r. Z. McColloch, of Anthony, es-
poused the cause of gold monometal-
lism at the court house last night. 1t
was one of the weakest attempts to de-
fend republican legislation we have
ever heard and instead of being a relia-
BILE speaker, he can misrepresent facts,
misquote statesmen and garble figures
as much so as can G M. Martin. He got
Oft the usual rot about "50-cent dol
lar" thing that we never can have
unless an act of congress declares dol
lar shall be worth only so cents, and
went on to predict what free coinage
would result in until he disguised the
whole audience. He thought dear
dollar was the best dollar. 1t would
buy so much for the farmer and the
laborer, but he didn't say that when
the dollar was not so dear it required
only one bushel of the farmers wheat
and only half day of the laborer's la
Dor to get that dollar whereas under the
existing gold Standard it requires
four bushels of the farmers wheat and
day and a half or two days of the la
borer's labor to get that dollar now. If
Mr.. McColloch had desired to state the
truth he would have said that the ex-
listing standard makes a dollar buy
four times as much of labor and farm
products as it did under bimetaIlism,
but after the products pass into the
hands of monopolies they Immediately
enhance in value and the farmer buys
back these same products for three or
four times as much as he receives for
them. In one respect Mr.. McColloch
was calamity howler-an extreme
one. He pictured the awful condition
of the American people and got it about
right, and then and there his only ar
gument was made; but was unconsci-
ously against the existing gold stand
ard. Of cOurse he wanted to make his
hearers believe that this condition of
affairs was due to the democratic ad-
ministratiOn and slight reduction in
tariff rates. but the facts were against
him. The Mckinley law was in force
ton and the present law so closely re.
sembles the Mckinley law that John
Sherman has several times commended
it. Like all republican speakers be
dwelt largely upon the fact that the
Bland-Alllson and Sherman laws coined
considerable silver but he didn't try t
justify the repeal of those laws-virtu
ally admitting that had 1t not been fol
these laws the crisis that now is upor
us would have come long ago. w,
would like to mention few more of his
| fallacies but we have not sufficien
time. The audience was small and tn,
enthusiasm" was smaller. The re
publican glee club sang few songs be
fore the speaking began and managed
to pound some very common music GU
of most contemplate words.
