If there is working man in the
country who honestly believes in the
gold standard. the character of the
arguments (0 by which it is defended
should very quickly convince him OF
his error.
The stasement that the incomes OF
the blacksmith. the carpenter, the
salesman and the agricultural laborer
are fixed is an insult to the intelli-
gence of 100000 of American work
ing men.
There is another idea involved that
Is equally preposterous and equally
false.
1t is that under free coinage the
workingman would get no more dol
lars than he does now, and each dol.
lar wonld only be worth fifty cents.
That is impossible. The only way
free coinage can make dollars cheap.
or is by making them more plentiful.
If they become more abundant, then
the workingman will certainly get
more of them.
If they be not more plentiful, then
they cannot possibly be any cheaper.
If under free coinage ''dolIars" be,
come cheaper, as they certainly will,
it means that prices will rise-that a
dollar will not buy SO much.
The economic history of the world
proves that the condition of the wage
Garner always advances with rising
prices. From 1860 to 1878 prices stead

Shareholder, the rise was about IL or

But Mr.. Carlisle stated in his Mem
phis speech that wages fell 53per cent
during that time.
Rising prices increase profits, slim
ulates business, creates demand for
labor, gives employmentto more PEG.

These facts are so universally recog.
nized by economists that they are
questioned by no one who is not per.
meated through and through by the

An Absurd Contention.

The Herald assures the farmers of
Dubuque county that if free coinage
were restored the $G20,000,OO0 (?) of
| gold would at once leave the country,
and that at the same time the value
, or purchasing power of the remain
ing silver dollars would depreciate SO
per cent. In other words, though
the whole amount of money were
diminished one half the value of the
remaining half would fall.
This is an insult to the farmers in
telligence, for every soil tiller knows
that when there is a short crop of
wheat or oats or barley the price of
the grain goes up, and knowing this
he also knows that if the supply of
money were shortened by the loss of
$500, 900, 900 of gold, the value of the
remainder would go up and not down
If gold should go, as the Herald pre-
diets, the silver dollar, instead of
buying only one half as much as now,
would buy twice as much. And if
the quantity of money were so cur
tailed as to make the silver dollar
worth double what it is to-day, the
very conditions would exist in which
gold would return. The yellow metal
would then have greater buying
power here than in any other coun-
try on the globe, and it would flow
to the United States from every na-
ton of Europe. Not a single trans.
atlantic, steamship reaching our
ports but would come laden with it.
The Herald's contention is an
atfront to the farmers inasmuch as it
assumes that they are set of ignor-
amuses without capacity to reason,
and who may be easily deceived into
believing anything, however absurd.
OF course our contemporary does not
believe its own statement Nobody,
not an ass, can believe it, for it con-
tradlcts sense, experience and every
economic authority. Telegraph.

Teaching False Doctrine.

One thousand dollars in gold today
will buy enough silver bullion to
make 1878 silver dollars.
Now suppose that our minis were
opened to free silver coinage tomor-
row, and suppose you had $1,000 in
gold and you owed a debt of $1,000;
would you take the gold and pay the
debt, or would you go on the market
and buy enough silver bullion to e9-
change at the mint for 1878 legal
tender certificates, one thousand of
which would pay the debt, leaving
you 818 silver dollars or certificates
for your trouble? Who do you sup
pose would pay n debt in gold when
he could take trifie over baif the
amount and buy the silver to pay iii
-Sigourney Review.
Well, suppose" that our minis
opened to free coinage tomorrow
what would be the result? Not what
brother Hollingsworth anticipates, by
any means. The statute would then
be behind silver, as it is now behind
gold. Every silver dollar coined
would ue worth one hundred cents,
as would the bullion necessary for
the dollars, and no amount of SO,
phistry can make it otherwise. The
statute. or money function conferred
by law, is the thing, and nothing else
proof of which is found IN the fact
that gold itself has to be bolstered by
legislative enactment. Deprive gold
of the money function, of the fiat law
if you please, and its commodity value
will show greater decrease than was
shown by silver. The man who
breaches and teaches that Legislative
enactment confers intrinsic value OF
either gold or silver, teaches an6
breaches that which is false. Law il
fiat, nothing more, nothing less. Take
it from gold and gold will then fine

Messrs. Lazard Freres, who have
not even Englished their firm name
into Lazard Bros. said to an Evening
Post reporter Saturday that the ST.
100000 which they sent out on that
days steamer was drawn from the
sub-treasury "because it could not be
obtained anywhere else" Now, this
is what Lazard Freres said for publica-
ton and they ought to know what they
are talking about. When gold can
not be obtained from the banks except
in return for bonds on which bank
syndicates are enabled to make net
profits of from one to two millions in
weeks time, it may be set down for
fact that the country has about come
to the end of the single gold standard.
1t is sustained now solely by means of
violation of the spirit of the law.
But each bond issue makes the strain
greater, increases the demand for
gold, and hurries us forward to the
day when our currency system will
be not on a silver, but on a paper
basis.-Atlanta Constitution.

Why does scarce and dear mono

Why does scarce and dear money
make "overproduction" and low
prices? 1t does not in reality make
oyerproduction, but it makes surp.
lus of products, and that seems like
overproduction. When money is
scarce and dear, like it always is I'M
der gold standard, people can't buy
and that leaves surplus on the mar
ket, and compels low prices. If mon
ey was plenty like it was during and
just after the war, people would buy
more, the surplus would be consumed
and prices would be better. We pity

Boies Away From Home.

The popularity of Ex-Governor Hor-
ace Boies is growing daily, and ex-
tending all over this country. His
fearless utterances and conscientious
methods win him friends. The Hin
OILS State Register says of him: ''Ex-
Gov. Horace Boies, of Iowa, is "the
noblest Roman of them ALL" He be-
lleves that the free coinage of silver
is sound financial doctrine. At the
same time he recognizes the true dem
ocratic principle that majorities rule.
He has announced that he will enter
the list as a candidate for delegate-at-
large with the understanding that if
the state convention approves of the
standard gold policy of the admins
tration he will not serve. That is to
say if previously elected he will re-
sign, or if the platform is adopted be-
fore the selection of delegates, he will
not be q candidate, in the event the
convention declares for the gold
standard. This position is one that
does credit to the honest, sturdy.
democratic ex-governor of the Hawk
eye state. He will neither misrepre-
sent his convictions nor the voice of
the democrats of Iowa at the nation
al convention. If Horace Boies is a
delegate to the Chicago convention
he will be true representative, not
only of the body that sends him, but
also of his own honest, courageous,
self-respecting democratic views on
the money question. Horace Boies
would make a magnificent democratic
candidate for president. -Creston Ad-

tee. One point urged against Gov.
Boles is his statement that he does
not dessre to act as delegate, if the

opposition to the restoration of silver
coinage. Sans way of putting it is
that we must recognize as democrats

does not happen to suit them. This

In this district as an editor about five
or six years. During that time he has
attended two democratic COMPRESSION
al conventions as a delegate, The
flrst one was in 1892, when Walt H.
Butler was nominated. The Citizen
did not vote or support Mr.. Butler
during that campaign and Mr.. Sloane
did not vote for him. The second
convention that Mr.. Sloane attended
as delegate, was in 1894, when he
himself, appeared as candidate for
nomination, but was defeated in the
convention by j, F. Babcock of
Chickasaw county. During the cam
paign which followed, the Citizen
failed to give Mr.. Baboock It's sup
port, and at the election if reports be
true Mr. Sloane did not vote for him.
