The Real Currency contraotionists.

While the silverites are bowling them
selves hoarse over ''gold standard CON
traction of the currency" the people
who believe in steadily expanding
volume Of money should keep in mind
the fact that free coinage at 16 to,
would be the greatest contraction meas
ure of the age: 1t would put the coun-
try on a single silver standard, would
drive gold out OF use, would brighten
investors into Withdrawing loans,
would make it impossible for the gov
eminent to redeem it's paper obligations
in coin of any kind, would cause the
suspension of banks by creating panic
among depositors, and by establishing a
precedent for the Reputation of debts
would greatly curtail the operations of
our present credit system. If currency
contraction is an evil, the people who
favor expansion should vote to sustain
the present system of gold and silver,
under which the volume Of money has
increased from $18 in 1878 to $23 at
the present time.

Farm Wages and Profits.

Ex-Governor Boies of Iowa says that
he cannot pay the present rate of wages
and make his $500 acre farm pay. He
says that no farmer who has to hire his
help can make money at farming under
the gold standard. Ex-Congressman
Bland says that wages Of all kinds will
rise under free coinage.
It would naturally be inferred from
Boies' statement that he wants free
coinage to lower farm wages SO that the
big farmers can make money out of the
labor of others. Bland's opinion evil
IDENTIFY is that free coinage would be a
good thing for the farm laborer and
therefore, so far as wages are concerned.
a bad thing for the boss farmers.
The two leading free coinage advo-
Gates should get together. 1t might also
be well for farmers and 'farmhands >
to investigate these conflicting state

HOW TO SETTLE 1T.
Only One Way Out of the Silver Question,
Says Congressman Warner.

Ex-Congressman John De Witt War
ner opposes ex-Congressman Richard r.
Bland in discussion of the money
question in the New York Journal OF
July /. Unlike many eastern men, Mr..
Warner has high opinion of the abil-
ity, character and motives OF the silver
people. He thinks that both the leaders
and those in the ranks of the 16 to l
army are earnest, industrious, sober and
God fearing American citizens, who are
smarting under actual grievances as to
the real cause of which they are greatly
mistaken. We quote the following as a
part of Mr.. Warmers views:
This proposed law to make people &C,
cept silver is not asked for by anybody
who wants silver. 1t is just because
people do not want silver and will not
take it unless compelled to do so that
our free silver friends want law to
make them take it. The only people
who want the law are, therefore, not
those who want silver, but those who
want to get rid of silver, or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
more cheaply, want to make their cred
itors take it instead. 1t may be said
that, as to future matters we could
make special contracts calling for gold.
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver. AS matter of fact,
large and increasing proportion of con-
tracts do provide specially for payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
hears of silver contracts. The reason is
no one prefers silver except for the pur-
pose of forcing it upon some one else.
The most serious feature of the pres
ent situation is not so much the predica-
ment in which we find ourselves as the
apparent disposition in both parties not
to take the only way out, which, If l
may suggest it, is to accept the situa-
ton that the commerce, of the world has
created for ITSELF to recognize its gen,
eral acceptance of the gold standard,
and, leaving to commerce the >things
that belong to commerce, to resist any
attempt at interference either by our
own government independently or by
any combination between it and those
of other nations.
Personally I believe gold to be far
superior to any other standard that is
even remotely practicable, but if our
commerce preferred silver should con-
slider it measureless impertinence, on the
part of congress to interfere with that
preference And so, certain as I am that
our commerce finds it more profitable
and natural to use gold as standard, |
am all the more opposed to any attempt
by congress to interfere with the natural
course of business. y n y Bad as would be
the effect of free silver, more and more
of us are concluding that few years of
apprehension and financial paralysis,
such as we have had, would be more
damaging than the actual experience of
free coinage of silver, trial of which
would at least establish certain facts
and destroy sundry delusions.
Morris tribune., 1896-07-15
Free Coinage Plainly Stated.

1t is important to remember that
free coinage means the right of every
owner of bullion to present the same to
the minis of the United States and have
it coined without charge into money
Under the free coinage of silver, the
owner of BTU grains of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over tc
the United States mint and have it
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
right would be extended to the whole
world, and the amount of silver coinage
would be limited only by the capacity
of our minis and the output of the silver
mines.
If have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and
the ratio, - we are now prepared to dis
cuss understanding the feasibility Of
opening the minis Of the United States
to the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer by this country alone at the ratio Of
16 to l. For myself, after the most ma
ture deliberation, / have been unable to
reach any other conclusion than that
such a step would be attended with the
most serious consequences to the country
and involve all our people in common
disaster.
In the first place, the free and unlim
tied coinage of silver at l6 to would
in my Judgment expel from our circula-
ton not only our entire volume of gold,
but every dollar of paper money redeem
able in gold and cause contraction OF
the currency and resultant panic the
like of which has not been seen in this
generation. Senator J. G. Burrows.

The Monstrous Wrong.

The "monstrous wrong for which
Governor Boies arraigns the Republic.
ans is, the Philadelphia Telegraph says,
"the wrong of giving the poor man the
best money in the world and assuring
him that what little property he may
possess or may acquire shall not be put
in jeopardy by the uncertainties of q
shifting and questionable currency; the
wrong of insisting that the dollar paid
to the wage Garner shall be worth 100
cents and shall not be cut down to sc
cents. -

Some Safe Bets.

"Silver is now worth about SO cents
an ounce. The silver bullion in dol
lar is worth about ga cents Free silver
coinage would raise the price of silver
to 1919 cents an ounce, and the silver in
an American dollar would be worth 81
in gold the world over even without a
government stamp on it. ''-Ex-Con
gresham R. P. Bland in New York
World of July l, 1896.
If you have a neighbor who thinks
Bland is a great statesman, and who is
willing to back his opinion with money,
and who would have anything to lose
after going through the free coinage
cyclone, here are some of the perfectly
safe bets you can make him:
First. THAT free coinage would not
in one year raise the price of silver to
81 per ounce (You can bet on any
number of years, but would have to
wait longer before the bet could be set
tied.
Second. That the price of silver will
be lower. one year after than one year
before the passage of free coinage act.
Third. That the price OF silver will
be less than so cents per ounce when a
free coinage act has been in effect six
months or one year.
Fourth THAT at no time within one
year after free coinage at 16 to has
become law will an American silver
dollar be worth as much as rs per cent
of the value of an American gold dollar.
If you cannot get even bets, give odds.
The price of silver is determined
mainly by the cost of production. All
the silver the world can use can be pro-
duced at less than Is and probably less
than 70 cents per ounce, No legislation
can raise, except for short time, the
price Of silver It is to be hoped that we
will never be forced to make this fool
ish free coinage experiment, but if we
do we should, if we can find takers, re-
coup some of our certain losses by bet
ting on the inevitable.
