CONGRESSMAN MILES.

Ever since the Chicago con-
vention, there has been consid-
cradle speculation throughout
the First Congressional Dis
trict as to what course The
Hon. Joshua w. Miles would
take. Owing to the great
silver sentiment prevailing in
the District and the knowledge
that MIR. Miles had proclaimed
himself. prior to the National
Convention. in favor of the
gold standard, his attitude as
a candidate for the congress-
ional nomination has been the
subject OF a vast amount of
talk, and the majority OF Dem
ocrats have hoped that he
would pu, himself before his
people in such a way that they
could feel sure of his ardent
support for silver" if he sue
ceeded himself as Congress-
man from this District. No
one has asked Mr.. Miles to
stultify himself, but as the
Representative OF the people,
be they right or wrong, he
should bow to their judgment
and give them what they ask,
as far as it is in his power.
And, according to the editor
OF the Cambridge Cha0nlcle,
who says he has unquestioned
authority for making the state
ment.-
''if MIR. Miles name is presented to the
Ocean City convention. it will be with
the distinct assurance on his part that
he will faithfully represent the views
OF majority Of his constituents,
aid cast his influence for the fulfill.
ment of the pledges of the Chicago
platform. As representative of the
people. acting in position where it is
his duty TO carry out their voice, the
path of duty is distinctly marked out,
and we are pleased to believe that Mr..
Miles will permit the presentation of
his name 10 the convention, and will,
if nominated and elected, use his large
and growing inhunce in Congress to.
wards the accomplishment of the will
Of the people"
His friends are pleased TO
learn from this source that
Mr.. Miles will say to his
people: if you elect me to
Congress will stand by Pres
ident Bryan in carrying out
the pledges of the Chicago
platform and ! will vote, and
work with all my might, for a
a law which will insure the free
coinage OF silver at the ratio OF
10 to /.

that silver should have the value OF
money before it is made money, which
is manifestly impossible.
The Nanderbilts have two lines of
railroad between New York and Buff
falo. Suppose they should take off
from one of these lines all through
trains, leaving only few local trains
to do little business, and double the
trains on the other. Presumably the
earnings Of the two lines and the value
of the stock of the two roads would be
in proportion 10 the business of each
Would il not appear on lis face alb
surd, under such conditions, for the
Nanderbilts to say when the earn
ings Of the line depleted of trains and
business shall equal the earnings Of
the other line, and its stock becomes
as valuable, then we will put the
through trains back on il, but not till
them But would this be any more
absurd than to ask that the value of
silver, without monetary use, or the
right of mintage, should be the same
as with it?
What would be the value of gold if
it were generally demonetized, as it
might be, and rs silver has been At
present rate OF consumption in the arts,
the stock of gold now in the world de-
voted to money use would last about
fifty years. What would be the value
of anything of which there was fifty
years supply on hand? 1t is the re-
striction which has been placed on the
monetary use of silver, and the con.
sequent increased work laid upon gold,
that has wrought the change in the
value of both.
Again there is no such thing as
commercial value to either gold or
silver, separate and apart from its value
as money. Even with silver demonetiz.
ed in Europe and the United States. it
is still the demand for it for money BY
900, 00O,0 900 of people that chiefly de-
termines its value, and there never was
n time since these metals came into use
as money when they possessed value
as commodities separable from their
value as money. This idea is a
relic of the "intrinsic value" fallacv.
First. then, restore to silver the
right of free mintage, the same as is
accorded to gold, and the same that it
possessed for indefinite ages prior to
1878, and then il the coins of the two
metals do not remain at par on the
ratio of is to |, there might be some
reason for considering a readjustment
of the mint ratio, but not till then.

BLAINE I!
The Greatest Republican
Statesman Prophesied
that Gold Would
Bring on these
Hard Times.

non. James u. Diatnc the DralneSt
Republican ever engaged in the public
service since the birth OF that politi-
cal organization was an advocate of
free coinage. In speech in the
United States Senate in 1873 he said !:
II believe the struggle now gong
on in this country and in other coun-
tries for single gold standard would /,
il successful, produce widespread disas.
ter in and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as
money, and establishing gold as the
sole unit Of value, must have ruinous
effect on all forms of property except
those investments which yield fixed
return in money. Those would be
enormously enhanced in value, and
would gain disproportionate and I'M
fair advantage over every other species
OF property. Ii. as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there are nearly ST.
000, 900, 900 of coin or bullion in the
world, very equally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to
strike silver out of existence as money
without results that will prove dis
tressing TO millions, and utterly disas-
trous to tens of thousands.
Il believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitutions !; indeed,
the money of the American people
anterior to the constitution, which the
great organic law recognized as quite
independent Of its cwn existence. No
power was conferred on Congress to
declare either metal should not be
money. Congress has, therefore, in
my judgement, no power to demone-
tie either. II, therefore. silver has
been demonetized, | am in favor OF
remonetizing it. II its coinage has
been prohibited, / am in favor of
ordering it to be resumed. am in
favor of having il enlarged"
"rhe responsibility of re-establishing
silver in its ancient and honorable
place as money in Europe and Ameri-
can devolves really upon the congress
Of the United States. If we act here
with wisdom and firmness. we shall
not only successfully remonetize silver,
and bring il into general use as money
in our own country, but the influence
Of our example will he potential
among European nations, with the
possible exception Of England. In
deed, our annual Indictment to
Europe is so great that, if We have the
right to pay it in silver, we necessarily
coerce those nations. by the strongest
of all forces, self.interest, to aid us in
upholding the value of silver as
money.
I'VE need both gold and silver, and
we can have both only by making
each the equal of the other. 1t would
not be difficult to show that, in the
nations, where both have been fully
recognized and most widely difiused,
the sreadiest and most continuous
prosperity has been enjoyed-that true
form Of prosperity which reaches all
classes, but which begins with the
day-laborer whose toll lays the founda-
ton of the whole superstructure of
wealth.

ONE patent fact is that the

ATTENTION, FARMERS .

Here is something for Wor-
cester farmers to consider
Before silver was demonetized
we had good times. And now
the Democratic party proposes
to make a silver dollar as good
as a gold dollar and bring back
the good old times. Under
the present gold standard
which the Republicans want
to retain, we see:
Corn selling at is cents a
bushel.
The price OF farms decreas-
ing.
No market for our fruits
and trucks.
Mortgages multiplying
The prices OF farm products
have fallen off one halt.
Tramps are numerous.
Millionaires increasing.
Corn, wheat and other farm
products have fallen in value
in the same ratio that silver
has fallen.
Since silver was demone-
TIED all values are measured
in gold alone The sum OF
money measures the sum OF
all values. When silver was
cut off half the money was cut
off, and values have fallen
one-half.
Debts contracted when
wheat was one dollar bushel,
are virtually doubled, for it
takes two bushels to pay what
one would have paid when
silver was demonetized.
1t takes twice as many
bushels OF wheat to pay inter
est, and hence interest is
doubled.
1t takes twice as many
bushels to pay taxes, hence
taxes are doubled.
From 1892 until 1873 there
was free coinage of both gold
and silver. In 1873 silver
was cut off, and in 1855 tariff
taxation was made higher.
As farm products and all
values kept falling federal tax
alton was increased by the
Mckinley tariff. High taxa
ton and contraction OF the
currency have nearly ruined
the masses, while millionaires
have multiplied, and the mean
ing of the Chicago platform is
the restoration OF our money
system TO what it was from
1892 until 1873 and the re-
duction OF taxation.
1t means an honest dollar OF
100 cents; the payment Of
public and private debts in the
dollar that was borrowed the
payment Of six per cent. inter
est.
