THE FINANCE QUESTION.
A Plea for the White Metal Of the
Mountains.

We need free coinage of silver,
because:
/, Money would increase with
the increased business of the world,
and by that means alone the debtor
class would not be injured by fall
ing prices.
2. The larger our volume Of
primary money becomes, the
smaller will be the influence of the
opening of new mines upon the
price of the money metals.
3. The interchangeableness of
gold and silver tends to render the
value of each stable. Paschal's
experiment applies here as well as
in hydrostatics.
4. The experience of Fran ce
prior to 1873 is wholly in favor of
the bimetallic standard, and France
stands ready today to follow the
lead of the U. S. in remonetizing
silver.
5. The farmer especially needs
more money. Owing to a lack of
money, he is forced to sell much
of his produce at less than living
prices; when misfortune comes,
then comes a mortgage, interest
payable in gold. See the results:
In 1871, 81 per cent of our proper
ty was in farms, but in 1880 this
had fallen to % per cent, and it is
still smaller now. The percent
