The only effective, feasible and GER
tain way TO break the gold corner
which already exists, and which will
become infinitely more oppressive in
the future, is TO vote for Bryan and
free coinage on November 3. The re-
opening of our minis to the unres-
tricted coinage of both silver and gold
at the ratio Of 16 to ! would insure an
ample supply of sound legal tender
money to meet the requirements of
the country, and il gold should then
go to premium the minis would soon
furnish enough silver to enable debtors
to meet their obligations in that form
of coin, without paying tribute to the
usurers who form the great gold trust
Of the world at the present time
Denver Republican.
OF course it is not necessary to re-
mind western people that the fore
going plainly puts an important truth.
We have some people in the west who
cannot understand the situation and
who viii vote the ticket of the gold
trust, but they are comparatively so
few in numbers that they cannot i'm
peril the result in these intermountain
states.
But there are multitudes of people
elsewhere whose votes VIII determine
results and who, though entirely capa-
bic of understanding such a problem,
fail to grasp the case and blindly fol-
low the lead of the gold men. These
should study the history of the bond
issues made during the past few years.
They would be astonished to learn that
depletion of the treasury gold reserve
was always under the control of the
financial leaders. The gold dwindled
when the manipulators wished it, and
when they decreed that it should not
there was no such shrinl1age.
As proof of the control exercised it
is only necessary to turn to the more
recent. experiences of the treasury 1t
would have meant certain disaster to
the gold party for another issue of
bonds to have been made before the
election; the financial leaders knew it
and without any apparent effort they
have kept the reserve intact. This is
not guess work. When heavy with
drawals were threatened during the
summer, it was promptly announced
that the banks had come to the
rescue" and we have not since heard
of the treasury being in danger.
The point for our eastern friends to
consider is whether or not they are
willing to maintain a system under
which the nations financial affairs are
thus openly controlled by few rich
manipulators. 1t means enslavement
of industry and what would be
equivalent TO enslavement of the man
hood of the country. Are you willing
to give your votes for it?

EDITOR LLoyD's VISIT.


Mr.. Thomas Lloyd, the editor of the
London Statist, one of the most infiu-
entail financial papers of England, is
in this country for the purpose of
studying our financial system and
economic conditions.
That he win give attention to the
silver question there is little doubt
His study Of it may to some extent
modify his views of it: that it Will
to any considerable extent is not prob
able. Whatever conclusion he may ar
rive at concerning it his opinions can
not fail to have a good deal of weight
with English financiers.
Mr.. Lloyd will be particularly anx-
ious TO ascertain what will be the eff
feet upon English investments If Mr..
Bryan is elected and this country
adopts free silver policy; and he
viii likewise be anxious to learn what
VIII be the effect upon English trade
if Major Mckinley is elected and
there is a reversion to the high tariff
policy that has come to be known as
McKinleyism. Whoever may be elected.
England is deeply interested in the re-
suit.
Mr.. Lloyd will be much better quail
fed TO discuss the financial and BUSH
ness affairs of this country after a
close study Of them here What he
shall say in the Statist when he re-
turns viii have more or less influence
with English investors. If he shall
speak favorably and encouragingly, it
viii have a tendency to cause English
capitalists to turn again to the United
States as promising field for invest
nent. They have become very wary
of South African investments, and are
now looking elsewhere for fields for in
vestment. Mr.. Lloyd's views upon the
desirability of the field here win be
regarded as very high authority. If
they are impartial we believe they will
be favorable.
1t is a matter of congratulation that
ESQ eminent an authority on English
financial matters has come to this
country to study our financial system
and economic conditions. He will be
welcome everywhere.

CIVILIZATIONS oGREs.

Why is it that the best efforts of
civilization must always develop ogres?
The other day a Russian woman was
arrested in New York for having sold
a pair of shoestrings on Sunday When
the woman was brought before the
magistrate she was fined So She could
not pay, and would have been locked
up had not some of the spectators
dubbed together and raised the money
for her.
1t developed at the hearing that the
woman was a widow with three little
children TO care for. She was a Jewess:
she had religiously observed the He
brew Sabbath the day before, and she
could not understand wherein she had
offended; but the judge told her that
the laws had to be obeyed, and that
she would have to pay fine.
The ogre of the incident was Miss
Fream, who is connected with an asso-
citation that makes war on Sabbath
breakers. 1t was she who discovered
the poor woman in the act of selling
the shoestrings. She had her arrested
and appeared in court to prosecute
her; nor was she moved in the least
when the woman's sad story was de-
veloped.
It is so with almost every movement
inaugurated in the name of Christian
ity and higher civilization. Some mon
sters always come to the surface who
never had drop of the milk of hui
man kindness in their breasts, whose
ideas of duty are as rigid as though
they were made of armor plate, and
who permit no consideration to defect
them from the letter of their purpose.
They are ogTes; and their actions re-
fleet upon civilization and tend to make
the word reform odious.

FIVE SILVER STATES.

Five silver states-Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho, Montana and Utah-have to-
getfer population of only SS7408, or
less than one-half the population Of
New York city alone The five agri-
cultural, commercial and manufacture
ing states of New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois
have a total population of 30, 993, All, or
more than twenty-three and one-half
times that OF the five silver states
named BY the census of 1886 the total
assessed valuation of property In the
five silver states named was only
$3.50, 700,349 while in the five other
states it was s11, 1S7. sos, PAT, or more
than twenty-five times as much. Yet
these five silver states have precisely
the same power in the senate as the
FIVE great states with more than
twenty three times the population and
twenty-five times the wealth
So says the New York World. If we
had a goldbug bit of virtuous indigna-
ton upon us we should say that here
is an attack upon the very foundation
of the government; that here is an
anarchistic attempt to overthrow the
government. But no such fit is upon
US. so we say that there never was a
more Fantastic. fitful, inconsistent pa
per than the World.
Yes, the five silver states have as
much power in the senate as the great
states of New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. And
they have that power because it is
so nominated in the bond of the Ameri-
can Union-the constitution of the
United States. 1t was one of the hap
piest inspirations of the great men
who framed the constitution. this ad-
justment of the balance of power be-
tween the states; there is no more
democratic provision in the whole in
strument than this, that the states
shall have an equal voice in the federal
senate
The five silver states-Colorado, Ne
vada, Idaho, Montana and Utalr-haye
as much power in the senate as the
five greatest states in the Union-New
York, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Illinois-and they are going
to use it to bring about the restoration
of free silver. And we ask, and ask
without awe or reverence, what are

of silver, and it must prove that the
quantitative theory of money is ura-
sound This theory has been adhered
to by nearly if not quite all authorities;
but whenever q bimetallist seeks to
give it direct application a general
denial is interposed and spasmodic
fluctuations caused by special condi-
lions are pointed to as proof that the
bimetallists are on untenable ground
This same government report refers
TO the present advance in wheat as
evidence that there is nothing in the
contention of the bimetallists. The
argument used by those who. are
bulling the wheat market is that
foreign crops were short and that the
demand will be greater than the sup
ply. It has never been contended that
such special conditions affecting the
wheat market could not bring about a
rise unless silver should first advance.
General principles operate broadly, and
gradually; special stringent conditions
operate specially and violently. AS
there is claimed to be a special condi-
ton affecting the wheat market, it
follows that it must affect that market
alone; and all the anti-silver argument
based upon it, whether by gold dema-
gogues or servile officials, must fall to
the ground.

employees should note this fact. Their
salaries will not be increased. but their
expenses surely will be. What an In
teresting condition of affairs is prom

Just so many dollars a. year. the pur-
chasing power of the dollar decreased

The salaries of government employees
were fixed long ago, when prices Of
products were much higher than now
When wheat was worth twice as much
as it has recently brought, a congress
man received only $1,000 a year and
government CLERKS also were paid the
same as now There has been no re
duction because OF the shrinkage OF
prices. If salaries were correctly adj
justed before, they are certainly out
of adjustment now. If the pay OF
government employees is not Gun down
they should have very little to say
about any effort of the producers TO
get better prices for their products.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-20


A prediction was published yesterday
morning from the national gold Demo
cratic committee to the effect that 80
per cent. of the sound money" Demo-
Gratis would vote for Palmer and Buck
ner. Everybody knows that that would
insure tie election of Bryan; and,
since the principal object of those who
are running the ticket is to defeat the
regular Democratic nominee, it would
be absurd to suppose that the predic-
ton was put forth in good faith. If the
Palmer managers thought there was
any possibility of even 80 per cent of
the gold Democrats voting this ticket
they would have all their workers out
openly trying to shoe them back into
the Mckinley camp.

OFFICIAL MISREPRESENTATION.

The administration has put its
statisticians at work in an attempt to
prove that there is no relation between
the price of wheat and the price of
silver. A report has just been issued,
which. after giving a lot of figures,
says: I'm the face of such facts as the
foregoing. it would surely be ridiculous
TO discuss the contention that it is the
fall in the price of silver that has
caused the fall in the price Df wheat -
Now, If the administration is to use
its clerical force, paid by the people,
to prepare arguments in support of the
gold standard. it should at least in
struct them to be honest. There is no
honesty. no semblance of honesty, in
the inference put forth that the BIZ
metallists hold that the fall in the price
of silver has caused" the fall in the
price of wheat. The administration
knows what the contention is and it
has no right to. distort it. There is a
grave question If the authorities have
any right to detail government en-
ployees for such service. but they GER
tainly can find no justification for
using them to promulgate misrepresens
tations. It may be proper enough to
furnish data for the guidance of the
people. but 1T is villainous to color it
in such a manner
What the bimetallists claim IS that
the average price of silver is an index
of the average of other values, be-
cause all are alike regulated by the
same standard; and the figures
furnished in this report prove it. From
1872 to 1877 the average price of wheat
was Sill; from 1877 to 1882 it was s1.19;
from 1882 to 1887. s1.O2; from 1887 to
1892, 90 cents, and from 1892 to 1895,
"A cents. Everyone knows that the
effect of decentralization did not begin
to be seriously felt until some years
after the law was passed. During the
five years from 1872 to 1877 we had good
prices for wheat; then the decline be-
gan. and it has continued from that
time to this, the fall in the price of
silver being in about the same proper
ton
II the administration wants TO prove
that the bimetallisfs are wrong it must
advance some reason for the fall in the
prices of wheat and ali other products
coincidently with the fall in the price
