FISHERMAN POL.
ICY

Carlisles recent letter explains, ami
explains. and explains. He takes nearly
two columns to say that he is going to
follow the Sherman Rothschild plan
which has been the new official rule since
Daniel Manning's day.
This plan is that every possible trick
and technicality shall be invoked for the
syndicates and against the people. The
plan, as carried out invents interpreted
ton of contracts always favorable to
Ichelheimer, Morgan and RothschilG,
and always against the people. What
the people do not fully realize is that
this policy is new. 1t is revolutionary.
1t is absolutely without precedent. The
first coinage laws were agreed upon by
Hamilton, the representative of class
interest and special class privilege by
law, and Jefferson. the representative
of the whole people and of the principle
of equal justice to all and special privi-
lege to none.
They agreed on a gold and on silver
unit The gold unit was 24,2 grains of
gold. and the silver unit was BIN grains
of fine silver. The government stamp
meant such an amount of the precious
metal in each case. Either was full
legal tender. The ratio was Is to 1.
No provision was made then, nor has
ever been made by law since. to redeem
one kind of these dollars with the other.
Nor, until the Ichelheimer-Hudelb
demand for a million in gold for million
in greenbacks, was there ever an at
tempt to have the creditor exercise a
dctation upon the United States govern
ment as to which of its legal coins the
creditor should have. The option has
Away legally rested with the people, and
until the 1chelheimer episode, ha al
ways been availed of by the peoples Of
ticers for the peoples benefit.
The Is to ratio undervalued gold,
and silver was standard measure of val
ues in this country until 1884. No at
tempt was ever made in that time to pay
on the gold basis and maintain silver as
subsidiary currency. If such policy

On the 18th of February, 1891, at To-
ledo, before the Ohio Republican league,
Major Mckinley, speaking of President
Cleveland. said:
During all his years at tho head of
the government he was dishonoring one
of our precious metals, one of our own
great products, discrediting silver and
enhancing the price Of gold. He endeay-
ored even before his Inauguration to Of
flee to stop the coinage of silver dollars.
and afterwards and to the end of his adj
ministration persistently used his power
to that end. He was determined to con-
tract the circulating medium and de-
monetize one of the coins of commerce.
limit the volume of money among the
people, make money scarce and there
fore dear. He would have increased the
value of money and diminished the
value of everything else-money the
master, everything else it's servant. He
was not thinking of the poor then. He
had left their side He was not stand
ing forth in their defense Cheap coats,
cheap labor and dear money; the spons-
or and promoter of these protesting to
stand guard over the welfare of the poor
and lowly! Was there ever more glar-
ing inconsistency or reckless assump-
tiOn?'

BLEEDING TO DEATH,

The United States is visibly bleeding
to death; 55,000,00 sterling Of debt have
been contracted in two years, during q
time Of PROFOUND peace, in order to
maintain. If possible, a gold currency.
and another gold loan Is now seen to be
inevitable before the year closes. Does
any one suppose that the Mckinley
nostrum, high protection. IL going to
enable the greatest debtor nation on
earth to pay her foreign debts without
shipping gold, when her staple exports,
wheat, cotton, copper and silver, are
selling as today at half price?
The present depreciation Of the cur
rencies of nine-tenths of the world in
stimulating the exports of all those
Countries, has destroyed the balance of
trade for America. A great rise in the
price of silver would certainly reduce
the gold premium in Asia, in Russia,
and South America, thereby restoring
to the United States that balance Of ex-
ports over imports without which she
must continue to be insolvent. It is
not question of restoring her credit
her ability merely to borrow more; IL
is question of restoring the prices of
what she sells in the European mar
