IS not far off if that ukase isratited,work
the same results here that il has fully
accomplished in England. With boast.
full pretence OF Americanism, the St.
Louis convention places the golden
yoke of British supremacy upon our
necks. The legislation of 1873, which
destroyed silver as money metal, was
wholly u republican measure, and it
struck the silver dollar from the list of
coins and established the single gold
standard 1t reduced the legal tender
power of silver to the sum of IS in one
payment
The democracy, aided by small but
intrepid contingent of bimetallist re-
pubicans restored the silver dollar to
coinage and to full legal tender power,
in the Bland-Allson act. The decree
OF the st. Louis convention, when it is
executed, if it ever is, will land our
hard money legislation on the same
basis that was established by the first
Sherman law of 1873, 1t can only stop
with the re- enactment of that law No
other result is logical and none other is
contemplated by the republican party.
This is the key that unlocks all doubts
as to the meaning and ultimate pur-
pose of the gold plank in their st.
Louis platform
Aside from all questions as to the
ruinous effect upon all trade and in.
dustry of this destruction of an indis-
pensable money metal, and aside from
the double burden that it lays upon

duty of maintaining the commercial
and financial independence of the lead
ing republic in the world, and aside
from the surrender it involves OF n vital
element of our national sovereignty

to the condition of feudal submission
that holds labor throughout Europe in
chains of bondage to capital and
monopoly. Z. Morgan, in New

HOW, PRAY?
Another Hard Nut for the Times and Gold
bugs to Crack.

I understand that the Times and 9TH
er gold standard advocates hold that
gold is money because, and only be-
cause, of its instrinsic value. Instrinsic
value here means commercial value and
commercial value means commodity
value.
Further, that under the gold stand
ard as we have it, gold Us bullion is rs
much money in the great marts Of the
world us gold in coin that the stamp
or coin is only the governments GER
tificate as to the amount and finenes3 #
gold in a given piece of silver.
Further, understand them to hold
that gold is really a commodity, but
that it is the commodity which several
of the great nations have agreed on as
the special commodity to be used as a
medium of exchange in the general ex-
change of commodities for the purpose
of facilitating those exchanges. 1t is
for convenience called money"
The Times says that to re-enact 1G to
bimetallism would eliminate" all
gold as money and change it into n
commodity"
What / want to know is, if it were u
commodity and valuable only because
Of being a commodity, how can it be
eliminated" into any more of a "com-
modify ?" Or, if it was eliminated"
into more of commodity or into a
more valuable. commodity than it is
now, how would that hurt the men who
have this precious commodity?
Suppose the banks of the United
States had $500, 600 600 in gold and made
it do duty as the illegal reserve" They
have cornered this gold and consider il
'sound" because of its commodity
value. Some kind of current money
has to do duty in the banks us ere
serve" and this gold answers the pur.
pose.
Now, should the country adopt 1G tC
1 bimetallism, how is this gold in thu
banks to be eliminated" as the Times
puts it, and converted into "commo
dity" and thus rendered useless a.
money? The gold men like it because
of its commodity value and l can't Sc,
how thing that is already comma
dity can be changed into commodity
1t might be changed into more of
commodity, but I can't see how
valuable commodity being made NOR
valuable will hurt holders of that com
modify. The gold men pretend tina
the banks would dispose Of all of thei
gold the moment the country went to
; "silver basis" as they falsely call Ell
acting a bimetallic law If gold wen
on premium it seems to me that the
would hold to it all the tighter and the
they would have more reserve tina
ever. They do not seem to be turnin
any Of it loose now and it would NJ
disappear after bimetallism any nor
= than it has now, because there woul
be no sense in it disappearing. Coz

those who have wealth, and their re-
tanners, are in favor of what Is called
the single gold standard" and TINT
the industrial classes are opposed to
that tyrannical system of finance.
The tOilers, on land and sea, demand
the full use of silver equally with gold
AZ a precious money metal as their only
hope of escape from this recent revival
in America of the servitudes and re-
pressions of the old feudal system of
Europe. The st. Louis convention
has sided with the lordly monopolists
of gold, of bounties, of subsidies and of
bonds, and has decreed that the poor
shall be poorer and the rich shall grow
richer, according to the European plan.
If that decree is confirmed by the votes
of the people their ruin can not long be
delayed, and ii the present condition is
not relieved their ruff is already as
sured.
Until the year 1896 the aggressiveness
of these favored classes was clandestine
and deceptive. Now it has appeared
without disguise, and imperiously as
serts its right to destroy a metal that
God must have created as a twin-money
metal with gold, since it is capable of
few other uses, and was plainly de-
signed as a medium of exchange and a
measure of values among the people.
No civilized country has ever attempted
to entirely dispense with silver coins,
and it is impossible to entirely destroy
silver as money metal That will
never be done. 1t can only be forced
into a subordinate relation to gold TC
prevent its use as debt-paying coin
equally with gold, the countries tina
are still under the control Of the prin
ciples of the old feudal system, whicl
includes all of Europe, confine its US,
as money, to subsidiary coinage, anC
limit it's legal tender power to sums no
exceeding $40 in one payment. 1t i
thus made "the money of the poor, " a
it is called, and is not permitted t.
enter into the larger dealings in whicl
it would become the competitor of gol,
coin. Those who earn it by day IS work
OF in small dealings, must spend it il
small sums, if they would enjoy it
value as money. They have no in
ducement to lay it up until the sur
gathered by them would become &C
cumulated capital and foundation TO
larger enterprises. Under such laws
with their hostile discrimination
! against silver, capital, represented b
gold, is in no danger of having it
purchasing power over labor and prop
erty reduced by the rivalry of silve
coins. The $40 legal tender limit t
silver in England is the safest fortified
ton that gold can possibly have agains
; the intrusive rivalry of silver. That
> wise British policy, as that empir
furnishes from its mines the maiorit

only an inconsiderable part of the ST
