WHY NIsnNesOta ls fnr Gold.

Minnesota democrats declared I'M
equivocally for She gold standard.
They did SO unexpectedly. The big
delegations from Minneapolis and Du-
luth were pledged for sixteen to one,
and il was taken for granted the coun-
try delegations would favor free silver.
Why did they vote fo, gold?
Several reasons have been suggested.
The one most often met with is that the
formers are composed largely Of honest
and Intelligent Scandinavians and Ger
mans who cannot be caught with free
silver so!histry. AS over IS per cent,
of M!nnesota's population is foreign
born, this answer may be partly true.
A mere reasonable explanation, how
ever, is found in the reported state
rnant that large portion Of the farm
mortgages in Minnesota are made pay
able in gold coin of the United States
OF The present standard Of weight and
fneness." Being compelled to Fay
their debts in gold, the farmers wish
70 receive as good money when they sell
their products.
The fact that o far larger portion OF
mortgages viii contain the gold clause
next November than now may spoil
many votes for the sixteen to one
scheme,

The Free silver Coinage Hold-Up.

THIS bandit may not intend to shoot,
but he certainly has dangerous weapons
and while they are pointed at our cap
italists our industries will make but
slow and uncertain progress. But lit
tie new capital will be invested in indus
tries until it is practically certain that
such Investments are safe and that
they will not suddenly lose half their
valua by being measured in 50-cent dol
lars. Eemove all doubts as to the stand
ard Of value for the next ten years and
cur own capital will come out of its
hiding places; foreign capital will rush
to this country; old factories and mills
viii become active; new enterprises will
become undertaken; thousands, now
idle, will find employment; farmers will
find markets for their products; lner-
chants will have Use for their old, and
perhaps need new, clerks; in short,
times Will be good" Never was there
more capital in Europe ready for in
vcstlnent ut very low rates Of interest.
Earvests are promising and all cond;-
tons are favorable for prosperity eN-
cept cne-the sixteen to one threat
aimed at capitalists.

DISHONESTY NEVER PAYS.
Free Coinage Would Hurt Debtors as
Well as Creditors

Well as Creditors
"He needs a long spoon who would
sup with the devil'' is a good Old Span
ish proverb. It is one which should hc
remembered by all the voters who have
been deluded into favoring the free sil-
yer plan for robbing creditors by cut
ting the value of the dollar in two.
1t is unfortunately true that the
clearest proof of the dishonesty of
scheme which would enable men who
have borrowed 100-cent dollars to pay
back the loan in 5D-cent dollars does
not cause the men who favor it to
abandon their agitation. There was n
time when the people had only to be
shown that a certain, policy was dis
honest and immoral to secure its
prompt condemnation. But through a
short-sighted and foolish selfshness,
which seems to have blighted their
moral sense, a large number of persons
now openly declare their willingness
to repudiate debts. Free silver will
cheat creditors they say. ''Then all
the more reason why we should have
it,
Such men can only be reached in one
way. This is by showing them that
stealing from creditors is exactly like
stealing from any other property OWL
er, and that If this country once in
augurates a policy of confscating one
half of the property Of some men, 1t
will not be long before all property
rights will be assailed. How will this
s,nit the great majority OF the Amer
lean people, who all have some prop
erty and are trying to get more? Are
they ready to start in rohbing ON a
wholesale scale by debasing the cur
rency?
Even If cne-half of the debts in this
country were wiped out it by no means
follows that debtors would be bene-
fited. The par alysis of industry which
would follow the withdrawal of capital
would cause such suffering and loss TO
all classes that debtors as we'll as cred
ltors would be involvcd in the common
ruin. When the non who paid their
debts IN cheap silver went to borrow
more money. they would find that no
one would lend, unless at very high in
terest rates, sufficient to cover the
risk Of another repudiasion scheme.
Thus in the end the men who had
hoped to profit by dishonesty would
find themselves still poorer than they
are now. The attempt to cheat the
devil by robbing people of their prop
erty with a sixteen to enc law, instead
of stealing it openly. is miserable
trick. His satanic majesty cannot be
fooled in that way.

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON7
Some Test Questions for Undecided Vot-
ors to Consider.

OrS TO SOnaaelcc.
Are YOU opposed to a sudden contrac-
tion in the volume Of money now in
use? A free-coinage law would immedi-
ately drive out of circulation over $780,
100000 in gold.
Do you believe in stable measure of
values which shall be fair 10 both debtor
and creditor? The sixteen to one
scheme would put this country Oh
huctuating silver basis.
Have you money in the bank or loaned
out to anyone? Free silver would cut
the value of your savings in two.
Are you prepared to abandon the
monetary standard which is used by all
the great commercial nations of the
world and adopt that Of China, India
and other cheap labor countries? If not,
you should protest against free silver.
Do you believe that common honesty
demands that debts contracted in 100
cent dollars should be paid in money
worth as much as that which was bor-
rowed? Free coinage means the re-
pudiation OF one-half of all obligations.
Do you know of any way in which
estly, except by hard work? If not, you
should condemn the quacks who are
promising the people to make them all
rich by legislation which will debase
the currency.
Would you like TO see capital abun-
dant and interest low? Money is far
more plentiful and interest rates are
lower in gold standard nations than IN
the silver-using countries.
Do you consider it important to the
interests of trade and industry that
there should be no uncertainty In re-
gard to the basis Of the country's hnan-
ces? Then you must oppose the sense
less agitation which is checking the in
vestment of capital and depressing busi-
ness.
Would you like to see the purchasing
power of the workingmen's wages cut
down one-half by o currency law which
should declare that so cents worth OF
silver was ''dollar?" Under free coin
age this country would have silver
monometaliism, with double prices for
everything the workers buy.
Are you willing to bring on fnan-
cial panic, caused by the calling in Of
loans through fears of free-silver repu-
diation, merely for the sake Of trying
cheap money experiments which have
always resulted in disaster? If not, and
If you want an honest dollar and pros
perity, ycu should work and vote

SHORT CUT TO NEWS.

arisf Summary of the News Of the Week
Compiled for Tribuss Readers.

Gold men are not in it at Chicago.
Mr., Whitney had just as we'll went
b to Europe.
Forty five stars now appear on the
United States flag.
The republicans have Moses, but
he democrats want Joshua.
Hill, Flower, Whitney, Russell and
Fellows are only wall flowers at Chica-
10.
The National Reunion of Confederate
Veterans closed at Richmond last
week.
The Populist say that the democratic
bominee must be Teller or there will
be two tickets in the field.
Marion DeKalib Smith, gold stand
! rd man. has resigned from the Mary
|and delegation to Chicago.
It is said that Teller has not sit long
lnough on the democratic mourner's
bench to entitle him to seat in the
linen corner.
Bland is Methodist, but says if he
Kas half as good a Catholic as his
Wife is he would have no fears Of get
ling to heaven.
IT is easily to be seen why the silver
|ooters treated the sound money men
10 coldly. They want them to bolt and
put up a sound money democrat for
PRESIDENT in order that their support
will not go to Mckinley.
The Green Forest tribune., 1896-07-09
Chicago should Follow st. Louis.

Now if the democrats at Chicago will
only put as sound a money plank INFO
their platform as the republicans have
put into their platform at ST. Louis, but
little doubt will remain as to our fu-
ture standard of value, and capitalists
will at cnce begin to invest in American
securities and industries. This is the
s',rest and quickest way TO bring back
good times. Sound-money democrats
should rot give up the fight before the
battle occurs.
