IN declaring for the free coinage Of

declared for 8 different and lower money

why This Favoritismr

Silver a be proftably produced in
this country at 60 cents an ounce. 1t is
now selling here for a fraction over 80
cents.
The mine owners ask, and the Chi
cago convention is ready to agree, that
the government shall make their prod
uct worth Sl.2 30 for coinage purposes.
Why this favoritismG II the govern
ment-which means the taxpayers-is
to double the value of silver bullion.
why may it not logically be asked to
double the value Of wheat, corn, cotton
and potatoes by making an unlimited"
market for them at a fictitious price?
The silver product Of this country is
relatively of minor Importance. Its real
value In 1895 was about $32, 900, 600.
The copper product was worth $3S, 600, :
600, pig iron $105, 900, 900 and soft coal
$l15, 600, 600. Why shoald these prod
ucts be sold at commercial rates and
silver be doubled in money value by act
Of congress?
The silver craze is, at bottom, the
most unjust Paternalism and the worst
bunko game ever attempted in this
country.--New York World.

We all know that this country can
sustain a limited amount Of silver cur
rency al "a ratio OF is to / because it is
already doing it. But if it can sustain
an unlimited amount coined at the same
ratio, why can it not as we'll sustain it
at a ratio Of 3 to 1? In other words,
why can it not strike from our 10 cent
piece the inscription lone dime and
make it ''ore dollar" If this &c prac-
t~icable-and it seems TO me that the ore
is as practicable as the other--is not the
proposition of unlimited 16 to 1 an ex-
travagant and useless waste of the most
valuable commodity which the world
has ever known? 1t appears that there
are greater possibilities open to the adj
vocates Of the white metal than even
they have as yet conceived.

PLATFORM FALLACIES
False and Misleading Assertions By
the Democratic National
Convention.
Financial Planks Adopted at
Chicago Declare For Un-
sound Money and a De-
based Standard of
Value.

The declaration of financial principles
put forward by the Democratic national
convention is shrewd mixture Of cheap
money dalusions, half truths and wholly
unfounded assertions Its alleged state
ment Of facts has frequently been
shown to be untrue, but in spite OF this
they were deliberately Endorsed BY o
majority Of the representatives Of the
Democratic party. Since the standard
raised at Chicago will be used TO rally
all the forces of silveris1n, fatisn, mr.
rency debasement and debt repudiation,
ii becomes necessary to refute once more
the statements on which the American
people are asked to support the Demo
cratic candidates. This can be briefly
and effectively done by q comparison Of
the assertions Of the Chicago platform

Mexico has free and unlimited COIN

although larger than ours, is quoted in

and that it passes there and elsewhere

Our trade and commerce are not only
on "a gold basis, " but are on "a single
gold standard" To adopt silver mono
metallism, which independent free coin
age would surely produce here as it has
everywhere else, would be TO permit
Europe to fix the price of our surplus

pay Us in our own legal tender silver
