The Party Of Anarchy.

From Leslie's Weekly
The democratic party, under its
new leadership, has become party
of anarchy, reputation, and treason.
1t declares in so many words, in its
national platform, that there is no
power in the general government
which may be properly used to pro-
tect the rights and property of citi-
zens endangered by lawlessness
and riot.
Two years ago there was a riotous
outbreak in the city of Chicago, which
for several days defed all authority,
paralyzed all business, and held the
commerce of the country by the
throat. Millions of property were en-
dangered by the excuses of misguided
and maddened men. The governor
of the state, sympathizing with the

Free Silver and State Banks.

Some curiosity has been expressed as
to why no effort was made to insert a
plank in the st. Louis platform favor
ing the repeal of the tax of ten
per cent on state bank circulation
The south was quite strenuous for the
adoption of such plank in 1892. 1t
has not yet given up the idea but it is
proceeding on different plan. After
the failure of this measure in the Fifty
third congress Speaker Crisp said, in
the hearing of a Michigan congressman,
ave shall have the west with us the
next time we make the attempt. The
people in the west want free silver
coinage. They will not get it unless
the repeal of the state bank tax is
coupled with it," And that is the
present scheme. 1t is not in the plat
form, but it is in the plan. Even if the
Democrats carry the day the west can
not pass a free coinage law without
the aid of the south. And the repeal
of the state bank tax will be the price
which it will have to pay.
The platform upon which Mr.. Bryan
was nominated proposes to take from
the national banks the privilege of is
suing circulating notes, reserving that
power exclusively TO the government.
But the national bank notes are inf
nitely better than the state bank cur
rency that existed before the national
banks were established. Then the
notes of Indiana banks would not cir
culate at par in Michigan, nor those of
Michigan in New York. If man had
500 in state bank currency at the be-
ginning of the week he might find,
when his bank note detector came at
the end of the week, that the currency
was not worth SIS. 1t is revival of
this system that the south wants, and
the demand will be made that this
system and free silver coinage go to-
gether. They are tit companions. A
ffty-cent dollar in coin, and an unse.
cured dollar in paper made congenial
monetary companionship.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-08-12

The charge Is often made by the advo-
Gates of free silver coinage that
the Republican convention at St
Louis shifted from the ground
upon which the party has
stood, and enunciated new principle
on the currency question. Let us see.
AS early as 1861 the government made
an issue of treasury demand notes,
which were received by the govern
ment for all dues, but which were at
first refused by bankers, railroads and
merchants. In order that they might
not be in any way discredited circular
was issued, stating that they would be
redeemed in coin at any of the SUBJ
treasures, and Gen. Scott issued an
ofder 10 the army in the field, stating
that the troops would be paid in part
in these notes, but that the notes were
''as good as gold in all banks and gov
eminent offices throughout the United
States" Aside from the subsidiary
coinage, gold was the only coin then
in use, and the wording of Gen. SCOTS
order shows that the Republican adj
ministration Of that time meant gold
when it said coin
In urging the passage of the act of
1873 the director of the mint gave as a
reason that the silver dollar had been
practically out of circulation for 40
years, and that act simply recognized
in law what had for that long period
been the standard in fact, the gold
standard. Again in 1880 the Repub-
lican platform, upon which Garfield
was elected, gave as one of the acts for
which the Republican party deserved
commentator that it had raised the
paper currency of our country TO 1.-the
par of gold"
The platform of 1854 made this
declarations: 1--WE have always recon-
mended the best money known to the
civilized world, and we urge that eff
forts should be made to unite all COM
mercial nations in the establishment
of an international standard, which
shall fix for all the relative value of
gold and silver coinage; and that,
though with different wording, is prac-
tically the same ground as that taken
in the platform of 1896.
The party has always recognized
gold as the standard. 1t has never IA
vored the free coinage of silver, but
only such use of that metal as was con-
sistent with its being maintained at
par with gold. 1t was under this pol
icy, united with that of protection,
that we had the prosperous times from
1883 to 1892, and it is this policy COM
bined with return to protection and
reciprocity that will give us prosperous
times again.

A manufacturer who favors free S

A manufacturer who favors free sill
yer coinage recently made the candid
admission: 1--WE want to push our prod
ucts into all the markets of the world.
The only thing that stands in our way
is the high price of labor. Everything
we make has come down in price.
Labor is still at the old high price. If
free coinage of silver became the law
we could pay labor in 5O-cent dollars,
which would bring it down TO the level
of other commodities as they rule now.
This accomplished we could compete
with any country in the world in for
cign markets" This might be good
thing for the exporter, but how about
the laborer and the farmer? To the
laborer it would mean n reduction of
wages and scale of living to the Euro
pean or Chinese standard. To the
farmer it would mean the loss of his
best market, for 50-cent wage earners
cannot be good buyers.

1.-The sun is about 5000, 900 miles
distant from the earth" writes Alden
w. Quimby in Ladies Home Journal.
1T varies through the year because the
earth's orbit is elliptical. and the sun
is at one focus of the ellipse The earth
is more than 3, 900, 900 of miles nearer
the sun in December than in June, al
which time the ATTITUDES south of the
equator receive his direct rays and ex-
perience the great heat Of their summer.
Let us try TO comprehend the figures
stated. The other day two racers of the
sea proudly lowered the record of trans
atlantic passage. Could they turn their
prows TO the sun, and drive their great
engines day and night in the crossing of
the ether main. il would be 500 years
before they could reach harbor.
Most persons have noticed the ap-
preciable interval of time between the
stroke Of an AK at distance and the re-
sultant sound. Could we hear the sound
of solar explosion we would know that
the explosion had occurred Ia years be-
fore. Perhaps the most striking illustra-
ton is that which imagines little
child to have an arm long enough to
reach the sun. The child might thrust
its fingers into the seething fires, but it
would grow up to maturity and calmly
descend into the valley of extreme old
age, blissfully unconscious of any pain
from the burning; in fact, it would re-
quire another such lifetime to bring the
news TO the brain. ~

The most significant thing about the
comparison is that while the deposits OF
all kinds are only Sl,s54, 900 less than
in 1893 the loans and discounts, which
represent the active business use of
money, are S4,537, 2O4 less. The re-
mainder of the differences in deposits
is accounted for by the increase in the
comparatively idle uses of money found
in deposits in other banks, stocks,
bonds and mortgages, and specie. The
latter, chiefly gold, has increased $780,
900, and this is entirely idle capital.
The savings deposits are almost as
large as when at the highest tide, but
there is less disposition to draw on
them for investment. Much of the
time during the last year the supply of
money has been greater than the de-
mand for Legitimate business use.
What has been needed, and what is
mainly needed now, is not more money,
nor cheap money, but more business,
and protective tariff, with reciprocity
treaties, will bring this much more
speedily and certainly than the talk
about free coinage.

If there was any such scarcity of
money or any such profit in national
bank circulation us is often represented
the issue of such notes would be much
larger than it is. According to the
statements just published four of the
national banks of Detroit, which are
authorized TO issue 81, 100000 in notes,
have only Sl66,G30 out. The national
banks of the whole country, with an
authorized circulation Of S59l, 42l ,94S,
had at the time of their last compiled
statements, only Sls2. ASH $40 in actual
circulation. If there was any such
lack of currency as To make the circu-
lation profitable the banks would issue
more of it, The disease of the times is
not a scarcity of money but scarcity
Of business. The remedy is not free
silver solution but tho tonic effect of
protective tariff, with reciprocity
treaties.

SOME democratic newspapers are
selecting scraps from the speeches of
the late James G.. Blaine delivered in
the great currency debate in congress
in 1873, separating them from the
context, and so destroying them as TO
draw the inference that, if alive TO.
day, he would be found in the silver
camp. We would respectfully refer
all such to IA speech Mr.. Blaine de-
livered in the senate, Feb. Z, 1873.
during the debate on the Bland Alli-
son act, when he said "The free coin
coinage of silver dollar containing
4l2t grains, worth in gold about 90
cents, giving an illegitimate profit to
the owner of the bullion, enabling
him to take 90 cents worth of it TO
the mint and get it stamped as coin,
and therefore force his neighbor to
take it as full dollar, is an undue
and unfair advantage which the gov
eminent has no right to give silver
bullion, and which defrauds the man
who is forced to take the dollar"
Our free coinage friends are welcome
to all comfort they can get from the
speeches of James G.. Blaine. While
he was not gold monometallist,
neither was he an inhationist nor a
repudiator. If alive to-day, he would
be found, as he always was, fighting
for republican supremacy. If he
saw dishonesty in the coinage of a
90 cent dollar, how would he see
honesty in one worth but 81 cents?

An Honest Dollar and a Chance to
Earn 1t.
Committee

Republican doctrine, the very es-
sence of it, is condensed in the head
ing to this article. The question
then arises, what is an honest dollar?
In our understanding, it is a dollar
that is intrinsically worth the amount
stamped on its face, or that is re-
deemable by the government at its
face value. A dishonest dollar, on
the other hand, would be one that
was not intrinsically worth its face
value, or that was not fully and abb
solutely redeemable. To-day, we
have none but 'honest" money,
every dollar being worth as much as
any other dollar, and all interchange
able at their face value. To main
tain this equality between the diff
ferent branches of our currency has
been the time honored policy of the
republican party, and to that policy
it stands pledged to-day.
Whenever from any cause an era
of hard times and business depression
comes, great hue and cry goes over
the country that there is something
wrong with the currency. Then fiat
schemes forge rapidly to the front.
At one time the unlimited issue of
greenbacks (hatism run mad) was the
proffered panacea for all national
ills. Now it is the unlimited coin
age of silver (fatism half way) that
seems to some deluded people to be
their financial hope and salvation
AS we have before pointed out, the
difficulty with these schemes is that
the primary purpose of the creation
of money is lost sight of. Primarily,
the purchasing power of money is its
object, to facilitate the exchange of
goods and to do away with the
necessity for the clumsy system of
barter. Out of this function grows
the secondary purpose of money, its
debt paying power-thc debts them
selves growing directly out of the
exchange of commodities. In the
coinage of money, the stamp of the
government does not add one iota of
value to the metal. Coinage is mere
ly the certificate of the government
as to weight and fneness. It's intrin-
sic value as bullion, according to its
recognized market price, is what
regulates and fixes its purchasing
power. No statute of the United
States can add to or take from its
purchasing power. Doubtless the
government could legislate into 81
cents worth of silver a dollars worth
of debt paying power-and that is
exactly where the dishonest dollar
would come in.
One of two effects would follow
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-08-12

the free coinage of silver by the Un-
tied States at ratio of IL to /. No
one in his senses believes that any
action on the part of this country
alone would materially affect the price
of gold. That being true, either sill
yer would be practically doubled in
value by free coinage or else there
would be wide disparity between the
value of gold and silver dollar. If
the first alternative came TO pass, the
American dollar would be Of exactly
the same value as fIcw aud the "poor
debtor" that the silverites profess
so great sympathy for would have
to produce exactly as much wheat or
other products as now in order TO
pay his debts. If the second altern-
alive come to pass, the disparity be-
tween gold and silver coins would
inevitably drive the gold out of our
American circulation and put the
country upon silver basis. The
latter is what the NoRTHERNER be-
lieves would result, giving to the
American people cheap and dis
honost dollar. The silverites are in
reality the monometallists of to-day.
Not only is an honest dollar a ne
cessity to the well-being of the re-
public, but a chance for every man
to earn it is equally essential. To
bring about this condition, it is nec-
essary that fires be re.kindled in
American furnaces, wheels be turn
ed in all American factories, work
be resumed in American mines and
prosperity be given again to Amer
lean farmers. How is this to be
brought about? BY creating de-
mand for the products of these varied
industries. How is this TO be accom-
plished? BY the re enactment of such
a protective tariff as will force the
great American public to buy Amer
lean goods and as will effectually
shut out the products OF foreign
cheap labor from our American mar
kets. This is the solution of the
American industrial and financial
situation.
1t is not possible that the demo-
cratic party, even by the eloquence
of Candidate Bryan and by the infu-
ence of Sewall's "bar'l," can convince
the American voters that the crisis of
1913 was the result of financial en-
actment of twenty years previous;
and especially will that be difficult,
because of the fact that the depres-
sion followed so closely on the heels

pie of ''tariff reform"

disorderly classes, not only refused
to employ the authority at his COM
mand for the suppression of the re-
volt against law and order, but when
the executive Of the nation, in obedi-
ence to public necessity, interposed
the military power for the protection
of the public, that faithless official en-
tered his protest, thereby dishonor-
ing himself and his state in the eyes
of the nation, and. giving encourage
ment TO the avowed champions of
rapine and pillage. There never
was a case in which the authority of
law, and the competency of the gov
eminent to maintain it, was more
distinctively at issue. The democrat
ic convention, held in the city where
this issue was SO clearly raised, de
clares by its resolutions that the in
reference of the Federal authorities
in that and similar cases is an arbitra-
ry violation of the constitution and
crime against free institutions. In
that declaration it gives sanction to
the bomb-throwing anarchists, TO the
lawless outbreak of Debs and his
associates and practically says to
every criminal in the land that, the
local authority failing to assert itself
for his punishment, there resides, no.
where, any power to impose upon
him the penalty which his offenses
may deserve.
We had supposed that we had set
tied the question thirty odd years
ago as to the right of the govern
ment to maintain itself. The demo.
cratic convention declares that this
was a mistake-that the government
has no right to suppress revolt, dis
order, or revolution, and it goes to
the country upon that issue. We
have no doubt at all that the answer
will be in 1896 what it was in the
sixties. The American people, be-
lieving in law and holding to the essen
tial necessity of orderly government,
abhorring treason and communism,
will reject this new democratic gos-
pei and reaffirm, with an emphasis
which cannot be mistaken, the right
of the people, anchored in the con-
stitution and the government, to pro-
tect themselves against menace and
peril from whatever quarter, whether
it come with the torch of the in
cendiary, with bomb of the anarch
list, or with the organized force
of armed revolt. And foremost
in this display of patriotic de-
votion 10 the best interests of the
nation will be great body of dem
ocrats who count it more honorable
to stand for cherished principle than
to follow the party flag when it be-
comes the standard of revolution.
