Postmaster Wilson Explains What Free
Coinage Means to Farmers.

Postmaster Wilson Explains What Free
Coinage Means to Farmers.
In recent letter to DR.. w. NJ. Gam
BILE, of Moorefield, W. Va, Postmaster
General William L. Wilson makes the
following clear statement of the real
meaning and effects of free coinage:
Free coinage of silver at sixteen to
one means that any private owner of
silver bullion may bring it to the mints
and have it coined without charge into
dollars of the present weight and fine
ness, which, of course, would there
after be worth as much as and no more
than the bullion of which they were
coined, which is now about SO cents
on the dollar. No gold would then be
coined, because with the bullion neces-
sary to coin gold dollar could be pur-
chased enough silver bullion to coin
two silver dollars. No one would use
gold dollars to pay debts which he could
pay with less valuable silver dollars.
The first effect of free silver would
be to drive out of circulation the $685.
100000 of gold and to sink all silver
and paper money to the standard of
the silver dollar. o.
There is no country in the world
that could make this sudden change in
it's money standard without plunging
headlong into an indefinite period of
panic, bankruptcy and distress, with
disastrous check to its development
and long idleness to its industries. The
hope held out to debtors that they
would be able to pay in cheaper dollars
would never be realized, because they
would be at once pressed for their debts,
and in such disorganization of trade
and Of all business they could not get
the cheapened dollars, and the idea that
free silver would give us larger cur
rency would not be realized, il ever,
in the lifetime of the present genera
ton.
THE farmer is urged to support free
silver on the ground that his products
have gone down with the gold stand
ard and would rise with the silver stand
ard. They would not rise as fast or
as much as the things he has to buy,
and he ought to see that, while wheat
and some other things have gone down
of recent years, it is because of the inn
mensely increased production and the
speed and cheapness with which all
parts of the world can carry their
wheat by steam car and steamship to
the markets which fix its price.
But farm produces, on the average,
have not fallen near so much as the
things which the farmer has to buy,
and labor has steadily increased in
wages in all the years of the gold stand.
ard, thus giving the laboring man, with
fewer hours of work, larger control
over the necessaries and comforts OF
life.

WALL STREET sHYLocks.
Who They Are-Enough of Them to De-
feat All Cheap Money Schemes.

Who They Are-Enough of Them to De-
feat All Cheap Money Schemes.
One of the many decisions back of
the free-coinage sophistry is that there
are a few wealthy creditors and millions
of poor debtors in this country. Upon
this assumption it is argued that cheap
money will make it easy for the mass
of debtors to clear their farms and
homes from the mortgages held by the
Shylocks of Wall street. Letus see now
who are these Shylocks and who are the
creditors of this country.
Everyone who has a deposit in a saw
ings or other banks, every holder of a
life insurance policy, every pensioner,
every member of a building and loan
association, every member of aid and
benefit associations, every owner of a
government bond, everyone whose sal
airy or wages are paid only after services
or labor is performed-these are some
of the creditor classes. These are the
Shylocks who have mortgage on this
country and who are to he done out of
half of their savings by the slick sixteen
to-one scheme. In truth these Shylocks
not only own the country, but they have
votes enough to compel the poor"
debtors to pay in honest money. Let us
enumerate some of them who hoard
their wealth in banks and loan it out at
"usurious" rates of interest," and see
how much they would lose under free
coinage and with 50-cent dollars:

"Put We of AZ Buffalo"

The title of this wellknown
song as we'll as the song itself
emanated from the brain of an
employee of the Buffalo Brewing
Company. That enterprising firm,
believing that a man who could
compose so catchy an air must
have large and we'll balanced
brain, straightway raised his sala-
ry. This has proven to be a good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their
beer, which is dispensed over the
bars of the Cosmopolitan, Pacific
and Royal saloons at the rate
of two glasses for 25c.; half
and half is also served at the
same price. 1t is always
