silver Argument I'm the Gold Press

ATLANTA Constitution
The New York Financial Nave bas
an EXPLANATION for n fact that has struck
great many people as curious-namely.
the tremendous growth OF the silver
movement in the face of the almost
iuI newspapers of the country.
rms explanation is to the effect tina
whie these powerful" newspapers have
bitterly opposed the free coinage of Sill
yer IN their editorial columns. they have
pten compelled 10 print in their market
repor's. day after day, the most ire
s.stible and unanswclable Arguments
aEalnst the single gold standar..
rms Is true. The market reports OF
ne Rold newspapers during the past
lhree years have day after day furnish
ed 10 all their readers the most com
rlete object lesson that could be con-
eeIved nf in behalf of the restoration of
SILVER ana against the single gold stand
ara While the subsidized newspapers
VI me east and west have thundered
isainSt the irec coinage OF silver in their
.utorial columns, and belittled and de-
n0nnced those who favor H. their market
REPORTS have swarmed with the cold
iasiS calculated 10 impress any reader OF
average intelligence that the gold stand.
ara Is rapidly bankrupting tha coun-
try.
For example. in a recent issue of a
New York newspaper. there is a long
editorial denouncing the agitation Of
the Tree coinage question because 1t pre-
vents US from getting capital from Eu-
zone on its marke; page the same
paper announces the export OF lip, 900
ounces OF silver bullion. Every .ntelli-
gent reader knows that this shipment of
SILVER is to be used against this country
IN trade. We call loudly for European
capital. and yet ship American capital
ont OF the country at half price With
Tree coinage. the I TO O0n ouncec of
nnlllon silver would have been converted
INTO more than sl.50O.O0O of available
capitai-cap.ial that would seek invest
ment In our industries and be distrlbut-
ed In the channels of trade and business.
ana SO with every shipment of silver
nulhon that has been exported since
1873 Free coinage would have turned
II all into available money. and long be-
lore TINS we would have been on the
highest plane of prosperity ever reached
by any nation.
That is what free coinage would have
DONE and that is what it will do.

CLEVELAND WANTS 1T
Il Is Asserted that He Desires the AomI-
nation of the Gold Democrats.
He is ALREADY LOOKING OUT FOR 1900
Wants 70 Keep tho Finance CUES.
tion the Dominant Issue and Four
Years Hence, as the Leader, Re-
now the Struggle for Complete
Tariff Emancipation Notes.

Alfred H. Lewis, the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Journal,
writes: 1t would seem that Cleveland
is not to be wise. There Is the best of
authority to-day that he intends to get
ms personal oar into the doings or un-
doings or the coming indianapolis con-
vention. The same authority hints,
TOO, at Cleveland's possible nomination
oy That band of golden hope. On this
last thrilling chance one thing shines
out. The convention will name Cleve-
land If he will permit. And so far, al
though the contingency has been point
edly, albeit delicately. set before him.
he has not said he would not take 1t.
The authority leaned on in this Is sure
and plain on two points. Cleveland de-
sires the nomination of a gold Demo-
cratic ticket at indianapolis. and he
and his Cabinet, with the resigning ex-
ception OF Hoke Smith, will actively
support 1t with every power and pull at
their personal and official command
This demand for a third ticket on
Cleveland's part and his determination
to give 1t support are In the line of dis
tinct news. Both claims on his part are
late decisions: as late, indeed, in their
birth as Carlisle's recent visit to Gray
Gapies But Cleveland's mind Is now
1uliy made up. He wants a gold Demo-
cratic ticket. he intends to bestow upon
1t active aid, and in some fashion. by
letter or courier. he will make these
wants and wishes known at the In
dianapolis gathering.
Cleveland, so says the story, has
changed his hopes. Until within week
he desired McKinley's success. Now
he hungers for Bryan's. For this rea-
son-he does not believe Mckinley, IL
successful. would conserve a gold stand
ard any more warmly than Bryan. At
the same time he would go counter to
and his election would be surrender
OF all the ground the Democracy has
won against protection.
Cleveland not only considers gold
at this pinch. but himself and the
Presidential fight to come In 1900. He
intends 10 be In that scramble and plans
for 1t to-day. And this last makes In
his mind an important part of the
present question.
Concluding, as he has, that McKin-
ley's victory. does not mean n gold
victory, and turning to the query:
What would best subserve the gold
and Cleveland-one and insepara6le-
chance i'm 1902" Cleveland. after tolk-
ing with Carlisle and some Others do
cides on Bryan. The latter's election
may mean silver. but 1t will also stfhd
as blow at protection and serve to
Keep the Democracy in compact fo,m
Tor hight four years from now.
