CLEVELAND'S ATTITUDE.

Press dispatch: 1t has been un-
derstood all along that Mr.. Cleve-
land was wavering between the
nomination of a gold democratic
ticket, the direct support of Nc
Kinley and policy of mastery
inactivity" Now no concealment
is made of Mr.. Cleveland's desire to
have such a course followed by the
gold democrats as will best contrib
ute to the success of Mckinley. At
first blush he was favorably disposed
towards the idea of new ticket as
a means of defeating Bryan with
out giving direct support to the
champion of high protection. But
it is understood that arguments
were presented that have convinced
him that the weight of his influence
should be thrown to the direct sup
port of Mckinley as the most effect
i've way of obtaining the object in
view. Among his friends whose
advice he is in the habit of taking
into account opinions have differed,
and it has been difficult to secure
harmony of action. The question
has been canvassed very thoroughly,
and meanwhile the advocates of
new ticket have been actively at
work preparing for a convention.
Carlisle is satisfied that identifca-
tion with for support of a boiling
democratic ticket will mean eternal
elimination from the democratic
party. Still it is probable that Mr.
Carlisle is willing to sacrifice him
self on the altar of his chief.
We thus see the party pertidity of
his mugwump beefness, who has
thrice been given the highest honor
in the gift of the Democratic party.
AS a traitor to his party and his
country, no condemnation and pun
ishment is too great for him,

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy was used with
perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiaric cholera. Here
tofore the best efforts of the most
skilled physicians have failed to
check it's ravages. This remedy,
however, has cured the most malig-
nant cases, both of children and
adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves it to be the
best medicine in the world for bowel
complaints. For sale by Smith Drug

bond, mortgage or note demand repay
ment in gold. Then, having the bond
they are using every means in their
power to make gold as dear as possible.
In this way they will get more wealth
for their bond and interest thereon.
They are also looking forward to a time
when the present extraordinary method
of maintaining the parity will fail and
they can force gold to a premium-the
premium of scarcity. Then, in the par
lance of the board of trade gamblers,
they will ''have a corner" and can
squeeze the shorts"
Q.-Is the gold dollar an honest dol
lar?
A.-That dollar alone is honest which
maintains the delicate relations be-
tween debtor and creditor without adj
vantage to either. AS the gold dollar
has doubled in purchasing power it is
enriching the creditor at the expense of
the wealth producer.
O,-How can we make all our money
honest? =
A.-By making one dollar just as good
as another dollar in law; fixing the unit
of value in both gold and silver dol
lar on the present coinage ratio of six
teen to one; making both full legal ten
der without exceptions or qualifica-
tions; using both for redemption pur-
poses without discrimination and Civ
ing each equal privileges at the mint;
also by making all credit money full
legal tender. Then our monetary sys-
tenn will be honest and our money equal
to the best money of the most civilized
nations. It will then need no bond sales
to maintain its parity or to keep one dol
lar just as good as another dollar

A mysterious vagary of a recent tor
nado and electric storm is reported
from Stoughton, Mich. A large barn
had been recently erected by Abner
Millikan, facing the main street, and he,
being an ardent republican, decorated
the newly painted sides with large lith-
ograph portraits of Mckinley and Ho-
bart, "the workman's friend" Dur
ing the progress of the storm lightning
played about the building repeatedly,
and during the second storm, which
came at 1880 a. m, binding flash of
lightning was seen to envelop the build
ing in Il sheet of fame. Millikan and his
hired man FASTENED to the building, ex-
pecting to find it afire in a dozen places,
but, to their astonishment, the bolt ap-
Feared to have done no harm. When
daylight came it was seen that the hth-

| 1893 the production was 43 per cent.
| gold to 81 per cent. silver. The above
| answers the first and second inter-
| rogatory. Now for the third: So far
as the records show, up to 1873, the de-
mand for both metals was absolutely
| unlimited-at an approximately fixed
price since 1904, viz, that set by the
French ratio of fifteen and one-half 10
one. AS a result, as shown on page 2Ss,
| same report, the ratio auctuated from
| 1857 to 1906, between IA 14-10O to and
| Is 79-100 to L. The fluctuations from
1906 to 1873 being between 16 11-100 to
1 and Is 35-1O0 to /, or less than our
sometime fluctuations in gold exchange.
Since 1873 this unlimited demand has
been taken from silver, by law, and left
on gold, with the result of tremen-
dous fall in the value of silver as ex-
pressed in gold. Mr.. Adams writes:
Silver, on the other hand. is subject to
violent, sudden and frequent fluctuations;
nations cannot establish a price for silver
bullion and be certain that 1t will remain
at that price, or practically so. And for
this reason debts, national and private,
bonds and all future payments are made
to read payable in gold"
Here are two mistaken impressions
entertained by him. The Royal commits
sion of Great Britain in 1878 unanimous
ly signed a report agreeing that it was
the French ratio which gave the stabiI-
ity to both metals held by them during
the fabulous production of gold in the
sos and the immense silver demand of
India in the SOS. Further. not single
national bond of the United States was
ever made payable in gold" Private
debts payable in gold" were never ar-
thorized by law until 1879. The outrage
of allowing an individual to avoid the
legal tender laws of this nation will be
forbidden in 1897.
Realizing how erroneous his premises
are, I trust Mr.. Adams will doubt the
accuracy of his predictions. He says he

Free Coinage Would Make Demand for
Many Additional Days Labor.
Maj. Mckinley in his formal letter ac-
cepting the republican nomination for
president declared that the free coin
age of silver would mot make farming
less laborious or more profitable. It
would not start factory or make de-
mand for an additional days labor"
If free coinage will mot start fac
tory or make demand for an addition
al days labor" then what becomes of
the stereotyped argument that the pro-
duction of silver will be enormously in
creased and the country flooded with
it? How can the production be largely
increased without giving employment
to more men in the m:nes2 How can
more men find work in the mines with
out adding to the working force of the
reduction mills? How car more mines
resume operations and more mills start
without creating a demand for more
food, clothing. machinery and supplies
of every kind? How can all of these
things occur without eastern farms and
factories getting some of the benefits?
So. if we look at it simply as a matter
of silver mining, the statement is entire

HONEST MONEY

Catechism for ssOar Friends, the
Enemy" to Read and Ponder over.
Q--Is our present monetary system
honest" as claimed by its champions?
Att is not. In an honest monetary
system one dollar should be just as good
as another dollar in law, so that the
creditor class cannot take advantage of
the wealth producers, who must ulti-
mately pay all debts.
ON what way is our present money
dishonest?
A.-The silver dollar is not es good
as q gold dollar because the latter is
the unit of value, is full legal tender
with the privilege of free coinage at the
mints. while the former is demonetized,
is discredited as redemption money, is
not full legal tender. and the metal out
Of which it is made is treated as Gem
modify by the government.
Q.-What is the limitation to the
legal tender of silver?
Att is full legal tender for anv
amount-'except when otherwise ex-
pressly stipulated by contract"
OILS one paper or credit dollar as
good as another?
A.-No; our paper money IS not hon
est. The greenback comes nearer being
an honest dollar, because it is full legal
tender except for interest on the public
debt and custom dues. The legal tender
of the silver certificate or treasury note
may be abrogated by private contract,
and the national bank note is not legal
tender for any amount.
Q.-What is the effect of the discrimi-
nation in law?
A.-The gold and greenbacks have
been taken out of circulation by the
banks because they are in law the bet
ter money, while the farmer anil other
producers and wage-earners are paid
in silver, silver certificates and bank
notes.
Q.-How under this system are the
money changers taking advantage of
the wealth producers?
A.-They loan silver and its repre-

Views of . Southern Farmer on the III
nancial Problem.
Doubt leads TO inquiry. Inquiry leads
to knowledge. knowledge shows the
truth. Truth makes "silyerites."
Mr.. Francis Adams recently wrote:
Tt is proposed by them that the minis OF
the United States be opened to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio OF
sixteen to one-sixteen grains of silver to
one of gold. This, they claim, viii estab-
lfsh a parity between the two metals-the
only object the silyerites claim they have
In view.
t.Silyerites' claim more than this.
They claim that the restoration to sill
yer of it's original money function viii
lift from the world a burden of over
81 900, 900 600 of debt placed solely there
through its decentralization; that the
vital force thus released can be much
more benefcently employed, while at
the same time an everlasting stop will
be put TO the perversion of the term
''sound money" Mr.. Adams continues:
Let US see if this one pin to which they
hang their claim viii hold. To establish
a ratio between any two commodities, be
they gold and silver, potatoes and peat, silk
and calico, it is necessary, in order to as
be settled: How do the two articles COM
pare as regards production? Is there as
much of the one as of the other? What
is the demand for the two. equal or I'M
equal? Upon these points will depend the
mercantile value for no man is so ignorant,
no party so perfidious as to gainsay that
the law of product and demand regulates
price.
In answer to the questions, let me
say: The report of the director of the
mint for 1894 shows, on pages S04-305,
that the ratio of production of the two
metals varies greatly, sometimes COIN
ing value 81 per cent. gold, 80 per cent.
silver, sometimes IS per cent. gold and
% per cent. silver; sometimes these
ratios are reversed, but during the four
and quarter centuries since the dis
covery of America the total production
has been 46 per cent. gold and 81 per
| cent. silver, showing that sixteen to one
is pretty mean. Gods ratio. For the year

RESTORE THE DEMAND.

The Eject Legislation Would Have Oh
the Price of silver.
Why has silver deprecated to so
cents in the doIiar?" and low can the
law restore it to 100-cen: dolfar?"
A witty Jew once said in my presence
that Moses got up the first corner on
beef of which history gives an account:
HE bought up oil the beef cattle and
then passed law forbidding the people
to use swine's flesh, and made millions
out of the rise of beef" Even a ten
year-old boy ought to see that under
such a law beef would go up and bacon
go down. Not that the law directly
fixes the value OF either, but by destroy
ing the demand for one and increasing
the demand for the other. While law
cannot fix values it can create or de-
stroy either demand or supply.
For untold ages prior to 1873 all the
great commercial nations used two met
ais as redemption money Except
England for short time). One was
gold Gs1d one was silver. In 1873 and
1874 the great nations destroyed silver
as a redemption money. Thus was de-
stroyed the almost unlimited demand
for silver for this purpose, and in
creasing the demand for gold. OF
course and inevitably, under the law of
demand and supply, silver went down
and gold went up, and now gold stand
ard men take advantage of this neces-
sary result of their own wrong to dis
credit silver. And during all the ages
that both metals were used as redemp-
ton or real money their relative values,
no matter what their relative supplies,
did not vary more than three points,
while during the % years since the de-
mand for silver was cut down their
ratio has changed from 15h to i to 81
to /.
All that is necessary to restore their
ancient ratio is to restore the ancient
demand for silver as redemption money.
