were sold with the agreement tnat tne
gold in the treasury would not be
raided, we need a man as secretary of
the treasury of courage and determine
ton who cannot be influenced SO lar
as 10 forget the interestof seventy MIL
lion people. If Mr. Carlisle had adj
hered to the principles regarding sill
yer he so ably and sincerely espOused
in 1873, defied Mr. Cleveland, and paid
the treasury raiders in gold or silver,
whichever could most conveniently be
spared, for the legal tenders presented
in redemption of which gold was de-
manded, he might have lost his posi-

could have prevented his being elected
the next president.
Some of the bimetallists desire that
the free coinage of silver be limited
to the product of the United States.
This would partially defeat the very
object most dearly desired. Free coin
age of silver at 16 TO l, adopted by the
United States, will force international
bimetalliSm. Many prominent BUSH
ness men Of this nation are IN favor
Of the restoration Of the free coinage
of silver, but for fear of displeasing
their goldite creditors, either keep 81
lent, remain passive or CHATTER the
sophistical platitudes of goldbug phil
Osophers.
AS the Chicago Tribune said before
it with the other great metropolitan
dailies went over to the money power,
1.-The prime object in remonetizing sill
yer is to add to the solid, substantial,
intrinsic money stock Of the country.
There can't be too much hard money
real money-in circulation. Such an
imitation is stimulating and invigorat-
ing. 1t is at once a sign and prop OF
national and commercial prosperity.
The simple reconciliation of the sill
yer dollar, with proper provisions for
its coinage, will contribute a steady
stream to the money resources of the
United States. The folly of advOcat-
ing the single gold standard Of money
must be obvious to everyone not blind
as pat IN daylight.
1T is a mere naked, unsupported,
irrational assertion that remOnetiZa-
ton Of silver viii not reduce the diff
ference in value between it and gold.
John Sherman is the greatest bull in
the gold market, and every means at
his official disposal is employed to force
an exclusive gold currency on the coun-
try and to depreciate all property
thrift Of the people. Chicago Tri-
bune, February 6, 1878.
We are richer in physical wealth,
stronger and freer than any nation on
earth, we have a much wider margin
of living; we have undeyelOped re-
sources which contain the possibilities
of undeveloped wealth. but we must
break the chains of gold bondage, and
henceforward mine, coin and use our
own silver, the peoples money, and
cease borrowing money from European
bankers.
The United States is one grand part
nership divided into three depart
ments, the Northeastern group of
states forming one, the Southern states
another, and the Western states the
third. The managers of the North
eastern department are becoming quite
offensive by assuming to dictate the
policy of the business, the control Of
the cash, and the absorbing of all the
profits Of the entire business. These
managers are becoming so intolerant
and arbitrary, it is a menace to the sue
cess of the general business. limited
we stand, divided we fall
