A FREE SILVER SPEAKER ON HIS
TORY.

NJ. F. Taylor of Denver, Colo, at a
free silver meeting held in Metropoli-
tan hall on Wednesday evening of last
week, is reported to have used the fol-
lowing illustration to make good his as
sertion that the United States would
be able to maintain a silver dollar at
par with gold at the ratio of 1G to /. He
said:
Il see no reason in waiting until
some other nation shall make good our
own American dollar. We are better
able to make it good, and without re,
gard to any other man or nation, than
we were when only a handful of ragged
rebels at Valley Forge 115 years ago"
The inference which the speaker de-
sired to be made is that we had sue
feeded against England in the revo-
luton, and could. from our increased
strength, the more easily do so again.
Every Il knows that we succeeded
n Obtaining Ii independence on the
ieid of battle, but what has that to do
with the question whether we could
force SO cents to pass for a dollar? You
can as easily make the territorial lin.
It's CT the country larger by calling a
rod a mile. All history. filled with SINH
lar attempts, is against the proposition.
The history of he very time the speak
er alluded to is aglinst it.
Tha American government issued it's
continental currency as a war measure,
it depended for redemption merely on
faith in its weak and struggling people
to secure their independence and form
a government. The people were as pat
riotic as any the world has ever known ;
but that continental paper currency
Went promptly to a discount in tho
dealings of its own people. The Ameri,
can congress declared, in order to sup.
port its money at par, that anyone who
refused to take it at par with silver
was an enemy to the country and sub
ject to contiscation of his goods as a
penalty. In spite of patriotism. in
spite of penalties, a silver dollar in 1881
was worth 500 dollars in continental
paper. And let us add that this very,
issue of continental money is today
still awaiting redemption.
We have said enough to show that
the United States did not succeed in
forcing a dollar to be taken at par
whose value was not at par, either in
trinsically or through faith in its re-
demption, without regard to- any
other nation" No nation has ever
done it. No nation ever will do 1t.
Men will suffer confiscation. imprison-
ment, torture and death rather than
accep; a currency at par that 10 not
