EASTERN REPUBLlCANS ARE
AGAINST SILVER.

WOulu lake up pn6 silver ISSUE dnu
settle it justly, will do well to con-
slider the recent utterances Of the
party in various eastern states. The
latest expressions are those of Ten
nessee, Maryland, and Connecticut.
The first is as follows: "Wa are
unalterabiy opposed to any scheme
that will give to this country de-
preciated and debased currency.
We favor the use of silver as cur
rency, but to the extent only that
its parity with gold will be main
tanned, and in consequence are OPP
posed to free and unlimited and
independent coinage of silver at
ratio of Is to 1. We believe that
every American dollar should be an
honest 100-cent dollar, always and
everywhere"
1t is about as certain as anything
well can be that not man who has
hand in framing that declaration
ever bestowed an hour of consecu-
tive and intelligent thought upon
the silver question. But they are
sure that free coinage would ruin
the country just the same. The
platform is for gold and nothing
else.
The "1O0-cent dollar" clause at
the end of it is wonderful thought
It must have required a tremendous
mental struggle to evolve such an
idea. 1t is SO philosophical-and
so new!
Next comes Maryland's creed:
1--WE believe in the gold standard
upon which to base our circulating
medium, and are opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
until an international agreement of
the important commercial countries
of the world shall give silver
larger use."
There is no mistaking the mean
ing of that and comment is unnec-
essary.
Finally, we hear from the land of
the Blue Laws and wooden nutmegs:
"We are unalterably opposed to
the Issue of unsecured paper cur
rency, either by the government or
the banks; the free coinage of silver
at any ratio, and favor single
standard of value, and that standard
gold. We believe that this policy,
with a sound and stable currency
upon a gold basis, will furnish suf-
ficient revenue to meet all require
ments of the government and pro-
perly support it."
If there is an English money
lender, or New York bond-shayer,
who is not satisfied with that decla-
ration, he must be exacting, indeed.
They are unalterably opposed to
4
the issue of unsecured paper cur
rency either by the government or
by the banks, and to the free coin
age of silver. This means the gold
standard and national bank notes,
secured" by bonds.
A greenback issued by the gov
ernment which has the entire wealth
of the country behind it, is no good,
according to the Connecticut idea;
but national bank note, secured
by a bond which itself has no value
except what it gets from the credit
of the government, is just the thing.
The government issues a bond
for 100000 bearing 4 per cent in
terest. A bank gets possession Of
it deposits it in the United States
treasury as security; continues to
draw $4,000 a year interest, and
receives from the government $780,
600 in national bank notes, which
arc in turn loaned out. for interest,

GOV. STONE, OF MISSOURI GETTING
READY FOR ANOTHER FIGHT.
st. Louis, Nov. 4.-Governor w. J.
Stone was asked today what iE his
opinion were the causes of Bryan's de-
feat.
First and chiefly money" was the
reply.
'second-The betrayal of the Demo-
cratic party by men who owe it every
thing"
"Third-The influence Of a subsid-
lied press"
Continuing, the governor said: II
shall begin from this hour the work of
organizing the people OF the states for
the campaign of 1900. The cause we
have fought for is right. 1t involves
a question affecting the prosperity of
the country and the happiness Of
mankind. 1t will not be settled until
it is settled right.
1.-The battle we have fought has not
been in vain since it has resulted in
separa ting the Democratic wheat
from the chaff. The party will grow
stronger in future when every man in
it is ready to fight and die for its prln-
ciples. The cause of free silver is not
lett by this defeat, The blessings
that would flow from bimetallism will
be delayed, but they will come at last
in response to the reSolute and un-
yielding demands of the people,"

:APOLIS AND WEDNESDAY, 1S9W

Chicago convention, where a plain,
honest man of the people stood up alone
and the multitude cheered him as their
leader and champion. 1t was futile for
the traditional leaders to advise q
straddle, compromise, a middle man.
That was convention of and for the
people. Bland, Stone, Altgeld, and
Blackburn and others as brave and as
earnest turned back the Hills and Whit
neys, and told them to their teeth that
the time had come when the West and
South would be heard.
Then came the Peoples Party con-
vention, when many a SCARED veteran
who had fought so long and against
such fearful odds, found here his hard
est task to quit fighting, to join
hands with the men who were willing
to help towards one of the several re-
forms the Peoples party had been work.
ing for. But the rank and file were
great enough to put country and home
above party. And the work began.
We have felt that Bryan was our man,
and if he sits in the White House, Peo-
pies Party votes will have put him there.
That some alleged Peoples Party men
have needed Mark Hanna's siren voice,
none can deny. That others have made
unnatural alliances is deplorably true
Such men are not now, and never were,
POpulists. They are out OF our ranks
and cannot return.
However this campaign ends, it is not
an end to our party. It's work is but
begun. There can be no real failure
when the rights of the people, the
brotherhood Of humanity is at STAKE
Let every man begin the next presiden-
tlal campaign Nov. 4, 1896, so that If
we are in power we may stay in, and if
the opposing party be in we must begin
in time to turn the rascals out.

our people need never expect to be as

the Government restores to the chan

And we say that the Government

Money is not mere measure of
value" says Populism; it is an instru-
ment Of tyranny.
Let the law once say taxes and
money, and you have a civilization
zed upon the highwayman's simple
cCde OF Your money or your life"
Let the law further say that nom
payment Of taxes (as in Georgia)
works forfeiture of the right to vote,
and you have the dollar acting as po-
litical boss, and becoming the test Of
political liberty.
Populism says the disease GIN not
be cured save by making the supply of
money correspond with the demand,
Under no other circumstances can
this people ever pay off the public and
private debt. Under no other circum-
stances can the wheels of trade be put
in motion, a demand for labor created
and profitable market be found for
labor and it's products.
Populism presents these facts and
these reaSOnings to the world, asks
impartial consideration of its creed
and invites all patriotic citizens to re-
fleet upon these vital issues, to the end
that the truth may be reached and
the Republic served. Very respect
fully, THOS e. WATSON.
