President CLEVELAND was invited |
to Chicago by busii.ess men to make
an address on the Gold Question. |

will favor free coinage of silver when
ever England and Germany agree to
the reinstatement of silver to the |
rights Of coinage, that gold has in
the mints Of the country.
CHARLES EMORY SMITH of the Phila
delphis Press, was last week invited
to mako speech against sill
yer before the Legislature. He is a
pleasant and able speaker and did
we'll for the gold bug cause. The
big bogy with him is the fact, that
European nations have turned silver
down as bond redeeming money, and
for that reason he is against giving
silver the same right as gold in
tie mints and in the redemption Of
paper money. He is of the opinion
that if this government adopts free
coinage all the silver within sight
81, ,00o, 900, ,00O-wiil be dumped into
this country, and all the people in
foreign counties to whom tho
United States owes gold bonds will
rush here to have their bonds paid
and that will create such a demand !
for gold that it will be drained out |
of the country, and gold will be at
premium, and VIC will be silver mon

He did not say, but he might have
said that if his opinion is correct, it |
conclusively proves that there is not
gold enough among the nations of |
the world to safely base the bonded
indebtedness OF nations and corpora
tions on.
He has a remedy to make the re
demption of the securities ali IN gold
and that remedy is the same remedy
thst Mr. Cleveland has been apply

That remedy IL to purchase five
hundred million of gold for redeem.
ing purposes, but the failure of the
remedy is not mentioned by Mr.. |
Smith, and is the same failure that
Mr. Cleveland makes. 1t settles
nothing, and the only thing it does.
is to create five hundred million more
debts. If there is not gold enough
now to redeem maturing obligations,
where are the additional five hum
dred million dollars gold to come
from 10 redeem the new debt. Mr..
Smiths speech is a good one, but it
