THE Signal still evades our charge
that we have less money per capita
and that the shrinkage is still going
on with the sanction of the gold ad
vocates, most OF whom will tell you
that we have too much money. And
in order to deceive its readers the Sig
nal wades through words piled upon
words. In 1894 the United States had
81 $3.50, sos, 70S in circulation; in 1895 it
had $1,601, ,96S,479, and in 1896, for
year ending June 30, it had 81, 500, ,631,
026. In 1894 we had $24 29 per capita
circulation, in 1895 1922 SO, and in 1895
$21.10. Here is a shrinkage in the
circulating medium since 1894 of 1854,
IN, 6S2, and in a per capita of $3.1S?
These figures are true as they are
taken from the revised statements of
the treasury department for June 30,
1896.
The election of Bryan and a Con-
gress in accord with him, is what will
put stop to this contraction of the
money of the country, and instead of
having less and dearer money every
year we will have more and cheaper
money. Instead of the per capita
being $21.10 it will be double that
figure and still the country would
not have too much money to carry
on it's business and enterprise.
Vote for Bryan, free silver and more
money, which means rising prices and
prosperity for all, rich and poor
Equal justice to all is the battle cry
of Democracy this year.

The Deacon Jndone

There WAS once a deacon on Cape
Cod who heard early one morning that
there had been wreck on the beach
near his house. He hurried down
with a couple of pillow eases; filled
one with sugar. hid it under the bank
and went on TO look for more grocer
les. While he was gone ncighbor
came along on the same errand, caught
sight Of the pillow-case. emptied il
into his own bag and rcfiIled it with
sand. BY and by the deacon returned
empty handed, and carried off his pill
low-caSe without noticing the change.
In fact, he filled his sugar bowl and
tried to swecten his coffee before he
found out how badly he had been treat
ed. Then he was so indignant that
he confessed afterwards: Il was nj.
most wicked enough 10 wish there
might never be another wreck on this

and occasionally there would come

Silver Issue Not Dead.

Some of our friends here advised us
that the silver issue has been settled
by the vote in the lower house of Con-
gress. The hanging Of John Brown
settled the anti-slavery movement in
the minds Of some few people at that
time. 1t was also claimed, when the
abolitiOniStS were driven out Of the
cities, beaten and rotten-eggcd, that
their cause was killed.
The silver movement is more impor-
tant than that great issue. 1t is not
dead; 1T does not even anguish; the
people are awakening, and will soon
be heard from. The present bad times
are due entirely to anti-silver legisla
ton and will endure, become gradually
worse and worse, until the popular
erroneous impressions are changed and
silver remOnetiZed. Our American
bankers and business men are honestly
and periodically advocating monOmet-
allism. They think that the silver men
are wrong. They believe that free
coinage would prove commercially dis
aStrOus to us. We take the liberty Of
quoting the views of the editor of the
London Financial News on this point,
as follows:
''There is plain moral in the remark
that if the United States would venture
to cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia Mt her back, and
would command the markets of both
continents. The barrier Of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of Gus
tom house. The bond Of silver would
be stronger than any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about 1t, that
If the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out. Every American would be pro-
,tected, not only at home, but at every
other market. OF course the United

The Logic of 1t.

If the administration is really back
of Senator Germans proposition to re-
tire the greenbacks: to issue in lieu of
them gold bonds; To designate all pre-
viously issued bonds as payable in
gold. and in considera ton Of this con-
ccSSiOn to open the mintS of the cOun-
try TO the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. then the President shows him
self in Il worse light before the cOun-
try than ut any time since his assump-
ton of the high office which he holds.
While it is true that legislation is
usually the result of compromises. yet
there are at times questions before Con-
greSs which so far transcend in import
ance the ordinary legislative routine
severe lines of principle. If the free
coinage of silver is radically wrong in
principle, rs the President has always
maintained, then it does not become
any more right when considered in con-
junction with n bond-selling scheme.
With rational intervals it may be ac-
cepted as true that the Cleveland adj
ministration is actuated by domineer-
ing policy, and when it finds it can
neither bend nor break then it trades
and busters. The common sense Of
the country is strongly opposed to the
sale of bonds and the retirement of the
greenbacks, two ideas which the adj
ministration urges as vitality essential.
If they are SO. the executive depart
ment has done its full duty in strongly
urging the adoption of its ideas; the re-
sponsibility of failure to meet the emcr-
gency will be firmly fixed upon the leg
islativc body.
Coercion upon the one hand or bar
tering upon the other belittles the adj
ministration and makes Self-eyldent TO
the world that the motives which &C
tuate it in the present financial crisis
are those of expediency rather than
principle.-Chicago Dispatch.

States would have to suffer to Il certain
