There is scarcely any point In the

ton OF the intrinsic value OF the money
unit. on this the security and steady
value OF property essentially depends.
Gold may. perhaps. In certain senses.

tries.

There can hardly be better rule In
any country for the legal than for the
market proportion. The presumption
in such case Is that each metal finds
It's true level according TO its intrinsic
utility In the general system Of money
operations. As long as gold. either
from It's intrinsic superiority as a
metal, from It's rarity, or from the pre-

am absolutely convinced that the Ia

all from free silver coinage. q.
The question OF free and unlimited
coinage Of silver is put in the fore
ground. The question has It's import
ance; but It is OF a minor Importance
in the presence Of other questions which
are brought into Issue The movement
which had It's expression in the Chicago
convention, and which now seeks by
means Of popular suffrage to enthrone
itself In the capitol Of the nation. is in
its logical effect against the United

had consigned to eternal death at Ap-
pomattox. but which demands again

If we coin a silver dollar of full legal
tender, obviously below the value of
the gold dollar we are opening wide

THOMAS b. REED,

In dreamland every creditor is a
rich man, and every debtor is a poor
man. Eut In the real world that is not
SO. The time was when a debt used to
represent how far behind a man had
got in the world. Today 1t represents
his belief I'm the future, and some Of
your ablest and strongest men are the
men who in times of prosperity are car
rying the biggest load of debt, Every
big institution in the country is in debt,
and when il is most prosperous It is in
debt the most. . Now. put ii to
you as men of sense, plain men of
sense, would you lend money If you
had It to any man or set of men, or any
nation. which you knew was trying to
devise some way whereby you would
get back only half of It? You may not,
like silver man, understand currency.
You may not be able to daily with sta
tlstlcs, but you understand that simple
proposition.
