Getting it in Circulation
How, Under Free Coinage, Silver Would
Get Into the Hand. of the People.

How, Under Free Coinage, Silver Would
Get Into the Hands of the People.
Many correspondents ask for informa
tion on this point, and II brief answer
Will be given.
Under free coinage the owner of sill
yer bullion would take il to the mint
and have il coined into dollars With
these dollars he would pay his employ
ees, purchase his supplies, pay his taxes,
debts and all other expenses. The per
sons thus receiving them would in like
manner pay their debts and liabilities
and meet their expenses. Thus it would
make its rounds and find its way through
the entire community.
Not only would it at once enter into
circulation, but il would have the effect
Of bringing large amount of money
iD.o use that is now lying idle. As sill
yer fioated out into the channels of
trade il would raise prices and stimu-
late business. When prices rise. money
always comes from its hiding places for
investment. When property is going up,
men will buy it. expecting TO reap
profit from the rise. When prices ad
vance-when property becomes dearer-
it means that money is getting cheaper.
Therefore men who have money are anx-
ious TO avoid loss by converting their
money. which is falling. into property
that is rising
This explains why it is that i'll sea
sons of falling prices and business stag
nation there always seems TO be super
abundance of money-that is, large
amount of idle money for which there
is no use.
When property values are falling, the
man with money holds on to it. He
says. IF buy now, the property will
shrink i'll value. and will lose. So
will wait until the bottom mark is
reached" But rs soon rs il gets TO the
bottom he will buy, provided always
that he sees a chance for an upward
movement
There IS scarcely a reader Of The
National Bimctallist who has not acted
upon this principle, and who does not
act upon it every day.
Briefly and concisely stated. the prin-
ciple is this: When prices are falling.
it is advantageous TO hold ON TO our
money if we have any. When prices are
rising, il pays better To invest the money
in property or i'll some productive enter
prise
The argument % by the gold people
that if we had free coinage the poor
man would not he able to get any IF the
money coined presents another of their
innumerable absurdities and contradic-
tions. In one breath they insist that the
poor man will be loaded down with
cumbersome 80 cent dollars and i'll the
next that he will not be able to get any
of them, even if they be coined.
1t ought to be apparent that if silver
bullion cannot be coined it is utterly
impossible for it TO get into circulation.
If it can be coined. there is at least
chance for us all to get some of it. Let
us take that chance. National Dimet-

Genuine Patriotism.
We are confronted by money power
that is seeking to fasten upon the pcn-
pie of this country an English yoke We
are now i'll the midst of the graveSt crisis
that ever confronted this republic. In
1861 the Union was confronted with
dissolution which meant anarchy in re-
spect to government and u perpeiuation
of the African slavery. In 1896 we are
confronted with the question OF pcrpct-
ually onslaving the white race. We are
confronted with the question whether
we shall install the English Shylock rs
IA taskmastcr over all the generations of
Americans that are yet To cone We are
not proposing TO wrong anybody. We
| are proposing tn give every man his due.
We are not suggesting experiments. We
are demanding Il return To the expert
ence of the world for thousands of years,
and we say that this experiment of try
ing To force the nations Of the earth on
TO gold basis for the benefit of Euro
pcan creditors is running the American
people
We propose to pay back the English
creditors i'll the same money they gave
us-gold and silver. We propose To give
them dollars that shall have the same
purchasing pow cr, that will buy as much
! property and as much labor of every
kind as had the dollars which they gave
us-money having xactly the same pur-
chasing power. Wcpropose to pay them
principal and interest i'll the same money
exactly which they gave us. and we say
that their acts i'll getting silver demon
etized and gold made dear, after they
had succeeded in getting our bonds and
our notes. so rs TO compel us 10 pay in a
different kind of money from what they
gave us. to pay i'll dollars which cost
twice rs much sweat. twice rs much
blood, rs did the dollars which they gave
| us-we say that that act was fraud
and was crime against civilization.
This is not n partisan question. 1t is
not question of Republicanism or of
Democracy. John Sherman and Grover
Cleveland are sleeping together Ii is
aqueStion of patriotism Ii Is question
of maintaining the institutions of the
fathers for if the present standard il 10
be- maintained. if our people must go on
paying interest and principal in dollars
that require twice as much labor, twice
rs much sweat, twice as much blood 10
obtain. rs did the dollars that were in
circulation when the debts were created,
then the doom of the American pro-
ducers is sealed. Low prices will be
made perpetual, and there will be no
hope for the American farmer, the
American mechanic or the American

Feud Settled BY Marrlaa ae

A feud lasting over ten years,
in which blood was twice s ILL
ed, once on a church step, has
ended by the marriage of Will
lam Hyland and Jessie Potter
at Maidstone, Ont. A decade
ago William began to court
Jessie, and her parents seriously
objected, even to the point Of
kicking Hyland from the house,
setting the dog on him, blazing
away at him with a shotgun,
and later attacking him on the
church steps. The church, even
were divided on the affair;
families were set against each
other. and two or three court
cases grew out Of it. Hyland
had perseverance and Jessie
was constant, and, despite the
combinations of clubs, shotguns
and fierce dogs, they succeeded
in ending their ten years court
ship. When Jessie's father and
brother heard Of the ending they
decided that Hyland had fairly
won his bride, and sent word to
! i'm 70 come over to the house,
that all was forgiven.
Maidstone people are signing
psalms Of rejoicing over the
happy elimination Of the long
fight.
