John j. IngaIs, on Silver.


John j. Ingals in speech delivered
at Horton about a year ago, expressed
himself on the free coinage question in
the following language:
'srhere is NO International money,
any more than there is universal
language. The money of every
people ls a domestic concern. Each
nation establishes a monetary system
that is adapted to it's needs, activities
and productions. The instant that
money crosses frontier it ceases to be
money and becomes commodity. The
millions of gold that have been
exported in the past few months from
our treasury have crossed the ocean as
merchandise, like pork, wheat. or
petroleum. They have been account.
ed for in vaults and at the counters
of money changers by weight, and not
by coinage. A twenty dollar gold
piece will pay no deot in London I'M
less exchanged into coin of the realm,
and an English sovereign or French
Napoleon is not good for cigar or
hack fare on Broadway.
"France has seven hundred millions
of full legal tender silver, and is the
most prosperous nation in Europe.
England has no bank notes less than
twenty five dollars and transacts the
bulk of her immense retail business in
silver at her own ratio. None of
these great powers have asked our
permission, nor consent of each other
to establish whatever money system
they thought best for their own inter
est. What we need In this country is
the revival of distinct, robust,
aggressive Americanism, the spirit of
heroes of '76 aud 81. We are the
richest. the most populous and power
full of christian nations. No other
people have asked us what they might
do with their finances, and we are
strong enough TO establish ours with
out asking them
"The people are opposed to the re-
tirement of our paper legal tender.
They are jealous of the national banks,
and the supply OF gold is INADEQUATE to
the requirements of credit, [ am
convinced that the only way to add
the element of expansion to our cur,
rency, and to guard against the dan
gers resulting from diminishing vol.
ume of money and an increasing vol
ume of business and population, is to
restore silver to its place in our
financial system and re-es.

FARMERS of Barton County, you
are only working against fate in your
efforts to raise the mortgage on your
farm or better your condition under
the gold standard History tells us
that in 1916, when England demones
tized silver, the land of England was
owned by 10000 persons. Today
less then 1000 people own the land
of that country, and agriculture there
is thing Of the past. No agricul-
tural country under the sun ever has,
and none ever will, be able to with
stand the blighting, whitening, low
priced influences of a gold standard.
History itself teaches us that the only
salvation for the farmers of the Unit
ed States is return to bimetallism.

The gold standard depresses prices
everywhere, because it increases the
value of the dollar, and as the dollar
increases in purchasing power the
prices of products decline.

gold was the only money we had, and
that there was about $500, 100000 in

WONDER how many farmers and
other laboring men of Kansas could,
or would, take a, trip to Canton, O.,
to bow at the feet of Hanna's idol?
How many could afford to leave their
work, even though their car fares
were paid? Farmers and laboring
men are the same the country over,
and when they tell us about the wonl
derful crowds that go on long pilgrim,
ages to Hanna's show at Canton we
KNOW that the expenses are paid by
the rich gold standard advocates.
Kansas farmers can see an object
lesson that they will remember on

j. B. WATKINS, of Lawrence, one
of the wealthiest bankers in Kansas;
and whose money is largely invested
in loans on Kansas farm lands, has
come out for Bryan and free silver.
He says he does not want the lands of
the farmers against whom he holds
mortgages, and believes that through
the adoption of free silver coinage the
farmers will be enabled, by reason of
increased prices for what they pro-
duce, to eventually pay off their
mortgages; when, under the present
situation of affairs (Which the repub-
licans want to continue) they cannot
pay even the interest. Mr.. Watkins
is not scared about having to take $50
cent dollars"

The Called Jade Winces.

"Whom the gods desire to destroy
they first make mad" Ed. Little
the able young republican orator
seems to have excited the old. moss
back, time-serving, republicans Of
this city to degree of dark green
frenzy not heretofore experienced.
They realize that his logical presenta-
ton of the question of free coinage oil
silver, from a republican standpoint,
to one of the finest audiences lately
assembled in this city, was a terrible
blow to the gold-bug cause; hence
their insane wrath. The editor of
the Tribune has been always relied
upon to promulgate the most comtem
ptable, little, dirty filings OF political
campaign; and in his comments upon
Ed. Little's speech he gets down low
er into his favorite mire of falsehood
and misrepresentation than ever be-
fore.
One pleasing thing to remember,
however, is that all who heard Mr..
Little's address will know the false
ness Of the Tribune's charges while
very few people outside of the rela-
tives of It's editor will have an oppor.
tunity to read the foul screed.
