SUMMARY
The Progress. (Shreveport, La.) 1892-1900, 1896-08-22
Free Coinage Would Help.

To the Editor of the World: In grant
ing that the free coinage of silver
would help the farmer by raising the
price OF his wheat, corn, cotton, hay,
pork, beef, chickens, eggs, butter, pO-
tatoes, etc, you have in fact pointed
out the red string which leads to the
solution of the whole question.
The farmers and agricultural work
srs are the backbone of the country,
being in vast majority Of all the other
producers Of wealth.
BY raising the prices Of farm prod
ucts the farmers would be benefited d.
rectly, thereby enabling them to pay
higher wages to their help.
This would again have a tendency
to increase the wages of Iaborers, me-
Chanics and artisans" in two ways:
/. Being more money in agricultural
work, a great part Of the oversupply of
"laborers, mechanics and artisans" that
depend solely upon the wages they
cannot get a chance to earn in the cit
les will turn to agricultural pursuits.
2. The laborers, mechanics and arti-
sans left in the cities will get higher
wages by an increased demand for their
products from their fellow workers on
the farms, and also by having steady
work be more able to meet their gro
GERS and butchers bills than they are
now with farm products cheap, but
WORK only for half the time.

Government Regulation Of Width.


On Jan. IA, 1895, the WorIl-Herald
contained an editorial from Mr.. Bry-
ans pen on the sabjec1 Of vast
wealth." He said:
1T is possible for one s;tizen to in
jure another with a club or with wea-
pom, but that is not the only way. The
gamblers on the Board Of Trade may
in1ure the farmer b. decreasing the
price of his grain, OF they may injure
the person who buys farm products by
increasing the price. Whether their
nanipulations Of me markets hurt the
'ne class or the other, they do an in
jury. Trusts crush out small competit.
'rs, and, then having monopoly, ex-
tort higher prices from purchasers.
There are many indirect methods by
which one person can injure another,
methods ~ which one person virtually
takes the property of another person
without his consent. If the government
properly restraints each citizen intent
on wrongdoing and fully protects every
citizen in the enjoyment Of life, liberty
ana the pursuit of happiness many
great fortunes will be prevented"

Silver Means Prosperity.

To the Editor of the World: From
the minute the farmer becomes prosper
Gus by an increased income for his
labor his purchasing ability Of indus
trial products will increase and the
workingman and artisan Will have more
work, If there is sudden increase in
the demands for industrial product,
labor will be plentiful and the number
of unemployed will correspoDdingly di-
minish; hence an increase IN wages.
We have in this country about ore me-
chanic pr industrial labOrer or artisan
to every four engaged in agricultural
pursuits; hence four in prosperity can
and will easily elevate the one less
prosperous. Ergo, We should all vote
fer Bryan and silver!

The Sod uts of the Sea.

Torpedo boats however. are designed
for wider ser1 ice than simply to carry
and discharge the frightful weapon
from which they take their name.
They are to the navy what scouts and
skirmishers are to land army. They
form the cavalry .; the sen, of which
the cruisers are the infantry and the
battleships and mentors the artillery
arm, They must spy out the position
of the enemy's feet, hover about his
TANKS or haunt his anchorage to ascer-
tain what he is about and what he
means to do next. They must act as
the pickets Of their own fleet, patroll-
ing the neighborhood, or waiting and
watching. concealed amoyg islands or
in inlets and river mouths, ready to
hasten away to the admiral with warn
ing of any movement Of the enemy.
It is not their business to fight lex
cept rarely, in the one particular way),
but rather to pry and sneak and run.
Hence they are as small and sleek and
swift as they can be made. When the
fleet goes upon cruise, they are car
ried on the decks Of the big warsh:ps,
although they are able to get about in
really rough weather by themselves. A
very recent idea is to build them out of
aluminium, which would be not only of
great advantage toward ease Of trans
portation. but would tend toward In
creased speed by adding buoyancy and
elasticity to the structure, which seems
to skim along the surface and fairly
leap from wave to wave; but it is
doubtful whether aluminium is strong
enough for safety and whether it will
not be in, red by the chemical action

Farmers Will Get Double Prices.

To the Editor of the World: doubt
II you will print this against your opin-
ion and interest. Shouting for your So
cent dollar has no backing. It is SIM
ply throwing sand in the peoples eyes.
1t Is misleading. Gold would not have
its present value if it was not used by
nations as money, and the same is the
case with silver. AS soon as silver is
re-established by this nation it will at
once jump up in value. As soon as the
farmers, who constitute the large mass
of our inhabitants, receive double the
price for their products will 1t not en-
able them to buy twice as much mer-
chandise as they can do now, because
there is little or nothing left them after
paying interest, taxes and general ex-
penses? Would not business ,ring
up all over the land? The greater de-
mand for labor would help the work.
ingmen to regulate wages.

Government ". Corporation.

To the Editor of the World: Every
man who knows anything at all about
the currency knows that there is not
gold enough in the world to do 10 per
cent of the worlds business. The Issue
is not between gold and silver, but
whether we shall have a Government
currency Of the precious metals con-
trolled by the people or a currency 80
per cent corporation notes and 10 per
cent. precious metal. If we are to have
a paper-note currency issued by private
corporations it will be controlled in
Europe, and Europe will control our
trade and labor. AS an American am
in favor Of home rule for American
labor, and therefore l favor money of
the minis, currency of the precious
metals freely coined. There is no other
honest money. B.

Rooms Business.

{ To the Editor of the World: The
value OF silver and gold as mediums of
exchange is dependent upon the fiat Of
the people, and while it does not follow
that wealth is thereby created, yet it is
a fact that increase in the volume of ex-
changeable money has a. reviving ef-
feet upon business.
Immediately after the government es-
tablishes free coinage at Is to 1 the
price OF silver would at once jump to
that figure, and if, as we are told, sill
yer would pour in upon us from all
parts OF the world for coinage at our
minis. why let it come on, for the re-
suit would be that as they could not ex-
change 1t for gold they would have to
pay 1t out for our commodities or use
Il for other purposes in this country.
which would be beneficial to us. There
would be no such thing as a 5O-cent
dollar unless We yield to foreign die
cation, which is un-American and trea-
sonable. RUNNIE REICH.

For Bryan and "a Sound Money House
To the Editor of the World: Every
Democratic newspaper before the Chi
cag0 Convention denounced Mckinney.
Did ht change since? DO YOU net Ih'hh
that a man like Bryan is more Tor the
plain people Of the country man Me-
Kinley? Don't YOU think that II free
silver bill would pass Congress that
Mckinley would sign il?
Let every Democrat vote 70" sound
money Congressman and the silver
ghost would never be heard o.. And
then with a man like Bryan in the
White House trusts and monopoiles
would not dare TO ask fav0rs, nor would
the country have to fear any nigh pro-
lection bill. NJ. LANG.

To Smash the Trusts.

To the Editor of the World: We sec
in this silver something to smash
iron and other trusts. Men who have
formed coal, iron, oil, sugar and other
trusts have had their fling with every
administration too long. The evils Of
free coinage are prOblematical, but The
evils we have been suffering are real,
undeniable. If by adopting free silver
we can rid ourselves of the leaders who
have so betrayed us-well They say
1t is dishonesty! The sudden saints
