The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1896-09-18

for cent compared with the plutocrats OF
the West who would arise If this country
had free silver policy such as is proposed
for few years. 1t would be remarkably
good thing for the silver mine owners II
the government held out Shall the people
who own this country plunge 1t into chaos
and incur the lasting shame and disgrace
OF reputation? Shall we turn 1t over at the
demand Of this Chicago convention, led by
the South Carolina blatherskite, and the
Illinois anaohist? If so, then in vain have
lived Lincoln and Grant.
The farmers have seen their farm lands
and farm products decline in value and
they have long been struggling and ready
TO give up in despair. To them have come
the silver men with their stories OF gold
bug oppression. So often have these stor-
les been heard that some of the farmers
have come to believe them. They have
been told that the men in the East cor
ner gold and make money out of hard
times. There Is no such thing as corner
ing gold. There is no attempt on the.
part of the East to antagonize the farm
ers Of the South and West. The sections
of the country are too closely mated
to oppose each other. All have suffered
from hard times. When the good times
come back and the country is once more
happy may all be bound together by what
we have passed through. Twice cursed be
the men who tried to array the South
against the North and the rich against
the poor.
Mr., Taylor denied the assertion made
by the silver men that there is not enough
money on which to do business. This
country has more silver than most coun-
tries and silver dollar will purchase as
much as a gold dollar. To coin silver at
the ratio Of 1G to l would put us on free
silver basis and our silver dollars. like
those Of Mexico and other silver countries,
would be worth hut so cents. Some of
the arguments Of the silver men are re-
markable. With one breath they tell you
that the value of silver would decrease
under the free silver policy, while on
tho other hand they tell you that the
price Of farm products would increase.
The silver men do not mind little thing
like an inconsistency.
1t is a grave question whether the an
of the adoption Of a free sill
YER policy would not make the greatest
