Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1896-10-01

one of the most popular men in Iowa
county, and justly so. Nearly all OF
his life time has been spent In Mineral
Point, having come here with his
father, the late General VIM. II. Smith,
IN 1893. He is man who enjoys in
the highest degree the confidence OF
his friends and neighbors. He has
held various positions of public trust,
and has always met the highest expec-
tatlons of the people by ably and con-
cientiously discharging the duties en-
trusted to him. We radically differ
with Mr.. Smith in regard to the duty
of Democrats In dealing with the
issues with which we are confronted;
nevertheless we have no desire to keep
from him the praise that is his due as
good citizen and life long Demo-
crat.
We speak willingly-not grudgingiy
or Of necessity-of the merits and
high standing Of the men who make
up the Democratic county ticket. IL
Is a matter of regret that they are
in great measure handicapped In
the race by the issues which the Chi
cago convention forced upon the
country.

SIMPLE SUMS FOR sILvERITes.
Problems Which Can Easily BE Figured
Out by Voters.

Problems Which Can Easily BE Figured
Out by Voters.
A farmer raises 1000 bushels of
wheat, for which he now gets $500.
With that money he buys various kinds
of manufactured goods at low prices.
With free coinage at 10 to he might
get $1,000 for his wheat, but would
certainly have to pay nearly twice as
much for the goods he would buy. How
much would the farmer gain from a
cheap money scheme which doubled the
price Of the things he gets in exchange
for his wheat?
The Sherman silver law of 1890 pro-
yided for the purchase by government
Of "a, 900, 600 ounces Of silver per year.
Under the operation of that law the
price Of silver, after short speculative
RISE fell steadily from 81. 1G to IS cents
per ounce. If the purchase and storage
Of practically the entire American pro-
duction Of silver could not prevent its
price from falling, what reasons are
there for believing that the mere act of
coming silver into dollars and return
ing them to the owners of the bullion
will double the price of all the silver III
the world?
A workingman who depends for his
livelihood on the sale Of his labor to an
employer is now paid 81 per day in
currency based on the gold standard and
kept on parity with gold by our laws.
This 81 will buy relatively large guam
tity of necessities. If this country adopts
free coinage and goes on to silver basis.
So will buy only one-half as much Of
the goods the workingman needs. Show
how labor would be benefited by pol
icy which would cut the purchasing
power of wages i'll two.
An investor having money to lend
was approached by farmer who want
ed loan for the purpose of buying new
implements, additional stock and some
fertilizers. IF you will let me have
$500 on the security of my land and
buildings, said the farmer, II will
vote for free silver law which will en-
able me to pay you back next year in
dollars worth just half of those you
lend me" State how much money that
investor loaned the farmer, also the
rate of interest paid
A large number of persons who COM
planned that they were poor decided to
enact laws which would make them all
rich. As their poverty consisted in the
lack of food, clothes, furniture, houses
and other forms of wealth, they agreed
that instead of producing the things
they needed they would set men to work
digging silver, which they did not need,
out of the Rocky mountains. By so do
ing they expected that the supply of
other labor products would i'll some mys-
FERROUS way be increased. How much is
twice nothing, and how will the chang.
ing of silver bullion into coins make
more houses, machinery or beef?
If the sound money vote in Vermont
increases the Republican majority from
81 900 in 1892 to 3S, 900 this year, how
long will it take the 16 to l issue to
wipe out the entire Democratic vote i'll
that state? WnIDDEN GRAHAM.

There Has Been No Reduction.

When silverite urges you to vote for

The money i'll this country i'll circu-

Besides the money in circulation there
was in the treasury Sll1,S03, $40 Of

whole amount of money i'll the country
