New York and New JERSEY.

William e. Sackett, author of "Mod.
ern Battles at Trenton" a well known
political writer in New Jersey and New
York and a firm believer in the single
gold standard, said to a reporter for the
Washington Post:
II am astounded at the progress the
free silver men are making in New York
and New Jersey. Do you know that of
the ~ delegates who went from New
York to Chicago firm in their convic-
tions for a single gold standard unit
international agreement could be effect
ed 40 OF that number returned to their
homes converted to the free coinage of
silver platform Of the convention? Of
the 20 delegates from New Jersey 16
returned declaring their intention to
work for and support the free silver
plank, They declared this not so much
because they deemed it their duty to
abide by. the action Of the convention,
but because they had become redhot
enthusiasts for free coinage. Today they
believe in it as firmly as they believed
in gold a week before the convention
was held.
Tho most astonishing thing concern
ing the rapid strides of free silver in
these two states is that it is in direct
opposition to an almost united press in
each state. The newspapers are almost
a unit in opposing free coinage, many of
the Democratic papers heing even more
rabid in their denunciations of it than
the Republican DaperS: but. notwitb-
standing, the movement is growing
and growing SO rapidly that it will not
surprise me in the least if the electoral
votes of New York and New Jersey are
cast for Bryan and Sewall. 1 have Just
made a trip through each of these
states, and l found everywhere outside
of the large cities an enthusiasm for the
free coinage of silver that has startled
me. The friends of sound money will
have hard work to counteract this grow
ing sentiment before November ar
rives.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1896-10-31

Mi. Moreton Frewen, e of the best
known authorities on t silver ques-
ton, said to a reporter in London the
other day:
II personally agree with MI. Bryan
that If the United States should open
her minis at ! to 16 she can raise the
exchange value of silver all the world
over to her rating. I hold this opinion
not upon any mere grounds of theory,
but upon what we actually saw during
the month of June in 1898. We saw the
mlnts Of India closed, and we saw, the
effect of that closure, the price of silver
TALL more than % per cent in five days.
II the closing of the Indian mints single
handed has such a colossal effect as that
upon the price of silver bullion, how
great would be the effect experienced If
the United States, with her enormous
exporting power, were to open her minis
to free coinage? 1t seems to me almost
a rule of three sum that with the
minis open in the United States silver
would go to 1919 cents an ounce and re.
main there. | agree in holding this view
with President Andrews of Brown uni.
versity, and with a number of authori.
ties on this side Of the water, including
Mr.. FL. H.. Gibbs and Nh. Grenfell, both
~ex-governors of the Bank of England;
who stated this view explicitly in the
evidence they gave before the royal com.
mission on currency in 1887"

What Contraction Does.

Let us see what it is that a contrac.
ton in currency does. The fewer the
dollars in circulation of course the more
the dollars which remain in circulation
will buy. A dollar which once bought
a bushel OF wheat now buys two bush.
els of wheat-that is, the farmer has to
raise two bushels Of wheat to get a dol
lar, instead of one bushel, as formerly.
SO the manufacturer sells his goods for
half what he used to get for them. In
adapting himself to a contracted curren
cy the manufacturer or trader loses very
heavily. The borrower of none is a
heavy loser.
He pays not only interest, which is
harder to raise every year, since the
purchasing value of money increases
with contraction, but he is bound to pay
a principal much larger, reckoned in
the purchasing value of money, than
his original loan. 1t is not at all sur
prising that the capitalist wants the
present system continued. 1t is and has
been a bonanza to him. With the year.
~ increasing value of a dollar he would
become enriched even if there were no
interest %accruing. No one need wonder
when he sees the capitalist strong for
the gold standard. Contraction in cur
rency is and always has been the great
panic maker. CHARLES J. Bellamy.
