BIMETALLIST CATECHISM.

Selma Journal
 How are you on the financial ques- tion?'
 'I am d bimetallist"
 What do you mean by bimetallist?" 'I mean one who favors the circulation of gold and silver, as it is doing now, for instance, in this country, when the parity and purchasing power of the two metals can be maintained by the gov ernment without injury to the financial stability of the government"
 You are for sound money then?'
 Certainly"
 What do you mean by sound money as applied to gold and silVer?"
 "I mean that circulation of the two metals where the purchasing power of one is as good as the other, and where the circula tion of both metals can be so maintained.'
 How is that to be secured?"
 By faith of the government being pledged to the purpose. and by the be- lief of the world and our own citizens in it's ability to keep it's promise.
 What is 1t that affects the power of the government most vitally in this re- speet, in its ability to do what you say? Why, of course, the comparative amount of the two metals in circulation is the all important question to be con- sidered.
 
 metallist and sound money man then the terms are synonymous?
 That's right.
 What is monometallist?
 One who believes in. or whose ideas if carried out would result in the circula- tion of only one of the metals.
 Give an example of a monOmetallist. One who believes in the free and un- limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 10 to l.
 Why do you say SO?
 Because the coinage and circulation of silver in any such way at this stage of the worlds history would drive out en- tirely the circulation of gold, and leave only the silver as a metallic currency in circulation.
 What other effect would the free and unlimited coinage of silver have?
 It would depreciate the value of the silver dollar and thus oppress the la boring man.
 Why?
 Because the whole matter of the amount of silver coinage being taken out of the power of the government to regulate by becoming free and unlimited, so that every individual in the world could come into the hints and have his or her silver coined free of charge into dollars it would be impossible for the government to guarantee a value, since it would not know how much 1t would have to guarantee It could do nothing, therefore, but make fiat money of 1t with the government stamp, and conse- quently it would depreciate, as all such money does.
 You say the government, on account of the great mass of silver and the un-

certainty of the volume, would be una ble to guarantee it's value2
 Certainly as much so as it would be impossible for you to go security for a number of citizens without knowing how many of them there would be and the amount of their indebtedness.
 What other inconvenience would be wrought by the free and unlimited coin age of silver at 16 to 1?
 There would be an instantaneous con traction of the metallic circulation of the country of s626 00O 900. by the withdrawal of that much gold, which would bring about much financial suffering, especially to the laboring masses.
 Would not the free and unlimited coin age of silver work also a form of protec- tion to a class?
 It would not only work a form. but a most substantial and oppressive reality The silver mine owners of the western states would be protected by q favorit- ism never before experienced in this country.
 They could pile their tons of silver into the hints, worth now about 50 cents on the dollar and then perhaps less draw out silver stamped dollars, pur- chase the farmers cotton. wheat and corn, ship it across the water. get good prices in gold for it and leave the gold over there for future use. and they would do just that way, too. and don't you forget it. In the meantime the great bulk of the people having no sl- yer bullion to coin would have to make out the best way they could If this would not be protection, favoritism and class legislation of the worst possible form, then 1 should like to know what would.
 But it is impossible in a short cate chism to answer one-half the questions that might be propounded on this sub ieet. The matter might be extended al- most indefinitely in showing the abso- lute necessity for sound money to pro- mote the prosperity and happiness of thie CountrV
