that standard. Is it strange that
the people of the country are begin
ming to be alarmed about it? Ash shall
show presently, they are looking for
another thing entirely, a larger vol
ume of currency, and not a cheaper
ing or debasement of any of it. These
are two quite different things. Hon.

MONEY! AND V
Why They Should Oppose Free
Coinage.

The silver Populists of the West
have been successful in getting a num-
Der of women interested in their agi-
tation for a fifty cent dollar and are
making a special plea to women for aid
in their debased currency propaganda
While at first sight there may be
something attractive for women in the
idea of cheap money as put forward
by the free coinage advocates, yet
when its real nature is understood 1t
will be seen that every women should
be a pronounced opponent OF the
scheme.
In the first place women are more
largely dependent than men on the in
terest on loans and investments OF
various kinds. Very often their sole
support is a legacy which has been in
vested in a mortgage on real estate.
The result of free coinage would be to
vine out one-half of their principal, as
the borrower could repay the loan IN
fifty cent dollars. Do the women OF
the country want such a change IN the
value of their invested property?
Again, women as a rule prefer to de-
post their little savings in banks, in
stead of investing them in some kind
of business. These deposits are loaned
out by the savings banks on real estate
security. They too would be cut down
by the adoption of the silver standard,
and one-half of the savings of years be
taken from their owners. Do the hum
dreds of thousands of women who have
a little money in the bank wish to see
one-half of their deposit disappear?
All over this country there are Wild
ows whose only income is the pension
paid them by the Government as a re-
turn for the services of their husbands
in a time of war. These pensions are
a fixed sum, aud barely provide a liv-
ing for those receiving them. As under
free coinage the prices of everything
would be doubled, these widows would
not be able to live on the amount paid
them. Does any fair-minded woman
wish to see these dependent women
lose one-half of their sole support?
In addition to these objections to
free coinage which appeal to women
there is the greater one of the evil OF
high prices which would, follow the
silver standard. Woman is the house.
keeper of the family. She is the
shopper, and to her credit she always
buys where she can set the best things
cheapest. Any one who knows how
women read the advertisements of bar
gain sales does not need to be told
that a woman wants her dollars to buy
as much as possible of everything she
needs. And when she realizes that
the wages her husband brings home
on Saturday night, or the money avail
able Tor shopping, will under free
coinage only buy half as much as 1t
does now, she will make a vigorous
protest that will only end when the
man Of the house has promised that
he will vote against a financial policy
which means doubled prices.

Canada as an Object Lesson.

The cheap money faddists claim that
prices depend on the amount of money
IN each country. They tell the farmer
that wheat and cotton are low because
money Is scarce, and that doubling
the currency would double prices. So
much for theory. Now for facts.
Canada has about 5000, 900 popuIa-
ton, and about $40 per capita Of
money. According to the silverites
the price of all kinds of goods should
be at least fifty per cent. lowerin Can
ada than in this country, where We
have over $50 per capita. But eyery-
body knows that prices in both coun-
tries are practically the same for near
ly all kinds Of goods. OF course in
parts Of Canada remote from markets
farm produce is lower than in the
neighborhood Of our great cities. But
there Is Just as much difference be-
tween the prices of products in, say
South Carolina. and in Connecticut.
80 1t Is not the value of currency
which makes the difference. In some
lines of manufactured goods prices are
even higher In Canada than in the
United States. This proves that the
theory Of the cheap money men has
no actual basis, butts merely a guess
as to the real cause of high or low
prices.

Prosperity Kills the Silver Craze.

Colonel Thomas F. West, one of the
Leading lawyers OF North Texas, whose
home is at Forth Worth, is in the city.
says the Washington I'd. CO. Post. In
conversation with a Post reporter he
said:
"Never have / seen such magnificent
crops as we have in Texas this year.
All over the State the corn is from six
to ten feet high, and will yield album
dainty without another drop of rain.
Another great cotton year is promised,
and from present indications the rec
ord of 1894 will be surpassed. Such
a state of things puts everybody In
good spirits. and causes the waves OF
political agitation and discomfort to
subside. For that reason there is even
now a lull in the free silver movement
down u way, and, though at present
that cause numbers a majority of Dur
people, public sentiment is changing
fast, and / predict that within the next
six months Texas will be found in line
for sound money. With good prices
for their cotton and grain, our agri-
cultural friends Will cease to cherish
the free silver delusion. and that other
delusion, that the price Of silver has
a direct relation TO the price Of their
farm products" {

Not Tor the South.

The Huntsville Mercury does not
believe that the people of the South
will commit themselves to the unlim-
tied coinage of silver. 1t says:
"Our people are honest if not
wealthy and want every dollar paid to
them to be worth 100 cents. They
have 10 silver to coin and cannot pos
sibly feel an interest in the Western
silver mines. If the Government is
to go into the wholesale business Of
guaranteeing prices, the farmers ofthe
South had far better work for cotton
than silver. This Government has the
ame right to say hat a pound Of
cotton shall be worth ten cents that
it has TO say than 81. grains OF silver
shall be worth 81"
The press of the South is over
whelmingly against unconditional sill
yer coinage because it would be silver
mo~nometallism, and Southern news
papers have q enough to realize
the disastrous results that would bring
upon us-Atlanta Journal.
Virginia free press. (Charlestown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1832-1916, 1895-07-24

While some of the silverites deny
that they believe in fat money, all
their arguments in favor of fifty
cent dollars are used by greenbaekers
and Coxeyites as reasons for the
adoption Of their schemes. Ask any
honest advocate of free silver whether
be believes that the Governments
stamp can make 412l grains of silver
worth one gold dollar. Hewill prompt
IL answer 'yes Then ask him If the
Government a make piece of paper
worth a gold dollar by merely print
ing ''one dollar" on it. Nine times
out Of ten he Will again answer eyes. "
OF course he viii be wrong, IS it isnOt
the words zone dollar" which makes
paper currency circulate, but the fact
that the Government Will redeem 1t
with gold dollar. Apaper promise TO
pay none dollar" would be no good If
il could not be redeemed. But the
fact that silverltes believe that the
Governments stamp makes values
shows that their ideas Of the nature Of
money are the same as those Of the
Populists and other fatists.

A GOOD ARGUMENT.

The following letter addressed to the
New York Herald puts the silver ques-
ton in a clear light:
To the Editor of the Herald:
Prior to 1873 we had free coinage
of silver and goldat the ratio of l6 to l:
Yet a gold dollar, composed of 25.S
grains of standard gold, was intrinsi-
cally worth three cents less Ill 1873
than the silver dollar containing 4l24
grains of standard silver.
Now, if the free coinage of gold by
the United States at the ratio of l to
16 at a time when gold was admitted
to free coinage in all the civilized Ma
tions of the globe could not maintain
the gold dollar on a parity with the
silver dollar, would the free coinage
of silver now at the same ratio main
tain silver on a parity with gold?
If a difference of three cents in the
dollar against gold could not be over
come when gold was admitted to free
coinage all over the world, can it be
reasonably expected that a difference
of fifty cents in the dollar against sill
yer could be overcome by the free
coinage of the latter metal in this
country alone? If by the concensus
of Nations the market price of silver
can be established so as to fix and
maintain a parity between it and gold.
at the ratio Of 16 to l. why did not
that same consensus of Nations main
tain gold at a parity with silver at the
same ratio in 1878?
In the light of facts thus briefly re-
ferred to, eau it be doubted that 1t Is
the metal which gives value to the
coin and not the coin which gives
value to the metal? Whatever lew 10
placed upon the statute books Of ths
country, there can, in fact, be but one
standard of value.
If we drive 600, 600. 900 gold dollars
out of circulation it would take fifteen
years to coin a like number of silver
dollars to take their place, and as the
purchasing power of a silver dollar
would only be one-half that of gold,
1900, OOO, 900 silver dollars would be
required to supply the deficit created
by the retirement of gold. Our minis.
working to their fullest capacity,
would need thirty years to coin
81, 200, 900, 900. If, as claimed by the
silver men, there exists a scarcity of
money, how can they want to increase
that scarcity so much that it will take
thirty years to restore the existing
status?

HARYEY,S SEE.SAW BIMETALLISM

1t is due to Mr.. Harvey to commend
the frankness with which he sets forth
the financial feast to which we 7 in
vited. He suggests:
''They say it is not bimetallism I'M
less the two metals stay at exact
parity of 16 to l. These men do not
know what bimetallism is. 1t may be
desirable to let one metal go tout of
circulation?), as it would be now.
With both as primary money we may
have bimetallism and bimetallic
prices, whether one metal has a ten
dency to leave us more than the other
or not. And, if desirable to stop its
leaving, a change in the ratio will do
it, and, if necessary, "a do it so as
to set the other metal going, so that
we can feed Europe either metal we
may choose"

'There is not enough metal money

the confident assertion Of the silver
ties, on which they base a plea for

wrong. II is true that there Is not
enough money if all business was done
on a cash basis. But each year more
and more of the total volume Of ex-
changes of goods is carriedO on with our
