ABOUT CLASS PREJUDICE.
He Says It Should Not be Appealed
To

1t is a case for painful regret and
solicitude that an effort is being made
by those high in the councils of the
allied parties to divide the people of
this country into classes and create
distinctions among US which, in fact
do not exist and are repugnant to our
form of government. These appeals to
spirit and intelligence of a, free people
and should be met with a stern rebUke
by those they are sought to influence,
and believe they will be.
Every attempt to array class against
class, the classes against the masses, -
section against section, labor against
capital, the poor against the rich, -
United States, is in the highest degree
reprehensible. 1t is opposed to the
national instinct and interest and
should be resisted by every contention.
We are not a nation of classes but of
sturdy, free, Independent and honora-
BILE people despising the demagOgue
and never captivating to dishonOr.
This ever recurring effort endangerS
popular government and is a menace
to our liberties It is not q new cam
paign device or party appeal. It is as
old as government among men, but
was never more untimely and unfOrtu-
nate than now. Washington warned
US against it and Webster said in the
senate, in words which I feel are sin
gularly appropriate at this time It
admonish the people against the object

OPPOSED TO SILVER.

Canton, o., Aug. 27.-Major William
8IcKin1ey's letter of acceptance was is
sued last night. 1t is devoted princi-
paIly to the discussion of what he con-
siders the great questions of the cam
paign-protection, money and reciproc-
ity.
About one-third of the message is de-
voted to a consideration Of the free sill
yer question. He announces that he is
unalterabIy opposed to any such pol
Icy
The silver question in his judgment,
is not the only issue affecting our
money in the pending contest. He con-
siders the declaration of the Democratic
and Peoples parties for unlimited ir-
redeemable paper money as the most
serious menace to our financial stand
ing and credit that could be conceived
and appeals to every patriotic citizen
to promptly meet and defeat it.
He condemns as in the highest de-
gree reprehensible" all efforts to array
class against class, the classes against
the masses, section against section.
labor against capital, the poor against
the rich" or interest against interest.
He considers protection as an issue
of supreme Importance and observes
that while the peril of free silver is a
menace to be feared we are already ex-
periencing the effect of partial free
trade. He recommends the restora-
ton by congress of the reciprocity reso>
luton Of the tariff law of 1890 with
such amendments as the time and ex>
perience teaches right and proper. The
underlying principle of this legislation
he declared should be strictly OBJ

If the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at a ratio of sixteen ounces Of

silver dollar equal to the gold dollar,
then we would have no cheaper dollar
than now and it would be no easier to
get.
But that such would be the result is
against reason and is cOntradicted by
experience in all times and all lands
Free coinage means the debasement of
our currency to the amount between

AND NOW THE TARIFF.
Naturally Mr. Mckinley Thinks This
is of Some Importanca

An issue Of supreme Importance is
that of protection. The peril of free
silver is a menace to be feared; we are
already experiencing the effect of par
tial free trade. The one must be avert
ed; the other corrected. The RepubH-
can party is welded to the doctrine of
protection and was never more earnest
in its support and advocacy than now
If argument were needed to strengthen
its devotion to the American system
or increase the hold of more system
upon the party and people, it is found
in the lesson and experience of the pas
three years. Men realize in their daily
lives what before was to many of them
only history or tradition. They have
had a trial of both systems and know
what each has done for them

/ of the silver bullion would get the sill
yer dollar. It would belong to him and
nobody else. Other people would get it
only by their labor, the products of
their land or something of value. The
bullion owner, on the basis Of present
values, would receive the silver dollar
for 50 cents worth of silver, and other
people would be required to receive ii
as a full dollar in the payment Of debts.
The government would get nothing
from the transaction. It would bear
the expense of coming the silver and
the community would suffer loss by its
use.
We have coined since 1873 more than
400, 600, 600 of silver dollars which are
maintained by the government at par
ity with gold and are full legal tender
for the payment of all debts, public and
private.
How are the silver dollars now in use
different from those which would be in
use under free coinage? They are to
be of the same weight and hneness.
they are to bear the same stamp of the
government. Why would not they be
of the same value? I answer: The sill
yer dollars now in use We're coined on
account of the government and not for
private account or gain and the g0vern>
ment has solemnly agreed to keep them
as good as the best dollars we have.
The government bought the silver bull
lion at it's market value and coined it
into silver dollars. Having exclusive
control of the mintage, it only coins
what it can hold at parity with gold.
The profit representing the difference
between the commercial value of the
silver bullion and the face value of the
silver dollar goes to the government for
the benefit of the people.
The government bought the silver
bullion contained in the silver dollar
at very much less than its coinage
value. It paid it out to its creditors
and put it in circulation among the
people at its face value of one hundred
cents, or a full dollar. 1t required the
people to accept it as a legal tender
and Is thus morally bound to maintain
it at a parity with gold. which was then.
as now, the recognized standard with
US and the most enlightened nations of
the world. The government having
issued and circulated the silver dollar.
1t must in honor protect the holder
from loss. The obligation has so far
been sacredly kept. Not only is there
a moral obligation, but there is a legal
obligation expressed in public statute.
to maintain the parity.
These dollars, in the particulars
have named. are not the same as they
would be under free coinage. They
would be the same in form but differ

it would take upon itself no obHga-
tions. It would not put the dollars into
circulation. It could get them as any
citizen would get them hy giving some
thing for them. It would deliver them
to those who deposited the silver and
its connection with the transaction
would there end.
Such are the silver dollars which
would be issued under free coinage of
silver at a ratio of Is to 1. Who would
then maintain the parity? What would
keep them at par with gold? There
would be a demand upon the govern

tiOns. It would add nothing to the
comfort of the masses, the capital of
the people or the wealth OF the nation.
It seeks to induce a new measure of
value but would add no value to the
thing measured. It would not con-
serve values. On the contrary, it
would derange all existing values. 1t
would not restore business confidence,
but it's direct effect would be to destroy
the little which yet remains.

adopted at Chicago, is that anyone

party has declared in favor of an in
ternatiOnal agreement and if elected
president it will be my duty to employ
all proper means to promote it. The
free coinage of silver in this country
would defer if not defeat international
bimetalliSm and until an international
agreement can be had, every interest re-
quireS US to maintain our present stan
dard.
Independent free coinage of silver at
ratio OF 16 ounces of silver to 1 ounce
OF gold would insure the speedy con-
traction of the volume of our currency.
1t would drive at least $500, 000, 900 gold
dollars which we have permanently from
the trade of the country and greatly
decrease our per capita circulation.
It is not proposed by the Republican
party to take from the circulating me
dunn any silver now. On the contrary,
it is proposed to keep all the silver
money now in circulation on a parity
with gold by maintaining the pledge of
the government that all of it shall be
equal to gold.
This has been the unbroken policy of
the Republican party since 1878 1t has
tnaugurated no new policy. It Will
keep in circulation and as good as gold
all of the silver and paper money which
are now included in the currency of the
country. In will maintain their parity
1t will preserve their equality in the
future as 1t has done in the past. 1t will
not consent to put this country on a sill
yer basis which would inevitably fol-
low free coinage at a ratio of Is to l.
It will oppose the expulsion of gold
from our circulation.
II there is any one thing which should
be free from speculation and f1uctua-
ton 1t is the money of a country. 1t
ought never to be the subject of mere
partisan contention. When we part
with our labor, our products, or our
property, we should receive in return
money which is as staple and I'M
changing in values as the ingenuity Of
honest man can make it.
Debasement of currency IS destruc-
ton of values. No one suffers as much
from cheap money as the farmers and
laborers. They are the first to feel its
bad effects and the last to recover from
them. This has been the uniform ex-
perience of all countries, and here as
elsewhere. the poor and not the rich
are the greater sufferers from every
attempt to debase our money. 1t
would fall with severity upon invest
ments already made; upon insurance
companies and their policy holders; up
on savings banks and their depositors;
upon building and loan associations
and their members; upon the savings
of the thrifty; upon pensioners and
their families and upon wage earners
and diminish the purchasing power of
their wages.

AGAINST NATIONAL MONEY.
He Objects to Issuance of Money by
the Government.

the Government.
The silver question Is not the only
issue affecting our money in the pend
ing contest. Not content with urging
the free coinage of silver it's strongest
champions demand that our paper
money shall be issued directly by the
government of the United States. This
is the Chicago declaration.
The St. Louis Peoples party decla-
ration is: Our national money shall
be issued by the general government
only without the Intervention of banks
of issue, be full legal tender for the
payments Of all debts, public and pri-
waite, and be distributed direct to the
people through lawful disbursements
of the government"
Thus in addition to the free coinage
of the worlds silver, we are asked to
enter upon an era of unlimited ire
ton which was fought out from 1855 to
1875 IS thus to be reopened with all its
cheap money experiments of every con-
ceivable form fOisted upon US. This
indicates a most startling reactionary
policy, strangely at variance with ev-
cry requirement of sound finance; but
the declaration shows the spirit and
ton are cOntending for the control of
the government. Not satisfied with
the debaSement of our coin, which in
eVitably follows the free coinage Of sill
yer at 16 to 1, they would still further
degrade our currency and threaten the
public honor by the unlimited issue of
an irredeemable currency. A graver
menace to our financial standing and
credit could hardly be conceived and
aroused to promptly meet and effect

SILVER MEN PRETENDERs.
It is Foolish to Attribute Hard Times
To Gold Standard.

It is a mere pretense to attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is on a gold basis. Good money
never made hard times. Those who
assert that our present industrial and
financial depression is the result of the
gold standard, have not read American
history Alright or been careful students
of the events of recent years.
We never had greater prosperity in
this country in every field Of employ
ment and industry, than in the busy
years from 1880 TO 1892, during all of
which time this country was on a gold
basis and employed more gold money
in its fiscal and business operations
than ever before. We had, too, a pro
tective tariff, under which ample reve-
nues were collected for the govern
ment and an accommodating surplus
which was constantly applied to the
