A Woolen Manufacturers Opinion on
Free Coinage.
Mr.. Robert A. Allison is manager of
the great jackson (Tennessee) woolen
mills. His reasoning, printed in the
New York Mercury, requires careful
reflection and should command
attention:
WHY I FAVOR FREE SILVER.
The object of this paper is not so
much to make an argument to demon
strate ''Why l Favor Free Coinage
as 1t Is to set forth some facts showing
that free coinage lis condition we
must get back to If we would preserve
our present form of government.
The last bond issue and contract with
the Rothschilds demonstrated that the
financial status and prosperity Of the
United States, the most powerful gov
ernment on the globe, are subject to
the control and dictation Of European
firm Of bankers. This is most pitiable
position, and was made possible by the
system Of finance adopted during the
exigencies Of the civil war, and fostered
by the national bank interests for

gone far beyond all rules of safe bank

ages.
The Bank of England adopted twenty.

United States government has been try

quite one per cent. until IL has brought
ruin and disaster upon every branch Of
industry and commerce. IL should not
