increasing monetary needs of the
world.
''In the second place, change in the
ratio is not necessary. Hostile legis-
lation has decreased the demand for
silver and lowered its price when
measured by gold, while this same
hostile legislation, by increasing the
demand for gold, has raised the value
of gold when measured by oaher forms
Of property.
eve are told that the restoration of
bi-metallism would be hardship upon
those who have entered into contracts
payable in gold coin, but this is a mis-
take. Tt will be easier to obtain the
gold with which to meet gold con-
tract when most Of the people can use
silver, than it is now when we are
all trying to secure gold.
"The Chicago platform expressly de-
clares in favor of such legislation rs
may be necessary 10 prevent, for The
future, the characterization Of any kind
of legal tender money by private con-
tract. Such contracts are objected to
on the ground that they are against
public policy. No one questions the
right of legislatures to FIX the rate of
interest which can be collected by
law; there is far more reason for pre-
venting private individuals from set
ting aside legal tender law. The money
which is by law made legal tender,
must, in the course of ordinary bust
ness, be accepted by ninety-nine out
OF every hundred persons. Why should
the one hundredth man be permitted
to exempt himself from the general
rule? Special contracts have ten
dency to increase the demand for
particular kind of money, and thus
force it to a premium. Have not the
people a right to say that compare
lively few individuals shall not be per-
mitted to derange the financial sys-
tenn of the nation in order to collect
premium in case they succeed in fore
ing one kind of money to premium?
FORECLOSURE OF MORTGAGES.
"There is another argument to which
I ask your attention. Some of the OPP
ponents of free coinage point to the
fact that 10 months must elapse be-
tween the election and the first regular
session of Congress and assert that
during that time in case people declare
themselves in favor of. free coinage
all loans will be withdrawn and all
mortgages foreclosed. If these are
merely prophecies INDUCED in by
those who have forgotten the provi-
sions of the Constitution 1t would be
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-08-23

sufficient to remind them that the
President is empowered to convene
Congress in extra session whenever
the public requires such action. If in
November the people, by their ballots
declare themselves in favor of the inn
mediate restoration of bi-metallism,
the system can be inaugurated within
few months. If, however, the asser-
ton that loans will be withdrawn and
mortgages foreclosed is to prevent
such political action as the people be-
heve to be necessary for the preserva-
ton of their rights then "a new and
vital issue is raised. Whenever it is
necessary for the people, as a whole,
to obtain consent from the owners of
money and the changers Of money be-
fore they can legislate upon financial
questions, we shall have passed from
democracy to a plutocracy. But
that time has not yet arrived. Threats
and intimidation will be OF no avail.
THE people who, in 1916, rejected
Fhe doctrine that kings rule by right
divine, will not, in this generation,
ubscribe to the doctrine that money is
oInnipotent.
'In conclusion permit me to say
word in regard to international bi-met-
allism. We are not opposed
to an international agreement
looking to the restoration of
bi-metallism throughout the world
The advocates of free coinage have on
all occasions shown their willingness
to cooperate with other nations for
the reinstatement of silver, but they
are not willing to await the pleasure
of other governments when imme-
date relief is needed by the people
of the United States, and they further
believe that independent action offers
better assurance of international BIZ
metallism than seryile dependence up
on foreign aid. For more than twenty
years we have invited the assistance
of European nations, but all progress
in the direction of international BIZ
metallism has been blocked by the
opposition of those who derive pecu-
mary benefit from the appreciation of
gold.
''How long must tfor bi-metal-
lism to be brought to us by those who
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1896-08-23

might, in the very beginning of the
campaign, bring you greetings from
the people of the West and South and
assure YOU that their desire is not to
destroy but to- build up. They invite
you to accept the principles of a living
faith rather than listen to those who
preach the gospel of despair and adj
wise endurance of the ills you have.
The advocates of free coinage believe
that,in striving to secure the immediate
restoration of bi-metallism, they are
laboring in your behalf as well as in
their own behalf. A few of your
people may prosper under present con-
ditions, but the permanent welfare OF
New York rests upon the producers
of wealth. This great city is built
upon the commerce of the nation and
must suffer if that commerce is i'm
paired You cannot sell unless the
people have money with which to buy,
and they cannot obtain the money
with which to buy unless they are
able to sell their products at remun-
erative prices. Production Of wealth
goes before the exchange of wealth;
those who create must secure a profit
before they have anything to share
with others. You cannot afford to
join the money changers in supporting
a financial policy which, by destroying
the purchasing power of the products
OF toll, must, in the end, discourage the
creation Of wealth. / ask, I ex-
pect your cooperation. 1t is true
that a few of your financiers would
fashion a new fgure-a figure repre-
senting Columbia, her hands bound
fast with letters of gold, and her face
tuFned toward the East, appealing for
assistance from those who live beyond
the sea-.but this figure can never ex-
press your idea of this nation. You
will rather turn for inspiration to the
heroic statue which guards the en-
trance to your city-a statue rs patri-
otto in conception as ii is colossal in
proportions. 1t was the gracious gift
of sister republic, and stands upon a
pedestal built by the American people.
That figure is emblematic of the mis-
sion of our nation among the nations
of the earth. With a government
which derives its powers from the con-
sent of the governed, secures to all the
people freedom of conscience, free
dom of thought and freedom of speech
guarantees equal rights to all and
promises special privileges Ito none,
the United States should be an exam
pie in all that is good and the leading
spirit in every movement which has
for its object the uplifting of the hu-
man race"

profit by recommendation? If the double
standard win bring benefits to our
people, who will deny them the right
to enjoy those benefits? If our oppo-
nents would admit the right, the abil-
ity and the duty of our people to act
for themselves on all public questions
without the assistance and regardless
of the wishes of other nations, and
then propose the remedial legislation
which they consider sufficient, we
could meet them in the field of hon
orable debate; but, when they assert
that this nation is helpless ito protect
the rights of it's own citizens, we chal-
lenge them to submit the issue to n
people whose patriotism has never
been appealed to in vain.
AMERICANS MUST GOVERN.
Eve shall not offend other nations
when we declare the right of the
American people to govern themselves,
and, without let or hindrance from
without, decide upon every question
presented for their consideration. In
taking this position, we simply main
tain the dignity of seventy million cit
liens who are second to none in their
capacity for government.
"The gold standard has compelled
the American people to pay an ever-in-
creasing tribute to the creditor ma
tons OF the world-7a tribute which
no one dares to defend. / assert that
national honor requires the United
States to secure justice for all its citi-
Gems as well as do justice to all it's
creditors. For a people like ours,
blest with natural resources of sur
passing richness, to proclaim them
selves impotent to frame a financial
system suited to their own needs, is
humiliating beyond the power of Ian
guage to describe. We cannotenforce
respect for our foreign policy so long
as we confess ourselves unable TO
frame our own financial policy.
Honest differences of opinion have
always existed, and ever viii exist, as
to the legislation best calculated to
promote the public veal; but, when
it is seriously asserted that this nation
must bow TO the dictation Of other ma
tions and accept the policies which
they insist upon, the right of self-goy
eminent is assailed, and until that
question is settled all other questions
are insignificant.

''In 1878 Mr.. Carlisle said: Mankind

and silver annually available for coin
age, when converted into coin at the
present ratio, will not, in my judg-
ment, more than supply our monetary
needs.
I'm supporting the act of 1890, known
as the Sherman act, Senator sherman,
on June 5, of that year, said:
Under the law of February, 1878,
the purchase of $2,00O,000 worth OF
silver bullion a month has by coinage
produced annually an average of near
iy $4,000, 900 per month for a period OF
twelve wears, but this amount, in
view of the retirement OF the bank
notes. will not increase our currency
in proportion to our increasing popu-
lation. If our present currency is esti-
mated at $1,400, 100000 and our popula-
ton is increasing at the ratio of ;
per cent per annum, it would require
sac. 900 900 increased circulation each
year 10 keep pace with the increase
of population; but, as the increase OF
population is accompanied by a still
greater ratio of increase of wealth and
business, it was thought that an inn
mediate increase of circulation might
be obtained by larger purchase of sil-
yer bullion ITO an amount sufficient TO
make good the retirement of bank
notes and keep pace with the growth
of population. Assuming that S54,-
100000 a year of additional currency
is needed upon this basis, that amount
is provided for in this bill by the issue

MORE AND MORE MONEY NEEDED.

more than forty-two millions annually
