WHICH SIDE ARE you oN7
Some Test Questions for Undecided vot-
ers to Consider.

Some Test Questions for Undecided Vot-
to Consider.
Are you opposed to sudden contrac-
ton in the volume of money now in
use? A free-coinage law would immedi-
ately drive out of circulation over $780,
100000 in gold.
10 you believe in stable measure of
Values which shall be fair to both debtor
and creditor? The sixteen to one
scheme would put this country on a
fiuctuating silver basis.
Have you money in the bank or loaned
out to anyone? Free silver would cut
the value of your savings in two.
Are you prepared to abandon The
monetary standard which is used by all
the great commercial nations of the
world and adopt that of China, India
and other cheap labor countries? If not,
you should protest against free silver.
Do you believe that common honesty
demands that debts contracted in 100
cent dollars should be paid in money
worth as much as that which was bor-
rowed? Free coinage means the re
pudiation of one-half of all obligations.
Do you know of any way in which
men who are now poor can get rich hon
estly, except by hard work? If not, you
should condemn the quaclSs who are
promising the people to make them all
rich by legislation which will debase
the currency.
Would you like to see capital album
dant and interest low? Money is far
more plentiful and interest rates are
lower In gold standard nations than in
the silver-using countries.
Do you consider it important to the
interests of trade and industry that
there should be no uncertainty in re-
gard to the basis of the country's finan-
ces? Then you must oppose the sense
less agitation which is checking the in
vestment of capital and depressing bust
ness.
Would you like to see the purchasing
power of the worlIingman's wages cut
down one-half by a currer ~ law which
should declare that 50 cents worth of
silver was ''dollar?" Under free coin
age this country would have silver
monometallism, with double prices for
everything the workers buy.
Are you willing to bring on "a fnan-
cial panic, caused by the calling in of
loans through fears Of free-silver repu-
diation, merely for the sake of trying
cheap money experiments which have
always resulted in disaster? Ifnot, and
if YOU want an honest dollar and pros
perity, you should work and vote
against all attempts to debase the cur
rency.-Whidden Graham.

whr NIinnesota hi I'm 1anla.

Minnesota democrats declared I'M
equivocally for the gold standard.
They did so unexpectedly. The big
delegations from Minneapolis and Du-
luth were pledged for sixteen to one,
and it was taken for granted the coun-
try delegations would favor free silver.
Why did they vote for gold?
Several reasons have been suggested.
The one most often met with is that the
farmers are composed largely of honest
and intelligent Scandinavians and Ger
mans who cannot be caught with free
silver sophistry. As over IS per cent.
of Minnesota's population is foreign
born, this answer may be partly true.
A more reasonable explanation, how
ever, is found in The reported state
ment that large portion of the farm
mortgages in Minnesota are made pay
able in gold coin Of the United States
of the present sta ndard of weight and
fineness." Being compelled to pay
their debts in gold. the farmers wish
to receive as good money when they sell
their products.
The fact that far larger portion of
mortgages viii contain the gold clause
next November than now may spoil
many votes for the sixteen TO one
scheme.
