The Measure of Values.

The character of the money which shall
measure our values and exchanges and set
tie our balances with one another and with
the nations of the world is of such primary
Importance and so farroaching in its con
sequences us II call for the most painstak-
ing investigation and in the end a sober
and unprecedented judgment at the polls.
We must not he misled by phrases or delud-
ed by II false theory Free silver would not
mean that silver dollars were to be freely
had without cost or labor 1t would mean
the free Use of the minis of the United
States for tie few who are owners of silver
bullion. but would make silver coin no
frccr to the many who are engaged in 9th
er enterprises. 1t would not make labor
easier, the hours of labor shorter or he pay
better 1t would not make farming less la
borious or more profitable. 1t would not
start a factory or make demand for an
additional days labor 1t would create no
new occupations 1t would add nothing to
the comfort of the masses, the capital of
the people or the wealth of the nation 1t
seeks to introduce Il new measure of value
but would add no Value to the thing meas
ured. 1t would not conserve values. On
the contrary, it would dcrangc all existing
values. 1t would not restore business con-
fidence, but its direct effect would be to de-
stroy tie little which yet remains
The meaning of the coinage plank adopt
ed at Chicago is that any one may take IA
quantity of silver bullion now worth 81
cents to the mints of the United States,
have it coined at the expense of the govern
mCnt and receive for it II silver dollar
which shall he legal tender for the pay
ment of all debts, public and private. The

The Dollars Compared.

We have coined since 1878 more than
400, 600, 900 silver dollars, which are main
tanned by the government ut parity
with gold and are n full legal tender for
the payment of all debts, public and pri-
yate. How are the silver dollars now In
use different from those which would be in
use under free COINAGE They are to be OF
the same weight and fneness. They are
to bear the same stamp of the government.
Why would they not be of the same value?
| answer:
The silver dollars now in use were coined
on account of the government and not for
private account or gain, and the govern
ment has solemnly agreed to keep them rs
good as the best dollars we have. The gov
eminent bought the silver bullion at its
market value and coined it into silver
dollars. Having exclusive control of the
mintage, IL only coins what it can hold at
"a parity with gold. The profit, represent
ing the difference between the commercial
value of the silver bullion and the face val
ne of the silver dollar, goes to the govern
ment for the benefit of the people The
government bought the silver bullion con
tanned in the silver dollar at very much
less than its coinage value. 1t paid II out
to it's creditors and put 1t in circulation
among the people at its face value Of 100
cents or full dollar Itrequircd the PEG
pie to accept ii as "A legal tender and is thus
morally bound to maintain it at parity
with gold which was then, as now, the
recognized standard with Us and the most
enlightened nations of the world. The gov
eminent having issued aud circulated the
silver dollar it must in honor protect the
holder from loss. This obligation it has SO
far sacredly kept Not only is there n
moral obligation, but there is "a legal ohli-
CATION expressed in public statute to main
tain the PARTY
