THE SUPREME LAW.



1t was violated when silver Was De-
monctized, says an Old Republican.
Tho constitution Of the United States,
the supreme law of the land, is para
mount to any act Of congress and above
the edict Of any political party and do
mands tho supreme aud paramount al
lcgiancc of every American citizen.
The constitution declares that gold
and silver, not gold alone, nor silver
alone, nor gold or silver, but gold and
tilvcr, shall be legal tender in pay
mUnt of all debts.
BY the act of 1899 the gold dollar
was decroed by "fiat" of congress to
contain "a, grains of pure gold and
the silver dollar Blk grains of puro
silver, and both were declared to DO
worth 100 cents on tho dollar for paying
debts.
The "a. grains of pure gold and 371 Il
grains Of pure silver were only dollars
by "fiat'' of law. No money of either
gold or silver or paper money can be
made into money except by tho fiat"
of law.
The free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer the same rs gold would not alone
establish bimotallism i'll this country.
Bimotallism means the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of both metals upon u ratio
fixed by law and also the giving by
law to the coins thus coined the same
debt paying power in this country and
for this country. If all the silver bullion
in the United States was coined into
dollars, and if such silver dollars were
not redemption moncy-were not de-
clarcd by law a legal tender for all
debts-thcy would not be constitutional
money and would not constitute bimot-
allism. And the samo is truo as to gold
dollars Neither would be honest mon
ey" under our constitution.
Congress has no constitutional power
to demonetizo either gold or silver.
Congress has no constitutional authority
to dcmonctize one any more than the
other of the two coins. If it can demon
etizo one, it can demonotize the other,
and, if either, can demonetizc both. 1t
is usurpation of power, unconstitu-
tional and void, TO dcmonetizo either,
am in favor of placing silver back
whcro it was when we had bimetallism
for so years, before it was demonotizcd
in 1878. The political party whose pres
idcntinl candidates have supported and
whose principles l have cspoused for 40
years has said "No" to that truly Amer
lean principle. The people want po-
litical party and congress Of the
United States that will think less Of
"John Bull'' and moro of "Brothcr
Jonathan" less Of Lone Jack" and
more of tho stars and stripes, less of
Europe and moro Of America, less of
Wall street and moro Of the common
people, less of English "tars" and
moro Of tho American "stars. Cum

FOREIGN INVESTORS.
Let Them Unload American Securities u

Let Them Unload American Securities Il
They Wish-Thclr Heal Reason Therefor.
A labored financial editorial In late
number Of tho London Times reads as
though it were written for one Of the
New York papers. Wo recognize the
same line Of argument directed against
FREQ coinage, coupled with great deal
of gratuitous advice to the American
people as 20 the course they should
adopt if they want to bo in harmony
with the money center Of the world.
We do not iccollect any time when the
advice given by the London Times was
that which the United States would be
wise to adopt. 1t speaks by the card for
the desires of Lombard street, and we
need not say that the policy of Lombard
street is devised for the benefit of Lom-
bard street and not for the benefit of
the American producer. The Times
gravcly states that the "silver hcrcsy"
in this country will lead and has led to
the selling by British investors of large
quantities Of American securities. Very
we'll. Let them unload if they wish to.
The presumption is that the securities
were purchased in tho first place because
Of their intrinsic value, and they will
not lose any Of it whether they are fig
urcd in 100 cent dollars Or i'll 200 cent
dollars If the British want TO throw
away their good securities, no one will
be hurt hut themselves, and it will be a
happy day for this country when it does
not owe a cent abroad. II every Ameri-
can security held abroad is transferred
to the hands Of Americans at half or
three-quaTtcrs its value, this country
will be the gamer by the exchange, and
the only losers on this side of the water
will be tho New York brokers and bank
ers who make business Of selling stocks
and bonds on the other side.
But tho reason given by the interested
gold men is not the true one. Under the
gold standard there will be further de-
cline in all kinds Of American property.
Gold prices Of everything will continue
to 30 down. British investors know
this, and the reason they are selling is
to avoid making loss. If they realize
cash for their holdings now, they expect
TO be aUlo TO Icpurchuse real estate,
stocks, bonds and securities generally at
some timo in the future and ut consid-
orably less than they are now selling
for. On continuously falling market
it is TO their advantage to sell, just Gs ii
Is to their advantage and to the advan-
tage of capitalists in this country to
avoid putting money into any kind OF
property. That process of holding on to
money has the effect Of accelcrating the
decline Of prices When mono will buy,
prices will necessarily fall Money Is
being boarded because it is the only
kind of property that is appreciating in
value. Denver News.
