Republican Candidates

The candidates upon the repub-
lican ticket are worthy the support
of all men. From VIM Mckinley
down through the state and county
tickets, the voters of Hand county
can be assured that they can vote
for men who are well qualified to fill
the duties of the various offices.
There never was a time since the
settlement of the country when the
voters took more interest in the
great issues at stake. In this life We
learn by experience, and as we have
tried both democracy and populism
to some extent, we can Judge the fu-
ture by the past. The greatest bene-
fits to the masses have been secured
under republican administration,
both national and local. The peo-
pie cannot be wheedled nor preju-
diced; they now understand the sit
uation, and the PRESS takes great
pleasure in assuring its feaders that
the intelligent majority will record a
victory for the republican party on
November. :'fd. in the United States,
in South Dakota, in Hand county,
and in Miller township. This is now
assured, and would be the result If
the vote were taken today, but by
earnest, enthusiastic work that every
| republican cttn do in the next two
weeks, the majorities can be ir-
creased.

THAT COUNTFRFEIT DOLLAR.

The Mexican silver dollar, which
has been circulated about Miller for
some time at 80 cents, is an actual
bona-fde Mexican dollar. There
WIS no possible argument to Offset
this, so number OF free silverites
foolishly said they Were counterfeit.
Of course no intelligent person be-
lieved such a thing, but To haye alb
solute proof, citizen OF Miller seat
one OF them TO the editor OF Two
Republics, = paper pUblished at the
city OF Mexico, asking what the coin
was, how much it was worth, etc,
and to send his paper for it. The
answer was that it is Il Mexican sill
yer dollar and contains 81 grams
pure silver-or 81 more grains than
the L. 5. silver dollar. \ copy of
the paper Two Republics was re-
ceived Tuesday, and among its reg
uIar market quotations for other
commodities appears the market
price of silver, thus; Mexican dol
lar. 49X cents" 4 few months ago
the Mexican dollar was worth 53
cents. Now it is worth less than 80
cents. Shall the United States adopt
Mexico's free coinage cheap dollar?

SHALL WE INVITE 4 PANIC

SHALL WE INVITE \ PANIC.
The greatest difficulty to an un-
derstanding OF the real ruIlments
and basis of the money question is
the supposition on the part of some
people that a government can make
money. Money is not made. 1t is
found. A paper BILL, greenback,
bank note, etc, is not mOnev-mere-
ly IA promise to pay money. Money
is commodity. 1t is gold and sill
Notwithstanding precious metals.
The government stamp does not
give them value. Ii the government
could make money why not start
the government printing press and
relieve us all from paying our taxes?
Why not 90 farther and have the
government print enough money
'and pass it around among us so we
wo%ll CoYar hnvcH to- work again :?
The government can no more create
money than it can create corn or
wheat, or any other commodity.
Gold and silver are money-nOthing
else. We may call paper currency
"money" but it is not. 1t is a
promise to be redeemed. Money,
real money, is something valuablein
itself and needs no redemption.
Gold and silver are money the world
over-the only real question OF diff
culty in financial science being to
use both as a standard of measure
when it is impossible to keep the two
metals at any given ratio. They
will vary according to production
and use. If they never varied both
could be used as standard, but as
they do vary it is best to select one
of them as a standard OF measure,
and measure the other according to
| that one-then there will be no ups
and downs in money, but it will al
ways measure exactly alike, as the
ward stick does. This is demon
strated the world oyer bythe history
of mankind. Hence the most intel
ligent portion OF the world decided
| to make lust one standard of meas
ure. They took gold as that meas
ure, because it is the most valuable
| commodity, and takes less OF it i'll
weight and size to make necessary
coins. 1t would not have made any
difference if to begin with the world
had made silver the standard, and
measured gold by silver. The only
difference would have been the weight
and size OF the coins. But now we
are, and the enlightened world is,
upon a gold standard. To change
this country alone to any other
standard would change all existing
measures, and create the most dis.
astrous panic and business revolu-
ton the world ever saw. What is
the use or sense in dong such &
thing? None whatever, and the re
publican platform says it shall not
be done. The democratic platform
says it shall be done. Take your
choice.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1896-10-22

Do not forget this one fact, nor
let any one deceive you about it. If
Mckinley is elected the money now
in use will not be changed II particle
without agreement OF several lead
inc countries. The currency now is
gold, silver and paper, in nearly
equal quantities. 1t will continue
along Just as it is.

Mr.. Bryan's extensive tour OF the
country simply displays physical,
not mental, ability. While he can
and has made some very able speech
es in his public career, it is admitted
upon all sides that the speeches ne Is
now making contain no argument
or instruction. The man who once
makes a great speech which attracts
the world, will ever have Il respon-
sibility of equalling his own record.
This has not been done, hence the
majority OF people who now hear
Mr.. Bryan, go away with n feeling
Of disappointment. Perhaps they
exnected too much, but the gentle
mans entire reputation is based up
op his claims as an orator, and when
he fails to satisfy critical public,
u very natural disappointment fol-
lows His tremendous efforts in his
own behalf, almost unaided, which is
evidently now telling upon his phys
ical powers, will obtain expressi ons
of pity rather than admiration.

FACTS, Not FANCY

/. The law of 1878 did not con-
tract the currency OF the United
States by so much as a penny.
=. The currency OF the country IS
now three times as much as it was III
1870, and the poorest dollar we have
now is as good as the best dollar we
had then
}. From 1878 to 1892 the United
States enjoyed the greatest prospect
ty that has eyer been experienced by
this or any other nation since histo-
ry has been written.
4. Neither the act OF 1878 norany
act since has driven n dollar OF silver
out OF circulation nor lessened the
power of any silver dollar.
). This country has coined 80
times as many silver dollars since
1873 as Ut did prior to that time,
and every dollar coined since is as
good as any dollar coined before.
6. This country has more silver
money in gross, and more per capita
than any free silver country in the
world.
Z. Every silver dollar eyer coined
by this government, whether before
or since 1878, is full legal tender for
any debt in the United States. The
legal tender quality of silver dollars
has never been abridged except dur
inc the five years from 1878 to
1878.
8. In this country silvercirculates
side by side with gold, and silyer'
dollar will buy as much OF any
kind of property as a gold dollar,
but this is not true of any free silver
country.
8. A silver dollar will buy twice
as much of any kind of property in
the United States as 1t will in any
free silver country on earth.
10. The per capita circulation OF
money in the United States is BIB per
cent more than it is inGreat Britain.
! IL. Mexico has free and unlimited
coinage of silver, but one American
silver dCl'ar will buy two Mexican
silver dollars, even in Mexico.
II. The wages OF labOrers are
much higher in the United States
than in Mexico, and the cost of liv-
ing is less.
13. The per capita circulation in
this country is nearly three times
that of tree silver Mexico, and one OF
our poorest collar will buy two Of
Mexico's best dollars. 80"
IA. The world has produced as
much gold, and twice as much silver,
in the last % years us in the previ-
ous 80 years.
15. The worlds coinage of gold
alone has averaged more this year
for the last % years than the coin
age of gold and silver combined the
previous 80 years.
16 This country had free coinage
of both metals for 80 years, but it
never had the concurrent circulation
of gold and silver till 1879.
II. This country is under the sim
gle gold standard now, has been SO
legally since 1874, and has been SO
practically since 1884.
; Is. The last official treasury
statement issued which is up to July
1st, 1896, gives the amount OF mon
ey now i'm circulation in the United
States as follows:
Gold cOlnS.................. SOOo, lUO,OOO

Another Paper Boycotted.

One more instance OF an effort to
suppress free speech is brought to
notice. The PRESS thought it would
enjoy exclusively the boycott by
Hand county populists, but "A special
telegram from Tabor, Iowa, pub
lished in the papers announces that
popocrats OF that place have boy
cotted the Tabor Beacon. We be-
licve these two are the only instanc-
es where such II thing has been at
tempted The account of the Tabor
incident concludes thus: The editors
OF the Beacon announce that they
do not propose to let the matter
drop, and not n few OF the signers
are shivcring in their boots for fear
the projectors OF the Beacon will
avail themselves of the law regard
ing bOycotts and conspiracies."

sparkle and dance in shining beauty
all around, the air is balmy and invig-
Grating, and all on board are happy
in their supposed safety. When out
day or so, the scene changes. the hoTi-
zon is black with angry looking clouds,
the sea begins to swell, and the waves
mountain high roll in fury about the
ship. the roar Of distant thunder is
heard above the bowling of the winds,
and upon the cracking and bending
naasts of the ship play the forked light
nings. Suddenly, above the roar of the
storm, is heard the well known voice
of the captain; amidst the great con-
fusion he speaks; his words, like blasts
from well tuned golden trumpet, re-
vertebrate through the ship, and the
echo is caught up by the winds and
speeded to the travellers in the path
way of the storm. All ears are attent
to catch his every word, crisis is inn
minet, the ship plunges over rocks, her
rigging is torn into shreds. and her
broken maSts and storm beaten deck
tell the story of her struggle for life.
Imagine at such a time, the consterna-
ton, the surprise and hopeless despair
of the confiding and frightened voy-
ayers, when they hear the captain say,
abide in the ship; there is no storm;
these foam-capped pillows are mere
phantoms; these roaring thunders
are but hooking echoes, the screaming
winds are but the chirping of new
fledged birds and these binding
lightnings are but the flashes of the
freely. There is no storm; all these
things are unimportant to che safety
of the ship.
If they can get together, there are
enough Democratic sailors in the land
to save the ship Let them come to the
resclle. Let them come, whether from
the ranks of Populism, or from under
the shining shields of the silverites,
whether from the ancient order of JEFF
ferson and his compatriots, or more
latterly from the legions who followed
the flag of Cleveland, whose banners
