he Democrats in vast numbers who
share this curiosity and these apprehen-
sions stand by what they believe to be
gard to the currency. This policy was
declared in 1876 and reaffirmed in 1892
in these words:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
e9aaptry, cna stand and to the coinage Of both gold
against either metal or charge for mint
age; but the dollar unit of coinage Of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
the two metals. and the equal power of
every dollar ut all times in the markets
and in the payment of debt; and we de-
mand that oil paper currency shall be
Kent at par with and redeemable in such
coin. We insist upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection
Of the farmers and laboring classes. the
first and most defenseless victims of un-
stable money and fuctuating currency.
These Democrats still hold to the doc
trine of dollars of both money metals of
i equal value. that the country may have
the benefit of concurrent circulation of
gold and silver: and paper redeemable in
the same. Why not give these Demo-
Gratis chance to vote for you? Why
continue the alienation of SO large a
| body of intelligent. honest and consci-
entious voters? If you are read! for
bimctallism, and would welcome inter-
national agreement, if it can be secured,
to effect n change without possibility of
, disaster at home. why not say so? You
surely cannot object to an established
and worldwide parity Of value between
gold and silver money. Why refuse and
|, reject international agreement?
The Dickinson press., 1896-09-05

Il is plea for bilnetallism and in strong
opposition to the gold monometallists.
He says. though. us every other true BIZ
metallist says, that the attempt on the
part of this country to coin silver in
unlimited quantities free, without 'an un-
derstanding with other nations, would
be an assault on the cause of bimetallism
and practical suicide for the finances of
the United States. In 1873 Gen. Walk
alone into the breach, simply because
We think silver ought not to have been
demonetized and ought now to be re-
stored, would be a piece of Quixotism un-
worthy the sound, practical sense of our
people. The remedy of the wrong must
be sought in the concerted action of the
civilized states, under an increasing con-
viction of the impolicy of basing the
worlds trade on a single money metal"
This is his opinion today.
without an immediate fall to silver
basis, and the strident claim that this
country is big enough to ''legislate for it.
self" Gen. Walker points out two facts.
The stock of precious metals has SO
greatly increased in the world. and COM
munication and transportation are SO
much more rapid than of old. that even
France found it impossible in 1873 to
continue free silver coinage. Since there
is vastly less money metal used in the
United States than in France. the in
auence which this country can exert
upon the money market of the world is
less than the influence of France. And
yet no one accuses Gen. Walker of be-
ing less patriot or less proud of the
country for which he fought than the
youngest orator of the far West. The
difference is that he is student and
man of sense,-Syracuse Post.
The Dickinson press., 1896-09-05
Free silver and Wages.

A correspondent attempts to explain
how wages would be increased under
free silver coinage by asserting that
Grades unions, through strikes and
other means, would force the price of
labor to higher standard" This is
sheer nonsense.
Experience has conclusively demon
strated that wages, under debased sys-
tenn Of currency, never increased in the
same degree as the money cost of COM
modities. If there was ever condition
of affairs which was favorable to such
an increase it was during the Rebellion.
We were not only on a cheap money
basis. but the ranks of labor had been
enormously depleted to send men to the
front to battle for the republic, Yet,
what actually occurred? Judged by the
purchasing power of his wages the la
borer in 1868 received only 76 cents
where he had received gold dollar in
1880; in 1864 he received about 81 cents
and in 1865 little over 66 cents.
But how do workingmen fancy the idea
of being compelled to resort to sstrikes'
in order that their wages may have the
same purchasing power that they do
now? 1t will occur to sensible toilers
that if free silver coinage is going to
precipitate strikes. not really for higher
wages, but simply to keep the wages
that already exist. it will be the part of
wisdom to let we'll enough alone.--New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Dimculty is the Tariff.

In q recent speech at La Grange, Ind,
Senator Burrows said:
with all the vagaries of the three
Bryan platforms they all unite in the de.
mand for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 16 to 1, and to that question
his time in his speech of acceptance. He
declared that times are hard, prices are
low, and something is vitality wrong 1T
is not the crime of '73, however, but the
folly of '92, when Harrison was defeated
and the prosperity of the United States
'Mr. Whitney says: Don't talk about
the tariff But the whole difficulty to-
day is tariff. When Mckinley is president
More silver dollars were coined dur

panic always accompanies free trade.
During the thirty years from 1861 to
1892 we had unbounded prosperity;
wealth advanced; this republic took a
lead in manufacturing and stood ahead of
all other nations until March 4, 1893.

The Money of the Constitution.


What wild talk is this of the "silyer-
ties" convention, sin favor of restoring
to the people of the United States the
time-honored money of the constitumtloom;; m q;
gold and silver-not one, but both!"
The constitution prcscribes no such
money, nor any form of money what
ever.
But if it is ''gold and silver-not one,
but both''-that they want, why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now. on equal terms,
in larger quantities than ever before.
In the twenty-five years since the blood,
curdling "crime of 1873" was pcrpetrated
more than fifty times as many silver dol
lars have been coined as in the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world,
excepting India and China. and a larger
supply in proportion to its population
than any other, excepting France, Spain
and Holland. 1t has more gold in circu-
lation, actually. than any in the world,
excepting only France, and more propor-
tionately than any European country.
excepting Great Britain, France and
Germany. 1t also has more money of
all kinds in circulation, and all at par,
than most nations of the world.
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re-
formers that we already have what
they talk of as "the time-honored money
of the constitution" in abundant supply,
for every man who is willing honestly
to earn it.-New York Tribune.

Mills. Not Niints.

More truth cannot be crowded into an
equal number of words than is found in
this passage of Maj. McKinley's speech
in reply to a congratulatory address from
some Of his old comrades in arms:
do not know what you think about 1t,
but believe it is good deal better to open
up the mills of the United States to the Ia. 9:
bor of America than to open up the mints OF
the United States to the silver Of the world.
This goes hard and straight to the
root of the matter.
Times are not dull in Pittsburg because
there is no mint coming silver or gold
dollars in that city, but because the
great iron works are not running on full
time. There was no mint at work in
South Chicago when the rolling mills
were at work by night and by day. but
there was wage roll of $6,OOO,OOO a
year. It was not because of the activity
of the mints that Louisiana nearly dou-
bled it's sugar output. but because of the
Mckinley bounty. 1t was not because
the mints were more active in 1891 than
in 1898 that in the first year men were
striking because they could not earn
more than So per day, and in the last
were hunting for work at q cents. and,
for the most part, not finding it. The
mints were turning out as much money
in 1893 as in 1891. But the mills were
not turning out so many yards of cloth
or tons of iron.
Start the mills and the mints will be.
come active. Return to protection, and
the currency will settle itself.-Chicago
