just as good as gold, and has been
since the first day of January, 1879.
A dollar in paper today will buy
twenty-three and 22-100 grains of
pure gold, which is represented in a
gold dollar and no more, but it will
buy nearly double the amount of sill
yer which is represented in a silver
dollar. And when | contemplate
the possibility of the United States
adopting the free coinage of silver,
16 to L, l may well stop and con
slider its effect upon the farmers of
these western prairies and the labor
ing men of this nation, upon whose
prosperity and happiness our own
depends. | believe, nay, | know
that a vote for the free coinage of
silver at 16 to l is a vote not only
for a continuation of the present
depression and hard times, but a vote
for harder times and far lower prices
than have yet prevailed. Under the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at l6 to / over $600,000,00 of gold
now a part of our circulating medium
would leave our country, we would
be upon a silver basis, and the pur-
chasing power of a dollar would be
the commercial value of the bullion
in it, and as a natural consequence
our circulation would shrink ne-half.
This interference with our monetary
system means the withdrawal of I'M
told millions of money invested in
TINS country, and it means lower
prices for American agricultural pro-
ducts and bankruptcy for those en-
gagged in producing them.
Farmers of Day county, these are
the questions which you and l must
determine, and | would say to you:
Do not vote the Republican ticket
next November because / say SO,
neither vote the Populist ticket be-
cause some advocate of that party
says so, but vote whichever way you
may decide only after you have taken
up these questions and studied them
in an unbiased and unpreiudiced
light. For myself, | have done so,
and hereafter | am a Republican.
Respectfully submitted,
