A BlMETALLIST'S OPINION.
DIR. Andrews OF Brown University Answe
4. Pertinent Question.

DIR. Andrews OF Brown University Answers
1. Pertinent Question.
Perhaps the most scholarly, intellec-
tual and honest of the bimetallists is tho
president Of Brown university. He was
ono of the delegates from this country to
the International monetary conference
held at Brussels il 1892 and is an ar
dent advocate Of the wide, use Of silver.
But he sees the folly and danger Of at
tempting tho impossible--at least when
one nation attempts it single handed.
Tho following is DR.. Andrews reply,
published i'll the Chicago Record, to tho
question, "Shall the United States at
tempt the free coinage of silver alone?"
eff we take up the metal alone, and
that course results as I should antici-
pate in the expulsion Of gold, we shall
have in the first place financial crisis
worse than any ever suffered in the
country. This because we cannot in a
long time, even by working our minis
day and night, coin silver enough to
take the place which would be vacated
by gold. Prices would surely fall. I'm
mense numbers of failures would occur.
Laborers would be thrown out of work.
Altogether dreadful paroxysm in our
business would be precipitated. Slowly
the gap left by gold would be filled by
the mining and coinage Of silver. Prices
would then gradually rise At last they
would become higher than now, more
and more approaching the Mexican and
Japanese level.
But consequence far worse than
any Of these would be that our passage
to silver basis would erect against for
eign exchange between Europe and the
United States just such barrier as now
exists between Europe and Mexico. It
would annihilate all fixed par between
New York and London, repeating the
terrible inconvenience in our European
exchanges which we suffered in war
times when we were upon a paper
basis ~

GLOW Would That Help YOu?"

Free coinage would make tho silver
mine owners rich. How would that help
you?
Fifty cent dollars will enable debtors
TO pay their creditors in deprecated
money. As you are an honest citizen,
how would that help you?
Tho adoption Of the silver standard,
really want, would drive 5000, 900, 900
of gold out of tho country. How would
that help You?
Putting the country on silver basis
would double the price of everything
you buy. How would that help you?
The first result of free coinage would
bo u widespread panic, through the call
ing in of loans by lenders who were
afraid of cheap money. A panic means
business depression, bankruptcy and
poverty. How would that help you?
The agitation for cheap money is
hampering trade and industry by MAX
ing owners of idle capital afraid to in
vest their money in business. How does
that help you?
If you have money in the savings
bank, or loaned out mt interest, the val
ne Of your deposit or loan will under
free silver be only half Of what it is
now. How will that help you?
Adopting the silver standard Of China
and India would unsettle our trade rela-
tions with tho leading commercial ma
tions, which arc all gold standard coun-
tries, and would diminish our foreign
commerce. How would that help you?

In spite Of the efforts Of q small clique
Of silverites il Philadelphia the Rerub-
lican state convention Of Pennsylvania
adopted a platform which declares
strongly and clearly against the free
coinage delusion. After indorsing inter
national bimotallism the plank reads as
follows:
We oppose the debasement of the ma.
tional currency by the admission of sill
yer to free and unlimited coinage at the
rate Of 1G to l, for the reason that if
such a policy be adopted it will not be
possible to maintain the parity Of values
Of the two metals, and the purchasing
and debt paying power Of the dollar,
whether Of silver, gold or paper, cannot
continue to be equal.

lawyer to have abolished.

made her very nervous. On the other
side the noighbor kept chickens, which
awohc her early in the morning by their

day by flying over the fence and invad-

was made nervous by the noise Of the

to know what action she must tako in

Mine Owners Versus Cotton Growers.

Two-thirds Of our southern cotton
crop, valued at $500, 900, 900, is sold in
Europe to gold standard countries, and
the price is mainly fixed in Liverpool Oh
gold basis. If the United States adopts
free coinage without international agree
ment. the gold standard price for cotton
would remain exactly the same. Tho
southern farmer above all others is vi
tally interested in sound money, or tho
dollar that has the largest purchasing
power. for his cotton is "good as gold"
in Europe or America. There is 100 per
cent profit in free silver to the western
mine owner and 100 per cent loss in it
to the southern cotton farmer. West
