place of the gold. He proved that
more silver dollars were coined in
one year after 1873 than coined in
the preceding 50 years years. The
circulation now was four times great
er than then. In 1878, the purchase
of silver by the government for coin
age purposes was 20.000,00O unc
per month and was increased in 1890
to 100000 ounces per month.
Even under this increased coinage
of silver, the bullion value of silver
fell until the government had to stop
buying, destroying the snap of the
mine owners who would be the chief
gamers now by a system that would
stamp every fifty cents of silver
brought to the minis a dollar. His
address was a convincing argument
against the dangers of a deprecated
currency and in favor of the prin-
ciples of the Republican party, which
be defines as a demand for the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money, either in accordance with a
ratio to be fixed by international
agreement, if that can be obtained,
Or under such restrictions and such
provisions to be determined by legis-
lation as will secure the maintenance
OF the paraties of the values of the
Two metals, so that the purchasing
and debt paying power of the dollar,
whether of gold, silver, or paper,
shall at all times be equal.
1t was in his closing remarks that
Silver 10 came out in his true colors.
He praised Cleveland, condemned
Harrison, and pronounced a tariff a
robbery, He said hat a free silver
bill would be a benefit to the claim
wne of the Rocky Mountain
region, not the silver kings alone
but 100000 claimholders who would
give employment to from two to four
men each, making 100000 people
to be put to work, and they would
ueed wheat and use 100000 horses
which would benefit the farmer, etc.
This virtually admitted what Stafford
claimed, that the bill was il the in-
terests Of the mine owners, and as
for Jhe figures they are simply BON
hastic rot.
During the debate, Mr. Stafford
answered all questions asked him in
a concise, straight forward manner
that carried conviction to Inc CUES
toner, while 10 would meander
around for five or ten minutes over
every query. Another remarkable
feature of JOS talk was that he
claimed the Republican party was
in the hands of Wall ST., still he
praised President st. John, Of the
Chemical Bank of New York, one of
the strongest of the Wall st. powers,
as an ardent and able advocate of
free silver.

Martin SOrenSen,
Pioneer Blacksmith, Webster, s. d.

Mr.. Stafford had by far the best of
the debate which was conducted in a
very fair and impartial manner,
neither contestant descending to
abuse OF vituperation. Silver 10 is
an able and enthusiastic silver man,
too good an advocate to 90 around
the state masquerading IS a Repub-
lican, non-partisan, or high tariff
man. Nothing is gained for his
cause by such a course, for it is well
known that he is in the pay of the
populist party, all his assertions to
contrary Notwithstanding.

The Silver Debate.

Considering the weather, there
was a fair turnout at Waubay last
Saturday to hear the debate between
Silver 10 and G.. w. Stafford on the
money question. Each spoke for an
hour and a half, 10 having the open
ing and closing. He started out by
declaring himself a Republican who
had voted for Lincoln, Grant, Gar
field, and Harrison and was the high
est tariff man in the hall. He laid
all the troubles of the present day to
the demonstration of silver in 1878,
and quoted a letter from Jno. Sher-
man in favor of bimetalism in sup
port of his proposition. The first
part of his speech was made up
largely of reading of extracts from
statistical writer's and he advanced
but little argument. He claimed
the tariff was not the issue and the
remonetization of silver the only
hope. Several remarkable state
ments were made, one that the Dark
Ages were caused by a disappear
ance Of silver, only dissipated by the
discovery Of America by Columbus
and the subsequent discoveries of
gold and silver in Mexico and South
America. This possessed the merit
of originality and the Dark Ages was
the only thing he did not lay to the
crime of '73. Another was, hat the
Republicans OF South Oak. 3 months
ago were bowling for free silver but
were now on another tack, hedging
in favor of gold. He did not say
whether this was accounted for by
their having come to their sense or
by his appearance on the stump in
the state, which occurred about this
time. Still another was, that the
cheap dollar (the fifty cent dollar)
was she dollar that the laborer and
farmer wanted, that they could pay
their debts easier and cheaper in this
kind Of money.
Mr., Stafford pointed out that this
sort Of argument was in favor Of re-
p~adiaaon, pure and simple. lie
scored a Int by showing that John
Sherman, who is charged with the
passage of the bill demonetizing
silver ia 1878, voted against the pas
sage Of the bill, while Senator Stew
art, the god at present of the free
silyerites, voted for it. He showed
that a free coinage bill instead of in
creasing the circulation would drive
gold out of circulation, a fact admit
ted by free silver people, and that
the mints of the U. S. running night
and day for l6 years could not coin
enough silver dollars to take the

Up to date, the Cleveland admin
istration has borrowed as follows /:

This S501, 100000 of new debts is
the price the American people are
called upon to pay for substituting a
democratic tariff for a Republican
tariff. LIE Harrison had been re-
elected and the policy of Protection
had not been int erfered with, there
would have been no occasion for any
borrowing, since the nation would
have been ab~undantly able to meet
all its expenditures with its income.
