Unlimited Coinage Would Make America
tho Dumping Ground.
At the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Des Moines on July 10, the Hon.
Joseph r. Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference to the sill
yer question:
Silver being Necessary in the money
Of the world, we must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative lmita-
ton Of the amount or change the coin
age ratio Of the basis Of its market val
ne. Under the policy Of legislative limi-
tation Of the amount, aided by redemp-
ton when in excess Of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
coin, although its intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
10 long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when it became reduced, on
account Of overproduction and other
causes, there sprung up demand by the
producers Of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
liked into demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage Of gold and silver at the
ratio Of 18 to /. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the minis Of the United
States silver in unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free Of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio Of 16 to /, bearing
the stamp Of our government.
In my Judgment such a policy will
make America the dumping ground Of
silver for the world. It means we would
be brought at once to silver basis. II
means the degradation Of our dollar to
30 cents It means reputation. It will
bring an avalanche Of silver, but q rest
for labor. The Republicans Of Iowa op-
pose this. In the state Of Iowa II we
owe a debt. we expect to pay it in money
worth 100 cents on the dollar, in money
Of equal purchasing power with any
other money Of the world II any one
owes Us, we demand and expect pay
ment in money Of equal value. This is
q vital question to all classes. Tho farm.
or, the 1aborer, the merchant, the man
ufacturer, all classes have an interest in
the maintenance Of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur-
chasing power and be as good as the best
purchasing dollar in the world. Upon q
sound currency depends to large ex-
tent the development, the prosperity,
the success and the maintenance Of our
