Zine Dimculty Is the Tarifr.

In a recent speech at La Grange, Ind,
Senator Burrows said:
with all the vagaries of the three
Bryan platforms they all unite in the de-
mand for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 10 to 1, and to that question
Mr.. Bryan devoted a goodly portion of
his time in his speech of acceptance. He
declared that times are hard, prices are
low, and something is vitality wrong 1t
is not the crime of 10, however, but the
folly of '92, when Harrison was defeated
and the prosperity OF the United States
destroyed.
''Mr. Whitney says: Don't talk about
the tariff But the whole difficulty to-
day Is tariff. When Mckinley is president
the money question will settle itself.
More silver dollars were coined dur
ing Republican administrations than dur
ing all of the other eighty-three years of
our history.
Panic always accompanies free trade.
During the thirty years from 1861 to
1892 we had unbounded prosperity;
wealth advanced; this republic took a
lead in manufacturing and stood ahead of
all other nations until March A., 1893.
The public debt was reduced during Re-
| publican administrations. and increased
under Democratic. There Is not a single
| day but the government is running be-
| hind. The deficiency during July, 1896,
| alone was $13, 000, 900.
''The results of the Democratic, policy
| are SO evident that n new issue was nee
essary to give them even n fighting
| chance before the people in this cam
paign, and so they say that in 1873 the
Republican party caused the trouble by
demonetizing silver. If that is so why
did it not show itself before 1893? We
were prosperous in '92, and the crime had
been committed before then"

The Money of the Constitution.

What wild talk is this of the ~"silver-
ties" conventions, Sin favor of restoring
to the people of the United States the
time-honored money of the constitution
and silver-not one, but both!.
The constitution prescribes no SUCH
money, nor any form of money what
ever.
But if it is gold and silver-not one,
but both"-that they want, why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now, OF equal terms,
in larger quantities than ever before.
In the twenty-five years since the blood.
curdling ''crime of 1873" was perpetrated
more than fifty times as many silver dol
lars have been coined as in the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has a very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world,
excepting India and China, and a larger
supply in proportion to its population
than any other, excepting France, Spain
and Holland. 1t has more gold in eircu-
lation, actually, than any in the world,
excepting only France, and more propor-
tionately than any European country,
excepting Great Britain, France and
Germany. 1t also has more money OF
all kinds in circulation, and all at par,
than most nations of the world.
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re-
formers that we already have what
they talk of as 'the time-honored money
of the constitution" in abundant supply,
for every man who is willing honestly
to carr it.-New York Tribune.

would be relieved 10 have its ~appreiien-
sions allayed and its misconceptions, If
they are misconceptions. corrected.
he Democrats in vast numbers who
share this curiosity and these apprehen-
sions stand by what they believe TO be
the historic policy of their party in re-
gard to the currency. This policy was
declared in 1876 and reafirmed in 1892
in these words:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both gold
and silver without discriminating
age. but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement, or by
such safeguards OF, legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
the two metals, and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debt; and we de-
mand that all paper currency shall be
kent at par with and redeemable in such
coin. We insist upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection
OF the farmers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims Of UNI
stable money and a f%iuctnating currency.
These Democrats still hold to the doe
trine of dollars of both money metals Of
equal value, that the country may have
the benefit of a concurrent circulation of
gold and silver. and paper redeemable in
the same. Why not give these Demo-
Gratis a chance to vote for you? Why
continue the alienation of so large a
body of intelligent. honest and aonsei-
%entious voters? If you are ready for
bimetallism. and would welcome inter-
national agreement, if it can be secured,
to effect a change without possibility of
surely cannot object to an established
and world wide parity of value between
gold and silver money. Why refuse and
reject international agreement?
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-09-02

II Is a plea for bimetallism and in strong
opposition to ne gold mon0metaIlists.
He says, though. as every other true BIZ
metallist says, that the attempt on the
part Of this country to coin silver in
unlimited quantities free, without an UNI
derstanding with other nations, would
be an assault on the cause of bimetallism
and practical suicide for the finances OF
the United States. In 1878 Gen. Walk
er said: ''For us to throw ourselves
alone into the breach, simply because
we think silver ought not to have been
d~emonetized and ought now to be re-
stored, would be a piece of Quixotism nm
worthy the sound practical sense OF our
people. The remedy of the wrong must
be sought in the concerted action OF the
civilized states, under an increasing con-
viction of the impolicy of basing the
worlds trade on a single money metal.
This Is his opinion today.
As to the possibility OF free coinage
without an immediate fall to a silver
basis. and the strident claim that this
country is big enough to "legislate for it.
self" Gen. Walker points out two facts.
The stock of precious metals has so
greatly increased in the world, and COM
munication and transportation are so
much more rapid than of old. that even
France found it impossible in 1873 to
continue free silver coinage. Since there
is vastly less money metal used in the
United States than in France. the in
fiuence which this country can exert
upon the money market of the world is
less than the influence of France. And
yet no one accuses Gen. Walker OF be-
ing less d patrie. or less proud of the
country for which he fought than the
youngest orator of the far West. The
difference is that he is a student and a
man of sense.-Syracuse Post.
