BlAINE'S SOUND VIEWS.
The Great Statesman Snid Free silver
Coinage Would Cripple Us.

The Great Statesman said Free silver
Coinage Would Cripple Us.
The following extract from speech
Of the late James q. Blaine shows clear
" the inevitable effect Of free silver
coinage by the United States:
If we coin a silver dollar of full legal
tender, obviously below the current
value Of the gold dollar, we are simply
opening our doors and inviting Europe
to take our gold. With our gold flowing
out from us we shall bo forced to the
single standard, and our relations with
the leading commercial countries of the
world Will be not only embarrassed, but
crippled.
The question before congress, then
sharply defined i'll the pending house
bills whether it is now safe and ex-
pedient TO offer free coinage to the sill
yer dollar Of 4l2h grains, with the
mints of tho Latin union closed and
Germany not permitting silver to be
coined as money At current rates OF
silver the free coinage Of dollar con-
tanning 4l2l5 grains, worth in gold
about 90 cents. gives al illegitimate
profit to the owner of the bullion, en-
abling him TO take 92 cents worth ct it
Go the mint and get it stamped as coin
and force his ucighbor 10 take it for
full dollar This is an unfair advantage
which the govC rnmcnt has no right TO
give to the owner OF silver bullion and
which defrauds the man who is forced
to take the dollar.
1t assuredly follows that If we give
free coinage to this dollar Of inferior
value and put il in circulation, we do
so at the expense Of cur better coinage
in gold, and unless we expect the inva-
riable experience Of other nations to be
in some mysterious way suspended for
our peculiar benefit we inevitably lose
our gold coin 1t will flow out from us
with the certainty and with the force
Of the tides. What gain, therefore,
should we make fer the circulating me-
dunn if on opening the gate for silver
to flow in we open stil wider gate for
gold to flow out?
Assurances from empirics and scien-
fists IN finance that, in remopetizing
the former dollar we at once and per-
manently advance its value to par
with gold. are worth little il the face
of opposition and controlling facts.
The first effect of issuing any silver
dollar that will pay custom dues and
interest on the publio debt will un-
doubtcdly be to raise ii 10 q practical
equality with gold, but that condition
will last only until the amount needful
for customs shall fll the channels of its
use, and the overflow going into general
circulation viii rapidly settle to its nor
NAL and actual value, and then the dis
count will como Oh the volume of tho
paper currency. which will sink. pari
passu. with the silver dollar in which it
is made rcdccmGblc.
That RECOMMENDATION will have con-
siderable effect in advancing the value
Of the silver dollar is very probable, but
not enough to overcome Pho difference
now existing--a difference resulting
from tho causes independent Of ouc con-
troll in the United States.

What Ex-Governor Flower Said in

Chicago, July 6.-Rosweil P. Flower, of
dressed to Secretary OF State W E. Chill
ton of West Virginia, relating to an inter-
view recently published, in which Mr..
Flower was quoted as saying that Secre-
tary Chiffon doubted the sincerity OF the
free silver sentiment in his own State,
clears Secretary Chiffon of having made
any such insinuatiou, and incidentally em-
phasizcS his own convictions as to the dam
gers to the Democratic party OF the adop-
ton of n free silver policy. Following is
the letter:
My Dear Chiffon: 1 see in a morning
paper, this morning. an interview. or what
purports to be an interview, with me
which never occurred. 1 did say that you,
in explaining the position OF the silver Dem
ocrats IN that State West virginia., said
that the farmers were very poor and dis
trcssed, and that they thought that the
Democratic party was impeding the re-
monetizatIon OF silver, and that the only
way to VIII in West Virginia was to stand
together for free silver, and then you
could sweep the State; that there was no
Compromise to be made on the platform Of
16 to 1, and that you would stand IA unit
in your delegation for it, even though the
people of West Virginia could not forget
the many acts Of kindness l had shown
them when they were in trouble polit-
ically.
Il then advised you to stand with your
State, although the platform adopted by
the convention that you favored would
lose New York by 25O, 900 ma jority. and I
believed it would ruin the Democratic par
ty. Anything in the purported interview
intimating that the Democratic party in
your State was not sincerely for free silver
is incorrect. Very sincerely. :.
