A SAMPLE OF REPUBLICAN LITERATURE.

circulated among Republicans, the fol-
lowing question and answer appear:
Q-Would a silver dollar still continue to
pass current for 100 cents in gold?
Alt would not. AS explained in the an
swers to previous questions, IL is the credit Of
the government which gives to the present
silver dollar its currency in trade as the equiv
alent OF the gold dollar II the government
we're to issue an unlimited" number of silver
dollars from the mint this credit would be
destroyed. Besides, although the government
is under moral obligation to sustain the
value Of silver dollars coined on government
account under "free" coinage, silver dollars
would be coined on private account for the
owner, and the government Is not bound to
loan its credit to privrts persons, the>owners
Of silver bullion.
If anything more "childlike and
bland" than that has appeared during
this campaign, the ADVOCATE has not
seen 1t. II is 80 much out Of the usual
order that Its simplicity is captivating,
even though It's childiShneS8 be sppar-
ent In every line. We are told that
''it is the credit of the government
which gives to the present silver dollar
Its currency in trade as the equivalent
Of the gold dollar" Can anybody un.
derstand the proposition? Is there
anything in law or morals, or in history
or usage, that provides or requires a
government to insure the value of bull
iOnP Has our government ever under
taken anything Of the kind? Is there
anything In our laws which can be
construed into q guarantee on the part
of Congress that the value Of our coins
shall be that Of an equal weight Of bull
lion Of the same metalP
Out Of 2115 cents worth of copper,
zinc and tin the government makes
twenty-five l.cent coins of the sRgre-
gate value Of 25 full legal tender
for that amount of debt. Out of 80
cents worth of nickel and copper the
mint makes $3.50 in legal tender coin
tender for rs cents In one payment,
II this silly theory Of bullion and
coin equiValency is to prevail, the coin
would, have to contain bullion of market
value equal to the money value Of the
coin. And look where that would lead
as. A silver dollar coined In 1872 con-
tained the same quantity and quality
Of silver bullion that q dollar of 1896
contains, but 37l]4 grains Of silver bull
lion In 1872 was worth more than q
dollar In gold, while the same quantity
this year ls worth but little more than
half that much. After 1873, and from
that time to the present, there has been
q decline Of nearly so per cent. In the
market value Of silver bullion, each
year showing its proportion of the
drop. Silver dollars have been coined
every year since 1878, and the coinage
Of each year was made Of bullion hsV.
ing q market value different from that
Of any other year Of the period. Is II
to be taken that these coins all have
different money Valuesp and is that
difference to be attributed to the chang
ing values Of bullion purchased in the
different yearSS
No monetary system could endure
on such q basis. The coinage would
have to be different, in the matter Of
weight, every month or year, or 81
often as the market value OF bullion
