David B. Hill.

Extract from his speech three years
ago in the senate on the repeal Of the
Sherman purchase law.
81 do not believe in single gold
standard nor single silver standard,
but | do believe in the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of the
country and in their free coinage at our
minis at proper ratio and without dis
elimination of one metal as against the
other.
THE Sherman law is Objectionable
because it directs the purchase of silver
instead Of providing for the free coinage
Of silver. Purchase means price, price
means commodity, and the treatment Of
silver as commodity means its deroga-
tion from its intrinsic rank as money
metal. Gold has free coinage, and hence
it has no price in the United States. 1t
has the right Of free coinage into full
legal tender for the people who bring it,
to any amount, to the minis. Silver
coming nations have not purchased
silver. They coin it for the people Just
as gold coming nations coin gold. 1t is
the absence of the free coinage of silver,
the existence of limited and restricted
coinage that compels government pur-
chases of silver, and such purchases alb
solutely prevent parity. Free metallic
coinage is essential to the parity of the
two metals, and nothing else will sue
cessfully and satisfactorily maintain
such parity.
The British new-fangled theory of
gold monometallism is an ignorant, in
sular, weak-minded theory, like their
theory of taxation without representation
before 1776. Return to the BIZ
metallism Of 1878. 1t is a permanent
remedy for our financial difficulties.
Free silver coinage has not failed.
The country has not tried free coinage
since it was unwittingly abandoned in
1873, but it has tried limited and re-
stricted coinage. Silver purchases, the
accumulation Of silver bullion and de-
preciated currency, all Of which have
been forced upon the country by mono
metallists through miserable compro-
misses obtained from silver money. Why
not try the only remedy that has not yet
been applied The insuffciency of our
present volume of currency seems to be
: everywhere conceded, and yet there is
an unaccountable reluctance to establish
permanent financial system under
which that deficiency can be easily sup.
piled.

gold standard as the policy of thi:

LIES ABOUT MEXICO"
Kicked Higher'n Perkins PilI-Box by
Affidavits and Letters.

East and West, Pen Yam, N. w.
The mounting falsehoods that the
goldbeggar-breeders have poured out
about Mexico and other silver standard
nations have at last aroused Just and
violent resentment. Every well-read
man knows that since this nation took
the goldbeggar-breeding leprosy to its
bosom it has been swept by bosom of
deSolation-while the silver nations are
rising to pinnacle of prosperity. The
following affidavit is taken from the
Chicago Record:
Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 91.-J. H.
Kennedy, a former resident of Iowa,
has attached the statements so generally
made regarding Mexico and silver by
making the following affidavit before E.
H. English, notary public at Valley
Junction:
II, James H. Kennedy, now resi-
dent of Sinaloa, Mexico, do solemnly
swear that am an American by birth :
that served three years in the 7th Iowa

that l speak the Spanish language as

lish. have travelled through twenty
four of the twenty-seven states of Mex

of that country than | am of my mother
country. l left Mexico on the second
day of March, 1895, coming to this
country to visit my friends, relatives and
old comrades. During the last month
in Iowa have heard more absurd and
utterly false statements made in regard
to Mexico than ever thought could be
conjured up by mortal man, all to de-
ceive the voter.
"0ne most heard is that you can take
che American silver dollar into Mexico
and get two Mexican silver dollars fol-
it. or that you can get a 5O-cent meal,

dollar, either gold, silver or paper, fo

Republican State Platform, 1890:
The practical operation of the silver

Resolved, That the senate of the
State of Kansas urge upon the national

"A financial system under which
more than one-half of the enormous
wealth of the country, derived from the
bounty of nature and the labor of all, is
owned by a little more than $4,000 peo-
pie, while 100000 American citizens,

Over 1000 Hands Given Work.

Manchester, N. H., Sept. 2S.-The
Amoskeag Corporation started up again
this morning after an enforced idIeness
of several months duration. All depart
ments were set in motion, employing
over 1000 people.
The above clippings from the Associ-
ated Press dispatches do not accord
with, nor indicate the correctness of the
claims Of Republican managers, that
the mere anticipation of Mr.. BRYAN S
election to the presidency, is causing
financial ruin, disaster, etc., to the
manufacturing interests of the country.
The clippings indicate general revival
of industries in consequence of the prob
able election Of Mr.. Bryan and the dec
laration Of the United States for the
free coinage Of silver in accordance
with the predictions Of all noted students
of political economy.
