We publish this morning part Of the
speech Of Representative McCluary of
Minnesota, delivered in the House of
Representatives IN February on the sill
Yer question. 1t is long, but 1t will re-
pay perusal by anyone who is anxious
to get at the facts. 1t is not a partisan
speech, but calm, dispassionate and
fair consideration of the facts. 1t is es-
pecially strong in showing up the falsity
of the claim of the silveritss that prices
have fallen because of the demonstration
Of silver. The correct settlement Of the
currency question is SO intimately asso-
ciated with the public welfare, and so
much depends upon 1t for veal or woe
for the mass of the people that we earn
estly urge them to read this speech.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-08-01

Our silver dollars under free coinage
are going to be of equal purchasing
power with the present dollars or they
are not. Nobody pretends that they will
be of more. and SO if they are not equal
they will be of less. Let us assume that
they will be Of the same. Then what
will happen. The only way for most
people to get dollar in this world is to
give something for it. unless ITO STEALTH.
and, though occasionally we hear men
talk as If they thought the silver dollars
proposed were to be distributed among the
people gratis, we have no doubt that most
OF the people will have to give labor Or
products to get them. If it is to be of the
same purchasing power as the present
dollar then the farmer will have to give
just as much of his products and the
laborer of his lator to get 1t as he has
to give to get the present one. So neith-
er OF these classes will be any better off.
They can't get any more of them and
they can not scale down their debts, if
any, by means of them. If they are of less
purchasing power the people may get
them for less but they must buy less with
them. If everybody discoyt red the dimin-
ished purchasing power OF the dollar at
the same time and had the same ability
to protect himself then it would make no
great difference, except as regards pre-
existing debts, if the purchasing power
were reduced. But such is not tbs case.
The store keeper discovers the fall of the
dollar long before the laboring man and
nd usts the prices of his goods to the
new measurement long before the wage
Garner OF the man on salary does or
can. the price of his labor. "The very
man of all others" said Daniel Webster
"who has the deepest interest in a sound
currency, and who suffers most by mis-
chievious legislation in money matters,
is the man who earns his daily bread by
his daily toll. A deprecated currency,
sudden changes of prices, paper money
falling between morning and noon, and
falling still lower between noon and
night, these things constitute the very
harvest time of speoulators, and of the
whole race Of those who are at cnce idle
and crafty. But the laboring man, what
can he hoard? Preying on nobody he
becomes the prey Of ALL" And again

the same great statesman said: GA dis.
ordered currency is one of the grestestEof
political evils. 1t undermines the virtues
necessary for the support of the social
system and encourages propansiuies des-
tructive to its happiness. We might
quote Indefinitely that 1t is always the
people whoiwork for living Ewho suffer
most from depreoiated dollar. The
people who reap the harvest in such
times according to Mr.. Webster are the
speoulators-the Wall street people.
