sEcTloNALlsM AND FREE SILVER.

Un-American Attempts to Prejudice the
South and West Against the. North and
East.
The advocates of the silver standard
find their strongest support in the
southern and western states, and their
chief arguments are appeals to the peo-
pie Of those sections to vote for fires
coinage because it is not wanted by the
north and east The attempt to obscure
the real issue Of silver monometallism
versus our present system, in which gold
and silver are both used as money in al
most equal amounts, by stirring up Sec
tional hate and prejudice, has been par.
TALLY successful, SO that large numbers
Of the citizens Of the south and west
have come to look on the people Of the
north and east as enemies and Cypress
ors.
The existence of this hostile sentiment
toward the longer settled and richer
sections of the country is both unreason-
able and dangerous. Unreasonable, be-
cause it is based ON the false assertion
that our financial system favors the
north and east, while, as every sensible
man knows, the currency laws are ex-
actly the same for every state and terri
tory in the Union. 1t is true that there
is not so much wealth in the south and
west as in the other states, but this is
because the north and east are older
and industries of all kinds have been
established far lenger than in the states
which are mainly devoted to farming
and cotton growing. In recent years q
great change is taking place, new cotton
and wooden factories, iron furnaces and
steel mills, and various other industries
are rapidly being built, and if this de-
velopment of the vast national resources
of the south and west is allowed to go
on unhindered by Populist and silverite
attacks on capital the northeast will be
surpassed in the number and magnitude
of its manufacturing enterprises.
To carry on this establishment of new
industries great amounts Of capital are
necessary. And here lies the chief dan
ger OF the cheap money sectonallsm.
By representing the people of the south
and west as dishonest repudiationists,
who are anxious to cheat their creditors
out of one-half Of their just dues, the
agitators for a debased currency will
check the flow of surplus capital from
the older states to the sections where ii
is most needed. This will increase the
poverty of the men who now complain
that they are poor, and will tend to
magnify their hatred and jealousy Of
the people of the north and east. Then
instead Of harmonious union we shall
have continual strife and discord, to the
mutual loss of all parts of the country.
This is the direction in which the sill
verites are hurrying. To effectually kill
out this unnational and anti American
sentiment the free coinage agitation
must be routed in November.
