SICK HEADAchEi


The demonetization of silver by
the Congress Of 1878 and 1874 has
been termed crime. 1t was more
than that. 1t was both treachery
and crime. The Congressmen who
voted for the dismissal of silver from
the coinage Of the country occupied
their position by the grace Of the
people whom they were expected to
represent. They were agents OF
certain proportions of citizens in
certain communities and were ex
pected to act honestly, according to
the desires of their principals, on
all public matters. When they
voted to omit silver dollars from
the coins of the country they did it
either ignorantly, which was a crime
for statesmen, or from premedita-
ton, arising from interested motives
aid without consultation with their
principals-the people in their
districts. That was treachery. The
public never petitioned for this sill
yer constraint or limitation. But
they have, for twenty years, been
unavailingly endeavoring to have
Congress redress the wrongs in
flicted by the acts of its predecessors.
Those wrongs convulsed the fnan-
cial system of the country and
created evils which the bitterest
enemy of human kind would have
shesitated to employ for revenge.
Disasters by the thousands have
disrupted business enterprises, ruin
ed commerce, wrecked the ventures
of manufacturers, and barred the
road of agriculturists not merely to
prosperity, but to the getting of
their daily food. A prolonged finan-
cial crisis has followed in the wake
of this act, and yet the public is
assured that it was not crime.
The public has been robbed, not
only of the millions it had saved,
but of the millions it might and
would have earned-the people Of
the world in general and of the I'm
tied States in particular. In the
fairest of lights this demonetization
seems the result of a conspiracy. AS
traced out by Hon. Alexander Del
mar, the well-known writer on
coinage, and a member of the mon
etary commission of 1875, the incip-
lent cause was the action of France.
AT the Tina this action was taken
nearly $1,5OO,OOO,OOO in United
States 5 and 6 per cent bonds, with
interest in coin and bought at 40
cents OH the dollar, were held in
Europe or for foreign account, At

Parties Only settle One Thing at q
Time.

EDITOR SOUND MONEY! note
with pleasure your stand in refer
fence to union of all the silver
forces. Nothing would suit the
gold standard Wall street party like
"a division of the parties pitted
against them, for it would at once
remove all doubt as to the election
of Mckinley and the triumphant
establishment of the gold standard.
Such contest would be tame and
devoid of interest because of the
certain issue. We would be out
generated and defeated before we
had struck a blow. But worse than
all, defeat would enable the gold
power in another four years to SO
firmly entrench itself that only
revolution and bloodshed could
overthrow it. The time for US to
act by peaceful methods, is, in my
judgment, now or never, and every
patriotic citizen and lover of our
free institutions should lay aside
all minor questions and petty diff
ferences and unite upon the over
towering and all absorbing question
of the hour, viz: gold or silver and
gold.
In all our political history no
party accomplished but one great
reform at time and it will be so
now. After we have restored silver
to it's rightful place under the con-
stitution, the victory for all the
principles the Populists hold dear
will be nearer than ever in sight.
Let US unite then with the silverites
and the great silver wing of the
Democratic party and achieve a
glorious victory and let every man
be as true as steel to the, great pa
triotic duty now devolving upon
him; for in all the history Of the
earth no greater reform as affecting
the immediate welfare of the people
was ever attempted.
Personally, ] favor Senator Teller
for the presidency; but if the DEM
ocrats nominate an out and out free
silver man of their own party then
feel that we should unite upon
him and demand that Teller be
made secretary Of the treasury.
Populists will in no wise suffer from
such an Endorsement and there need
be no sacrifice Of principles.

Rigelow Argues for silver.

Judge Bigelow, an out and out
gold bug, appears in the Reno Ga
zette with clinching argument for
silver, He don't mean it as such, If
course, but it is, all the same. He
says:
If the free-silverites carry the
election this Fall on their Is to
platform, it will not only paralyze
business-it will utterly destroy it.
There will be scarcely a bank or
business house in the land that will
not go down in the storm.
1t is the banking houses we want
to see bow before the storm; not the
honest banking houses. but the gold
trust bucket shops that fatten eff q
tight money market, the banks who
pray for a scarcity of money, high
interest and general distress.
If the hackers of these institu-
tions go down before the storm, the
sooner the storm comes the better.
The Judge continues:
1t will send gold to almost one
hundred per cent premium.
This idea advanced by the Judge
that a sudden demand for silver
will send gold up 100 per cent
premium, does not seem to be shar-
ed by the spectators of New York
who are now trying to corner sill
yer in anticipation of rise.
Here is some more of Judge Bige-
lows arguments:
AS measured in silver, everything
else will go up in value with it, but
as it will take twice as many dollars
as now to buy the same article, it
will be of no earthly advantage to
anyone except to the man who owes
debts that he has not promised TO
pay in gold.
The rise in the price of commod-
tiles is just the argument the silver
men are advancing. The farmer
wants wheat to 60 up along with
corn and potatoes; the rise in wool
will Just suit the Nevada wool
growers, and iflead and copper gets
into the upward current the miners
of Nevada will be happy. 1t is the
stagnation in prices coupled with a
scarcity of circulating medium that
has caused a new party to take the
field.
Judge Bigelow is consumer and
not a producer. He draws salary
of $5, 1000 year and like all men
with a fixed salary is interested in
purchasing everything he consumes
at low price. When Judge Bige-
low takes to farming and mining he
will also take a different view ofgthe
silver question. --CGrsOn appeal.

3 per cent. in favor of the silver
against the gold, and SO silver was
sent to Paris, rather than the Un-
tied States, for coming. At the same
time decision of the French Court
of Cessation reiterated the principle
of the Roman law embodied in the
code Napoleon to the effect that
money contracts were legally dis
chargable in such money as was
current on the day of payment, no
matter what other terms were ex-
pressed; it being held that no man
could contract himself out ofthe law.
This decision frightened the for
eign holders of our bonds. They
feared that when the time came for
paying the coin interest our govern
ment might apply this ruling to its
debts and devise some spurious
metal money with which to meet
these payments. The ond-holding
syndicate labored from 1865 to 1870
to defeat such a possibility, and con-
cluded their efforts by altering the
British mint code (which was the
precedent of the shameful legislation
by our Congress changing the code
of this country by which silver was
expelled from the currency, or de-
monetized. Other countries follow
ed this example until all the princi-
pal governments of the world be-
came committed to the gold stand
ard. Silver was selected for the
sacrifice because, being worth 3 per
cent. more than gold in France, as
matters stood at the time, it was
rightly thought that the United
States would refuse to use this, the
dearer metal. By hoodwinking our
then astute financieis with the idea
that gold would be the economical
metal for debt paying, because it
was worth less in relative value in
Europe, even if no stronger and
more personal arguments were en-
ployed, the people of the United
States had the gold money yoke
slipped over their necks and have
been wearing it ever since to the
strident-voiced 'gee" and shaw" of
foreign money lenders. 1t was the
most stupendous "shell game" in
the history of the worlds finance,
and it's players swept into their
pockets from $60O,0O0,00O to ST.
OoO,OOO,OOO.
| IF the deed thus done was not a
crime, what was itP
Daniel Webster once said that
the legal standard of value of this
country was gold and silver at ratios
fixed by Congress; and that neither
Congress nor state had any author
Iity to displace that standard,
James G. Blaine remarked that
Congress had not the power to de-
clare that neither gold nor silver
should not be money, and no more
right to demonetize silver than gold,
and no more power to demonetize
either than both.
| Years ago Senator John Sherman
admitted that the arguments "show-
\ ing the dangerous effects upon the
industries by dropping one of the
precious metals from the standard
of value, outweigh, in my mind, all
theoretical objections to the bimet-
alic system"
| The events of twenty years have
verified the prophetic utterances Of
these great men in our political his
tory and convinced the sufferers that
while the law has been violated by
law. makers the penalty has not fall
