CURRENCY cATEcHIsn.

The Chicago Times Herald gives a
catechism OIL the currency question
which every man ought to carry in his
vest pocket until lie has absorbed its
contents. 1t is as follows:
@. What is the whole body of cur
reucy of the United States today?
A. Paper, SAFE, 100000; silver, $780,
100000; gold, $6l2,0O0OO0.
@. What is the existing money
standard?
A. Gold, by means of which all the
silver and all the paper are worth 100
cents OH the dollar.
q. What would be the effect if we
should abandon the existing gold
standard?
A. All the gold would leave the
country in accordance with the never
questioned law that IL superior money
will not remain in the country where
an inferior money is the standard.
Silverites admit that gold is 16 times
more valuable than silver. That is
what the "raito of Is to l" means. In
truth, today gold is 80 times more
valuable than silver.
@. What amount of money would
be thus withdrawn from the country If
a silver standard should be substituted
for the gold standard?
A. Six hundred and twelve million
dollars, contracting the currency to
that amount and crippling the coun-
try accordingly.
@. Ii the silver standard were sub
stituted for the existing gold standard,
what would be the effect OH the $780,
100000 of silver now worth 100 cents
on the dollar?
A. The entire quantity of silver
dollars would be worth their weight in
silver per ounce, which varies from
week to week like the price of wheat,
and the immediate effect would be to
reduce the $6lO,O0O,O0O to 1906. 10000
the present value of silver per ounce in
the coins, thus contracting the cur
rency of the country to this additional
amount, making total contraction of
$9l7 100000.
Q. What would be the effect Oh the
pepper in our currency if we should
substitute the silver standard for the
existing gold standard?
A. The S475,OOO,OOO of paper, today
worth 100 cents to the dollar OH the
existing gold standard, would at once
decline to so cents on the dollar the
silver standard, based on the price of
silver today, the immediate effect being
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1896-07-16

to reduce the value Of the paper now
in the currency to $237, 100000.
Q. by abandoning the existing gold
standard for the silver standard, what
would then be the first net result?
A. The loss to the country of ST.
154, 100000 every dollar worth 100 cents
by reason of the existing gold
standard.
Q. What do you deduce from this?
A. That we need all the money we
have and that we want every dollar
worth 100 cents.
@. How can we keep all the money
we have and keep every dollar worth
100 cents?
A. BY preserving the existing gold
standard.
Put this little currency catechism in
your pocket.

Wednesdays republican state con.
yentlon was one OF the genuine kind.
1t was convention of spirit. 1t was
no mere formally. For the second
time this year the republicans of Iowa
came together III d state meeting at
Des Moines, and the second one was
as good as the first O',e in point of at
tendance and interest. No convention
i'll recent years has shown more of the
old spirit of republicanism. 1t was a
republicanism making room for large
accession from the other parties.
While the honored tenets of the party
were emphasized in the convention,
there was in such emphasis nothing
that could give otfense to the new
allies Of republicaliism, or rather the
allies of sound money, for which the
republican party in the nature of
things stands this year. The platform
which was adopted was clear and ex.
plicit endorsement of the st. Louis
platform and candidates. There are
no ifs or ands in the platform. If its
length be not considered demerit 1t
Is altogether meritorous. If it had
contained half as many words 1t
would have been better because 1t
would have been reader on the tongue
of man. The ticket placed in the
field is one of strength throughout.
Three worthy public servants were
given the compliment of unanimous
denominations, while for secretary Of
state, judge of the supreme court and
member of the railway commission
good standard bearers were elected.
Platform and candidates will add pop
ular movement TO the republican
cause In this state.-Register.

DR.. w. n. Heaton, the well known
East Side dentist, has a way of his own
of arguing against the free coinage Of
silver. A few days ago a man who
works for wages was talking in favor
of silver and the doctor advanced his
line of thought, which closed the case.
The doctor sgid: Suppose now that
we should have the free coinage of
silver, and suppose further that am a
rich man and have 100000 in gold on
deposit in some bank. Suppose that
with money go to Mexico and buy
100000 in Mexican silver dollars. l
could get 100000 Mexican silver dollars
for the 10000 American gold dollars.
Then suppose l baing the 100000
Mexican silver to the American mint
and have it coined into 100000 Ameri-
can dollars possessing twice the pur-
chasing power that they have in Mex.
leo. Wouldn't 1 be making 100000
clear? Them" said the doctor, "sup-
poseyou are poor man working for
wages, possessing no money with
which to speculate in the way 1 have
mentioned, how are you going to make
anything out of the act authorizing
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer? You will have to work just as
hard for the deprecated silver dollar
as you now work for the good silver
dollar, and you will not he able to get
any of them the way l got mine" This
is very convincing line of argument
and the doctor has successfully put to
flight all the silverltes wherever he has
used it.-Capital.

Absolutely Pure.
A STRONG TICKET NAMED.

The republicans of Iowa, assembled
In state convention "Wednesday, placed
in nomination the state ticket which is
given below. It is il strong ticket. aud
one that will roll mp one of the largest
republican m jorlLirs this fall ever
known.
The convention was very enthusiast
tic. The morning SESSION was attend
ed by over ,0n0 spectators, and in the
afternoon the crowd WAS even much
larger. The Two sessions were at
tenned by many proninents, including
Senators Allison and Gear, Governor
Drake, and COngr ssmen Doliiver,
Hepburn, Henderson and Hull Con
gresham Hepburn, aS temporary
chairman of the convention, delivered
a speech in the morning which aroused
the greatest of enthusiasm, and from
that time on till the close o. the long
afternoon session The spirits of the
body were at II high pitch. Senator
Allison, COngressmem Henderson and
DOlliVer, Selitor Gear and Hon. Smith
Mcpherson all made speeches to the
convention, and at one time it looked
as though that body was going to in
definitely postpone business until all
the orators of the party had been
heard
For secretary OF state, Hon. q. l..
DObSon, Of Des MOiues, was nominated
OH the third ballot, after Il brisk tussle.
For auditor of state, treasurer OF state
and attorney general, Hon. &. q. Nc
Carthy, Hon. john Ilerriott and Hon.
Milton RemIey, the present incumbents
OF those respective offices, were re-
nominated by ncCtaIraLIon For rail
road commissioner, L. A. Dawson, Of
Bremen county, WAS elected OF the first
ballot. The great contest of the day
was on the rupreine judgeship. Six
ballots were required to settle the fight.
The friends Ui lie ii, ifcreHt candidates
were greatly excited over the ballOting
and the cheering was so continuous
that it was with difficulty that the
work of calling the rolls coud be car.
ried on.
The convention heartily endorsed the
platform and the candidates chosen by
the republican national convention at
st Louis. The resolutions as reported
by the committee were adopted by &C.
clamation and with yrea. cheering.
The afternoon session which lasted
from 2 O'Clock until 8:l5, without u
recess, terminated with the nomina-
ZION of L. III. COnger, OF Polk county,
and Hon. Ed s. James, of Clinton
county, as electors at large.
1t was a great convention. Every
body was laboring for the best inter
ests of the. party above all else, aud
when the spirited contests over some
of the offices were finally settled by
ballot, the manner In which those
nominations were made unanimous by
reclamation was more than pleasing.

Sixteen ounces of silver will coin
$3.50 in silver dollars. These 16 ounces
of silve can be bought in the markets
of the world today for 1894. There
would therefore be profit of 1896 on
81 investment of 1894, being about
81 per cent, if holder of silver could
take It TO the mint and coin 1t without
charge into silver dollars. That is all
there is to the silver question at its
center--the active center, whence
comes the energy in means to keep
orators, editors, editors and politicians
at work bewailing the wrongs to silver
and persuading the poor that their
woes are due to the goldbugs of Wall
street, in order thus TO cover up the
bald swindle of the great silver pro-
ducing capitalists Boston Transcript.

Is is said that they discovered a
scheme to beat the A ustrailian ballot
system in Ripley ON election day.
But if the proofs are sufficient it was
sad days work for the perpetrators.
The scheme was worked by getting a
genuine ballot on the outside of the
sixty foot limit. Then this ticket
was filled and given to the voter and
he would go in, get ballot from the
poll clerks, repair to the booth, pre-
sumably to prepare his ballot, where
he would double the one received from
the poll clerks, but it in his pocket
and use the one he had received
on the outside, and upon the return
of the unvoted ballot he would get a
dollar and a pint of whiskey. AID
mittihg that the report is true or even
approximately near the truth, it con-
vinces US that men will dare resort to
any and all manner of crime to thwart
the will of honest votes.
