Senator Pettigrew IL interviewed the
Only Living Issue.
Senator Pettigrew OF South Dakota
has been to New York, and has talked
politics with prominent republicans.
He wants Senator Davis Of Minnesota
nominated for president because he
would not veto a silver bill. Speaking
OF the situation in the west, Mr. Petit
grew said:
The importance to the republican
party OF securing the support and CO.
operation Of the silver wing in the next
presidential campaign cannot be over
estimated II the silver men are ig
nored and gold bug is nominated upon
gold platform, seven or eight of the
republican states of the northwest will
be lost to the republicans. Upon such
an issue, squarely made, the silver men
will put up a candidate OF their own
and he will poll at least 5000 900 votes,
which will prevent an election by the
people"
How would that help you? Is not
the house republican, and will 1t not
choose the candidates OF the republican
party II the election should be thrown
into the house of representatives.
"I am not sure about that Senator
Pettigrew answered.. Each state will
have one vote. Suppose all the southern
states, whose tendencies are decidedly
in favor OF silver, should combine with
the west and north west? The silver
candidates would come very near being
elected, but of course what we all hope
to avoid is such a contingency. / am
not trying to make any threats.
Threats are very silly among men.
am simply stating what is perfectly pa
tent to every intelligent and thinking
man who has travelled through the west
and observed the trend OF public senti-
ment.-Raleigh IN. c. Carolinian.
Senator Pettigrew paid this Office a
visit last week The senator has studied
the silver question carefully, and has
most comprehensive grasp of the sub
iect. Like nearly all who have studied
it without bias, he is an uncompromis-
ing bimetallist. He scouts the idea OF
the United States asking the co-opera-
ton or permission Of England to restore
the money system of the American con-
stitution. He has unbounded conf
dence in the ability OF the United States
to manage its monetary affairs. and
would prefer to see this country act
alone.
The National Bimetallist cordially in
dorses the sentiment and congratulates
the people of South Dakota upon their
senior senator, who is true TO their in
terests, and able to defend them.-Na-

Con gresham Bartine Tells Chicago
Pspor What Free Coinage Would DO.


Hon H. f. Bartine, in Chicago Even
ing Press: | favor free silver, because
| am bimetallist, and there can be no
genuine bimetalism without according
TO both metals unlimited coinage and
full legal tender. am in favor of the
ratio of Is to 1 because that corre-
spends very closely with the relative
quantities of gold and silver in the
world whether in the form of coin or
Immediately available for coinage: for
the further reasons that this was the
legal ratio at the time silver was de-
monetiZed, and because there is no
doubt in my mind that under present
conditions of production and consump-
ton by the other countries the United
States can coin, absorb, and use the
entire surplus stock of silver in the
world, thus fixing the market value at
our coinage rate. To change to a high
er ratio would not only diminish the
amount of metallic money, but it would
throw our silver coinage too far out of
concordance with the coinages of other
nations using both metals, nearly all
of the full legal tender silver in the
world being now coined at ratios rang
ing from 10 to 10 TO /. AS defined
above, bimetallism is greatly superior
to monOmetalism. because the two
metals constituting a much larger
body than one alone the aggregate mass
is less liable to sudden changes of value
as the mines increase or diminish their
output.
l am in favor of free coinage because
the certain effect of demonetizing
silver was to increase the demand
for gold, thus enhancing It's value
and depreciating the value of all
dens of the debtor and giving an
other property, adding to the bur
unconscionable advantage TO those
who are in a position to control the
worlds supply Of gold.
Because silver decentralization was
Immediately followed by a tremendous
and unnatural shrinkage of property
and commodity values, the great staples
at wholesale prices having fallen more
than 40 per cent.
Because this shrinkage in values has
been accompanied by a most extraor-
binary depression of trade and indus
try, continuing with only temporary
checks and partial revivals from 1873
to the present time.
Because under the gold standard thus
established there his been more ex-
treme poverty, more widespread suf-
fering, and more "tramps" than ever
before in the history of our country.
Because at the same time there has
been a greater massing OF wealth at a

Our "Sound Currency" System

Now that the order has gone out to
stop the coinage of silver dollars, we
hope the Cleveland administration is
chock-ful of joy. This has been its aim
since Villas and the other goldbugs on
the resolutions committee drew up the
money-straddling plank for the Dem
ocratic convention of 1892.
BY this order the silver bullion in
the treasury is thrown onto the $685.
100000 gold reserve for protection.
There are already about $500, 1000, 900 in
various forms of currency dependent
upon those 1913 900 900 for stability, and
as the silver bullion, if coined, amounts
to s17S,O00,0 600, nearly 81 600 100000 is
kept at par by less than one-tenth that
sum.
What would be thought of a mer-
chant IL he tried to run a thousand-dol-
lar business on a capital of 1913? What
would be thought of a business man il
he persisted in issuing notes when his
safe was filled with money? What is to
be thought of a national financial sys-
tenn which makes 500 ,000, 900 of assets
equal 81, 600, 000, 900 of liabilities?
Yet we are daily informed by goldite
mouth organs and spell-binders that
the country will go to hell il we depart
from Sound money basis"

Horatio, than in all the homes for
feeble-minded on earth.-Chicaso

Senator Chambers Position.

Senator Chambers letter to the Re-
publcans OF Colorado is, perhaps, the
most significant of recent events bear
ing upon the silver issue.
1t has been known for long time
that Mr. Chandler is very anxious for
the complete restoration of silver to
its former position as a money metal.
It has been currently believed that his
colleague, Mr. Gallinger, shares his
views. Such being the case, there is
scarcely room for doubt that there is
considerable silver sentiment in the
staid old commonwealth of New Hamp-
shire. A few years ago the greenback-
ers. 1t will be remembered, came very
near carrying the adjoining state OF
Maine.
Some months since the Boston Post
took vote on the silver question. The
columns of the paper were kept open for
a few days only, and the total vote was
about 2,400. OF these more than 1,40O
were for free coinage, and something
over 900 against it.

few OF the principal money centers than
ever before

rev OF the principal MONEY centeTs tudn
ever before.
Because at the money centers them
selves this wealth is in the hands OF an
exceedingly small number OF individ-
uals, as shown by the fact that in New
York, by far the richest city in Amer
lea, and the Gibraltar of the gold stan
dard, only about per cent OF the peo-
pie own their homes, many even Of .Ais
small percentage being under mortgage.
Because the appreciation OF gold UNI
der present conditions has given silver
using countries opportunities and adj
vantages which they never had before,
enabling them te compete with US In
the European market. and forcing us
TO sell our great staples upon a silver
basis, while every debt must be paid
in appreciated gold or its equivalent.
From this it necessarily follows that a
rise in the value OF silver would be TO
our advantage as great producing and
exporting nation also loaded down
with debt
Because the restoration OF silver to
its proper place in our monetary sys-
tenn will at once place us in close COM
mercial relations with silver using
countries comprising about two-thirds
of the worlds population, thus furnish
ing market for our manufacture and
vastly increasing our foreign trade
Because the use of cheap silver" as
1t is contemptuously termed, is building
up the manufactures OF Mexico, China,
Japan, and other countries at a rate
that threatens destruction, not only to
our own, but to those of Europe as well.
Because, finally, | believe that the
free coinage OF silver will, in part, at
least, restore lost values, set the
wheels of industry in motion, give en-
ployment to vast numbers OF honest
workmen. make credit more secure by
increasing the supply Of actual money
upon which all credit rests, perma-
nently revive business and bring more
Of real permanent prosperity to the
toilers and producers of the country

mption.-Hebrew Leader.
One effect of silver's reconciliation
has been to erect a barrier more eff
fective against commercial imports into
silyer-using countries than a Chinese
wall could be. As a result Of demOneti-
cation, the manufacture Of cotton and
other goods has increased most amaz-
ingly in India. in China and in Japan.
Manufacturers OF India can easily I'M
dersell the United States and the cOun-
tries of Europe in Asia. Silver is worth
as much as ever in Asia, in domestic
use, so the manufacturers there can buy
as much labor as before with the same
amount Of silver. But as silver is COM
mercially worth nearly one-half less
than it was before decentralization in
the United States and Europe, it re-
quires nearly twice as much silver TO
pay for a given quantity OF goods i'm
ported into silver countries from the
United States and Europe as it did be-
fore characterization. This is equivalent
to an import protective duty OF nearly
or quite one hundred per cent, and con-
sequently the native manufacturers in
the silver standard countries are hay-
ing things their own way. This ex-
plains the prosperity Of Mexico, as well
as the prosperity of the manufacturing
countries OF Asia. Our manufacturers
cannot compete with the manufacturers
of Mexico in selling to Mexicans. Sill
yer is worth as much there as before
characterization, and labor costs the
manufacturer no more. The American
manufacturer must ask twice or nearly
twice his former price in order to make
a reasonable profit If he would sell in
Mexico, and consequently the manu-
facturers of Mexico have a cinch on the
situation. All the benefits of protect
i've tariff in this country are given away
or made null by the present money poll
cy, which keeps the American manu-
facturers from the markets OF silver
using countries as effectually as though
these silver using countries imposed a
protective duty on all manufactured inn
ports OF one hundred per cent.-Syra-
cuse Herald IN "
At every turn we are confronted by
evidence of the fact that the apprecia-
ton of gold is building up the business
OF silyer-using countries at the expense
OF those upon the gold standard.
Nothing could be clearer than the
above article from the Syracuse Herald,
and nothing could be very much more
suggestive than the opening paragraph.
Gold having risen nearly 100 per cent,
measured in silver, when the Chinaman
sends his silver abroad to buy goods,
he has to send two dollars instead OF
one. Hence he keeps them both at
home and as far as possible manufac-
lures his own goods. And still the gold
champion INDUCES in glowing panegy-
RIGS upon what he calls the best money
in the worl It never occurs TO him
that money become too dear" to
be good"

Suspension of Coinage.

By the direction of the president, the
coinage of all silver bullion purchased
under the Sherman act was suspended
November 1. The amount of bullion
now held by the treasury is 1877 ,644, 600
ounces. The New Orleans mint will be
closed, and no further coinage of silver
dollars will be made until congress has
taken action on the currency question
The appropriation for recoinage of sub
sidiary mutilated coin is exhausted, and
no further coinage on that account will
be made until further appropriation
has been made by congress. This vir-
tually places all outstanding treasury
obligations on a gold basis.
