I probable th9- tle CAil2man, the Hin
/ Goos and ths japanese are going 10 ssna
the.r silver to this country to 0e ccinei
Into money? Why should they do il?
. They naed E G. home for currency, as
f the money CT the realm. I, is the mon
ev O. their fathers, and they VIII 10
mere Part with it wi,hou, whac they
-hink to be value received than al
American viii part with an American
dollar Without value received. There
( IS TO ear ly danger Of silver coming
sr7m Asia. On The ether hand Asia is
the grea: consumer Of silver and he
higher the price Of silver the lsss does
:. do in carrying AsiaIc produces to
Europe in competition with American
'0ro5uc.s such as wheat and cotton.
~ {. IS now. American silver is al
most all bought in London, sent 20 Asia,
there exchanged for corn, co&on, tea,
silks and @ cousand end cre o.her pro-
dues that are brought back into Euro
pcan markets and there used TO shut on.
The produces Of American farms ana fac
.olfes. Certainly London and all Eng
ls7I. ,ha IS. 50 far IS the great none
t--v cen res are concerned, are opposed
q, The Tree coinage Of silver in America.
They want TO buy cur silver cheap, Il
. is tbe rrsat means OF exchange between
.he O~'z- and themselves.
Satisfies snow TIA. silver and cotton
/ and wheat kesp on q par; there is par
Iiv be.ws them. An ounce Of silver
6ays today IS much whea, and cotton
or tea ana coffee in Asia or even in
! America as I, ever bought. /, is gold

f-l in silver ,h2. star;les the world: j.

shortened y2rGsick that IS being used.
The re-g.- IS jus. tho same as i mer-

his hon debts and the laborer twice
as much laboc.
Again. is there any danger of the Eu-
/ rc0ear coun ,ries taking their subsidiary
coins and sending them to the United
/ States wh-n we have free coinage to be
coined mo American dollars? They are
now coined in all those countries SUB
+ star. tally at The rado OF 1919 to I, which
makes silver for taat use s per cent.
mere than /. would be IN tlis country
F for coin on ratio Of IS to1. Those graz
European countries ara NOS doing that
kind CT folly. and there is, therefore, no
for cny silver coming from Europe
20 be coined mo American dollars.
Why do we use the word ''fear?' It
would be one of the greatest blessings
ta.. could happen 20 this country to
have the silver Of the world come here
and be coined INTO money and have thst
money exchanged for American pro-
due IS. Il woall give such stimulus
70 al our ualufac ores. TO all cur
farming. in FAC, to all business, as this
country never knew before Men Go
70. Give away money except in acts Of
charity. Els. ness means making mon
e.. exchanging on produc. fer another,
and he money is simply The vehicle
which transports the goods, which
makes he exchange possible between
/ one country and ano,her or between
man and man except in mere eases Of
barter Where goods are swapped.
The fear Of an influx Of silver hat
would be dsIe.er.ous to this country is
but q golibug bugsboo; there is nothing
init. Under free coinage bo,h gold and
silver VIII De produced, undoubtedly in
much greater quantities than at PRES
en.. Where here is a demand for any
produce Of human skill and industry,
enterprise. energy and industry com
b.ne TO NEE. that dnanj. hence our
own mines hat are now lying idle would
( be open and worked; silver and gold,
for as God created them together in the
elr.h ,a-y would be both brough, out in
f grce .er abundance. more men would be
nj work, there would BE q greater de-
mard for supplies for he mines, more
mons y would be coined and go into cir
culs..1n and every industry in he Uni
. ,ei States would be Walled ard a new
. era eff prosperity come again. Legisla-
to1 woC'd nc. be all in he interest Of
bond d-c.Cs and money lenders; tne
people would AXE hear, ard feel that
