The Democratic (?) speaker last
Saturday said that the government is
able and has always been able to keep
gold and silver dollars at parity. In
less than one minute, in almost the
next sentence, he declared that the
silver dollar was worth 1O3 cents in
1873, thus fatty contradicting himself.
His last statement is the true one
but when one dollar is worth three
cents more or less than another they
are not at parity At that time no
silver dollars were in circulation on
account of this three cents premium
although they were full legal tender
and the minis freely open to any man
who wished to have silver dollars
coined. These free-silver orators never
make a speech without contradicting

Judge Butcher. of Newton, addressed
a fair-SiZed audience at the court
house last Saturday afternoon, on
wnat one might call political abuse
instead OF on the political issues of
the day. The judge claims to be
democrat and said he had never fused
in his life, and did not believe it was
necessary until this year. With only
two months training in the popo-crat
ranks the judge reminds us of a twin
brother of ''Windy Ben." His wind
is like an everlasting spring of popu-
list water. His abuse was directed at
Cleveland. Carlisle, Cochran, Plumb,
Ingalls, and last but not least the Hon.
Thomas Tarpy, of Ogallah. In the
COuISC VI Ills ICndI MS uC Sdlu tIidt
Senator Plumb made a speech several
years since in the senate favoring the
free coinage of silver and that he had
read an article in the WORLD written
by some jack-leg out in the country,
and that Plumb or the jack-leg lied.
In discussing the labor question the
judge made the assertion that our
county clerk was drawing too much
salary. We agree with him on that
point as almost everybody admits that
we have $500 man drawing 81 900.
The largest per cent. of the audience
went to learn something about this
16 to 1 question, but the judges ar
were so cOntradicting that

COMMUNICATED.
Editor World Z:

AS indicated in my communication
last week, permit me space to exam
inc the term ''bimetalism" in the
light of experience, as applied to
money. The word is catching and a
favorite among those who are wild
seekers for voters. Seems to us, Mr..
Editor, that they would hesitate to
direct the hopes of our countrymen
by promising them certain relief by
the adoption of free coinage of silver
at an arbitrary ratio, if they expect
to secure enough voters thereby to
win in this contest. For, if they sue
coed on the issue they wage, and fail
to establish bimetalism, j. e., the in
dependent, free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at Is to 1, and
their concurrent circulation as money,
how then will they meet those who
they are deceiving.
Bimetalic, Webster says, means two
metals, and when applied to money
means double standard of currency.
Jefferson and Hamilton were true BIZ
metalists, believing double standard
of values desirable, but those two
patriots recognized, and by every act
proved, that they knew double stand
ard could not be maintained unless
equal value of metal was contained in
the coin of each. Fortunately our
coinage laws, 1870 to 1892, consulted
the concensus of opinion of the whole
world to determine the value of each.
No Mr.. BRYAN jingoism in those two
sincere patriots; no fiat in their action.
~, fvuv0 rr,II
Bryan and his associate patriots of
this year, never once intlmated that
law made value. but the reverse is
proved by every act of theirs. When
they found the worlds amount of sill
yer necessary to make dollar, tEev
took 100 cents worth of that silver
and stamped the value on it, likewise
they did with gOld-tOOk two equals
and made a double. You can't, Mr..
Editor, make double out of two I'M
equals! Puny mortals, like us, cannot
see how that can be done. Mr.. Bryan,
will do it, but sir. we do, not believe
them.
Thos. Jefferson is the best example
we have any account of in our cOun-
try's history as gold bug, for when
he found his honest expectations that
two equals of today, when Joined to-
gether, would abide equal. but tOmor-
diSsipated that expectation he re-
tanned the better metal and discarded
the less valuable. This is proved in
disputably by his action in 1906, when
president, instead of Indefinitely sus-
pending the coinage of gold, he sus-
pended the coinage of silver, very
slight difference having obtained in
the value of these metals by the ratio
adopted, is proof positive that the
value of the coin was by him believed
to be contained absolutely in the
metal, and no part of it in the gov
eminent stamp or fiat.
Every Democrat should be able to
testify and rejoice that he can inform
his fellow men who did, and why they
did, adopt the gold standard as our
basic money. Thos. Jefferson practi-
cally did it in 1906. Jackson empha-
sized it in 1884, and Pierce, with Jas.
Guthrie, of Louisville, KY, as his
secretary of the treasury, confirmed
it in 1853. And every day since that
time when this government was re-
deeming it's obligations gold has been
the base, and God forbid that Mr.
