ance to the essential principles of
justice and liberty upon which our
institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has
advocated from Jefferson's time to

of the States, and in its assertion
OF the necessity of combining the

damental principles of the con-
vention.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all others
at this time, we invite the atten
ton to the fact that the federal
constitution names silver and gold
together as the money metals of
the United States, and that the
first coinage law passed by con-
gress under the constitution made
the silver dollar the monetary unit
and admitted gold to free coinage
at the rate based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1878,
demOnetizing silver without the
knowledge or approval of the
American people, has resulted in
the appreciation of gold and a cor.

pie, a heavy increase in the burden

We are uaalterably opposed; to

brought other nations into fnan-

on the Uuited States only by the
sitting of that spirit and love of

that Watson has an inkling of
this plan, and that he will make
some trouble when they start to
carry it out.
Logan Carlisle, chief clerk of
the treasury department, and a
son of Secretary Carlisle, has
bolted Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform and announced
his intention to vote for McIlin-
ley and Hobart, unless a gold
democratic ticket is put up. This
is regarded as indicating to GER
tainty the position of Secretary
Carlisle, as. it is hardly probable
that Logan Carlisle would have
come out so plainly on this mat
ter without having discussed it

ably certain that unless his father

Answers to Questions About Money

ST. Paul Pioneer Press: First--There
would, of course. be no objection to the
free coinage of silver if it advanced in
value to par with gold at the ratio of
16 to and could be maintained at par
with gold. But the assertion that it
would so advance is an absurdity. 1t
is contradicted by universal experience
at all times and in all countries. All
the power of the Latin union or of the
united governments of France, Bel
gium. Italy and Switzerland was un-
able to arrest the decline Of silver
when it was only very small fraction
less valuable than gold at the ratio Of
15s to 1. They gave up the job and
closed their mints to silver, in order to
prevent their being swamped with it
and all their gold from being driven
out. In this country, during the fif-
teen wears from 1878 to 1893, our GOV.
ernment bought up large proportion
of the entire product of our silver
mines, and in the last three years their
entire product and more, and yet sill
yer kept on rapidly declining. All the
lsilyer we could coin in the next fifteen
years with our present mint facilities
would not exceed the 5000, 900, ,09o-ot
lbullion rated at its coinage value whicw

The Silver Leaders.

St. Louis Globe Democrat: The cru.
sade for free silver is represented by
its orators to be a movement particu-
larry in the interest of poor men. They
never tire of proclaiming that the
rich are all for the gold standard, and
that it must, therefore, be bad thing
for people OF small means or no means
at all. But is it true that the rich are
all unanimously against free silver? 1t
requires but little investigation to as
certain that such is not the case. Some
of the most conspicuous of the free sill
yer leaders are milionaires. Senators
Teller, Jones and Stewarteare all rich
men. The same is true of Newlands,
who presided over the Silver ConYen-
ton, and of Lane, who contributed
$500 to the expenses ofthat body. The
most active and influential mem bers of
the Chicago convention were not poor
men, but men of comfortable fortunes,
most of them having large interests in
silver mines. These men are not in
any trouble about the payment of their
debts or the earning of a living. They
are the holders, not the givers, of
mortgages; and all their talk about
solicitude for the welfare OF the farm
ers and laborers is sham aud mockery.
AS matter of fact, the only men
who are likely to profit by the triumph
of free coinage are those who own sill
yer mines These men have furnished
the money to carry on the agitation
for silver. They have supported the
various organizations by which lectur-
ers have been sent out, and lobbyists
kept in Washington, and literature
scattered over the country to boom the
white metal. 1t is idle to suppose that
they done all this in the spirit OF phil
anthropists, and for the purpose OF pre-
venting the cruci6Xion of mankind on
cross of gold. They have been actu-
ated by motives OF a strictly selfish or
der; they are today seeking advantag-
es for themselves, without the least de-
sire TO help any body else. Their money
| is behind the silver crusade simply be-
cause they are thus trying to make a
market for the product of their mines
at an exorbitant price. The thing is a
speculation with them, and if it wins
thay will gain millions by it, at the ex
pense of all the rest of their fellow citi
zens. They have bullion to sell, an6
their principal object in life is to fois
it upon the country at twice its rea
value and substitute it for the SOUND
and satisfactory money now in use. No
body can expect to be benefited by free
coinage but these mine owners who arr
contributing so freely to the silve1
campaign fund; and surely the intelli
gence of the American people will no
permit such scheme to succeed.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1896-08-13

we bought in that period of fifteen
years. If we could not arrest it's de-
cline by these enormous purchases,
how could we expect to raise 1t to par
by coming 5000, 100000 million more in
q like period? There is no reason in
the world to suppose that if our mints
were opened to free coinage it would
add anything whatever to the market
price of silver.
Second-The 16 to people have gen
orally given up claiming that free coin
age would raise silver to par with gold,
but those who still make that prepos-
ferrous claim assume that the simple
fiat of the government would do the
business. But if the simple fiat of the
government will raise SO cents worth OF
silver to par with 100 cents worth OF
gold, it would 10 or 5 cents worth OF
silver to she same royal rank. But il
the fiat of the government can be re.
lied on to work this sort of miracle.
| why fool with silver at all? Why not
exercise its creative power on some
cheaper material, say copper or TIM
For that matter, what would be the
use of bothering with any sort OF met
al? For if the government can make
something out OF nothing it can find nc
cheaper, better or more convenient ma.
terial than paper. And, as matter OF
fact, if you press free silver man to
this logical result of his theory he will
admit it. Scratch thorough-going
free silver man and you will find fiat
money idiot under his skin.

Col. Fred Grant states that from
frequent conversations with his
father on the standards of cur
rency he is positive that he never
told any person that he would
have vetoed the act of 1873 if he
had known that the silver dollar
would be dropped from the cein-
age.
