is with silver, should the United States
open its minis the price of that metal
to the farthermost cornsF OF the world,
would go to its normal price Of sI29
per ounce, as is proven by the fact that
q few years ago, on the mere prospect
that congress would pass such law
the price Of silver went to s1.2L
Lastly, the goldbug is against re-
facilitating silver as a primary money
metal because it would enable the
debtor to more easily pay MS debts.
Great GOdl what a hellish reason for
oppositioni With the people of the
United States owing debts to the
amount Of over 5000, 100000, and some
writer's put it at double that amount, is
it not far to demand the opportunity
to pay in dollars no smaller than those
that we're borrowed? All the gold and
silver that the world has produced in
500 years, and the stock on hand prior
to that time has wasted away, would
pay but little more than One-half, and
the entire worlds stock of gold alone
would pay but a little more than one
fourth of the enormous debt that the
people of the United States must at
some time pay. With gold as the sole
primary money, the decline of prices,
as measured in that metal, has been so
great, that it is impossible to meet the
interest by itself much less reduce the
amount of the principal which rolls up
greater and greater at every turn.
With these facts before them how dare
these men who are for gold go before
the people and ask that by their votes
they send men to congress who are
pledged to a continuance of this damn
able policy that has bankrupted tens
of thousands, pauperized millions of
American free born citizens, and which
will bind the chains of financial slavery
on the limbs of an unborn posterity?
Money is the life blood of civilization
and in taking away one-half of it, the
bondholders have deprived the bread
winners Of everything in life but IN
RENTING toll and singing privation.

cause commercial and minting cOndi-
tons took It there. But We got full
value for it, and to whatever extent We
coined less than our proportion Of the
worlds silver. to thst same extent We
coined more than cur share of the
worlds gold; because the difference
was purely the result of conflicting
coinage ratios.
So long, then as France coined sill
yer freely, it made very little difference
whether We actually coined any or not.
But when that country closed her
minis, it made a vast difference, for
then our silver could be coined no
where except in the silver standard
countries, 1t can be laid down IS an
axiom that if a country has the unre-
stricted right to coin and use both gold
and silver as money, both viii be en-
ployed in the most advantageous way
possible. But if the right to use one of
them be curtailed, it is impossible for
the country to get the full beneficial
use of such metal.
By refusing to employ silver as
money metal, We not only derive our
selves of its use for such purpose, but
we also depreciate its actual value, and
thus deprive the country of a consider
able portion of its wealth.

was the republican party. By the way,
he is a large part Of it in this district
as far as his chances Of going to con
gress are concerned. Does it look
plausible that A. Il. Ellis wonld shape
the financial course Of the republican
party if he we're in congress, when
such men as Teller, Jones, Stewart and
a number of other senators and repre-
sentaEiyes have had no more influence
with the party on the finance question
than a feather in a cyclone? When
Ellis converts the party of John Sher-
man TO the adoption of free coinage of
the American product or any other
product, il will be when the cukoos
nest again. Ellis would be as help
less in congress as a clam in the jaws
Of a whale. Ellis is not troubling his
brain over any economic question at
stake in the campaign. He is more
particularly wanting to go to congress.
To call man a friend of silver who
weakly advocates the coinage of the
American product under restrictions,
only Outrages common sense. No one
need to be deceived in the coming
campaign. A silver man knows no
middle ground on the question. A
silver man believes in it; has his heart
in it; takes it from where it was assassi-
mated up to its restoration, as a man
who has goods stolen wants them all
returned in his full possession. A silver
man is known by his open, uneompro-
missing advocacy in and out of season
for its reconciliation. A silver man
| is an aggressive fighter, a tireless foe OF
goldbugism. If Ellis was the kind Of
a silver man here described, he could
have the endorsement Of the pOpulists
of the district, but he is not a silver
man, greenbacker, anti-monopolist OF
for one reform of any value to the
country. His sympathies are with the
eastern money Shylocks and tariff bar
ons. 1t is this class of men he loves
to coquette with. Perhaps he is not
responsible for it, as he is built that
way, but the people do not want to be
responsible for a man like Ellis in con
gress and they wOn't-BeIoit Call,

GEN. WARNER on SILVER.

President Of the BImetsllic Union Wants
the Silver Forces United
CHICAGO, May 23.-Gen, Al, Warner,
of Marietta, O., president of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic union, and one Of the
original free silver men, is in the city
to consult with the local sixteen to one
men regarding the meeting of the
executive committee of the American
Bimetallie union: Gen. Warner said:
The growth of the silver sentiment, OF rather
its manifestations at the democratic primaries
in the selection Of delegates, has been astOnish-
ing, even to enthusiastic silver men like myself,
and now it seems almost certain that this senti-
ment will continue to grow until the convention
meets in Chicago in July. believe the silver
sentiment will control the convention, and that
the democrats will adopt free silver platform
and nominate free coinage candidates.
If the democrats adopt an Out-and-OUt free
silver plank, what viii the silver men do at
their convention in st. Louis, July 227
We are for the cause. Silver men must unite
ana not divide, and if the democratic national
convention adopts a straight Out-and-Out BIZ
metallic platform and dominates safe candi.
dates on such platform, there viii be no course
open for the silver men but to join on that plat
form aud vote for such candidates. Then there
would be no excuse for another silver party
unite and conquer" is our Watchword. Divi
sion means defeat
Suppose the gold men control the democratic
conyentiOni
| Then the silver convention, which viii meet il
st. Louis, July p, will name silver ticket and
call upon the silver men of the whole country 70
support il, irrespective Of party.

The republican congressman now in
congress and the republican senator
are on record as in favor of that policy.
The republican nominees for congress
to be voted for at the coming election
are also for that policy as are all the
candidates for United States senator
within the republican party. Should
the republicans carry Kansas this fall
a solid delegation viii be sent to Wash
shington who would cast a vote against
any measure looking to the remoneti-
cation OF silver or the coinage Of any
of that metal. Kansas, as producing
state, has everything to lose and moth
ing to gain from a gold standard and
in voting for men who will support
and uphold that policy, the people OF
this state are but voting away the
bread from their mouths and from
their wives and children.

FALsE AssVMPTION.

The assumption that we must have a
monetary system in accord with that
of England is a cOunfounding of all
distinctions. Our interests are direct
ly the reverse of those of England.
She is the greatest creditor nation in
the world. We are the greatest debtor.
If dollars" can be doubled in value
Ii. e., purchasing power she collects
twice as much. If dollars" be doubled
in value, we pay twice as much. That
is the difference in a nutshell.
England is a creditor to the extent
of s1O,OOO,OOO,OOO. We are a debtor to
the extent of s6OOO,OOO,OOO. This is
about the amount of our foreign debt.
But the reader must not infer that
foreigners have sent s6,OOOOOO,OOO over
here and invested it. Not at all. As
shown by Gen. Warner in his Mono
graph on our debt abroad, published in
No. 3, of the National Bimetallist, in
1869 our total foreign debt amounted
to only s1,2OO,O0OOOO.
Since then we have exported $685.
921, 720 more gold and silver than we
have imported, and s17493 ,231 more
merchandise than we have imported.
This makes a total balance in our favor
of s2,356,OOO,OOO. And yet our foreign
debt has risen from about s1,2OO,OOO,-
600 to s6,OOO,OOO,OOO
How has this startling condition
arisen? Simply by the reinvestment
Of profits. The foreign creditor has
drawn out such sums as he needed,
while the remainder has been reinvest-
ed. Of course each reinvestment
means an additional burden of inter
est, which the American producer must
annually pay to the foreign creditor
Thus in a great measure the tremen-
dOus productive capacity of the United
States has been used to increase our
debt, and add to the tribute We must
annually pay to Europe, large por-
ton of which goes to England. The
more profitable these Refreshments
the greater the debt becomes. But
when the Refreshments cease to be
profitable, they cease to be made, and
the European creditor takes larger
and larger proportion of his American
income abroad.
Then away goes our gold, as fast as
"Ocean greyhounds can carry it,"
One more fact Of the most moment,
GUS significance.
To pay our present foreign debt Of
s6,0OO,OO0,0OO on a gold basis, would
take as many of our great staples as in
1869 or 1873 would have paid debt Of
s12,0O0,OO0,OOO-the prices having fallen
One-half. So that without having re
ceiYed an additional dollar from
abroad, and after having exported g,
356,OOO,0OO more Of gold, silver and
merchandise than We have imported
our foreign debt has in effect increased
from s1,2GOOOOOOO to just about ter
times that sum.
And yet we are seriously told tina
we must be in accord with the tinan
cial policy of England, and continue tC
pay our debts at the rate of two dollars
for one, in order to be "honest."
