ARE THE PEOPLE FooLs3
a Brilliant Object Lesson which Teaches
Nothing. .sss*s5gSs

Nothing. fESsss%
In old times, under old-fashipned GOV
ernments, the people were considered
as children, to be slapped or petted as
their wise ruler saw fit, but, as far as
we know, in those good or bad old times,
the people were not generally con-
sidered fools. This. view of their intel
llgence was reserved for the end of the
nineteenth century, and the advocates
OF the gold standard. Ifproof be needed
that the gold party considers the peo-
pie fools, it is found in the Mexican dol
lar trick. A large firm in Chicago and
large newspaper in Philadelphia have
recently offered to their employees the
option OF receiving their wages in GER
tain number of United States dollars or
nearly twice the same number of Mexi-
can silver dollars. Therefore, free coin
age is robbery, anarchy, Reputation,
etc.! Was ever such an insult put upon
the Intelligence of the American peo-
pie? Because the present demand for
silver bullion has given it a certain value,
it must always have the same value, no
matter how the demand for it varies!
That is what the people are asked to be-
lieve and what the gold advocates try
to prove by their object lesson. Why
did they not make the offer of certain
number of American gold dollars or
double the same number of American
(not Mexican) silver dollars, or even
paper dollars? Because they are not
fools, though they think the people are.
To say that the American silver dollar
has twice the value of a Mexican dollar,
because the former is redeemable in a
certain quantity of gold, and the lat-
ter not so, is mere to trife with the
truth. People consider not whether a
dollar will buy so much gold, but
whether it will pay dollars indebted
ness, public or private, and they value
it accordingly. An American silver dol
lar to-day is worth as much as gold
dollar, and the people are not such fools
as not to know this in spite of the silly
attempts to bulldoze them with the
Mexican dollar trick.-Irish World.

INTERNATIONAL BlMETALLlSM.
Would Be fastened, Not Retarded, by
Independent Action Here.

would BE fastened, Not Retarded, by
Independent Action Here.
One of the points made against the
action of the democratic party in de-
claring for the free coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of sixteen to one by
those who are trying to retain mon
etary system which experience shows
has worked badly and threatens to be-
come worse and more oppressive to
the people, instead of better, is that
the cause of international bimetallism
has received a fearful blow, and that
the progress of the movement has been
seriously retarded, if not entirely
stopped. -.
All democrats supporting the cause
of. the free coinage of silver. and gold
want international bimetsAlism, but
the protest raised at Chicago, coming
straight from the people, sdemands
that the United States shall take the
initiative, shall slow that there is no
necessity for further delay, that a pos
Tive and emphatic movement must be
made in order to impress upon Euro
pean nations that we are in earnest,
and that if they wish to aid in the
restoration of silver to it's proper use
and place among the moneys of the
world they now have the opportunity.
The opponents of free gold and silver
bimetallism are scattering scare stories
to the effect that this democratic de-
mand has killed bimetallism in Eu-
rope, but Senator Allison, who is a re-
publican leader, is of the contrary
opinion and expresses the belief that
an international agreement is not far
distant. He evidently does not believe
the democratic demand for free coin
age of gold and silver has killed in
ternati0nal bimetallism. - Nashville
American.
In the same column certain organ
tells the workingman that if he votes
for Bryan he will vote AZ per cent. of his
wages into the pockets of mine own
ers, and. that he will vote to depreciate
not only the; silver dollar but all the
currency to SO cents on the dollar.
How can free silver coinage put ~
per cent. of each dollar coined into the
pocket of the silver miner and at the
same time reduce the value Of the sill
yer dollar and all the currency depend
ent upon it to the value of So cents?
Any schoolboy can figure out that if
the value of the silver dollar depreciates
|, to SO cents or anything less than it's
face value the miner cannot make II
cents by. it's free coinage at the mints.
Or, to put it the other way, if the miner
makes AZ cents, the value of the silver
dollar'will have to be raised to the value
of the present gold dollar, in which case
there will be no depreciation of the cur
rency. The gold-standard advocate can
take his choice of alternatives, but not
both. -.
This is a fair sample of the kind Of
logic with which the goldite agents are
flooding the country. Itproceeds on the
assumption that the workingmen are
fools-St Louis Repub1ic

Like Everything Else, 1t Is Based on the
Law of supply aud Demand.

The assumption that with unlimited
would fall to the present bullion value
of silver is, while common, wholly err
roneous. It ignores the fundamental
law, viz: that the value of money does
not depend upon that of the material
on which it is stamped, but upon the
supply of money relative to demand
Under this law, which appears to have
been first affirmed by Aristotle, and
which: is confirmed by every reputable
political economist, the value of the sill
yer dollar could not fall to the present
gold value of silver bullion unless the
supply of money were at once doubled
or one-half the demand for it were
cut off. AS free coinage would not
cut off any part of the demand, and as
it would not double the quantity Of
money, the worlds entire quantity OF
surplus silver bullion available for free
ceeding one per cent. of our circula-
ton, the volume of money would not
be doubled. On the contrary, while it
would increase, the increase would be
gradual. Therefore silver money
could not fall to the present value OF
silver bullion. What would take place
would be rise of the value of bullion
to the value of money. The latter
would depreciate as it's supply in.
creased and the prices of commodities
and the value of real property rose
but the decline in silver would be nc
greater than in that of gold money
Dollars of all kinds, whether stamped
on gold, silver or paper, would buy
Jess, and it is absolutely necessary that
their purchasing power shall be dimin.
ished if industry is to revive and pros
per. When the farmer has to give IL
bushels Of oats for it the dollar is ruin.

- It is estimated thattthe Kansas wheat
crop this year will average only mine
bushels per acre. This, at 50 cents per
bushel, would make $3.50 an acre as the
gross value of the crop. In this there
should be enough to convince anyone
that gold monometallism, which has
forced down the price of wheat, is dis.
astrous to the wheat growers of Kansas
1t is impossible for farmers to make
