A middle of the roader,n who
participated in the Ellensburgh affair
IN discussing free silver, says "Thest
new converts to Populism, have bee n
telling Us in the last few days that the
silver dollar is not by the terms con-
vertible into gold, and that it is main
tanned at par purely by government
hat, and that the government fiat will
will keep all the silver can be brought
to the mints and coined at par.
believe the government can. But
these men don't see as I do, that if tn e
government can keep So cents, worth
OF silver in an irredeemable dollar at
par by fat, it can keep an irredeemable
paper dollar, costing iutrinsically 2
cents, at par"
In fact he continued "there is not
an argument which can be advanced
in favor of free coinage of silver which
cannot apply with equal or greater
force to fat money. I would like
nothing better than to follow these
gentlemen around, and take their
argument up in detail and put in fat
dollar everywhere they say silver
dollar
81 am for free coinage of silver"
said he. 'just as an object lesson, not
for any use / have for free silver.
When the pee pie see that silver worth
only So cents when put into an ire
deemable dollar win circulate at par
with 100 cents in gold, they will see
the nonsense of having any coined
money, or any money of redemption.
These free silver Republicans and
Democrats will also see it, when their
financial education is little further
advanced"
No matter What the amount of
money in the country is, if it is tied
up and boarded it serves no useful
purpose. Times will be no better with
all these oceans of free silver which the
Populists promise, i. e. money does not
get into circulation, without return
of confidence. That confidence will
not come under Mr.. BRYAN.

Bryan Against Bryan.

Speaking in the house August 16,
1898, Mr.. Bryan said: "The ratio OF
16 70 l overvalued gold and our silver
went abroad. The silver dollar was
worth about 3 cents more than the
gold dollar, because it could be coined
in France at the ratio of Is 1-2 to l.
Thus during all the period prior to
1873 this country enjoyed bimetalism,
and, although at one time we used one
metal and at another time another, no
statesman arose to demand a single
standard"
1t is a popularity of Mr.. Bryan's
mind not to realize the significance OF
his own words. He has stated in the
quoted sentence Gresham's law and
he has offered in evidence convincing
illustration of it. Gresham's law is
that whenever at the mint of country
both gold and silver are coined free
and in unlimited quantities and one
metal enjoys advantage over the other.
in the difference between the coinage
ratio and the commercial ratio, thu
overvalued metal will remain in the
country and the undervalued will seek
more favorable market elsewhere.
Yet in the same sentence Mr.. Bryan
saws this was bimetalism while declar-
ing we had at one time only one OF
the two metals. sat one time we used
one metal and at another time
another" He means "the other"
That is to say, when silver had the
advantage of gold in the mint ratio
gold disappeared and when gold had
the advantage silver disappeared. In
other words, as Mr. Bryan shows, there
has been no era in the United States
since the foundation of the govern
ment during the period OF the free
and unlimited coinage of silver when
we had both gold and silver in the
country.
Does Mr.. Bryan understand himself? !?
We have both gold and silver now,
because the coinage SILVER is limited

EVERY attempt to array class
against class, the classes against the
masses" section against section, labor
against capital, "the poor against the
rich" or interest against interest in
the United States, is in the highest
degree reprehensible. 1t is opposed to
the ma tional instinct and interest, and
should be resisted by every citizen.
We are not a nation of classes, but oI
sturdy, free, independent and honorable
people, despising the demagcgue and
never capitulating to dishonor.-Major
Mckinley.

Mr.. BRYAN's recklessness of state
ment is astonishing, says the Tacoma
Ledger. Speaking of the old soldiers
he says they knew that during the
war the financiers made their bonds
payable in gold. and left the soldier to
risk his life on the battle field" The
bonds were not made payable in gold
during. the war, nor were they made
payable in coin until four or five years
after the war. Meantime the pay of
the soldiers was raised from eight to
thirteen dollars month. Apart from
this the question still remains for the
soldier, whether he wishes his pension
paid in good money or bad.

And No Other Way.

The party of bimetallism must be
the party of protection" Our "Silver
Republican" friend should consider
this well before voting for free trade.
A party that fails to protect other
industries will also fail to protect silver.
The Ledger is unalterably 70: silver,
but thoroughly believes in the assertion
of Mr.. Hyde, which is quoted above.
Protection and bimetalism will come,
fully, through the medium of republi

Public Debt Statement.

The monthly statement of the public
debt issued from the Treasury Depart
ment shows that at the close of bust
ness Aug. 81, the debt, less cash in the
treasury, was 1915, S,S47 1876, which is
an increase for the month of $12, ,342,-
6o4- This is accounted for by the loss
OF nearly exactly that amount of cash
on hand due to the excess of expend-
itures over receipts.
The debt is recapitulated as follows
Interest bearing debt, $S47 ,364, ,26O f;
debt on which interest has ceased since
maturity, ST, 1,622,960 debt bearing no
interest, 1875, 2,S56,476. This amount.
however, does not include 1858 ,456 ,237
IN certificates and treasury notes out
standing and offset by an equal amount
of cash in the treasury.
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows: Gold, $139 ,S25, 200; silver,
$9l3,647,7OO; paper, $177 ,933, ,56S !;
bonds, disbursing officers balances, etc
VII 1892 ,276, making total of $S49,
1885, ,746, against which there are de-
manded liabilities amounting to $685.
oo2,342, which leaves S243, ,346 400
cash in the treasury.
The interest bearing debt of the
government is shown by the Statement:
to have been $l,S12,149,O5O on March
l, 1885; $S44, ,460, $40 On March l, 1889 !;
$5O5 ,030, ,260 on March l, 1898, and
$S47 1854 ,260 on Aug. 81, 1896.

THOSE who nrate 40 mnc

THOSE who prate 80 much about the
constitutional dollar, says the Tacoma
Ledger, should read that portion OF
the constitution which declares that
ano state shall pass any law impair:ng
the obligation of contracts and then
read the democratic platform, and
then read over their much worn argu-
ment that what the states cannot do
the United States cannot do. While
they are trying to fit these together
they might be resting their tongues.

IT has been frequently pointed out,
says the Tacoma Ledger, that the sill
verites are demanding for the silver
mine owners protection that even
Mr.. Mckinley would not propose.
The American Economist, says on this
point: II ana for free wool says Free
Trader Bryan. Yet he is making his
campaign fight on the strongest form
of protection for silver" How is this,
Mr.. Bryan?

Silver assertion-Silver has not really
fallen in value, but gold has risen,
owing to its decreased output in pro-
portion to the growing volume of bust
ness transacted throughout the world.
The fact in the case-The worlds
production of gold in 1863 was 5 ITS 600
ounces in 1873 it was 4 $50. 900 ounces
in 1883 it was 1850 ounces; in
1893 it was ,609, 900 ounces; in 1894,
S,738,OO0 ounces. These figures are
sufficient answer to the foregoing asser-
ton.
Silver assertion-It is proof that
gold has appreciated because a gold
dollar today viii buy almost twice as
much wheat, more cotton, more pig
iron, more lead, more lumber, more
cloth, more railroad transportation,
more of most anything on earth than
it would have done 80 years ago.
The fact in the case-To the intro
dnction of labor-saving machinery
may be attributed the reduction of
the price of nearly every commodity.
Owing to the fact that the area of pro-
duction is restricted and that the
gathering of the crop must be done by
hand, cotton is less affected by labor
saving machinery than any other crop.
The price of this staple today is but
little lower than it was 80 or 60 years
ago. In 1873 the lowest price of cotton
was 7c; in 1S43-44-45-4S the lowest
price was SC; in 1858 it was SIC; in
1878, s 13-16c; in 1888, 9Ec; in 1890,
9 3-16c. Today it is S5c.
Silver assertion-It should be the
policy of this country to open her
mints and create coinage demand,
thereby increasing the value of her
own chief precious metal production.
The fact in the case-The immense
purchases OF silver by the United States
which commenced in August, 1890,
and extended up to the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
in October, 1893-4, 100000 ounces
per month-did not suffice to raise the
price of silver. In 1890, just after the
passage of the purchasing act and
before that law went into effect, specu-
lation advanced the price from SLOT
per ounce to $1.16, but directly the
government began buying the price
began to fall, dropping to $I.O8 in
October, 1880, $1.03 in November, and
SO on until October, 1893, when the
price was 73c. These figures are taken
from the mint reports.
Silver assertion-If gold had been
demonetized, if its fixed coinage value
OF 1922 grains to the dollar had been
abolished by law and the minis of the
world had been closed to it, its price
would have dropped as silver's has DONE
The fact in the case-The portability
of gold among other qualiti es has
always made it favorite and there
is no reason to suppose that if it we're
demonetized it would be less in de-
mand by nations and individuals as
an indestrnctible and easily transport
ed kind of property.-Dry Goods Econ
omist.

Mayor Caldwell in Receipt of Letter
Urging Action in this City and state.
Mayor Caldwell is in receipt OF let
ter from Mayor George B. Swift, Oh
Chicago. urging action by Governor
MacCorkle and the Mayor in the inter-
ests of the proposed Chicago-Southern
States Exposition, which is proposed to
be held in Chicago, probably in 1891
It is the present idea to have a ConYen-
ton, to be composed of five delegates
from each of the Southern States, TO De
appointed by the Governors, to meet IN
Chicago on the 10Th OF February, to
form a preliminary and permanent or
ganization and block out the general
size and scope OF the proposed EXPOSE
ton.
1t is the purpose of those at the head
of the affair to have at the Exposition
an exhibit Of the natural resources, the
manufactured and natural products, and
the industrial advantages of the South,
for the purpose Of attracting capital,
stimulating development and opening
new trade outlets direct to the con-
sumers of Southern products, and to
cultivate more friendly and business re-
lations between the Southland, the
West and Chicago, the proper distri-
buting centre of eighty per cent. OF the
Southern products.
Mayor Caldwell will do all in his
power to aid the NOV ement here.
