A COMMUNICATION.

Decorah, Oct. 8, 1896.
EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION:
l have been amused, if fnothing more,
at the lucubrations of III. A. Bigelow i'm
your columns. Here is man for years
posing as democrat on the ground
that it is class legislation, or fostering
one class at the expense of the many,
and yet proposing to enhance the price
of the silver producer at the expense of
the people. Then he asks the follow
ing question: "HOw i'm the name of
common sense can the silver mine own
er take his bullion to the mint and re-
ceive dollars worth one hundred cents
where they are only worth fifty cents
to somebody else?" Why, bless your
innocence, brother Bigelow, you must
have had a nightmare; that is precisely
what we gold bugs want to know, and
you Bryanites persist you can do. In
your travelling ''among the morning
stars" you could surely have gotten
that knot unravelled.
congratulate you on the latter part
of your article, but will it not disagree
with the lower end of the silver demo-
cratic popocratic platform?
Respectfully,
h.. CARTWRIGHT.

POPULATION.


The above i'm itself is an item of in
terest outside of politics as it shows
that the entire population of the seven
silver states is not as much as Chicago.
Now suppose these states are in a bad
condition, ,as Bryan claims, land that free
coinage would put them in a prosper
GUS condition. Are they of more inn
portance than the same number of
people in many of our large cities who
are pleading against it for their pros
perity? No well informed farmer of
Iowa will deny but that the city of
Chicago is of one thousand times more
Importance to him as market than all
these states. The writer further claims
that if we had free coinage of silver we
would see thousands leave here to sup
ply the increased demand for miners.
How can that be? Have we not free
coinage of gold? And there has been
no "crime" committed by a republican
congress against coal or other minerals.
Yet there have been thousands thrown
out of employment among that class of
miners.
These facts all unite to prove that
the success of this country never has or
never will depend on one mineral. If
it does We had better fail. Bryan
would lead us to believe that all we
need for prosperity is the free coinage
of silver. He says all other laws can
wait. Can any true American believe
that our country is so weak that it's
prosperity depends on how much we
use one mineral? One writer asks how
the dollars under free coinage will be
worth one-hundred cents to the mine
owner and only worth fifty cents to
anyone else. | have not heard this
claimed by any of our leading sound
money men. Yet to answer the argu-
ment, it could occur in the following
way: Under free coinage the mine
owner could present silver that he now
sells every day at fifty-three cents and
in return receive coin stamped one
dollar; this the law says is legal tender
in payment of all debts, SO he could
compel his workman and all others
that he owes to take it in payment.
After they had the dollar it would still
be worth one hundred cents to pay old
debts; but no sensible merchant would
take it for more than it was really
worth, which would be about fifty
three cents. If any silver man thinks
it would be worth more let him go to
any silver market and buy few
thousand ounces; he would certainly
our oats at thirteen cents.

MISTAKES OF FREE SILVER MEN

EDITORS PUBLIC OPINION:
In answer to several requests from
friends who wish me to reply to
the free silver arguments that have APP
peared in this paper from time to time.
/ would submit the following:
1t should be observed that the
writers seek only to defend themselves.
This is contrary to the usual custom of
those who advance new theories upon
the people. 1t would be more fitting
for free silver men if they would en-
deavor to prove that our finances are
i'm bad way, and to show how an un-
limited stream of cheap silver suddenly
flooded upon us would put us on a
sound financial basis again. One
writer admits that i. would be great
help to the mine-Owner and argues that
by helping the mine-owner we help
nearly our entire country. To show
how impossible this is let us look at a
few facts from common school geOgra-
ply:
