ALL CAUSED BY ATTACKING THE
STANDARD OF VALUE.

The distress and failures which have
been so great all over the country and
notably here at home have to our mind,
been plainly caused by the attack which
the clamor for the free coinage Of silver
has made upon the standard Of value
We believe the possibility of enactng
n free-silver law in this country IS def
nitelv ended. Nevertheless, there was
considerable period during which the dan
ger that IL might be done was believed
bv capitalsts to be so imminent that they
refused 10 embark in business enter
rrises They said that II they allowed
their capital to get into the form OF other
mems promises to pay dollars, yhey
might have nfty-cent dollars returned 10
them for their hundred-cent dollars
This brought the great bulk Of business
n a standstiIl. And If there was no
trading property had to lose great part
of its value. Property cannot he held
~, IN a fixed value merely because its
owner chooses to put that value upon IT,
There must be purchasers as well as sen
ers for this TO happen. The threat oil
FREQ silver. therefore, arrested tradlhs
ond hpsiness. this took purchasers out
of tho market. property gradually sagged'
and the result was that all men DIVINE
dehts had their debts left upon them'
while the value Of their assets was di-
,,i,iebed Failure was the necessary
outcome of this.
The stoppage Of building. the stoppase
Of manufactures, the discharge of work
men is all due to the attack upon the
standard Of value. While gold money
is niled I'D and lending in London at
ono-balf of one per cent. per annum' on
call and at about one and a hah per
cent. for mercantile paper, on long hme'
wa have seen It in this country at . 10
% and even more, and hard to get at
that.
Tho English capitalist wants 10 get
a retnrn mon his money, and he regards
and r per cent. as very high rates OF
interest. but he first Of all wants to be
sure he will get back his principal. lie

| factories. and merchants with money il
he had reasonable assurance that III
would be repaid. with interest in the
same standard Of value in which 1t was
received. But our frec-siiver shouters
have declared that they would not do
this. Is it any wonder therefore, that
the wen-spring Of our credit has been
dried up?
The men who organized this attack
upon the country's standard Of value have
crime to answer for before their God
almost as black as the crime Of Ghengis-
| Kahn They may plead their ignorance and
folly in excuse and none can know what
weight their Maker may give TO that plea.

his vote, and this ballot IL posted at one
or moro places near the voting precinct
in order that the voter may be Informed
as TO where TO put his marks; and ex-
perience has shown that only a simple
cross-mark should be allowed, as other
wise tho voter would be- enabled to put
some secret mark on the ballot when
would Indicate how he had voted. IL
has also been provided that tho N.'er
should receive further instruction HON
the Judges 50 that he might have ample
opportunity TO learn how TO mark rs
ballot and he should then retire 10 the
booth alone to prepare IT. or course IN
the case OF a voter physically unao't,
from blindness or otherwise, TO prepare
ballot. one Of the judges chosen by him
should prepare 1t in the preseace OF ne
other officers Of election.

essential requisites for a true ballot sys-

yet the advantages OF having the vo'or
absolutely removed from ally disturbing
or corrupting influences, after giving Linn
fully and fairly all the instruction that
any person OF ordinary intelligence, liter
ate or illiterate, could reasonbly reGrre.
more than overbalances the objection tfat
some ilitorate voters might possibly vote
wrong, and that others might decline to
vote at all. II Is well known that with
the most carefully considered ballot sys-
tenn in which every device and improve
ment has been adopted, some educated
voters have made mistakes, yet this Is no
reason why n system which conscien-
tiously aims to accomplish the greatest
good to the greatest number should be
abandoned. The plan that we have out
lined IS absolutely constitutional, abso-
lutely secret, and absolutely fair. 1t is
wise, It is just, and it should be adopted.
