SOME GOLD CONTRADICTIONS
NOW YOU SEE 1T AND NOW
YOU DON'T.
Consistency Not an Essential For a
Gold Bug Argument.

There never was political subject in de-
bate in which the advocates of one side
SO persistently contradicted themselves
and stultified their own arguments. the
supporters of the gold standard are doing
in this campaign. Here are few of the
contradictions:
The Republican platform declares for
bimetallism; the whole subject of bimetal-
lism is built on fact, which few leading
monometallists have ever disputed, that
gold is increasing in value. Yet in this
campaign Republican speakers and Re-
publican newspapers are denying the one
point upon which the Republican plank OF
international bimetallism is 'founded-the
rising value of gold.
They say that mine owners will make
fifty cents profit on every silver dollar; they
also say that the silver dollar will be only
a fifty-cent dollar. Now If the dollar Is
to be worth 100 cents to the mine owner,
which it must be for him to make fifty
cents profit, it must also be worth 100 cents
to the next man.
That by law you cannot add cent to the
value of anything; yet by free silver law
they say that the prices of all the necessa-
ries of life will be doubled, and that by a
protection law they can raise the prices Of
factory products and raise wages as well.
That free silver law will initiate the vol
ume of the currency, and in the next
breath they say that free silver law will
drive all the gold out of the country, and
contract the volume of currency by $780,
600 900.
That it is overproduction and nothing
else that causes the low price Of wheat,
and the next minute they say that it isn't
60 <1ok
ployes of factories don't make enough
money to buy much flour as they want.
That you cannot ignore the law Of sup
ply and demand, and then they say that
an unlimited demand. an enormous increase
in the demand for silver as coin, will not
raise the price of silver.
That the gold standard IS the only stand
ard, and their platform says that it is so
bad they will not keep it minute longer
than they have to.
That under free silver we shall not be
able to buy foreign goods, and then they
say that the whole trouble with America
is that we are buying too much Of foreign
product.
That the mine owners have raised an
enormous silver trust fund with which to
fool the country, and then say that the
wretched Democrats haven't got enough
money with which to buy banners or pay
rent for headquarters, or send out litera-
ture.
That everything would be doubled in
price except wages. and then they say that
wages depend upon prices, and ask the
workingmen to vote for protection because
that means higher prices, and higher
prices mean higher wages.
That they want an "honest dollar" but
that the silver dollar will not be an honest
dollar until foreigners say it Is; and yet
they say they Che Republicans are the
only judges of what an honest dollar" is.
These are only few Almost every gold
| argument put forward to date has been
contradicted fatty by other gold argu-
ments.-H. johnson in N. Y. News.
