Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1896-10-08

The present silver majority in the SEN
ate varies from three to seven, according
to the particular form in which the free
coinage proposition may be placed. With
the gold ranks remaining unbroken, an
accession to them of four silver votes
would change the attitude of the Senate.
1t is obvious that one such vote will be
gained, beyound peradventure, by the
election of gold Republican to succeed
Senator Cameron in Pennsylvania. All
indications now point to a Republican
plurality for Mr.. Mckinley in Indiana,
and to an additional vote for the honest
dollar in the Senate, in place of that now
cast for reputation by d. w. Voorhees,.
This would leave only two more votes to
be gained from number of States, sever
al of which sanguine Republicans claim
rs certain for Mckinley. Assuming that
Mr.. Mckinley will receive the great
popular majority in the country which
all good people hope for and which the
best judges now predict, it would seem
likely that the election would sweep
more than two Of these doubtful States
into the Republican column, and land
the next Senate safely ON the side of
common sense and honor.
But entirely apart from the votes in
the Senate which the election might di-
rectly change,it is apparent that sweep
ing popular condemnation of the free
silver fallacy would bring back to the
right side many Senators who have been
dragooned away from it, and would lead
some of these who have been wholly
committed TO silver in The past to see
light.
1t seems 10 me, therefore, that there is
good reason to hope that the next Con-
gress will be all right, both in the House
and in the Senate. Washington Cor

Honest Money in the Senate.

If Mr.. Mckinley is elected President
there is every reason to hop. that the
members Of the House of Representa-
tives who will enter Office at the same time
win be as strongly in favor of sound
money and as strongly opposed to the
free coinage of silver as are the members
Of the present Congress. There is gen.
era1 impression however, that by no pos
sibility can the silver majority in the
Senate be overthrown. This impression
il, think, incorrect.
The Senate whose term will end on
March 3, 1897, are, with their present
politics and respective States, as follows:
Jones, Arkansas, silver Democrat.
Jones, Nevada, silver Republican.
Kyle, South Dakota, Populist.
Call, Florida, silver Democrat
Mitchell, Oregon, silver Republican.
Morrill,, Vermont, gold Republican.
Palmer, Illinois, gold Democrat.
PETER, Kansas, Populist.
Perkins, California, silver Republican,
Platt, Connecticut, gold Republican.
Pritchard, North Carolina, silver Rep
ublican.
Pugh, Alabama, silver Democrat.
Squire, Washington, silver Republican.
Vest, Missouri, silver Democrat.
Villas, Wisconsin, gold Democrat.
Voorhees,, Indiana, silver Democrat.
Allison, Iowa, gold Republican.
Blackburn, Kentucky, silver Democrat.
Blanchard, Louisiana, siller Democrat.
Brice, Ohio, gold Democrat.
Cameron, Pennsylvania silver Republi-
can.
Dubois, Idaho, silver Republican.
Callinger, New Hampshire gold Rep
ublican.
Gibson, Maryland, gold Democrat.
Gordon, Georgia, silver Democrat.
Hansbrough, North Dakota silver
Republican.
Irby, South Carolina, silver Democrat.
There is not one vote in this list now
cast in favor of gold which could. by any
possibility, be changed to silver by the
next election, with the single remote ex-
ception of that of Illinois. But if Mr..
Mckinley gets majority of the electoral
votes, he is almost certain to receive the
vote Of Illinois, and the sound money
voice of the State will be heard as EN-.
phatically in the next Senate as in the
present one. Excluding from the list
the States whose votes for or against sill
yer in the next Senate are in all probality
likely to be unchanged. we have the fol-
lowing.

which their savings were invested. I'm
fact, this doubt was justified. The Gov
ernment was not able to maintain the
credit Of either the paper it had issued
or of the money it had guaranteed to up
hold at deprecated valuation that was
still above the market value of the bull
ion Of which it was made. The net re-
suit of these operations was a Govern
ment disgraced and discredited and a
country reduced to poverty and distress.
Multitudes of people were compelled to
resort to beggary as the only means of
keeping body and soul together.
At last on August 10. 1923, Sweden's
financial delirium come to an end. The
Government then decided to reduce the
legal tender value of each copper thaler
to its bullion value-one ore copper-al
though the Government stamp declared
it to be worth one silver thaler. At last
says DIR. Enander, Sweden had had
enough and more than enough of "cheap
money" The fuctuation in the value of
copper had enriched few spectators at
the expense of tens of thousands of their
poor compatriots. The Swedish histori-
an closes his instructive article with this
paragraph.
The Swedish farmer suffered as much
as any other citizen, and possibly more
for during the hard times he was COM
PEELED to sell his farm, he had received for
it in payment this calamity" copper
coin, and now he had nothing left except
the bits of deprecated copper known in
Swedish parlance as kopparslantar (pen-
nies). The farm laborer, who had denied
himself of every comfort in life and put
away his hard and scanty earnings in the
hope of being able some day to purchase
and own farm, was pracucaiiy swindled
out of the results of his frugality and
self denial.
