Will the silver dollar, under free coin
age be worth dollar: The free silver
men say it will because the government
will be behind it and will make it worth
collar. If the government guarantees
it to be worth dollar, then the silver
miners. at the present rate OF production
will get annually from the government
which is the representative OF The people
about $64, OO0,0 900 for nothing. In ten
years il the production should not in
crease the government gratuity to the
silver mine owners would be six hundred
and forty million dollars. The probab-
ility however is that with such encour-
agement the production would at least
be doubled and would continue to in
crease until it would burst the govern
ment or the free silver party.
1.-THE government will not guarantee
ii. the silver dollar would not be worth
dollar and we would have deprecated
currency. After coming a few million
is it not reasonable to believe that the
,ilve: do liar would depreciate and
be worth only what the dollar of Mexico
and other free coinage countries is worth.
We think that it is more than probable
and that a few years of free silver adj
ministration would place us financially
upon level with Mexico, China and the
few South American countries that have
the silver standard

When we see a paper advocating the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
against its own convictions OF what is
right, simply because party to which it
belongs has declared in favor of it, we
are reminded of the remark OF Senator

protested against the free coinage bill OF
the last congress, he replied, you need
not argue the case with me. l don't
