Or. John Clark Ridpath, the noted
historian and. literary character of this
country, is writing some t1nanswerable
facts about the reform movement. He
has been nominated for congress by the
Democrats of Indiana and will be en-
Idorsed by all the bimetallists of the dis
tr,ct and this means his election. The
doctor, was interviewed on the financial
question and the following is what he said s
!. According to my way Of thinking
our government has been steadily drifting
away from the people and getting into
the power of special interests. The cir
Gle of government has narrowed and mar
rowed, till it appears to me the height
of absurdity to call it any longer "a gov
eminent Of the people, I want to see
this process completely reversed.
'.Among the methods as it seems to
me by which the government is to
be recovered by the people is. first of all,
as the matter now stands, the restoration
of our currency. We want our curren-
cy system put back precisely where it
was under the statutes and constitution
for the first eighty one years of our ex1s-
tence as a nation. Our statutory bimet-
allie system of currency was taken from
us In 1873 by process which I do not
care to characterize in fitting terms. Now
we propose to have it back again.
"Not single dictionary or encyclo-
pedia in the English language before the
year 1878 even defined a dollar in any
terms other than &c silver, In that year
the administrators of the estate of Noah |
Webster, deceased, cut the plates Of our
LEXICON and inserted new de-
finition that had become necessary in
order to throw a penumbra Of; ratlonality |

s'The way to ebviate the farther disas-
trous effects Of this international gold
conspiracy is to stop 1t. We want the

Bimetallisnl means the option of the
debtor TO pay in either Of two statutory
coins, according 10 his own ceaven1epce
and according to the contract. This OPP
tion freely granted, the commercial par
ity of the two money metals. Will be
speedily reached, nor can such parity ev-
er be seriously disturbed agaia as long
as the unimpeded option of the debtor
to pay in one metal or the other shall be
conceded by law and the terms of the
contract. -s.s. H.. Il Z
s4What do we propose to accomplish
by free coinage? We propose to do just
this thing-viz: To break the corner on
gold, and reduce the exaggerated pur-
chasing power Of that metal to its nor
NAL standard. Be assured there will be
no talk of a 50-cent dollar when the
commercial parity of the two money
metals shall be reached. Every well-in-
formed person mist know that the pres
ent disparity of the two uncoined metals
is but the index of the extent to which
gold has been buMed In the markets Of
the world. It is not an index to the ex-
tent to which raw silver has declined in
It's purchasing power IN the markets Of
the world for raw silver has not declined

with the average OF other commodities
