The Magic Of the Word "Free.r

1t is difficult to understand how any
considerable portion of the people can
be so ignorant of the most vital question
now before them as to believe that
free" coinage actually means that by
some mysterious legerdemain the people
are to get something for nothing. And
yet it is undoubtedly true that large
number Of people who are following the
free silver ignis fatuus do SO because
their imagination has been captivated
by that magic word free" The man,
therefore, who expects to receive a dol
lar, whether of gold or silver or paper,
must have some product of labor to give
in exchange, and no financial system
worthy of its own respect has ever
claimed anything else. Under free coin
age not only must every dollar represent
at least an equivalent amount of labor,
but it will represent twice as much labor
and purchase just half as much com
modities as at present. Augusta (Ga-

making a strong declaration against free
coinage in the paper which it controlled
for one day.

ATiller Ct the Soil, having occasion to
bring Water long distance from a
Spring, used for that purpose Two-inch
Iron Pipe, which for many years sup
piled all the needs of his household and
barnyard One day an agent for Rocky
Mountain Iron Foundry came along and
urged the farmer to throw away the
Pipe which had proved so satisfactory
and buy one 80 inches in diameter II
perceive, " he said, THAT your Present
Pipe is entirely too narrow for the
amount of Water in the Spring. If you
will use our Big Pipe, you will have
twice as much Water as you get now"
1T is true, replied the farmer, "that
my Pipe is smaller than the Spring, but
as it now carries all the Water that rises
in the Spring, 1 can't see how bigger
Pipe would make more Water. The
quantity of Water delivered through a
Pipe depends a good deal on the rapidity
of the circulation. If l were to tear up
the Pipe am using in order to put
yours in, il would cost me q lot of
money for no purpose, and l would be
so much worse off. guess won't make
a change"
Moral. The agents of the silver
mine owners are making big mistake
when they try to fool the farmers into
believing that the use of a bulkier metal
to measure values would double the
quantity of wealth to be measured.

A FAIR WARNING.
GEORGIA BANKERS TELL DEPoSIToRs
WHAT WILL BE THE INEVITABLE
RESULT OF FREE COINAGE.
Bankers Want to Return to Depositors as
Good Money as Was Received-May BE
Prevented by the Awful Rush of Ruin
Which Will Precede Free Coinage Law.

The Georgia bankers have formally
declared that IAN immense majority of
the financial men in Georgia believe
that great calamities would befall the
whole country if certain very extreme
views about our primary money should
prevail" This of course means free
coinage by the United States.
IF these politicians succeed" say
the bankers of Georgia, I'VE wish it
understood that it was in despite of our
warning; that we to the last protested
that we wished to pay our depositors in
as good money as we got from them i;
that to the last we besought the disturb
ers of the peace of commerce to let con-
fidence in money revive, and when our
depositors rush upon us for their money
in advance of the passage of such a law
and in order to attempt to avoid loss
before the law depreciates their money,
and when to meet their imperative and
Just demands we are forced to press col
lectiOns and deny accommodations in
that awful rush of ruin, let it be remem-
bered that we begged to be spared the
calamity to ourselves and to the coun-
try"
Commenting upon this declaration,
The Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin of May ~ asks: "Will
= the planters and the politicians of
Georgia persist in their demand for free
coinage after this impressive protest
and warning addressed to them by their
own bankers? We fear they will, but
the immense majority Of the financial
men of Georgia ought to be able to de-
feat the politicians if they cannot deter
them"
This declaration" says the same
paper, "is evidence enough of what we
have so often said, that the silver ques-
ton is not sectional; the commercial
classes of the west and south are gener-
ally sound on it; the issue is one be-
tween the commercial classes who know
something of the operations of monetary
legislation and the farmers of the non
commercial states who do not know,
and the politicians who do not even care
so long as they can raise an excitement
by means of which some of them can be
elected to Office.
Continuing it says that most Of the
free silver talk is, due to an inability tC
understand the facts underlying the
question is illustrated by the protest o.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal, thai
the idea that the silver men would ex
pei gold from use as money is entirely
gratuitous, inasumch as such has nevel
been their intention or desire TIL,
Commercial Appeal is quite unable t,
understand how gold would be expelled
unless law were passed to that effect
1t is immaterial what the silver mel
intend or desire if they succeed in set
ting in motion the forces that would in
evitably end the monetary use of golC
in this country. The paper has com
plete set of financial opinions which i
does not hesitate to insist on against tn

so little acquaintance with either the
theory or the history of money that it
does not even understand what is meant
by the statement that free silver would
drive gold out of monetary use. Of
course it never heard of Gresham's law.
