at is gold that has gone up. The
purchasing power of gold has doubled
and our people are obliged to pay their
debts, principal and interest, in dollars
which as matter of fact are 2OO-cent
dollars. rs."-Governor Altgeld.
sand yet the governor can buy Just
as much flour and bacon and cigars
with silver as with gold dollar
The Bryan-Altgeld idea is to lift silver
to 900 also, as it were by pulling on
its boot-straps."
Let's see. If "a gold dollar is 200
cent dollar, and silver dollar is worth
today just as much as a gold dollar.
then the silver dollar must be also a
20o-cent dollar. That's pretty plain
isn't it? Well, this country has 65oOoo-
600 of such silver dollars, every one of
them worth 200 cents if any single gold
dollar anywhere is worth 200 cents.
Now. according to "the Bryan -Altgeld
idea," it is proposed to pull the gold
dollar down from it's 2OO-cent altitude
but what will be the fate of those
650,OO0,O 600 fsilver dollars that now have
precisely the same altitude as the gold
dollar? Are they to be pulled down
too-or is it the idea of these "friends
of silver" to still leave these hundreds
of millions up there? 1t is difficult to
see how they could do anything Of the
sort. So then, their idea must be to
haul down 650,OOO.OO0 of silver dollars
from their present altitude. But they
declare there are only few paltry mil
lions of other silver in the world to
come here-that there is no danger
whatever of any tremendous amount
being dumped upon us with a dull
sickening thud-nothing like G5O,O ,OOO,-
600 of silver dollars worth. So, then,
they are willing to pull down and tre-
menduously discredit this enormous
quantity-65o,Oo dollars which we
now have-in order to benefit the few
driblets which they say comprise all
that could come to us! And still they
call themselves "the friends of silver.''

Blaine never favored the free and
unlimited coinage of silver dollar
that did not contain a dollars worth of
silver bullion, and the extracts that
are being printed and used as state
ments from that great man are frauds,
because they are merely garbled ex-
tracts from Blaine's speeches. We
defy anyone to prove by any complete
statement, or argument, ever made by
Blaine that he was in favor of tho free
and unlimited coinage of silver unless
a silver dollar contained a full dollars
worth of silver at it's bullion value.

The fact that the United States mints
coined 2,265.OO0 silver dollars in the
month of August will strike many peo.
pie with surprise; also the fact that
since February last more than eleven
millions of such dollars have been
coined, and since November, 1893, more
than fifteen millions. Thus it will be
seen that during the past six or seven
months our silver coinage has in
creased almost as fast as it did under
the Bland act.-Minneapolis Tribune.

errAM As:o WOOL GROWERS.

Extracts Which Show the Candidate Is q
Free Trader.
From the Canton Qllinois) Register,
we clip some extracts from the speech
Bryan made upon the Wilson-Gorman
tariff, as follows:
wool, for instance, is the chief raw
material.in the woolen industry, and it
has been placed upon the free list.
Whether the tariff on wool has
raised the price of wool to the sheep
grower above the point it would have
reached without tariff is question
which has been discussed rather than
settled. Speaking for myself, it is i'm
material in my judgment whether the
sheep growrs receives any benefit from
the tariff or not. Whether he does or
not, whether the wool manufacturer
collects compensatory duty from the
consumer of woolen goods and pays it
over to the wool grower, or collects 1t
and keeps it himself, or doesn't COL
lect it at all, and therefore does not
need 1t, am for free wool in order
that the vast majority of people who
do not raise sheep, but who do need
warm clothing toprotect them from the
blasts of winter may have their cloth
ing cheaper; and in order that our
woolen manufacturers, unburdened by
a tax upor home grown wool-may
manufacture for wider market.
'The committee has left-not only
upon carpets but upon iron, and upon
woolen goods and cotton goods and
all through the bill-far more tariff
than anybody can justify, even if it
could be shown that any projection is
needed at all or could be rightfully
asked"
The above extracts from BryaE's
speech show he is an ultra free trader
Remember this was relating to the
Wilson BILL a much stronger bill than
the one finally passed, called the
Wilson-Gorman bill. In that speech
he says the tariff in the Wilson bill is
far too high. How do Republicans
relish these principles of the Demo-
cratic candidate?-Ogden Press.
For Fiat Money.
One by one the Popocrats are
throwing off the mask and admitting
that they want no bimetallism, but
silver monometallism. H. l.. Louks
of South Dakota, a leading Populist,
admits that he wants silver because
it is step toward fiat money" The
Nebraska patriot, Edgerton, admits
that fiat money will follow silver.
A Kentucky silver man joins in the
song in the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal:
"If the people want bimetallism at
all, they want the currency depre-
ciated, and this is what would be
done If the ratio of 16 to / should he
adopted. 1t is not parity which we
want; it is not concurrent circulation:
If gold does not circulate here It will
circulate elsewhere, as 1t is now do
ing; it will still form portion Of
the worlds money supply. We will
have no need for gold; silver will be
our money, and it will be what we
want. deprecated currency" Nc
Cook (Neb) Republican.

prior TO 1913, nor the amount coined
since that date cuts any material fig
ure in the matter under discussion"
If that be true the demopop theory
that an increased coinage would
enlarge the circulation is explod-
ed. If it is double" standard
that the demopops want instead of
MORE money, instead of larger circu-
lating medium we have misunderstood
their claim. If it is the double stand
ard that the Bryan followers desire in
stead of both gold and silver in circu-
lation, we have failed to grasp the stu
alton. If it is the standards that cut
the "material figure" instead of the
money, i5 is high time that the people
knew it. and we shall thank the Judge
to explain if it is really true that
neither the amount of silver coined
prior to 1873, nor the amount coined
since that date cuts any material figure
in the matter under discussion?"
Is it the making of more money that
the Bryanites most desire, or a double
standard? Which, Judge?
