FACTS STRONGER THAN WORDS.
Mr.. Menardi's Denver Financial Men
Stop Making Loans.

J. B. Menardi, esq. of Sheridan. has
had a peculiar experience lately which
is calculated to make him reflect upon
the present financial condition Of the
country and the outlook. Profession
ally Mr.. Menardi is a civil engineer;
politically, he is a democrat, but a large
and profitable portion of his business
has been making loans for a Colorado
agency upon farms and other real es-
tate, both in Sheridan and johnson
counties. He has done an extensive
business in this line, but 60 days ago
he says he was instructed to cease op-
erations, as it was not deemed advis-
able to make any more loans during the
present contest between sound money
and a deprecated currency. Inasmuch
as he made all the loans on gold notes
this seemed an unnecessary precaution.
So Mr.. Menardi went down to Denver,
taking advantage Of the carnival ex-
cursion rates, to see II he could not get
the restriction removed. He vas not
successful. The Denver firm said that
not a dollar would be loaned until after
election and not a dollar yer then II
Bryan was elected. This is the state
ment that Mr.. Menardi made to a gen.
tleman we'll and favorably known In
this community, and who gave us the

A REMARKABLE T

facts for publication. Menardi was
greatly disappointed at the result of the
consultation with the Denver firm and
did not object to publication OF the
facts, although he has been an ardent
Bryan supporter during the campaign.
1t is fair to presume that loans in the
west will not only cease, but that the
money already loaned out will be call
ed in at maturity, and as 80 per cent
Of the loans made on farms in Sheridan
and Johnson counties are made pay
able in gold, it will be a great hardship
to the farmers who will not be able tC
get the gold in such a case except by
paying two dollars for one.
For a state with the great natural re-
sources of Wyoming and in need o.
capital for their development to join
in a war against capitalists would be
suicidal. On the other hand. should
Wyoming. as 1t undoubtedly will. stand
up against reputation. its people will
have a credit that will enable them tc
secure the capital they stand in need
Of to develop their mines, trrigate theil

Upon the Money Question-Con-

ed-He Deals With Foreign Coun-
tries and Has Had Experience.

Mr.. Henry w. Peabody of Boston. a
brother of IL honored townsman Hon.
A. S. Peabody, recently addressed a
great political gathering in Boston and
his remarks covered the financial ques-
tons in such a clear and concise man
ner that The Republican reproduces
them. He spoke as follows:
Money is currency usually and law
fully employed in buying and selling
In the United States we have 10
forms:
Gold coin. silver dollars, greenbacks,
treasury notes of 1890, gold certificates,
(these are receivable for duties and eX-
cept gold certificates are legal tender
for all debts) silver certificates. nation
al bank notes, fractional silver coins.
nickel and copper coins are not legal
tender, but in use all the above forms
are of equal value, and the preference
to use notes except in small amounts
Of silver for change. rarely exceeding
at one time the amount of smaller
notes 81 or IS.
No tradesman would tender to a GUS
toner without apology so many as five
silver dollars. In fact there are in cir
culation only So, OOO, 900 which would
only allow ga of a dollar to each in
habitant Of the United States, and all
efforts OF the government TO induce a
larger circulation have beer fruitless,
they quickly return to the treasury
where are permanently held about $685..

uncoined bullion subject to call of any
holder OF silver certificates or Sherman
treasury notes, these notes are in
amount 4Ss, COO, 900.
Have we any need or possible use for
increased volume of silver coin?
We make no discrimination nov be-
tween either form of note because they
are
ALL AT PARITY,
by the 1893 law Of repeal Of coinage,
and measured by the gold dollar Of 25.s
grains Of standard gold. so that even
our silver dollar Of intrinsic value now
of 81 cents will buy the same as gold
coin, while across the border in Next
co, silver dollars 2 per cent heavier can
be bought for So cents in our money,
and the prices of articles bought with
them are doubled. The reason for this
is that their minis are open to coinage
at a small charge, to all holders of sill
yer bullion.
The silver dollar Is therefore the
standard measure of all transactions
in that country and gold valued at 80
per cen premium is not otherwise
used.
