Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1896-07-23

Inc dispatches OF the Rol0DuS AS
sociated Press are padded these days
with the names Of Democratic papers
which have bolted the Chicago ticket.
But no mention is ever found Of the
numerous Republican papers which
have declared against Mckinley and
will battle for Bryan an ! silver during
the campaign, Two notable papers Of
this class are the Detroit Tribune and
the Detroit Evening News. Both are
Republican papers. the former having
been for so years the official organ OF
the Republican party in Michigan,
but, being firm believers in the Justice
of admitting silver to free coinage.
they cannot swallow the gold cure
even II it is administered by the
apostle of protection Their editorial
columns are filled with sound silver
argument, showing up the gold heresy
in its true colors. Count Michigan
as surely for Bryan and Sewall next
November.
A ve1y peculiar circumstance Is that
while all bimetallists agree as to the
effects of the free coinage of silver,
each gold man seems to have his own
theory on the subject. Nearly all of
these, however, ignore the most ele-
mentary laws OF economical science 10
e~ndeavoriDg to score a point against
the white metal They not only use
false arguments, but they also argue
from false premises-premises that
well-informed econ Dmists fav0riDg the
gold standard would reject with scorn
One of the most fragrant instances Of
the disregard OF economic truths is
the contention of the tin-hOrn econ
omists that a largely increased de-
mand for silver would lower the price
OF the metal instead Of causing it to
rise In value. 1t seems almost a waste
Of breath to argue with such people.
Either they are densely ignorant, or
they deliberately falsify. hoping TO
convince their hearers by the mere
force Of iteration.
The Indianapolis Journal concluds
that the whole free coinage business
is a scheme Of the mine-owners and
speculating ring to double its wealth
at the expense of the people, That is
pure dishonesty. Has Prof. Andrews
any interest in silver mines, or is be a
Spectator in silver bullion is Mr.
Balfour, or the Chancellor of Germany
or the foremost statesman Of France!
Are any OF these m~ine-owners or specu'

the Journal is right. suppo4e a law is

The gold men have decided to make
vigorous fight for the control of the ne,
Congress, and the struggle is going to
a hard one. They seem to regard Bryan
election as certain, but hope to make h
victory a vain one by electing a congre

inimical to his. The gold men have
