SENATOR HILL IN 1893.
He Declared For Free Silver and Said 1t
Should BE the Issue In 1885,.

He Declared For Free Silver and said 1t
Should Be the Issue In 1896.
On July IS, 1898, Senator Hill, in a
letter to The Constitution, announced
that the Democrats must make free
coinage the issue for the presidential
campaign Of 1896. The letter was per-
sonal and hence was not published at
the time it was written. About a year
ago. however, Senator Hill authorized
it's publication, and SO general has been
the demand for it of late that The Con-
stitution herewith produces that part of
it relating to the currency question.
Senator Hills advice has been taken by
the Democratic party. This is what he
wrote:
AS to the repeal of the sherman law, 1 favor
the unconditional repeal of the law. ] have al
ways been opposed to it. 1t should be ADAM
doned by general consent. My views We're par
TALLY expressed in my recent Tammany letter,
which you have undoubtedly seen. Personal
ly l should prefer not to repeal the law until
an acceptable substitute was provided, in or
der to render more probable the adoption of
such substitute and not because / approve at
all of the Sherman silver law. But from a
party point of view the wisest course is un-
conditional repeal. The country expects it,
and the party will be found fairly well united
in favor of it. Therefore it is unwise, while
agreeing upon the general proposition, to
waste our time i'll agreeing upon a substitute
pending the repeal. Let the repeal be made at
once, and let us differ as to other financial
matters afterward. l am in favor of bimetal-
lism as the issue of the future. We should seek
to keep that issue to the front. We should not
strive for temporary success or compromise.
We should be for free coinage under an inter-
national agreement, if it be possible to pro-
cure one, and, if not possible, then for indie
pendent bimetallism. This is the great goal
for which we should strive. 1t cannot be done
at once. Our friends must not be impatient.
The people must be educated. The unexpect-
ed action of India and the general sentiment
of the moneyed classes conspire against us at
this time. ! do not believe in the Bland bill
or any other measure which guarantees any
thing less than an unrestricted coinage for
gold and silver alike, as pledged in the Demo
cratic national platform. Let us prepare not
for present victory, but for victory upon that
issue in 1896. The repeal of the Sherman law
will not give the relief which is anticipated.
It will aid business temporarily, but in a year
times will be hard, and the demand for perma-
nent financial relief will be irresistible. We
should continue to hold out free coinage as the
goal which the country must ultimately reach.
The triumph of the monometallists will be bat
temporary. DAVID B. HILL.

Wealth Increase and Circulation.

According to Mulhall, the foot tons
per capita have doubled since 1910, and
since the characterization of silver the
foot ton energy per capita has increased
at least so per e AT the same time
the total wealth per capita between 1870
and 1890 has increased 80 per cent. In
other words, the wealth per capita in
1878 was 1915 for each man,, woman
and child in the United States, while in
1890 the wealth per capita was ST., $50.
Now, then, what do these facts prove?
They must necessarily prove that the
demand for money has increased in the
same proportion, and that, although in
1890 the per capita circulation was
greater than in 1878, it had not in
creased in anything like the proportion
to the wealth and volume of business.

A Crafty Hare.

Rabbits and hares are not particu-
larly we'll known as crafty animals
to hunt, but the London Field tells
of a hare that showed considerable
skill in outwitting the dogs. 1t was
u good sized hare, and the nine dogs
had a lively race after her. She cir
cled, a. rabbits usually do when run
by dogs, and then led off. She went
over a high stone fence and bothered
the hunters some. Scared by some
women, she turned square to onc
side, and the dogs overran and los,
the trail for a little bit. Then the
beast jumped again. She was very
tired and stiff, but got limbered up
and ran well for a time. Then she
got to a farmyard, where she disap.
peared and was not found by the
dogs again.
One of the sportsmen got a letter
a couple of days later from the farm
er, saying that his wife, hearing
something in the bedroom, went
into it to find out the cause. 1t was
the hare. 1t took refuge under the
bed, but was carried out to the lawn
and liberated. After sitting still
awhile the animal went hopping
away, waiting for another chase. 1t
is only when hard pressed that ami
mails take refuge in human habita-

A Fuerile Declaration.

Declaring unreservedly for sound
money-which has come to mean the
dearest money and a 200 cent dollar
the Republican convention has earned
the plaudits of the money cliques, for
it has declared its policy to be to enrich
the few at the expense of the many.
The reference to international bimetal-
lism is puerile. We are under tribute to
the creditor classes of Europe; we are
greatly their debtors. The further gold
appreciates the more cotton and wheat
and other produce will they get i'll pay
ment of interest and principal and the
heavier will be our tribute. To free our
selves from such tribute we must do
nothing-nothing a wait for the ma
lions enjoying such tribute and profit
ing from u impoverishment to volun-
tarily relinquish such tribute. -Phila-
1elphia American.

SUMMED UP,
What the Present Agitation Means Tersely
Set Forth In ParagrapLs.


The idea hat the overproduction of
commodities is the cause of all trouble
is refuted by the fact they are harder
for the poor to get at their present prices
than they would be at higher prices
with full circulation, because it is harder
now to get the half dollar than it used
. be to get a dollar to buy them with.
If machinery has increased the prod
uct of commodities, it would also have
increased the product of money of re-
demption if silver had not been demon
etized. The relation between the two
would have been approximately sus-
tanned. Stoppage of coinage without
the stoppage of the production of com
modities has limited the supply of
money and increased the quantity of
commodities. The cheapness of the
for the dearness of money.
This question is one between labor
and capital, and with the appreciation
Of money the laborer must always get
less.
1t is a question also between Ameri-
ca and Europe. Europe, being a credit
or country and America a debtor coun-
try, with dearer money Europe must
get richer and America poorer.
1t is aquestion between the masses of
the people and a few magnates OF
wealth, and with dearer money the
people must get poorer and the mag
mates richer.
1t is a question between the taxpayer
and government, and with dearer money
the taxpayer must be more heavily bur-
dened.
1t is a question between debtor and
creditor, and with dearer money the
debtor must go to the wall.
1t is a question between property and
the charges upon it, and with dearer
money property must be sacrificed and
in many cases the creditor involved in
ruin with his insolvent debtor.
1t is a question between democracy
and autocracy, and with dearer money
the autocrats of the world have filled
their strong boxes with American gold,
dipped out of the treasury with green.
backs, and every monarch of the old
world has been strengthened, while free,
liberal and independent movements have
been proportionately checked.
1t is a question of America and her
freemen on the one side and her rivals
and enemies on the other side. -Senator
John w. Daniel.

The Victory In Alabama.

The defeat of the ''sound money"
candidate, Clarke, in Alabama is more
complete than was at first announced.
1t is the same old story told wherever
the people get IA chance to express their
views on the financial question and the
politicians are unable to conceal or side

doubtful now if their tricks will benefit
them much longer, for the people will
no longer be hoodwinked in this matter,
and will insist upon having this ques-
ton brought before them and voting on
it.-New Orleans Times Democrat.
