Then and Now.

The monopolistic assertions Of
the Republican gold bug papers
against silver and IN favor Of a
gold standard can be most effect
ually answered by quoting the
expressions Of it's leaders during
the past twenty years and Civ
ing extracts from official docu-
1nents issued by republican ma
tional committees.
The silver plank in the repub-
lean platform in 1892 was III
these words:
The American people from CON
dition and interest, favor binet
allisn and the republican party
demands the use OF both GOLD
AND SILVER AS A STANDARD MON
Ely.
Their candidate president
Harrison in his letter Of accept
ance Endorsed all that had been
said by his party and used this
emphatic and unmistakable
language:
The resolution of the conven-
ton in favor of binetallism de
clares, | think, the true and
necessary conditions of a move
ment that has, upon these lines,
my cordial adherence and sup
port. I AM THOROUGHLY
CONVINCED THATTHE FREE
COINAGE OF SILVER AT
SUCH A RATIO TO GOLD AS
WILL MAINTAIN THE EQUA-
LITY IN THEIR CONNER
GAL USES OF THE TWO
COINED DOLLARS WOULD
CONDUCE TO THE PROSPER
ITY OF ALL THE GREAT
PRODUCING AND CONNER
CIAL NATIONS Of the world.
An the New York Tribune, III
speaking Of this plank of the
Minneapolis platform, said:
The declaration Of the silver
question is free from ambiguity.
The republicans realized that
these propositions were SO self
evident, and they SO fully appre-
ciated that the people would not
support a party which did not
subscribe to them, that they in
corporated III their campaign
book distinct announcement in
favor of these principles.
The republican, campaign book
page 1877 says.
Some money lenders who are
money monopoTsts want scare
~e1- money that it may be dearer
The honest wage earntrs, the
tillers of the soil and other pro
ducers who would rob no man
want more money, but good
money. More money they be
lieve, is required by the constant
growth of commerce and indust-
ry.
