Anarchists and Democrats.

Chairman Senter, in his introduce
tory remarks at the democratic flag
raising, Saturday evening, complained
because in this canvass democracy is
associated with anarchism. Mr.. Bryan
said in his speech at Madison Square
Garden that by some democrats are
called anarchists because one plank of
the Chicago platform dissents from the
opinion rendered by the supreme court
declaring the income tax u~nconstitu-
tional. Mr.. Senter has nc just cause
for complaint because democrats are
called anarchists and Mr.. Bryan is
wrong as to the cause of the charac-
terization. The Chicago platform de-
clared:
I'VE denounce arbitrary interference by
Federal authorities in local affairs as a vi
olation OF the Constitution Of the United
States and a crime against free institutions,
and we especially object to government by
injunction as a new and highly dangerous
form OF oppression"
In 1894 the Pullman Company of
Chicago and its employees had a dispute
about wages. Eugene V. Debs and his
fellow officials of the American Railway
Union undertook to force a settlement
OF the dispute by stopping the traffic on
all the railways running out of Chicago
that would not cease hauling the Pull
mar cars. Public travel was inter-
rupted and rendered perilous, the car
rying of the mails was stopped, rails
were torn up, bridges wrecked, cars
burned, many lives lost and millions of
dollars worth of property destroyed. A
murderous mob, called into existence
by the edicts of Debs, held possession
OF the railway connections at Chicago.
Altgeld, the pardoner of bomb.throw-
ing anarchists, was governor of Illinois
aud refused to interfere for the preser-
walton of order, the protection of life
and property. The government of the
United States put forth its strong hand

In his speech at Pittsburg Mr.. Bryan
said: Sixteen to one means that, if
you owe a debt, you can go into the
market and buy silver and have it
coined and use that silver to pay your
debts" That is a frank and candid
statement of the essentially dishonest
character of the proposed financial
change. Who will benefit by the
change, the laborer, the men of small
means, or the man or corporation with
the means to buy silver bullionP The
laborer has his small savings in silver
dollars. What will it advantage him to
buy silver bullion with silver dollars, to
have it coined to pay his debts2 The
advantage will come to the man, the
institution, with the mean to buy sill
yer bullion at fifty cents, have it coined
into a legal tender dollar and Herewith
pay his debts. The rich manufacturer
will be able to pay his laborers in this
thrifty way; the savings bank its de-
positors, and the life insurance COM
psny its policy holders. Mr.. Bryan
has helped the cause of sound money
by his frank explanation of the true in
wardness of the silver movement. 1t
is a scheme to make the rich man
riche and the poor man poorer.

FOR CITY REPRESENTATIVE,
WILLIAM A. LORD.

Less than two weeks of the canvass
remain. On the stump and in the
newspapers the issues of the canvass
have been presented. The issues dis
cussed relate to national rather than
state affairs. The election derives it's
chief Importance from its bearing upon
national affairs. The appeal to the
voters is on national grounds. A vote
for a republican state official is a vote
for the republican national policy as to
the tariff, the currency, and every other
American interest. The great,majority
OF the people of Vermont believe i'm
plicitly in the national republican
ause. They never believed more
firmly in it than to-day. They never
had stronger reasons for their faith.
Three years and a half of a national
administration under another and a
conflicting policy, and the deplorable
consequences that have followed, have
confirmed the doubling, if there were
ever among republicans any doubters of
the wisdom and soundness of the re-
publican political creed. The repub-
licans Of Vermont had no faith in the
democratic doctrine of free trade.
They have no reason to believe in it
to-day. They have infinitely less rea-
son for belief in the doctrine of free
silver, and they will be called upon, on
the first of September, to express both
the measure OF. their condemnation of
the democratic doctrine of free trade
and their dread and adherence Of the
popocratic doctrine of finance.

A Democratic ROOrback.

The Vermont democrats are circu-
lating a sheet headed Republican
Reasons Why Josiah Grout Should Not
be Governor of Vermont" containing
extracts from a republican paper that
supported Stickney in the ~ante-conven-
ton struggle. This paper aptly re-
torts that reasons why Grout should
not be governor are not reasons why
Jackson should be. Grout is the nom
inee of the republican party and repre-
sents principles upon which the party is
united. Jackson avows himself a gold
man, though his party is pledged to
silver. His position is unique and can
hardly be self-satisfying. The demo-
cratic plan is to capture both the gold
and silver wings of the party by this
.straddling attitude. We do not believe
it will succeed. Democrats must begin
to despair of profting by the Grout-
Stickney contest when they see the
leading Stickney men on the stump for
Grout, earnestly exhorting every re-
publican to come out and vote Septem-

THOSE who had the patience to listen
on Saturday night, heard a good deal
about the wrong of paying the national
debt in gold, and a good deal about the
fairness and righteousness of paying it
in silver. Years ago there was a race
of patriots who would pay the bonds
with greenbacks because they were sold
for greenbacks. These silver mouth
ers are descendants of the greenback-
ers and fiat money men. When the
civil war was on, the government
needed money. Money it must have.
To inspire with confidence the people
who had the money-and they were
the farmers, the mechanics, the pro.
fessional men, the owners of small es-
tates, trustees of widows and orphans,
as well as bankers and capitalists-the
assurance was given that the loan
would be paid, principal and interest,
in gold. This understanding was the
Keystone of the governments arch of
credit. 1t was as clear and ~indisputa-
BILE as if gold had been nominated in
the bond. Creditors of that period had
no idea of a greenback or a silver craze
to alright them into demanding that
the government should put the strict
letter of the contract, as well as it's
spirit, into the bond. They trusted the
government, and took its promises to
pay on the general understanding that
payment would be made in gold. Now,
having got the money, for which it was
in dire distress, how would it comport
with a great, rich and powerful nations
honor to turn round and on a bubble, a
technicality, repudiate the fundamental
condition which was the very spirit and
essence of the contract? How do men
look upon the individual who violates
the spirit of solemn obligations9 How
do they look upon the person who OBJ
tains goods or money under false pre-
lenses? To pay the debt incurred in
putting down the rebellion in silver
would not be payment in accordance
with the promise. AT the present value
of silver it would be repudiating about
fifty per cent of the promise. The real
sufferers would not be the gold bugs"
the bulls and bears of Wall Street; they
would be the classes we have named
who loaned the government their
money, trusting its promises as to pay
ment. 1t is consistent with the spirit of
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-08-19

THE question is often asked why is
not silver worth as much now as it
ever was? Most persons can under
stand that plenty and cheapness go to-
gether. If eggs are abundant the price
goes down; if the peach crop is large
peaches are cheap; if apples are plenty
the price is low. If the supply of any ar
ticle increases rapidly and is sufficient
for all wants, the price will fall. So it
has been with silver. The law of sup
ply and demand affects the precious
metals as we'll as commodities like eggs
or peaches or apples, wheat or corn.
In 1873, when the silver dollar was
worth a few cents more than the gold
dollar, the entire world produced some
6 3,000,0 900 ounces of silver. For sew
eral years there was no material
change. In 1880 the product had
risen to about rs, 900 900 ounces. The
value of the gold product was much
greater and had increased much more
rapidly. After 1880 the production of
silver began to increase rapidly. In
1890 it had grown to 126, ZOO, 900
ounces, and in 1895 it was about 175,-
100000. In twenty-three years the pro-
duction in the whole world has in.
creased about 200 per cent; in the
United States alone, about 100 per
cent. While the silver production Of
the world has trebled, and of the
United States has doubled, there has
been no proportionate increase of pop
ulation. The supply has vastly out
stripped the demand and the price has
fallen, as any other commodity would
fall under the same circumstances.

As to Mexico.

There is irony as we'll as pathos in
the avidity the populistic democracy
shows in turning to Mexico for proof
of the advantages of the silver stand.
ard. When before was the poor grease,
republic set up for a pattern for the
rest OF the world, particularly in
finance? Arguing for the silver cause
from the example of Mexico, is very
much like selecting Nevada, or any of
the other great silver mining camps of
the West, as an illustration of the adj
vantages to the nation at large of max
ing silver king.
The silver standard for Mexico was
determined by nature. Silver has been
its only currency for four hundred
years. Two-thirds of the whole stock
OF the world has come out of it's mines.
Their product since their discovery has
been about $4,000, OOO, 900. while the
total gold product has been only about
$500, 900 900. Mining enterprises there
are now more active than at any other
period. More than half her annual ex.
ports is silver coin, bullion or silver
bearing lead. Her agricultural exports
are insignificant, excepting coffee, of
which some nine million dollars worth
is exported. The cost of production
in silver is about ten cents a pound and
Is sold at twenty cents in gold, yielding
an immense profit. OF domestic
products in general, Minister Romero
says the expenses of producing them
are paid in silver, and therefore their
cost, as compared with their market
value, is considerably less than that of
similar articles produced or raised in
single gold standard countries" As
wages is the chief item in expense of
production, and as the welfare of the
laborlng class is the first object of the
solicitude of statesmen and stump ora
tors, Minister Romero's testimony on
this point is important. Wages are ex-
ceedingly low and are paid in silver.
The products, like coffee, are sold in
gold countries at lucrative prices and
the gain to the capitalist is very large.
When gold and silver were at par, at
the ratio of n to sixteen, these ex-
ports were not remunerative; now thew
are very profitable. That is, prices
have become inflated, while wages have
remained practically stationary, being
in many instances only about one-third
as much as in the United States.
In a letter to General Clayton re-
Gently Mayor Campbell of Ell Paso,
Texas, stated that he had made thor
ough inquiries into the Wholesale price
OF some common articles of merchan-
disc in that city, and in the city of
Juarez, just across the Rio Grande in

TALK about the 200-cent dollar is a
great deal of a boomerang. Workmen
are paid and salaries are paid in this
2O0-cent dollar. By this standard the
workman whose weekly wages are $40
is receiving in fact 500. The clerk
whose salary is $1,000 is in fact getting
$4,000. The populist orators shed tears
over the hardships of working men, and
yet they are conspiring to cut down his
wages fifty per cent.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-08-19

These are samples from O long list of
the necessaries. These are the prices
at Juarez, a place at which, owing to
some tariff regulation, prices are lower.
In the interior they would be much
higher. Mayor Campbell found that
the Mexican laborer is paid in the
larger cities of Mexico from seventy
five cents to S1.50 a day, and the best
skilled labor SO a day in silver. The
Mexican dollar, sold for forty-eight
cents, though five grains heavier than
the American dollar, is a prominent
feature in this Champaign of educa-
tion" in finance. 1t shows the Amer
lean laborer that the silver standard is
not a brilliant success in Mexico, for
the laborer. These figures of the
prices of a few of the ne~cessaries of
life, and of wages, in a silver standard
country, are a sufficient answer to the
silvery talk of the democratic campaign
orators. They will not ~captivate the
senses of the class to which this talk
is chiefly addressed. The silver stand
ard may be best for Mexico, whose
chief product is silver it is not
necessarily best for the United States,
many of whose farm products alone ex-
coed, several fold, its entire silver prod
uct. In the case of the silver standard
for the United States, Mexico is not a
convincing or an inspiring witness.

Mr.. BRYAN said in his famous
speech in the Chicago convention, re-
ferring to Mckinley, that "tbat man
shoulders to-day when he thinks that he
was nominated on the anniversary of
the battle of Waterloo" AS Bryan
wends his way back to the wild and
woolly West'' he may tremble when he
reflects that his inroad /" into the me-
my's country" and the return, may
bear some moral likeness to Napoleon's
march to Moscow and the disastrous
retreat.
