AL DEBTORS NOT DISHONEST.
Free Silver Means That Creditors Arc to
Lose 80 Per Cent.

Lose 80 Per Cent.
Is the proposition for "free silver at
10 to i" expedient and honest?
Stripped Of verbiage, the proposition
is for this government to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage of sill
YER dollars, each dollar to contain ap-
proximately 80 cents worth Of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing tho concurrent circulation
and parity Of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance Of the
new dollars in payment OF all debts.
The object is to reduce the value Of
the dollar about one-half, and by fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale all existing obligations. The
only exception will be where the shrewd
creditor has stipulated for payment in
gold. Such creditor will be paid in full,
but the unsuspecting man or woman
who has merely trusted to tho honor Of
the nation is to be "dono up" just in
proportion as the dollar is scaled.
The Populists are solid for this
scheme. It's in their line Of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have
dollar worth anything at all the less it
ia worth the better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in tho
scheme, and the more it is studied tho
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men.
The agitators assume, because KANSAS
sx, n1> kok
man ought to join in the clalnor for
such dollars. deny that it is tho duty
Of any man, because he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, to favor a scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong
am as much in debt as the average
Kansan, but I cannot see why this fact
should blind the conscience or destroy
the ability Of man to reason on such
questions. Ibelieve in bimetallism and
in the use of the largest volume of sill
yer as standard money which can be
maintained at parity with our gold
and paper money, so that all Of our dol
lars will be equal for all purposes. But
the Harvey programme is merely
scheme to scale our standard dollar-in
which all contracts have been made
for the purpose of robbing creditors.
If these agitators simply wanted to
cheaper tho dollars for use in future
business transactions, they would advo-
cate n law making the new dollars legal
tsnder for future debts only. But that's
not what they want. They insist that
these new cheap dollars must be mado
legal tender for all debts.
am opposed to that because it is dis
honest. If anybody can prove that it is
honest, will be glad to be for it. But
he must prove it by some better argu-
ment than tho threadbare assertion that
John Sherman conspired with the
Rothschilds to rob innocent people 20
years ago, for even if that idiotic state
ment were true it would be no reason
why you and I should conspire to rob
much larger number Of equally innocent
people today.-George L. Douglass i'll

A MISSOURI STORY.

Silver Neighbor.

Unole Billy Doesn't Agree With His Free
Silver Neighbor.
Anent the silver question comes a
good story from over in the Kingdom
Of Galloway. In one of the most fertile
portions Of the kingdom" lives Uncle
Billy --. He is a character in his
way, and a prosperous, hardworking
man, with grain in his barns, fat horses,
sleek cattle and blooded sheep and hogs
in his pasture, and money to his credit
in the bank. He attends to his crops
and has no time to sit on the fence and
discuss silver. A neighbor Of his, who
is rampant Populist and silver advo-
cate, passed his place the other day. He
accosted Uncle Billy as follows:
"Well, Uncle Billy, when do you
think we will have better times?'
"Have You got any fat cattle?" asked
Uncle Billy.
mo"
"Have you got any sheep?"
"No."
"Have you got any fat hogs?"
Hardly enough to make my meat. "
"Well," said Uncle Billy refectively,
"I'll be ID If I see how times are
going to get any better for you. -

The Trouble With Them.

The trouble with some Of our silverite
papers is that they have too many edi-
tors. While the heavy editor is writing
labored articles to prove that the coun
try is going headlong and whooping to
the devil, the telegraph and news edi-
tors are filling their departments with
evidences of prosperity on all hands.
They should try to average things

CONCERNING FREE SILVER.
Some Historical Facts For 10 to ers to
Masticate.

Masticate.
Hillsboro, Tex, Judge Rufus Hardy
cited the following historical facts:
The United States today has larger
circulation per capita than any free
coinage country ever did have.
It has more gold dollars per capita
than any free coinage country OH earth
today has of all kinds Of money.
It has moro silver dollars per capita
than any free silver country today.
It has more gold than silver, and the
volume of its silver circulation is great
er per capita than the entire circulation
of gold, silver and paper reduced to
silver-of any free coinage nation.
Tho United States under gold stand.
ard-since lS73-has maintained
greater circulation per capita than it
ever did before.
There has been five times moro silver
coined under the gold standard, from
1878 till now, 90 years, than there was
under free coinage from 1893 to 1878,
81 years.
Every nation that has adopted the
gold standard, except one or two who
are on deprecated paper bases, has in
creased it's circulation.
No nation of first class civilization
has the silver standard.
Mexico is the highest type of free sill
yer nation on earth on double standard,
SO called, and its per capita circulation
is &4.7l.
Our per capita circulation has in
creased since 1878 more than the entire
circulation of Mexico.
The wages Of no free silver country
on earth average third Of those in the
United States.
No country on earth has in practice
double (gold and silver standard.
No country for 200 years (since COM
merce became international) ever has in
practice had a double standard.
The proposition that there can be but
one standard is in fact self evident.

Cheap Money-Dear Horses.

A good illustration Of the sound
money principle that the quality Of
money is far more important than the
quantity is found in a story Of Colonel
G. J. Villere of General Beauregard' s
staff. Riding up to group of cavalry
one day toward the close of the war, he
was accosted with: Hello, Villere !!
That's mighty fine horse you've got.
I'll give you $40, 600 for him." mot
much, you won't!' replied the colonel
"I've just paid 81, 900 to have him cur

wouldn't Suit Them.

We would offer no objection to tho
unlimited use Of silver at its real value.
Let the government offer to coin it into
pieces Of convenient size afid stamp
them according to their weight atid fine
ness and let them pass current at their
actual value. How many of the silver
owners would take advantage of their
silver IN that way? Not any, but no
fairer plan can be offered. West Ala

 These boxes, he said, were placed there as, a matter of convenience for deposit ing. mail which. had been prepared too late for deposit at, the postoffice or in boxes on the. street corners. Of late, however, merchants and others had got ten into theahabit-of using the boxes at the depot, and would place letters there in in, the eafy, morning when they were not to leave Che city until the afternoon orsevening. This he said, was the cause of complaint. and unless discontinued the boxes would surely come down.

the body OF man, standing upright,
with head slightly bowed, indicating that
he had been overtaken by death while in

not the only instance of death by intense
