Jefferson, in 1888, wrote: "Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
the market price Of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
pally be connected in IN and to
take an average from them. 1 very
much doubt a right now TO change the
value, and especially to lessen it,"
The house committee, in 1921, report
ed: 1T is sufficient TO know, by IN
hal by experience, that its ratio of 10
to 1 tendency is to rid us Of a gold cur
rency and leave Us nothing but silver"
The house committee, in 1884, report
ed: 'Tho desideratum in the monetary
system is a standard of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and indiscriminately in
money dealers, and we entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach TO
an invariable standard is its establish
ment in one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the currency for
large payments.
Andrew Jackson, in 1886, wrote:
There is no fraud in gold. 1t is I'M
changeable and will do its Office every
where and at all times. Labor imparts
an invariable value TO it,"
Benton, in 1884, said in debate: "It
[goldl has an intrinsic value, which
gives it currency all over the world to
the full amount of that value without
regard to law or circumstances. 1t has
a uniformity of value which makes it
the safest standard of value of property
which the wisdom of man has yet dis
covered. Its superiority over all other
money gives to its possessor the choice
and command of all other money"
Following this debate the act called
the administration gold BILL" in
tended to put the country on a single
gold standard, was passed, 145 to 80 in
the house and 80 to z in the senate, and
signed by Andrew Jackson, president.
The house committee, in 1858, report
ed: "Gold is the only standard of value
by which all property is now measured.
It is virtually the only currency of the
country. We desire to have the standard
currency to consist Of gold only, and
that these silver coins shall be entirely
subservient to it, and that they shall be
used rather as tokens than as standard
coins"

Pettigrew i'm the Hills.
Deadwood Times Oct. 10th.

Senator Pettigrew spent y%ester-
day about the city visiting with C
qualntances. He appears natural
and Is jovlal and talks freely and
apparently frankly about the pollt-
zeal situation. With one promi-
nent citizen he became very conf
Dental and talked in an earnest
way. He frankly admitted that
Bryan will be defeated and that
Mckinney will carry South Dakota,
and that the entire republican state
ticket will be elected. He says ne
will reduce the republican MAORI
ties in a number of counties, and
predicts the election of a populist
legislature and United States sena-
tor. elf the Legislature is republic
cam" SAID the senator. "PIckler
will be your senator, and ! will own
him the minute he gets to Wash
ington and | will control the pat
ronage of the state" The Dead
wood man assured him that the
legislature would be republican and
will elect a Black Hills man for
senator, and that man will be Gid
con @. Moody. To this the
tor replied: 81 would rather see
Moody senator than any man in the
state and will be at the legislature
to help elect him" "But we will
not need any of your help," replied
the Deadwood man. Senator Pet
tlgrew thought Freeman Knowles
would run behind his ticket and
does not hesitate to make fun of
him. There is one noticeable
thing about Senator Pettigrew's
visit here, he has completely ig-
nored the leading pops and hob
nobs with the silver democrats.

Kelley's Price $Ioo.
Washington Times.

After reading page 8 of the Oct. / issue
OF the Voice, published in New York City,
we are convinced that some of the news
paper boys of this state have been played
Tor chumps OF the first magnitude, q la
Tommy Ayers scheme Of a lew years ago
when he took many OF the boys in ON a
similar deal and then exposed them as
the Voice has done. w. Bob Holland
gave us the me song and dance but we
didn't waste any time OH the bait offered
as our editorials are not for sale Mt any
price. The waste paper basket always
catches propositions OF that kind. We
notice that the populist papers offer the
lowest rates, aud one OF them, the Alex
andria journal. offers to sell it's editor
ais at Sc per line and news item space at
1c per line, and the Journal gives Hol-
land to understand that it is 1.-THE only
populist paper in Hanson county" We
should hope that it was the only cheap
John rag OF rot on earth. It's editor
must be a Chinaman who can and does
live on rice aud rats, and never uses
soap when he takes his annual wash.
And there is that great Pettigrew free
silver organ, the leading silver paper In
the state, ''rhe Sioux Falls Daily Journ-
AL" offers to sell it's editorial space, its
editorial matter, it's editorial opinions,
the only portion OF the paper that
moulds public opinion, that is intended
to educate and enlighten the people, that
is the very lie Of its existence, for the
paltry sum OF 10c IA line in both daily
and weekly issues. What are the editor
ial utterances OF such a sheet worth in
this campaign, aud ii they would sell
their editorials on the prohibition ques-
ton for l0c a line, how much is the big
syndicate OF millionaire silver mine own
ers paying them for working oil their
hoodwinking editorial rot on the SILVER
question in this campaign Readers,
weigh well what you read in such papers
and govern yourselves accordingly.

the hypocritical pretense of patriot

principle and gone into a mad

Bryan is defeated, it will be the
fault of the traitors of hi. party and

A Chance For FreesiIyerites.
Dell Rapids Times.

hdpiiS iAulcS'
If some free silverite can prove
by lndisputa5le facts that gold and
silver will, under the free access to
the minis of both metals at the ra-
ito of 16 to l, circulate side by side,
or be maintained on an exact parity,
the Times is willing to lend its sup
port to the free silver cause at the
ratio of 16 to l.. If prior to 1872
silver went to the markets and gold
to the minis when both had free
access to the mints, because silver
was under valued, and LAW could
not maintain the parity, how in
the name of all that is good and
great are you going to make gold
60 to the minis when it is under
valued. If law can add AS cents to
the purchasing power of the dollar
1t can add 100 cents. Therefore,
if law a do that why does the
government collect taxes? Money
is a commodity and so is wheat,
oats, barley, corn, etc. Now if law
u make the commodity money,
why can't 1t produce or make wheat,
oats, corn, etc, by law too, and
give the hard working people of
this country a rest Tor a few years?
Will some free s~ilverite please ex-
PLAIN this mystery.

In 1878 farm products were lower
than wei before since the civil war, and
the ''greenbackers" were arguing that
the preparation for resumption on Jan.
/, 1879, had produced the hard times,
and their advocates tried to postpone
the date for resumption. But resump-
ton came Jan. L. 1879. and No. 2 cash
wheat sold at S15s by May it was up
to $1.O1A, and by December, 1879, it
was up to S1.33R. Corn was 293s in
January, 1870. but in December, 1879,
II was 49,.
