The Boltocrats decided not to try
to raid the Democratic hen-roost for
party emblem. They went to the
graveyard instead and slaudered
the memory of statesman who has
been dead for 10 years by adopting
"Tne head of Thomas jefferson, sur.
rounded by a wreath of hickory
leaves" as their voting device 1t is
enough to make the author Of the
Declaration of Independence turn
over in his grave to have those in ia
vor of the British system claim to be
his followers.

50. | do not think so. Peopl
would not hoard or export gold in thu
face OF movement certain to cheaper
gold. 1t seems to me NOR,
likely that the rehabilitation of sill
yer by US would be the occasion of set
ting free vast amounts Of gold now
hoalded for military and other pur
poses.
Il. This partly answered under the
last. Further there would be no in
fux Of foreign silver. Undoubtedly
free coinage by us would increase the
total amount of silver produced, but
the new silver could not be mined al
so low a marginal cost as at present
prevails. The marginal cost would on
the contrary be increased with the
output, so that all tendency from this
source to lower the gold price of sill
yer would be negatived. The very
prolific silver mines are now very few.
IS. Quite the reverse. After a pos
sible first shock our credit would i'm
prove with free coinage. 1t is our
present course which must speedily
lower our credit. How long could a
man or firm continue to have credit
who borrowed each year to pay a
large proportion of its running ex-
penses? Yet on a gold basis this
course is inevitable; and that at this
moment the reason why foreign lend
ers are shy Of our securities. There
must be change if we would avoid
bankruptcy. with free coinage every
industry would look up, and even If
we lost our gold our prosperity would
invite English capital, just as Japan's
prosperity causes it to rush there.
Never since slavery days has the
press in the country familiar to me dis
played such disregard for truth and
such stubborn obtuseness to the most
obvious considerations as it does at
present on the silver question. This
means that the money power seated
in London, but with reprepresenta-
tiyes in New York, Philadelphia and
Chicago, is determined to continue
the appreciation of gold, and Diet r.
mined, therefore, that the facts shall
not be known. The banks and the
press are almost entirely under its
influence. | think the money ques-
ton at the present time the greatest
question of civilization"

fore the COMMITTEES. By independent sur
vevs by the United States and Canadian
engineers this meridian has been marked
at three important points. Mr.. Adee rep
resented that there would probably he little
