Daniel Webster on Money and Wage
Farmers.
The very man, of all Others, who has
the deepest interest in sound currency
and who suffers most By mischievous
legislation in money matters is the man
who earns his daily bread by his daily
toll. His property is in his hands.
His reliance, his fund, his productive
freehold, his all, Is his labor. Whether
he work on his own small capital or an
others, his living is still earned by his
industry, and when the money of the
country becomes deprecated and de-
based, whether it be adulterated coin or
paper without credit, that industry Is
robbed of it's reward. He then labors
for a country whose laws cheat him out
Of his bread. would say to every own
or of every quarter section of land In
the west, 1 would say to every man in
the east who follows his own pillow and
to every mechanic, artisan and laborer
of every city in the country-l would
say to every man, everywhere, who
wishes by honest means to gain an
honest living, "beware of wolves in
sleeps clothing" Whoever attempts,
under whatever popular cry, to shake
the stability of the public currency
y y stabs your interests and your
happiness to the heart.

A BAD Old HumbuR.

The Denver Republican calls for more
money as the cure-all for the peoples
woes. They must" it says, "go back
to the good old American policy of BIZ
metallism, under which the country en-
joyed such extraordinary prosperity
from 1892 until the complete demoneti-
zation of silver" Oh, those good old
days." when less than 100000 silver
dollars were coined in the 81 years
from 1892 to 1s73-less than in the first
six months of the present year-and
when no man ever saw silver dollar
except as curiosity! Never once In all
this time did the country have as much
money per capita as it now has. Never
once, except during the war, were
wages so high and prices so satisfactory
as in the 10 years following the resump'
ton Of specie (gold) payments in 1878
The talk of good old times" is simply
bad old humbug.

"rhe Stamp of the Government. {"

at is true" confesses he silver men,
that the bullion value of the metal in
q silver dollar is only SO cents But put
the government stamp on it by free
coinage and you will raise the value of
it to 100 cents"
Senator John p. Jones, of Nevada,
one of the most conspicuous and most
able of all the silver advocates, speak
ing on April 1, 1874, said: THE value
of gold Is not affected by the stamp OF
the government"
Everyone who has considered the
subject knows that this latter state
ment is true. The metal in a gold dol
lar Is worth exactly 100 cents, whether
it be stamped by the government or not.
Melt the dollar and run it into any other
form and its value remains unchanged.
II the stamp of the government does
not change the value of one metal, is 1t
reasonable to suppose 1t would change
that of another? Can it do any more
for silver than it does for gold? No
The stamp of all the governments in
the world cannot make SO cents worth
of silver worth 100 cents any more
than they can make silk purse out OF
sow's ear.-EXchange.

Free silver Doctors Disagree.

Presidential Candidate w. j. Bryan
declared in his speech in New York
city: 81 am firmly convinced that by
opening our minis to free and unlimited
coinage at the present ratio (16 to u we
can create a demand for silver which
will keep the price of silver bullion at
S1.29 per ounse, measured lin gold"
Judge w. S. Mccain, of Little Rock,
a free silver leader in Arkansas, differs
from Mr.. Bryan in his Interpretation of
the popocratic platform. 81 am some
times asked" he says, IF believe the
reconciliation of silver would increase
its value so as to make the bullion in a
silver dollar equal to the present gold
dollar. answer no. If thoughtso,
would not waste time advocating the
restoration of the unlimited coinage OF
silver. The sole object of remonetizing
silver, as / understand it, is to secure a
cheaper dollar with which to measure
and regulate prices"
Here are two eminent financial doc
tors who agree in prescribing big doses
of sixteen to one pills, but widely disa-
gree as to the results OF the medicine.
When the leaders of the free coinage agi.
tation differ as to the effects of their
scheme, how can they expect the people
to believe that they know what they are
talking about?

Mr.. Bryan says railroad rates have
not been reduced to keep pace with
falling prices. In 1872 it cost 1915 cents
to take bushel Of wheat from Chicago
to the seaboard by rail, and in 1898 it
cost 1917 cents. Even Mr.. Bryan will
not assert that average prices are less
than half and only little more than a
third of what they were in 1872. How
a mere fact will overthrow Z whirlwind
