Honest Gen. jackson.

In Gen. Jackson's time man who had
16 ounces of silver could sell them in
the market for one ounce of gold, and
SO Gen. Jackson, who was a square
dealing man, approved the coinage ratio,
putting 16 times as much silver into a
coined silver dollar as was required of
gold for gold dollar. But the large
quantities of silver produced of late
years and the improved and cheapened
process of mining it and extracting the
pure metal from the ore have SO reduced
it's value that it now requires 80 ounces
of silver to buy an ounce of gold. If
Gen. Jackson were alive, he would not
be caught in the company of the cheap
money advocates who wish to put so
cents worth of silver into dollar and
pay 100 cents of debt with it. He adj
justed his ratio to intrinsic value, so
that all the dollars in the hands of the
people should be real dollars, worth as
much after they were melted by fire as
they were before melting. -Philadel'

Have They Cornered the Copper Cent

A majority of the letters from the
working men inyoure columns claim that
gold has appreciated in value since 1873
and that this appreciation has. been
caused oy the wicked bankers who have
cornered all the gold. Has anyone sug-
gested that these wicked bankers have
cornered all the cents? In 1873 it re-
quired 1919 cents to purchase only one
ounce OF silver. To-day it requires only
6S cents to purchase this same one
ounce of silver. In 1879 it required 125
cents to purchase one bushel of wheat
To-day GO cents will purchase one bush
ell of wheat And yet 100 cents will pur-
chase the same amount of gold to-day as
it could in 1873. Clearly, then, it is
this bad little copper cent that has
caused all our hard times and not the
gold. Let us compel all of our creditors
to accept five mills instead of ten for
one cent.-Common Sense, in N. Y

MONEY AND CREDITORS.
When the Measure of Value Varies, the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.

When the Measure of Value Varies, the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made political issue appeals more
strongly to our seltishness than the
anonty question. The value of all the
aIo prriy We possess is expressed in the
tern.s vi money, and not our property
only but our labor.
A horse, II COW, q corner lot, share
of stock, q bond or note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value BY
money. They are worth SO much SO
OF our labor, whether in the profess
sions, the skillful trades or in more
manual employments. We are worth so
much AN hour or a day or week by the
services we are able to render, and we
are paid accordingly. The result is, if
we are not fools, that we want the best
money that circulates in exchange for
our services or our property, and the
less our income the more we want the
best.
The contention, therefore, seems I'M
answerable that a government or a
community should establish the high
est standard of money whereby to meas
ure those exchanges of labor and prop
erty which constitute the business of
the world. If this is not done and the
measure of value becomes variable, who
suffers? The men who have large re-
cources behind them or the men who
have nothing but their hands and
brains? Most assuredly the latter. A.
well-known banker of this town has
often been heard TO say that the money
standard did not and could not affect
him, for he could make money whether
we were on gold or silver basis. So
he could, and so can any capitalist. 1t
is the man who depends upon his labor
that would suffer by deprecated cur
rency.
1t is the creditor class of the COM
munity, therefore, which is most inter
ested in preserving the stability of the
currency and its high value. But OF
whom is the creditor class composed?
Manifestly of those to whom something
IL due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the lnboring people, the men at the
desk, at the counter, at the forge at
the bench and at the pillow. The toiler
who patiently welds the shovel and
the pick when nightfall comes is cred
flor, and he is entitled to be paid for
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round of employment where men
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that a
large proportion of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
bread, laying by perhaps trifte from
week to week toward q rainy day, de
posting it in savings bank-tha'
these should be led away by the cry fol
cheap money? What do they want with

What is money? Something made out

Is there any limit to the amount Of

Only the capacity of the printing
presses of the country.
What kind of money is the best?
That which has the least value.
What does "cheap money" mean?
Money that will buy very little wealth.
Why are some people poor? Because
the money they get in exchange for
their products or their labor will buy a
large amoMat of goods.
How can the poor all be made rich?
BY stamping so cents worth of silver

purchasing power of money.
What is .a'capitalist? A wicked sinner
who has worked hard and saved up a
little property.
What is patriot? A man who covets
his neighbours property and wants to
get hold of it by law.

That creditors are to be cheated out of
one-half of their property whenever the
debtors control congress.
Why not benefit debtors still more by
repudiating all the claims of creditors?
That will come later. The public must

What is creditor? A fiend in human
shape who loaned 100 centdollars and

How will free silver help the farm

Silver Patriots in 1873.

The advocates of the cheap silver
standard pretend that the white metal
is patriotic" while gold is disloyal.
One-half of the arguments for 5o-cent
dollars consists of appeals to- patriotism
for votes i'm favor of the american
money" and against the traitor gold
of England.
In the happy days before 1873 the
bullion value of the metal in silver
dollar was worth on an average about
$1.O3. Did the noble-hearted, patriotic
silver miners rush to pour their prod
ucts into our minis, so that the coun-
try would have plenty of money? Not
by a great deal. They were the kind
of patriots who shipped their silver off
to France as fast as they could send it
in order to get little higher price for
it. They knew at that time metallic
money was scarce in the United States,
but they didn't care for that. They
wanted the highest price for silver bull
lion, and they therefore sold it in the
dearest market. Noobdy blames them
for doing SO. But now that the price
abroad has gone down, and they want
Uncle Sam to give them more for theil
bullion than its market value, they talk
of patriotism" and pretend that they
wish to get their silver made into dol
lars in order to benefit the country
Nice kind of patriots they are-men who
will send their silver away when 1t is
badly needed and try to unload it or
the government when it is cheap ant
| plentiful!

The Issue in Pure silver.

Stop bothering your head about the
figures sixteen to one, leave the gold
standard out of the question, for there
is no direct issue upon it, and consider
the real issue, silver. A lump Of sill
yer of certain size, 3711. grains in
weight, is to-day worth SO cents. The
Bryan proposition is that the govern
ment shall stamp it a dollar. That
would be fat money making of the same
sort as the governments setting its
printing presses to work and turning
out without limit dollars of paper. 1t
is fiat dishonesty. 1t is pregnant with
trouble for every man, laborer or CAPT
talist, who lives by industry, and il

Silver in Mexico.

S. NJ. Inman, leading cotton
man Of the south, lately returned from
Mexico, where he sojourned for a
month, and he comes a convert to
free silver. Speaking of the condi-
tons there he said today;
81 find that Mexico has prospered
during the last two years, when bust
ness conditions in our country have
been clOgged where they have not
been actually going backward. Cot
ton in Mexico is selling at 16i cents a
pound in silver, which is equal to St
cents in our money. l paid $3.50 in
silver for suit Of rooms which in
this country, would have cost $40 in
gold. A suit Of clothes, pair Of
gloves, hat. or any item OF domestic
necessity sells in Mexico for approx
mately the same amount in silver
that we are required to pay here in
gold; in other words. at about half
the price. This establishes very
clearly to my mind the absurdity OF
the argument about silver being a
depreciating currency. A silver dol
lar in Mexico will do what is done by
gold dollar in this country, and it
has been the appreciation of gold and
not the depreciation Of silver which
has brought about the disparity.
II found the factories running on
full time and a cotton factory at
Orizaba. capitalized at S3.5OOOOO was
paying from 20 to % per cent divi-
dends. The people are contented and
prosperous and have not suffered from
the general depression during the
last few years. The truth Of the
matter is that the silver currency Of
Mexico has acted as a splendid pro.
lection measure against outside de-
preston, and as it has resulted in
Mexico, so it would be in this country
if we would initiate the example Of
Mexico in this respect and throw our
selves upon our own resources
