SILVER

The enemies of bimetallism have
much to say Of the increased produc-
ton Of silver, taking the mint statistics
Of given Years as evidences Of the fact.
They say nothing of the increased pro-
duction of gold: but the fact is that
the gold production during the last ten
Years exceeds that of silver. But
neither fact is of any consequence in
the discussion. The supply of the
precious metals differs from the supply
of farm products and manufactured
goods. Wheat and corn are consumed.
cotton and wooden goods are made into
clothing and worm out; every commod
ity is perishable but the precious met
ais. These have been accommodating
during all the ages of the worlds his
tory, and they are not consumed OF de-
stroved. The increase or decrease Of
no such effect upon the supply as docs
Il short crop or an overproduction of
the things which we consume from year
to year. The worlds total supply of
the two metals is not increasing as rap
lilly as the demand for it, based upon
the increase Of population and business
of the civilized nations.
The money power is always strug-
Cling to make money dear 10y decreas-
ing the quantity. In the titties it want
ed to demonetize gold because of the
increased production in California and
Australia. But England, not given to
change, adhered to the gold standard,
believing that gold production would
not be permanently increased. For
nearly thirty years this same Power
has struggled to abolish the use of sill
yer as money, and uses the same ary''-
ments that were formerly used for tn
decentralization of gold.
All the great authorities on the
science of money have maintained that
the two metals together give Il more
stable measure of value than either one
of them alone. When one falls short
the other usually increases. The
worlds experience is that when any
great nation keeps its minis
open to the free and unlimited coinage
Of both metals on equal terms at Il Civ
Ell ratio. neither the action of other ma
tons nor the variations between the
productions Of the two metals
will seriously affect that ratio. France
maintained the parity between silver
and gold at II ratio Of l59 to l for sew
anty years-from 1903 until 1873.
This was not affected by the adoption
Of the silver standard in all the Ger
man States and in Austria in 1851, nor
by the adhesion of Great Britain to the
gold standard. adopted bv her in 1916.

bring every democratic vote to It's sup
port. Why is it that every moneyed
interest. whether individual or corpo-
rate. is opposed to the election OF our
candidates! When did these interests
take into account the welfare or adj
vancemcnt of the plain. common peo-
pie. the lahoring people: The answer
is a plain one il IS from 4 purely sell
fish motive. because they see in the
coinage OF both gold and silver. and
the recognition Of both upon a par. a.
the money OF the country. that their
opportunity for increasing the amount
of their nn"arncd Increment in the i'll
vcstmrnt of their money. will be lessen
ed. and :he labor. and the result OF the
labor. OF the MASSES of the people will
become more valuable. As it now i.
because practically we are upon a gold
basis, everything is increased by the
value OF gold, everything is made sub
servient to that value. There is but
One kind OF money. and that becoming
Scarcer all the time. and from its search
ty becoming higher in the scale of price.
Is it any wonder then that what we
bnv this money with Il labor and the
result O t'our labor should constantly
sink in value! This is the inevitable
and logical outcome OF such Il state of
things. This is exactly why we are
suffering to-day from a depression of
business,t this is why the agricultural in
terests is i'll such Il state OF distress.
" i'll there be any relief in the election
of the candidates of our faith. this is
the question: Will the principles OF
the platform. embodied into law. work
the desired and hoped for change! We
believe both questions can he answered
i'll the affirmative. But what if the
republicans succeed! There can he no
reilet. there can he no change. because
the administration OF til" government
will 90 along the Very same lines. that
past experience has taught, has brought
about the condition Of things under
which we o suffer. Mckinley and
his platform stand for Il high protec-
tive policy. This is the foundation
upon which the republican policy
stands. 1t has been tried. In fact the
present conditions are the outcome OF
that policy. because lower prices fol
farm products set in under the highest
tariff that this country has ever known.
Experience then teaches us that this
cannot bring the relief that is desired.
1t is charged against Us that our stand
for free silver is claimed to be the pan
acea for all the ills of the present. it
can be said with the same truth. and
with far greater justice, that the one
cure all Of the republicans is a high
tariff. The democratic party then is
in favor of the restoration of silver as
II Of the coins Of the country. that it
shall be used as money. as freely now
as it has always been used; hat the peo-
pie are entitled to this money, recog-
nized from the beginning ofournation-
atty rs money, and, in its restoration to
its time honored place. is the only pro
lection to the interests of the wage
earners and the producers ofthe wealth
Of the land.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsnINGToS, d. c., September, 2Sth.
Mr.. EDlroR:-.A straight bluff is
what the announcement that the Nc
kinlcyites had fused with the cold
democrats for the purpose of making
Il raid upon the South is regarded to
be, and it is not receiving the serious
attention OF anybody interested in the
management of tn" campaign Of Mr..
Bryan. 1t is not believed that the gold
democrats can poll enough votes in
any South IN state to atil CT the result.
AID it has been known from the first
that the entire movement was solely
in the interest of Mckinley; therefore
the announcement that fusion between
the republicans and the gold democrats
in some of the Southern states had
been agreed upon has not caused Il rip
pie i'll Bryan ranks. 1t is confidently
expected that the South will again be
solid this year. III, re was some doubt
about Kentucky and MARYLAND Il short
time ago, but the fusion between the
democrats and populists in Kentucky
is regarded rs having made that state
sure for Bryan, and the assurances of
Senator Gorman that Maryland will
90 democratic have removed all fears
for that state. If the Mckinlevitcs
wish to spend some of IIanna's cnor-
nous campaign tund in the south, they
will have no difficulty in finding men
who will exchange the most giittering
promise f,ri+,ru NJ. Btyal has IN r.
chanct to get electoral votes in New
England than Mckinley has to get
them in the South.
Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
railroads to lessen the attendance at
the Convention of Democratic Clubs
to be held at st. Louis, by refusing to
give a lower rate for tickets than a one
and One-third fare fer the round trip.
the convention promises to be a l,ig
success. Among those who will adj
dress the convention are Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Sewall and Vice President Steven
son. That the railroads intended to
discriminate against the democrats is
shown by their having sold round trip
tickets to all the other National Con-
ventionS for one fare.
Some amusement has been causcdi in
political circles by the report that
President Cleveland had been informed
that Gen. FitZ Lee would be in great
danger from the yellow fever if he re-
manned i'll Cuba during the NEXT five
or six weeks. Everybody understands
that if Mr.. Cleveland has had any such
information it was given him by the
gold democrats of Virginia who hope
to he able to stem the Bryan and free
tide which is sweeping over that
10y the influence which might be
exercised by the personal presence on
the stump against Bryan of Fitz Lee.
1t is we'll known that Fit Lee would
much rather face the danger of yellow
in Cuba. than to take any part

in Virginia, and interest is eX-
pressed rs to how he would receive Il
hint from President Cleveland that he

THE NATIONAL Low Err.


Governor Lowndes has appointed
Mr.. Henery Holzapttl. Jr., of llagerS-
town. delegate to represent Maryland
in the convention ut Asheville. y. e..
October 81. which has been called for
the purpose of petitioning Congress to
designate a irrational flower" to he the
emblem of the United States. W bile
it must be admitted that this will be 4
very difficult job for Congress to per
form satisfactorily, iii view OF the
predictions of the people OF the vari-
Gus section Of the Union for the flowers
that grow among them. the flower
question is one that cNcites general
interest. The question of Il national
flower has been freely debated in the
newspapers. Every section stands up
for its particular flower. The daiSes
and the v~iolets. the gOldenrod and the
roses. the suntiower and cosmos. the
primrose. the bluehellS. the prairie
flowers. the thistle. the ragged robin
OF kaiser bloom. and nearly every other
kind of bloom have their advocates.
Middle States flowers. Southern,
Western. Eastern. Northern all have
their champions. 1t would seem there
fore. that there would he as much
difficulty in settling on one flower that
would be generally acceptable as on the
tariffrate. But at the same time the dis
cussion of flowers by Congress would
be q change and Il relief and could do
no harm.
Governor Lowndes. who nearly
always wears 4 red hl-ssom on the
of lapel of his coat and is Il lover OF
flowers. is taking much interest in the
subject. There are 4 great many other
pepole in the State. the ladies par
ticuiarly. who have given attention to
the matter and would no doubt be
ready to vote on the subject if they
had the chance to do so. 1t is not
stated what particular flower Mr..
liolzapfel, the delegate appointed to
Asheville, %tavors, though it is known
that he has written a number of articles
on the subject of a national flower.
He is Il skilled horticulturist and was
chief of the bureau of awards on horti-
culture at the Worlds Fair. Chicago.
His alternate for the Asheville con
vention is Mr.. Howard Shrivcr and
the Governor says he will select Il lady
who is also to be a delegate to the
convention from the city Of Baltimore.

to compel railroads. engaged in inter
