Not Enough Gold and Silver.

Never In the history of the world has
there been sufficient supply of these
two metals to maintain and support
prices. In all ages, and at the present
time. some nations have not been able
to procure snffciency of either Of these
two metals They have been'compelled
to resort to the devices of paper issues
and other forms Of money; and all of
them today are compelled to resort to
substitutes to q greater or less degree
for the precious metals; hence it is not
within the power of the legislature to
initiate gold and silver money unduly,
unless by debasing the coins. Nor is it
within the power or the rightful power
of congress by legislation to contract
the volume of money as supplied BY
these two metals. This can be done
only by the wrongful usurpation Of
power to demonetize one or the other of
them.
The coming battle--the battle of the
standard--in all probability will be one
of the most momentuus in our history.
That ultimately the people will restore
silver to its ancient place in our none
tary system there can be no doubt, un-
less we doubt the intelligence and pa
triotism Of our people, unless we doubt
the perpetuitysof our free institutions. -

The Best Money.

We deny th at the best money is the
money of the greatest purchasing power.
If that were the case, then the greater
the purchasing power the more valu-
able would be the money, and the dol
lar which would buy three bushels OF
wheat would be better than the dollar
that would buy two bushels of wheat,
and so on ad infnitnm. If this were the
best money. and. as your monetary
school would have us believe, is for the
best interests of the whole people, then
the tendency would be to have the
money get better and better and the
purchasing power of the dollar get
larger and larger, because good money,
from your definition, lies in the direc-
ton of greatest purchasing power. We
deny this; every honest American de-
MES it.; every toiler denies it; every man
who'is willing to give value received
for what he gets denies it, and only the
selfishness Of the men who have money
or who have contracts in the shape Of
bonds and mortgages which call for
money and those living upon fixed In
comes have ever maintained that an
increasing standard, like the law of
1S73sfastenad upon this country, is geod
money or is honezt money. George P.

The claim Of Herr F. A Heinhaus TO be
"the most marvellous mental calculator In
the world" may be admitted, for there have
never been recorded mort surprising arith-
metical feats than those which he perform
ed at the Royal aquarium recently. OF
course, his audience had TO take the results
for granted, unless they chose to work out
for themselves the problems which Herr
Heinhaus answered with prompt and abso-
lutte decision.
For instance, when the ordinary man Is
informed that e7,9S4 1ss 3D. includes
1876 3e7 pence, he is content to accept the
statement, or may, If he likes, work it out
at leisure and find it true So, too, most
people would be puzzled to determine, ex-
cspt after considerable mental effort, how
many seconds there are In, say, 80 or 100
years, or TO multiply any number of four
digits by itself; fer example, 1859 times
1869.
But the answers to these and similar
questions Herr Heinhaus writes upon the
blackboard ut once, and he gives, too, the
number of seconds of any persons age by
years, months, days, hours and minutes,
every year at the rate of $50 or 965 days, ev.

choice of the audience

surrenderins to wsn Street.

The dishonest money platform adopt,
ed by the majority of the Republican
national convention tells a woefuf story
for William Mckinley. The selfish adj
vocates of the single gold standard have
long been insulting the people of the
United States with their audacious
claims of being advocates Of sound
money" when, in fact, they have been
merely speculating in the vitality of the
government. False pretense is the chief
accomplishment of some of these lead
ers When they robbed the country in
the collection Of war taxes in time Of
peace and the prostitution of the taxing
power to private gain. they did it under
the specious name of protection to
American industries. The process of
giving wealth to men who do not work
and making the poor more miserable
they call the promotion of honest mon
ey."
It is due to William Mckinley and
NJ A. Hanna to say that they were
anxious not to be chained to the single
standard dishonesty. Their course, how
ever, never had the full panoply Of man
hood. They deliberately set out to strad-
die the most important question of the
day, to represent. as far as they might
the prevailing silver sentiment of the
central and western states without Civ
ing offense to the gold cormorants Of
Wall street. They have been knocked
from their paradoxical position. They
have been commanded to stand on q
speculators platform, and they obey.

Silver Men who Didn't Bolt.

The money question will be the great
issue in the campaign. I am aware that
the managers of the st. Louis conven
tion and the newspaper organs of the
gold standard party claim that it will
be overshadowed by the tariff, but the
people will rule differently. The effect
of the bolt, too, fro1n the St Louis con-
vention will be greater than they are
willing to admit. In my opinion the
majority Of the delegates in the st.
Louis convention were opposed to the
single gold standard. do not mean to
say that they favored the free coinage
Of silver, as we who left the hall de-
manded, but they are not satisfied with
the money plank They know it will
drive hundreds Of thousands Of good
Republicans out of the party this year,
and in states where the votes are need
ed. A number of the eastern and mid
die western delegates confessed to me
that they would have gone with us but
for their instructions. Party fealty is
all that kept them in line. Their con-
sciences told them they did wrong in
voting Cor the single gold standard. -

Mike Walsh was unique character well

Mr. Watson, member from Albany,

but before he had proceeded far Mike
Walsh sprang up and shouted, "Mr.

The speaker quietly remarked that the
gentleman from Albany had the floor.
"Mr Speaker, cried Walsh, ~ rise to

Then the speaker asked the gentleman
from Albany to be seated while the gentle

A Few Historical Facts which Are Par-
ticulArIy Interesting Just Now.

ticularIy Interesting Just Now.
Bimetallism and the free coinage Of
silver was thoroughly discussed before
it was embodied in the coinage laws Of
the country. As early as 1853 Robert
Morris made proposals for the establish
ment Of mint, which proposals were
approved by congress- The question as
to whether gold or silver, or both gold
and silver. should be adopted as the
money Of the country was thoroughly
discussed by Robert Morris, Alexander
Hamilton, Thomas jefferson and other
great men Of that time In 1TS5 the
grand committee of the continental con-
gress made report on this subject, in
which it said:
In France grain Of pure gold is counted
worth IS grains of silver In Spain 10 grains
of silver are exchanged for one of gold. and in
England Is l-5. In both the kingdoms last
mentioned gold is the prevailing money, be
cause silver is undervalued. In France silver
prevails. Sundry advantages would arise TO
us from q system by which silver might be-
come the prevailing money. This would oper-
ate as bounty to draw IL from our neighbors,
by whom it is not sufficiently esteemed. Sill
yer is not exported 50 easily ss gold and it Ia
| a more useful metal.
The discussion finally eliminated In
the adoption of double standard, prin-
cipally through the exertions of Alexan-
der Hamilton. His suggestions and
those Of Robert Morris and Thomas JEFF
ferson were embodied in the act OF
April 3, 1792, establishing mint and
regulating the coin of the United States.
the fourteenth section of which says:
And be it further enacted, That it shall be
| lawful for any person or persons to bring &c
/ the said mint gold and silver bullion in order
| to their being coined, and that the bullion SC
| brought shall there be assayed and coined as
| speedily as may be after the receipt thereof
| and that free of expense to the person or per
sons by whom the sane shall have beer
brought.
| Under this law gold and silver were
coined at the ratio of 10 to 1. There
was no change in this law until 1884,
when the ratio Of 16 to (the present
ratio) was established. In 1868 the
| weight Of silver pieces of less than &
dollar was decreased 8H per cent. an6
their legal tender power was limited tt
| SIS. Previously fractional silver currency
had been an unlimited legal tender. Nc
change whatever was made III all these
years looking to the demonstration o1
either gold or silver. Both were coined
free and in unlimited quantities at the
mints. The national conventions die
not discuss the subject at all. Free sill
yer and free gold were embodied IN the
statutes Of the country, and there wa.
no desire to demonetlze either. Their
was no more necessity for nationa
Democratic convention to take a position
respecting the free coinage of silver
than there was for it to make decle
ration in respect of the law of gravita
tion. One was as much fixed law IL
the opinions Of the politicians ant
statesmen of those days as the other. =
