WHY HE LEAVES HIS PARTY.
An Old-Tfme Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.

An Old-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.
Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
a lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as a presidential
elector on the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action he
gave the following:
1t is merely 1altering with the truth
to pretend to acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying 90 make the product of
a days labor in silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of days labor In a gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
of days woGl, in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To affix
AN artificial value upon silver ore is q
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender il is done at the expense of
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies of different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was fayorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that a high rate of
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is a chance that when he
lends a bar of gold he may be forced
to take payment in a bar of silver, just
as the owner of horse will hesitate to
lend it with chance of being given in
return a sheep or a pig. That is all
there is in bimetallism as practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, SO stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they
got.

TRYING TO DODGE.
Candidate Bryan Appeals to National
Prejudice.

Candidate Bryan Appeals to National
Prejudice.
In the speech which gained him the
democratic nomination for president
Hon. w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, said, in
reference to what he termed 1.-THE great
paramountissue:" MY friends, we shall
declare that this nation is able to leg
islate for its own people on every ques-
ton without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation on earth,
and upon that issue we expect 10 carry
every single state in this union"
If this means anything il means that
the paramount issue" on which the
silverite campaign is to be fought is
not free silver at sixteen to one. but the
question whether this country is able
to legislate for its own people. On this
issue there can be no dispute. Of course
the United States can legislate without
the aid or consent of any other country.
No advocate of sound money win for a
moment deny Mr.. Bryan's assertion,
nor has anyone ever done so. If con-
gress chooses to pass a law that the
tides shall never rise more than four
feet along any part of our seacoast. it
has a perfect right to do so. If the
United States wishes to enact legisla-
ton forbidding the Russian thistle to
grow, it is able to do so without the
consent of any other nation. IF con-
gress chooses to fix the price of sugar
at four cents per pound, it can legislate
TO that effect without any aid from
hated British or Frenchman. There is
no doubt about our ability to legislate
on every question without asking any
body's consent,
But if congress passes foolish laws
viii they have any effect? That is the
real issue. Can the price of such a COM
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws?
Certainly not. Equally impossible
would it be to fix the price of silver at
sixteen to one of gold. No believer IN
sound money thinks or says that we
cannot pass a free and unlimited six
teen to one coinage law. They do say.
and all the experience of mankind
proves that they are right, that under
such law this country cannot alone
maintain the value of silver at the pres
emit ratio.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability to
raise the value of all the worlds silver
without the agreement mot consent, as
he states it) of the great commercial ma
tions shows the weakness of the silver
cause. Confusing the ability to legis-
late, which nobody denies. with the
ability to control values by legislation
may do for stump speech. 1t will not
deceive the American people, who know
well enough that our laws cannot fix
the value of silver or of any other labor
product.

False and Misleading Assertions by the
Democratic National Convention.
The declaration of financial princi-
pies put forward by the democratic ma
tional convention is a shrewd mixture
of cheap money delusions, half truths
and wholly unfounded assertions. Its
alleged statement of facts has frequent
~ been shown TO be untrue; in spite of
this they We're deliberately indorsed by
majority of the representatives of the
democratic party. Since the standard
raised at C'icago will be used to rally
all the forces of silverism, fatism, curt
rency debasement and debt repudia-
ton, it becomes necessary to refute
once more the statements on which the
American people are asked to support
the democratic candidates. This can be
briefly and effectively done by COM
parison of the assertions of the Chi
cago platform with the simple facts.

make anything but
gold and silver coin
a tender in payment
of debts"
The denial OF the
right of the states to
make anything but
gold and silver legal
tender is very far
from naming those
m e I a ! S a S { h e
money metals of
the United States. +"
In no other part of
the constitution is
gold or silver even
mentioned.
The first coinage
law passed by con-
gress made both gold
and silver coins the
unit or measure of
value. The Spanish
milled dollar w a 8
made the unit of
number, but t h e
coinage of gold was
based on a fixed
number of grains of
gold. and not on a
ratio with the silver
dollar.
The coinage law of
1873 was passed after
three years discus
sion in congress, and
1t was printed 10
times in the course
of its enactment.
The speeches in both
the house and senate
during the proceed
ings ON the bill show
that the change was
made as openly as
any other law ever
passed by congress.
There is no proof
that gold has appre-
ciated. Measured by
its labor cost-that
is, the amount of
labor necessary to
obtain a given guam
tity of it-gold is
cheaper to-day than
in 1873.
The free coinage
of silver bullion, of
which 80 ounces are
worth less than one
ounce of gold. into
legal tender dollars
at q ratio of sixteen
to one gold dollar,
would at once force
this country OH a
silver basis and thus
bring about the
m o n o m e I q i ism
which the silverites
pretend to oppose.
II is also the poll
cy of France, Ger
many, Austria, tia
ly, Belgium, Switzer-
land and other civ
ilized nations. Sill
yer monometallism,
which would be the
certain result of free
coinage at sixteen 10
one, is the policy of
China, India, Mexi-
co and Japan. Are
the gold using or
silver using coun-
tries the most en-
lightened and pros
porous and worthy
of being initiated by
Americans2
This is a demand
that silver worth
only 50 cents shall
be declared equal
in value to a gold
dollar worth 100
cents in face of the
fact that the rest of
the world refuses to
join in sSta bliShing
an arbitrary ratio
between gold and
silver 1t is also a
demand for legisla-
t i o n making debts
contracted on a 100
cent basis payable
in 52-cent dollars. 1t
is a frank assertion
in favor of debasing
I h e currency by
adopting the cheap
silver standard. It
means That one na11
of the property of
the millions of cred
itors of the country
shall be taken away
from them by law.
