A Frank British Statement.


I am far from denying that if the
italian Government decides to carry
into effect NJ. Luzzatti's threat of buy
ing gold at all hazards, and if like
course be taken by the United States
and France, not to speak of Germany,
then there might be q considerable dis
turbance Of values for a time. But is
it likely that such proceedings will be
taken by rational statesmen and ration
al parliaments? 1t is really too absurd
to suppose that any country will insist
Upon Immediately having a gold cur
Iency at any cost, regardless of the
fact that it will thereby injure its own
trade and commerce in the getting.
IS The largest stock of gold in
the world is to be found in England,
and many of the gold-producing dis
;1ictS are to be found in the English
colonies OF dependencies. If these for
c:gn nations insist upon having gold
currencies, they must pay our price for
gold, and they must, in raising the
Price, benefit us and our colonies, com

Roguish Lii Hung Chang.

When John w. Foster and Mrs. Foster
were first in China, they were handsome
ly entertained by Ii Hung Chang. At
the first opportunity he asked Mrs. Eos
ter if her husband was not a very great
man and a very rich man in his own
country Mrs. Foster replied that Mr..
Foster had been minister to Spain, min
lister to Mexico, minister to Russia, a
special envoy to Spain, and, finally, sec
retarv of state-neXt in the cabinet TO the
President himself. But Mr.. Foster is
not wealthy. In fact, he is compara-
lively poor man. Mrs. Foster frankly
explained. Ii shook his head. 'You say
Mr.. Foster has been minister to Mexico.
to Spain, a special envoy to Spain, and
secretary of state?' Yes" ''And he is
still poor?" Eyes, comparatively speak

ter in the eye for a moment, and then
placing his two hands over his nose and
one eye, he winked roguishly with the
other optic and Uttered.

Mexico Prosnered.

The friends of Mexico have based
great hopes upon the depreciation Of
silver as a means of encouraging agri-
culture and furthering the export Of
produce. These expectations were real
lied only to a moderate extent; for, ex
Guiding precious metals, the exports
rose from $3O,949000 in 1928 to $32.-
$4,000 in 1S93-94 and $3S, $4,000 in
1S94-95, or by $7,37O,00O equal to about
f75O,O0O) in two years. 1t is, on the
other hand, evident that the mining
industry has become accustomed to
the present standard value of the white
metal. The exports of precious metals
principally silver, which had fallen
from $56, 100000 in 1890-93 to $46,500,-
600 in the following year, rose again IN
1S94-95 to 52,50O000, and are certain
to have attained still higher figure
in 1S95-96-London Financial News.

The Eifty-Cent Dollar.

''The value Of money is not in its
substance, but in legal force with
which substance is armed by positive
aw."-Stecks AXioms, No. IA.
There is no such thing as a 50-cent
dollar. The only element lacking in
silver to-day is that it is not received
at the mints for coinage. Parity will
be maintained by exact quality before
the law. Silver dollars are the equal
of gold dollars. Open the minis for the
free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver and then the silver in
the dollar is just as good as the gold
contained in the gold dollar. By law
we fix the coinage of gold dollars on q
basis of $20.67 per ounce. Now, let the
United States restore the free coinage
and fix the value OF silver at $1.29 per
ounce, and all this wild talk about the
50-cent dollar will forever cease.

tender. Previous to 1873, with our
legal and normal increase Of gold and
silver, our circulation was in some de-

Bland on the Silver Issue.


Let us examine into the question.
After all, what is fiat money? Is there
any money in this country that is not
fiat money? People by common consent
may accept bank note or other forms
Of currency, but such currency is not
money in any true sense. There is not
a dollar in existence in the United
States of real money that is not fiat
money. All the gold of the world would
not pay a single debt but for the fiat Of
the Federal Government, nor would
all the silver Of the world pay dollar
Of debt except by the fiat Of our Gov
eminent. This is made too plain for ar
gument.
When we shall have broken this mon
ey trust with silver in competition
with gold we shall have struck dead
Iy blow to all the trusts and combines
that are now sucking the life blood Of
the people.
There is a safe way under our Constr
tuition of breaking up the gold trust,
and that is to restore bimetallism,
bringing silver in competition with
gold as money.

Why Silver Was Dropped.

Only little over eight million Of
silver dollars was coined prior to 1878,
but during the greater part Of that
time the Spanish milled dollar was a
legal tender and circulating plentiful
ly in the United States. In 1870, after
the discovery of gold in California, the
United States commenced the coinage
of gold dollars until in 1878 they
amounted to over seventeen millions
of dollars, and their coinage ceased in
1889 The people did not like the little
dollars of gold and they were with
drawn from circulation. The two
years previous to 1873 there were 81
222, 210 silver dollars coined, or more
than one-fourth as much as in all the
years from 1893, a period of eighty
years The sudden revival Of the coin
age of silver dollars is what alarmed
the goldbugS and was the cause of the
surreptitious dropping Of the silver dol
lar from the coinage laws Of the Uni
ted es-Nonconformist.

Did Mr.. Sherman Know?

In refutation of Senator Sherman 5
declaration that everybody in the Sen
at. and lower house of Congress knew
the silver dollar had been demonetized,
and voted for it willingly, the follow
ing from Senator Conkling is cited:
"Will the Senator (Bogy) allow me to
ask him or any other Senator ques-
ton? Is it true that there is now no
longer an American silver dollar? Is
there now no other silver coin than the
half-dollar, the quarter and the dime
which can be used as legal tender?"-

Great Heads They Have.

Up to 1873 there had been $3,14S,-
1890 in half-dimes and $1,260, 4S7 so
in three-cent pieces coined and more
coined after that year. Since then we
have coined over SIS, 1884, 1920 in five
cent nickel pieces, each Of which is
not worth iutrinsically one-twentieth
part of their face value. They are
fiat, and according to the alleged sound
money mems theory dishonest and
unsound. 1t is the theory of the gold
bugs that dishonesty in little things
don't count, even if collectively they
run into the millions. Great heads
thee intrinsic value fellows carry.
