SILVER WAS THE UNIT.

Even Before the United States Cover n M emit
Was Established 1t Measured Values.
The silver dollar was the unit of
value in this country even before the
United States government was estab-
lished, and the first coinage act. which
made the silver dollar the unit, only
confirmed what already existed.
Mr.. j. c. Gerville, of New York, has
an old colonial bill of Hts. which
reads as follows:
This bill shall pass current in all payments
the value thereof in gold or silver currency
congress of New York. the I'd day of Septem-
Der. ITO
tSigned) THOMAS TUCKER.
This proves conclusively that the
value of gold and silver currency, and
per force. everything else was at that
time measured in Spanish milled dol
lars When our own minis were es.
tablished in 1892 the American dollar
was made to contain the exact amount
of pure silver in the Spanish milled
dollar, and it was made the unit of
value and so remained until the de-
moneti cation act of 1875. That act,
besides destroying the silver dollar.
made the gold dollar the unit, and
thus dou oled the value of every debt
and cut in half the prices of industrial
products That is what every man in
dorses who votes to sustain the gold
standard.

FUSiONIST REPUBLICANS.
A Patchwork Party of Unstable Policies
and PRINCIPLES.

Patchwork Party of Unstable Policies
and Principles.
The republicans denounce the demo
Gratis for accomplishing fusion of cleo
toral tickets for the presidency with the
peoples and free silver parties in the
western and northwestern states. They
are also very indignant that democracy
is to have the cooperation and chief
support of the same parties in the
south. Some of the extreme populists
of the south, however, who wish to GO
still further than their party in oppo-
sition to gold monometallism and take
more radical ground in other legisla-
ton, are strangely being sought for
coalition with the republicans.
The McKinleyites have given the most
INSCRIPTIONS denunciation of all the
populists, from top to bottom, calling
them anarchists, Jacobins and COM
munists. Now that the largest part
and the most reputable of them have
formed alliances with democracy, the
republicans are greedy to secure the re-
manning and less reliable members of
the populist party. Hanna raised no
objection to them on account of anarch-
ism, not in the least. Training with
the high tariff party covers a multitude
of sins.
The republican party, while denounc-
ing fusions, should remember that it is
nothing but patchwork of fusion in
origin and history. 1t has no abiding
principles or policies. Officeholding is
its chief ambition. It will form an al
lance with anything or anybody to
gain or to retain control. Being the
party of the minority of the whole peo-
pie. its most abiding policy is central
ization of power in the federal govern
ment and curtailment of the powers of
states and of the people. This was the
policy of the federalists of old, and of
the wing party which went into frag-
mentation in 1852.
The republican party to-day is itself
only the political crazyquilt of fusion,
constructed in 1854 by the wings, know
nothings and disconnected office-seek-
ers in other organizations. - Buffalo

TRIBUTE TO ENGLAND.

The Debtor Nations of the World GENEROUSLY
Taxed to Support the Gold Standard.
The characterization of silver was
conceived and carried out by the cred
itor classes intent on increasing the
purchasing power of gold and thereby
increasing the value of all debts. Just
as gold has appreciated and prices
have fallen, an unjust tribute has been
lain on all debtors. and this tribute
the creditor classes have enjoyed. The
discarding of silver as money metal,
leading to the appreciation of gold and
consequent fall of prices has doubled
the quantity of produce that we must
export in payment of interest charges
to our foreign creditors. We are re-
quired to give our foreign creditors
two bushels of wheat and two pounds
of cotton where justice requires but
one. The labor cost of producing cot
ton and wheat has not fallen with the
fall in price. 1t takes as much eX-
penditure of labor and energy to raise
the bushel Of wheat and bale of cotton
to-day as 20 years ago. yet the debt
paying power of wheat and cotton, as
of commodities in general, has been
cut in half by the fall in prices, a fall
due not to cheapening of production,
tition, but to the appreciation of gold.
And this appreciation of gold has been
engineered by the creditor classes with
the purpose of depressing prices, and
thus doubling the sacrifice of labor,
and the products of labor, which their
debtors must surrender to them in sat-
isfaction of their debts.
Thus, when their debtors have re-
NAMED solvent the creditor classes
have been benefited by the fall in
prices. And in Great Britain the
money lenders of London, or rather
the ira ffickers in credit are all power
full. To the creditor classes of Great
Britain the whole world is in debt to
an amount estimated by none at less
than SO. 600. OO0, 600 and by some as high
as $40. 900, OO0, 900. Some idea Of the
immensely of the Indebtedness of the
rest of world to England can be found
by a study of the trade statistics of
Great Britain. As we had occasion to
state recently, Great sBritain's pur-
chase OF commodities for the year 1895

Daniel Webster.s Opinion.

Daniel Webster. the greatest consti-
tutional lawyer and statesman this or
any other country has ever produced,
said: Il am clearly of the opinion
that neither congress nor any othe r
authority can legally demonetize either
gold or silver. The command to con-
gress is to coin money, not to destroy
it; to create legal tender money for the
use of the people, and the grant of
authority to create money cannot be
construed to mean authority to destroy
money! -

greater will be the number of bushels
Of wheat, of pounds of cotton and
wool and of other products that this
500, 600, 900 of annual tribate will buy
and the greater to debtor Hations will
be the burden of this tribute. The ap-
probation of gold which has cut prices
in half has in effect practically
doubled this tribute.
We pay the interest on our foreign
debt to our British creditors by exports
of commodities sold in England The
higher the prices get. the lighter will
be the:burdens of our indie btedness; and
the opening of our minis to silver will
enable our producers to get higher
prices. How? Simply because the in
creased demand for silver caused by
the opening Of our minis to silver and
the decreased demand for gold dzne to
the throwing upon silver, equally with
gold, the burden of effecting our X
changes and supporting our credit fab
ric, would cause the gold-price of
silver to rise until the parity be-
tween gold and silver at the old ratio
would be restored. And, just as silver
rose, the cost to all gold-using peoples,
buying in silver-using countries and
paying with silver, would rise with
the gold-price in silver or silver ex-
change which they have to buy and
send in settlement for purchases made
in such countries.
So, just as silver rose, the British
trader would turn to US to make the
purchases of cotton and wheat and
other produce he mas bought, since the
characterization of silver, in ever-en-
larging volume. from countries in
which gold is at a premium as meas
ured in their currencies. Consequently,
the price our producers could demand
for their products would increase. and
just as the prices received for our ex-
ports rose, the burden of our indebted
ness would be iyhtened. Thus, by
opening our mints to silver, we can es-
cape bankruptcy, which, if we adhere
to the constantly appreciating gold
standard, is inevita
