What Bimetalism viii Do

by friend with the request that i
be published. It is from the Medi
cal World:
"Am in favor of sound and hon,
est money; let the dollar be worth
100 cents
Certainly, doctor, we all want
sound money and an honest
] dollar. The trouble with the pres
| ent dollar is that it Is dishonest: it
is not a l00.cent dollar. but a 200
cent dollar. Measured 10 the pro-
ducts of the country, the present
dollar is double its former value, A
dollar that increases in value is dis
honest The farmer knows that he
must now give much more cotton or
wheat for dollar than formerly
It is to THE extent dishonest, and
doubly SO to a farmer who owes
debt contracted on the former basis,
when his products commanded
reasonable price and mnst now par
that debt with exclusively gold basis
dollars OF double value. This is
downright robbery. It robs the
most usefn! class the producers Of
wealth. and gives the booty to the
most useless class (the parasites)
This has now been going or go long
that the producers are impoverished
and are beginning to see the cause
of their hardships. Their every ef-
fort to re-establish just conditions is
met with dishonest" frotn "the 9TH

I poftant so long as a parity is MAIN
tanned between money and products.
II, during the past fifteen or twenty
years the parity between money and
products had been maintained there
would now be no gold question or
! silver question-no financial prob
!, lem. Nobody would care what
money is made of. SO the parity be.
tween money and products of labor !
Is maintained. It is the apprecia-
ton OF money that has robbed the
producer and brought on hard times,
while the bondholdor and money
lender has waxed falter than ever.
This condition has been brought
about BY narrowing our money basis
to gold alone. Decrease the amount
OF money as compared with the total
| wealth and you increase The value OF
the money. This is an axiom in f. i
nance, and this is exactly what has
been done. Thamasses will suffer
until this is undone. For yearse
from the doninat political parties
and from the great" newspapers We
have heard much about maintaining !
the parity beta cen gold and silver,
bnt no one word about the real ques.
ton, which is the maintenance of The
parity between money and products.
But the strangest thing is the way
they seek to maintain the parity be-
tween gold and silver. They do ii
BY robbing silver Of every privilege
and loading gold with all the favors
stolen from silver. Isn't that fan-
ny way TO maintain parity Sup
pose You have two athletes equally
matched and you wish to maintain
their parity; if you maintain it by
feedIng one and starving the other,
how long do you think the parity
would last Gold is received at the
mints for free coinage in Unlimited
quantities; it is legal tender for all
in any quantities. No other
kind Of money has all these favors.
aud they are purely artificial favors
granted by the government. Yet,
hey talk about parity /! While these
determinations continue, parity, if
must be arti6cially main.
aimed. Then, in redeeming the
instead Of redeeming in
either gold or silver, at the option
# the government) according to law,
hey are redeemed 10 gold only if
he gold speculator demands it.
Thus they talk about maintaining
he parity, but do nothing to hold up
liver. A bank pays out its worst
money, il anysdifference, thus mak-
ne the unfayorod money go and
ending to equaliza values. They
'ay out the poorer money from SELF
sh motives, but the result is favor

government pays out its most favor

ring it still more. Let us eqaali2s

of company H. an me thumb stays.
Hayes had joined company II with the
understanding that he would be free from
taxes AID other unpleasant necessities in
life. He reckoned not on registration until
he Was told a second time to dip his thumb
in the ink-soaEed pad and let her go. He
pressed into the pad as though he was get
ting ink On rubber stamp and when he
raised his thumb It was dripping.
If Mr.. Hayes can be identified by his
thumb mark, the nan who succeeds at the
task IS deserving of a higher salary than
the government can afford 70 pay.
The first person to register under the new
law was Wray Taylor. general superintend-
ent of the system. He went 1t it boldly
and without fear of a call-down from AS
SCISSOR Snaw. AS Mr.. Taylor has charge of
the business on the group, it was necessary
for him TO so Though the ordeal first in or

the work performed those who followed
after. Between Mr. TAYLOR and lucky 1hir-
teen there We're government officials and
few others who Wantel to experience the
sensation of being registered.
Number IL was Alexander George Morri-
son Robertson, leader of the opposition in
the lOwer house. Hir. Robertson. 1t is said,
always plays IL because it is lucky num-
Der for him. When he dipped his thumb in
the ink he did it like a man VINO wanted to
blot out the Objectionable features in the
bill, but Mr.. Shaw caught him and request
ed him to blot his thumb on the pad On the
counter.
Yesterday the clerks were kept busy tell
ing .nquirers that the solid purple swat on
the pad belonged to Judge Robertson Mr.
Shaw remarked yesterday that ne was glad
he had purple ink on the pad sor ii ne had
put red on ii the judge would have daubed
1t over each of his fingers, on account of
red and white being the Myrtle's colors
one man offered himself rs a sacrifice,
and everything worked smoothly until ii
came to the thumb mark. He had only two
fingers on his right hand: he left his thumb
ana his missing fingers in a sawmll in
Wisconsin.
consultation was held and the supern-
tendent decided that under the circrlm-
stances they would have to take his lef,

was sWathed in bdndageS on account of a
fracture sustained while trying TO crack a
Joke with friend. The man was told TO
