''Gazette" is one of the best papers

should be sorry to see it die for lack

his dollar will save a worthy and

A, WEEK or two ago We. made
the. statement that if the country
were to adopt silver monometallism
it would be as easy to corner the
silver supply as our Democratic
friends are asserting that gold is
baing cornered, and to make the
change: would only be putting the
boot on the.other.lee. Events are
proving that the prediction is not
very wide of the mark. Already
there are rumors of a gigantic
trust, formed for the purpose of
controlling the silver supply, and
which is said to be behind this agi-
tation of free coinage and is supply
ing the sinews war. This trust ex-
poets to make all the way from
fifty to seventy-five million dollars
the moment the President signs a
bill that. will inaugurate free coin
age ~of silver. With unlimited
capital at it's command, this trust
can afterwards control the silver
supply of our western mines and
play fast and loose with the financial
system of the country.

WHERE you find'one Republican
who favors free coinage of silver
there are nine who are opposed to
it. With the Democrats it is about
an even split, and one faction is
warning with the other. AS the
discussion proceeds the. breach is
widened, and as time grows apace
reconciliation becomes more hope
less. With the Republicans all is
unity and harmony, and there is at
present no likelihood that any dis
sensions will arise in the party be-
fore the campaign of 1895 closes.
Under such circumstances the as
surance Of Republican success be-
comes do,,bly sure.

Believing in the infallibity of the
principles as propounded by. the
founders of the party, they gave
no thought. I'd ttiiee~idea that they
might be rnisled by men in whom
they placed their unqualified conf
dehee, and year after year they
have submitted to the dictation of
their leaders simply because the
theories they had accepte6.as the
gospel had not had their practica-
bility tested as applied to our form
of government. When tie election
of 1892 turned the refns of gov
erhhent over to the Democrats,
the humble voter naturally expect
etl that the result would be what
he was led to believe-that Dem;
ocratic government was in evefy
way superior to Republican gov

The Memphis Free Silver Address

fR5AsNE GLOBE 0fx0csAr.
The declaration of principles and
purposes adopted by the Memphis
free silver convention is remarkable
mainly for its close resemblance to
the average platform of the Pop
ulists. It demands the unlimited
ccinage of the white metal at the
ratio of Is to 1 without'waiting for
the cooperation of any other nation,
and this demand is based upon a
statement which represents that the
condition of things in this country,
by reason of law that was passed,
twenty-five years ago, is most
deplorable. We are told that the
land is filed with men who have
been made "outcasts and beggars,"
that the favored few have gained
wealth while the,oppressed many
have been reduced to poverty, that
|'corruption and debauchery'' con-
troll legislation, and that the pres
ent money. system is ''full of
menace to liberties of the people
and the life of the republic" This
lurid and hysterical rhetoric is all a
matter of imagination, as every
intelligent citizen knows. 1t is an
absurdity to say. that such results
have ensued because the Govern
ment demonetized silver in 1873.
These alleged calamities have not
come to pass, nor is there any reas-
ON to believe that such misfortune
as really exists is due to that cause.
When men soberly put forth asser-
tions of that Wild. and whirling
nature; they confess the weakness
of their position, and give notice
that they do not propose to discuss
the question in an honest and reas-
enable way.
There is nothing in the existing
situation to warrant the kind of
talk that these people are giving us.
The country is not as prosperous as
it was some years ago, to be sure,
but times are growing better every
day, and the: improvement would
be more rapid If it we're not for this
mischievous crusade in: faverof an
imitation of currency. Thereis nc
danger in sight except that of pos
sible inundation of silver to unsettl<
values and disturb all forms Of bus
mess and industry, The amount o.
money is largely in excess of the de-
mand, it can be had at lower rates o.
interest than have been known be
fore in the lives of a majority of the
present population. Itnot true tha
INSTRUMENTATION Of silver ha'
depressed our productive and com
mercial activities, and mader i
impossible for MEN to succeed be
cause the volume Of currency il
inadequate. This has been pointes
out SO often and is easy to perciev
that there is for the con
tinued. cry that money is scarce
: land that we must have more of j
(insthe form of dollars that are onl,
half dollars before we can expect
return of our former. prosperity
The people are not I'd be deceive
by that sort of sophistry and mis-
, representation when the facts ar
: apparent, and it. is impossible
wipe them out. We have a large
!: supply Of, silver already than W
need, orr can use in any way, an
tRe'pr6position to increase it indef
nxtely is folly and madness.
