The Democratic Ratio.

The true, the honest and therefore the
Democratic rule for fixing the coinage
ratio Of gold and silver was laid down
by Thomas Jefferson in these words:
"The proportion between the values
of gold and silver is mercantile prob
lem altogether. Just principles will
lead us to disregard the legal PROPOSE
ton, to inquire into the market price of
gold in the several countries with which
we shall probably be connected in COM
merce and take an average from them. :"
There never was day from 1899
down to its exit from power in 1861
when the Democratic party did not
unanimously accept Jefferson's rules
and did not follow them in its coinage
laws. They were reaffirmed in the ma
tional conventions of 1876 and 1899.

Fact. q. to silver ana Prices.

When free coinage advocates proclaim
that the characterization of silver in
1878 "has made prices go down ever
since, they ignore these facts:
The prices of farm products fell much
more in the eight years before 1878
than in the eight years following that
date.
In 1856 wheat Was worth $1.95, corn
$1.31, cotton 76 cents In 1878 these
staples were worth respectively $1.31,
SO and IS cents. The minis were open
to silver during all this time, but few
dollars were coined and none circulated.
The year after demonstration"
wheat rose from $1.31 to Slab, corn
advanced from SO to 70 cents, beef
nearly cent and all other farm pro-
ducts, except cotton, in proportion.
Wheat did not g below SLOT until
1884, nor cotton below 10 cents until
1885, recovering to that figure in 1890
and 1891.
Those who attribute the fall in prices
to the dropping from the coinage Of a
noncirculating dollar ignore these facts
They likewise leave out of the question
the factors that really settle 1.-THE
enormously increased production both
here and in other lands, and the great
decrease in the cost of production and
of transportation. New York World.

The Dollar of Civilization.

"What shall it profit us to have q
dollar which grows more valuable every
day if such dollar lowers the standard
Of civilization and brings distress to
the people?" Candidate
Bryan in His New York Speech.
This question is based ON two errors
The gold dollar does not grow more val
liable every day. 1t changes but slightly
in value during long periods, and, meas
ured by the labor cost Of procuring it, is
now less valuable than it was 20 years
ago. While gold is not perfect stand
ard of value, it is the best known to
mankind.
Nor is it true that the use of one par
ticular kind of metal to measure values
"lowers the standard of civilization. |"
The most highly civilized nations have
always been those which have used
gold. That the great commercial coun-
tries, after long experiments with both
metals, have united in giving up the
silver standard and using gold as the
sole measure of values Is the best posi-
BILE proof Of the superiority of gold.
Judged by the test of civilization. it
is found that in their upward progress
nations have always gone from silver to
gold-never in the opposite direction.
Will Mr.. Bryan pretend that England
has been growing less civilized during
the past so years since she adopted the
gold standard? Has Germany lowered
her standard of civilization since she,
too. decided to use gold instead Of sill
YER? Has not the United States reached
its greatest development in population.
wealth, intelligence of its people and
in all advances in the sciences and arts
during the past 23 years?
If the use of gold lowers the standard
of civilization, theeuse of silver must be
supposed to raise it. The average Amer
lean voter needs only to think of the
civilization of China, India and Mexico
to satisfy himself that his condition
will be in no way improved by free
coinage.

Those workingmen who have been
deluded into supporting the 16 to
scheme by the pretense that it is re-
form in the interest of the masses will
quickly be undeceived should the coun.
try foolishly decide for the so cent dol
lar. Because new doctrine is labeled
Reform" is no reason why the people
should favor it. There are lots Of bogus
reforms, and sham reformers and of
these are the free coinage Of silver and
the men who are promising that it will
improve the condition Of the people.
From now until NOV. the Ameri-
can workers should insist on getting a
definite statement as to how the alleged
improvement in their condition is to be
brought about. If they are idle let them
ask: How will free coinage give me
employment? How will it make more
jobs? You tell me it will do these
things, but what ] want to know is in
what way will the change be brought
about?"
The worker who is now employed
should ask: ''How will l get more
wages? You say that prices will go up.
and / believe you, for it is easy to see
that if measured by 90 cent dollar
prices will be doubled. But SO long as
there are large numbers of idle workers
who want job at almost any wages,
how can hope to get increased pay?
Free silver will not build more factories
or open up new opportunities for labor.
Then how can it possibly help me?"
The present contest is not fight be-
tween the masses and the classes. 1t is
movement having its origin with q
small class of silver producers who are
shouting reform" as a catchword for
votes. 1t will never be successful if in
stead of blindly accepting the promises
Of more work and higher wages the
people will insist on having some proof
that what the silver shouters say is true.

The present campaign is said by the
silverites to be fight between the
classes and the masses. If so, it is be-
tween the great mass of the farmers and
workingmen on one side and the small
class of silver mine owners ON the other.
Unless the masses are ready to injure
their best interests for the sake of the
silver producing class, the verdict in
November will be in favor of maintain
ing our sound financial system.

Five members OF the San Anto-

DIR. Rocheblave, of Paris, France,

one should ride until after an ex-

examination should be made both
before and after a walk or run,
for some cardiac LESSONS manifest
themselves only after a state of
fatigue. 2. Ride no faster than
twelve kilometres an hour. 5. AS
far as possible guard against the
desire to ride any faster. 1t is
very difficult not to give way to the
"delirium of swiftness." With q
light machine on a good road an
amateur may easily make twenty
five kilometres an hour. This is
too much, for the pulse is increased
to $50, even at fourteen and sixteen
Kilometres an hour.-Pacific

Free silver Would Not Give the Country
~ More Money.


The candidate of the silverites and
Populists in recent speech represented
the advocates of sound money as being
opposed to an increase in the currency
and declared that "any man who OBJ
jects to too much money ought to vote
the Republican ticket"
This attempt to put the opponents Of
free coinage in the position of Directing
to too much money is unfair and with
out any foundation in fact. No believer
in 100 cent dollars has ever said that
we would have too much money under
free silver. Nor has any one who con-
dennis the 16 to theory ever declared
that more money is unnecessary. On
the contrary, the chief objection which
has always been made to the proposal
for free and unlimited coinage is that
under that system the country would
have great deal less money than it
has now. That such would be the case
has been proved over and over again,
both by our past experience and by the
small volume Of money in all silver
standard countries. The silverites may
not be convinced that our $500, 900, 900
of gold would be forced out of circula-
ton under free coinage of silver, but
they must admit that the positive con-
viction that it would be is the main
reason given by the defenders of the
gold standard. To say that the men
who are warning the country against
free silver contraction are opposed to
more money is as silly as it is untrue.
Believers in our present standard of
values are agreed in holding that more
money is needed and that the senseless
clamor for 53 cent dollars is now depriv-
ing us of money that would otherwise
be sent here for investment They know
that the worlds production of gold is
steadily increasing and that if we con-
tinue to coin all of that metal which is
brought to our minis and as much sill
yer as can be kept ON a par with
gold there will be no lack of money.
But to secure this result it must be
thoroughly understood that our financial
system will remain on the gold basis.

Do not be deceived by the fraudulent
pretense that the fight for free silver
means a contest between bimetallism
and gold recommendation. We now have
almost equal amounts of gold and silver
coin. nearly all the silver being full le-
gal tender money. This is true bimetal-
hs11 Free coinage at 16 to would at
once put the country on silver basis
and force our gold out Of circulation.
The silverites are the worst enemies of
real bimetallism.
