The following timely words are
from an address to Governor Mckinley
at his home in Canton by several hun
dred visiting women from Cleveland, o:
1--WE know that when you enter at the
door of the White House, peace and
comfort will enter at our doors; that
when you receive your heritage by the
decree of a grateful people, our hus-
bands and fathers will receive the
fruits of their industry, and the heart
of the wife and mother will be made
glad. When the husband lacks work.
the wife knows and feels it, though
she will still cheer and comfort; when
the factory fires are out, the fire on
the hearth burns low; when the spin
dies cease to turn, proverty and hunger
stalk through the streets by day; when
the anvil no longer rings, misery and
wailing brood in the home by night.
Every woman has living interest in
the money question. If our husbands
earn the money, we spend and intend
to spend it. Every thrifty woman
wants her few dollars to have
as great purchasing power as posi-
BILE, to be worth 100 cents, not so; to be
convertible into 20 pounds of sugar,

If there was any such scarcity Of
money or any such profit in national
bank circulation as is often represented
the issue of such notes would be much
larger than it is. According to the
statements just published four of the
national banks of Detroit, which are
authorized to issue 81, 800, 900 in notes,
have only $166, $50 out. The national
banks of the whole country, with an
authorized circulation of 1891, 421 ,94s,
had at the time of their last compiled
statements, only Sls2, 4s1 ,61O in actual
circulation. If there was any such
lack of currency as to make the circu-
lation profitable the banks would issue
more of it. The disease of the times is
not scarcity of money but scarcity
Of business. The remedy is not free
silver solution but the tonic effect of
protective tariff, with reciprocity
treaties.

A Good o. 0oll.

The charge is often made BY the Nv.
Gates of free silver coinage that
the Republican convention at st.
Louis shifted from the ground
upon which the party has
stood, and enunciated a new principle
on the currency question. Let us see.
AS early as 1861 the government made
an issue of treasury demand notes,
which were received by the govern
ment for all dues, but which were ut
first refused by bankers, railroads and
merchants. In order that they might
not be in any way discredited circular
was issued, stating that they would be
redeemed in coin at any of the sub
treasures, and Gen. Scott issued an
order to the army in the field, stating
that the troops would be paid in part
In these notes, but that the notes were
''as good as gold in all banks and gov
eminent offices throughout the United
States Aside from the subsidiary
coinage, gold was the only coin then
in use, and the wording of Gen. SCOTS
order shows that the Republican ad-
ministration of that time meant gold
when it said "coin."
1878 the director of the mint gave as q
reason that the silver dollar had been
practically out of circulation for 40
years, and that act simply recognized
in law what had for that long period
been the standard in fact, the gold
standard. Again in 1880 the Repub-
lican platform, upon which Garfield
was elected, gave as one of the acts for
which the Republican party deserved
commentator that it had raised the
paper currency of our country to 1.-The
par of gold.
The platform of 1884 made this
declaration: 1--WE have always recon-
mended the best money known to the
civilized world, and we urge that eff
forts should be made to unite all COM
mercial nations in the establishment
of an international standard, which
shall fix for all the relative value Of
gold and silver coinage; and that,
though with different wording, is prac-
tically the same ground as that taken
in the platform of 1896.
The party has always recognized
gold as the standard 1t has never ia
vored the free coinage of silver, but
only such use of that metal as was con-
sistent with its being maintained at
par with gold. 1t was under this pol
icy, united with that of protection,
that we had the prosperous times from
1883 to 1892, and it is this policy COM
bined with a return to protection and
reciprocity that will give us prosperous
times again

IL would hardly seem necessary to
reiterate the answer as To what III to
means but there are many who are yet
ignorant on the subject.
1t means that l6 ounces of silver for
debt-paying purposes shall be made,
gold.
One ounce OF gold will now coin
$3.50. Sixteen ounces of silver shall
be made to coin $3.50.
You can buy in any market today l6
ounces of silver for 1924. The profit
is 81 per cent. or 1896.
In other words, il man borrows of
you today $3.50 he can pay you, if
"free silver at 16 to |" becomes law,
with 1894.
Look out that it doesn't!
Silver is merely a commodity, like
tin, iron or wood.
II the government should say 1894
worth of wood shall cost $3.50 would
you buy it? Certainly not.
The silver dollar today is worth SO
cents. It's present ratio to gold is
about 81 to ]. All the governments
in the world cannot change the COM
mercial value of silver any more than
that OF coal, iron, tin or copper!
The more silver produced the cheap
er it will get!
Would England, France or Germany
take in payment Of debt from us for
$3.50, 1894, simply because our gov
eminent said that 1921 worth of silver
is worth $3.50 of gold?
Certainly not! No more than you
would accept such settlement of
personal debt.

BINIE TALIISM.

Those who persistently charge the
Republican party as being in favor OF a
gold standard should remember that
that party has always advocated BIZ
metallism and advocates bimetallism
now. The word bimetallism, " accord
ing to the definition of the Standard
Dictionary, means "the concurrent use
of both gold and silver as money at a
fixed relative value, established by
law" The currency of the United
States in all business transactions is
''the concurrent use of both gold and
silver as money at a fixed relative
value established by law" The rela-
tive value established by law is that 10
ounces of silver shall be OF the same
value as one ounce of gold when coined
in the minis. Bmetallism is not a
fixed relative value Of silver and gold
bullion. The relative value of the
coins is established by law. The value
of silver bullion is established by COM
merce. If silver, rs maintained by the
law of bimetallism, Is not basic or
primary money, then it is not a mon
ey of ultimate redemption. But it is "A
money of redemption almost to the ex-
tent of gold. Silver certificates to the
amount of 1886, 1913, $50 are redeemable
in standard silver dollars. Scarcely
more notes are in circulation redeema
BILE in gold. There is about the same
amount OF paper currency issued by
the government which is redeemable
in silver as there is paper currency re-
deemable in gold. The report OF the
secretary OF the treasury states the
total paper OF the government redeem
able in gold to be $4O0, OBS, 40, and the
total paper OF the government redeem
able in silver to be 1886, 3l3,0SO. IF one
is money of ultimate redemption then
the other must be. This is the ICON
current use OF both gold and silver as
money" and consequently is true BIZ
metallism. -Coldwater Courier.
