equal truth and appropriateness apply
to another famous Nebraskan, whose ex-

must feel as bewildered with these two

prevailed upon Mr.. Sewall to stay where

"at." He wants to know whether he is

Bryan for Flint Money.
EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER

EX-SENATOR WARMER MILLER.
Mr.. Bryan nj heart cares nothing for
the free coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan
is first and last believer in fiat money,
and he is only using the free coinage
of silver to arrive at that finally. This
Is "a serious charge TO make. but II L
cannot prove il will apologize publicly
for il.
In the September number of the Arena
just last month-there is an article on
the currency by Mr.. Bryan, in which
he criticises Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds in time of peace, and espe-
cially for selling them TO syndicate.
without waiting for the aid or consent,
of any other nation, opens its mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
10 to l il will bring real relief to its peo-
pie, and will lead the way to the restora-
ton of bimetallism throughout the world.
IL will then be prepared TO perfect It's
financial system by furnishing, paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties and sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. Its paper
money will not be loaned then TO favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
of government, so that all may receive
the benefits"
This is fiat money, pure and simple.
pay the expenses of the government by
printing fiat money. This government
once launched upon that boundless sea
would as certainly fall and go down as
did the French republic. which was set
up at the close of the last century by
lot of theorists and revolutionists.
They issued during few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fiat money
called assignats and mandats. They
gave a legal-tender quality to 1t, but
while it could pay debts they could
not compel people to Ia Ike II in pur-
chase. In other words, they could give
legal-tender quality to the money, but
they could not give purchasing power
to il. From day to day il was issued,
until finally il all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not a single frame of 1t was
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
who had parted with their property
for il were rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was valueless.
Shall this be q lesson to us? And
can we contemplate the probability of
putting into power as President of the
United States a man who holds such
views? In my humble opinion there Is
but one way TO bring us back to prosper
ity and to the path of progress, and that
| is to return TO the system of admins
| tration which has been of such great
benefit to us in the past. and to follow
| i'm that path. to follow the lamp OF eX.
pericnce. TO do that every true. honest
American citizen, without distinction OF
| marty, should unite in this attempt al
restoration. and should by an overwhelm
| ing ma iOrity stamp out now ana forever
the heresy and the folly of cheap and
debased currency.
