WHO is TO BLAME2
The Free silver Wolf Says that tho sound
Money Lamb Il Disturbing Business

money Lamb Is DisturDlnE busihess-
The wolf in the fable blamed the
lamb for stirring up the bed of the
stream and making the water muddy
But" said the lamb, 1.-The water runs
from you toward me. could nc. have
disturbed your drinking" "Oh, well,
the wolf rejoined, "if you did not, your
grandfather did" And he straightway
dined on young mutton.
The silverite wolves who are howl
ing calamity and threatening to over
throw our sound financial system pre-
tend to find an excuse for their 16 to
/ schemes in the unsettled condition of
business. Because loans are being
called in and capital is timidly waiting
the result of the elections, the advo-
Gates of free coinage say, in the words
of their presidential candidate, you
are interfering with business" All un-
favorable indications in trade and In
dustry they loudly ascribe to the gold
standard. and the manufacturers who
are forced to limit their output by rea-
son of the refusal of merchants to buy
while there is so much uncertainty
about prices are accused of being gold
bugs who are purposely making hard
times.
1t should be easy for all intelligent
voters to see through the hypocrisy cf
the silverite claims. Nothing can be
more certain than that instead of being
due to the gold standard any financial
OF in MI co. To ~
most entirely caused by the agitation
for a debased currency. With a large
number of Office seeking politicians 60
ing up and down the country shouting
for cheap dollars and promising TO cut
the measure of values in two il they
can business be good? A tight money
market simply means that the owners
of capital are unwilling to make loans.
Does any reasonable man expect that
the threat of enabling borrowers TO pay
their debts in 50-cent dollars is going
TO encourage investors to part with
their capital? On the contrary, is il
not self evident that the clamor for a
debt reputation policy is the real
source of business depression?
So long as there remains any doubt
as to the future financial basis of our
great industrial and mercantile opera
tons so long will there be anxiety and
fear in the commercial world. Distrust
will continue to breed failures; capital
will be scarce and interest high; debts
will be hard to collect, and investors
will hesitate to engage in productive
industries This condition of affairs
money standard is concerned, by an
emphatic declaration at the polls
against free silver and all cheap money
fallacies.

COMMERCE NEEDS A STABLE
STANDARD.

vice-PresidentI.I Candidate Hobart Shows
why Gold Is Best Measure of Value.
In his letter accepting the republican
nomination for vice-president Hon. Gar
ret A. Hobart said
The money standard of a great ma
ton should be as fixed and permanent
as the nation itself. To secure and re-
every right-minded citizen. Resting on
stable foundations, continuous and un-
varying certainty of value should be
its distinguishing characteristic. The
experience of all history confirms the
truth that every coin, made under any
law, howsoever that coin may be
stamped, will finally command in the
markets of the world the exact value Of
the materials which compose it. The
dollar of our country, whether of gold
or silver. should be of the full value of
100 cents, and by so much as any dollar
is worth less than this in the market by
precisely that sum will some one be
defrauded.
The necessity of a certain and fixed
money value between nations as well
as individuals has grown out of the
interchange of commodities, the trade
and business relationships which have
arisen among the peoples of the world,
with the enlargement of human wants
and the broadening of human interests.
This necessity has made gold the final
standard of all enlightened nations.
If we are to continue to hold our
place among the great commercial ma
tons, we must cease juggling with this
question and make our honesty of pur-
pose clear to the world. No room
should be left for misconception as to
the meaning of the language used in
the bonds of the government not yet
matured. 1t should not be possible
for any party or individual to raise a
question as to the purpose of the coun-
try to pay all its obligations in the best
form of money recognized by the COM
mercial world.
Any nation which is worthy of credit
or confidence can afford to say ex-
plicitly on question so vital to every
interest what it means when such
meaning is challenged or doubted 1t
is desirable that we should make 1t
known at once and authoritatively that
an honest dollar" means any dollar
equivalent to a gold dollar of the pres
ent standard of weight and fineness.

A youth 25 years old was overtaken
the other night while clipping with the
lady of his choice and carried off home
by his irate father, leaving the girl to
meet him in st. Louis. provided he
could give paternal vigilance the slip.
An illustration of how anxious the
modern girl is to hang on to a fellow,
no matter how little he is worth, is
shown by the fact that the prospective
bride has calmly proceeded to the
sleepy city on the Mississippi in pa
,tient hope that her valiant lover will
be able to escape his watchful papa.
Some matrons of this country, how
ever, could tell her that there are dis
advantages about marrying man of
so little spirit, for. while there is no
doubt that he will split the kindling
after she has threatened him with the
rolling pin, there is the awful POSSIBLE
fly that he may be too timid to meet
the iceman with the overdue bill and
will leave that pleasant duty TO the
wife of his bosom.

David Kirk, president of the Pure
Oil company, the combination of indie

Gold is recognized as the universal
standard of value. 1t is the measure
that must be used. 1t is the measure
by which your wealth must be tested.
The wealth OF the United
States is tested by the same rule. 1t
has been and always will be the touch
stone of measurement, and when you
depart from that and try to figure UP
any other measure which the world
does not recognize you get into confu-
sion.-Sonator William M. Stewart.

We cannot by law FIX the value of
either metal or coin or of any OF the
articles that enter into the wants OF
life. The great law OF demand and
supply affects the value as 1t does iron,
copper or zinc. All have fallen in
market value by means of new dis
coveries and improved methods of pro-
duction.-Senator Sherman.
