Bryan's Two Questions.

There are two questions which Orator
Bryan wishes to have answered. He as
serts that
"They are questions that will be asked
over and over again in this campaign.
They are questions we will be asked with
ever increasing emphasis. These two
questions are these:
II the gold standard is a good thing
why should we try to get rid OF IT, and II
the gold standard is a bad thing why
should we wait until some other nations
are willing to help US let go?"
II is a matter OF Indifference how often
those questions are asked. They will be
answered 10 quickly and fully that Bryan
will get sick Of asking them. There are
questions to be put to him, however,
which he will not answer. They will be
pressed home during the campaign, but
he will dodge them till the election is
over.
The answers to Bryan's questions are
as follows: The United States has the
gold standard now. 1t never had any
other except in greenback times. All the
money the country has besides gold has
been held at parity with gold for cigh
teen years. That means the gold stand
ard.
No honest money man believes that
standard is bad thing, nor is he trying
10 get rid Of il. The proposition TO act
in conjunction with other nations in an
effort TO elevate deprecated silver, and
hold it at the purchasing power Of gold,
is not proposition to abandon the gold
standard. II contcmplates the continued
maintenance OF that standard.
,f
adopt TO enhance the purchasing power
OF silver canuot be known until snch a
congress has acted. Bnt neither that
part in it will give up the gold standard.
Nobody contemplates such thing.
The Republican platform does not con-
template it. Bryan, in his catchy, de-
ccptive question, intimates that it does,
but his question can catch only fools, and
his side has monopoly Of them already.
So much for Bryan's questions. Here
is one for him TO answer. What does he
and his Popocrats mean by the catch
phrase in their platform about the free
coinage Of silver ''and Of gold, at the pre-
sent legal ratio of 10 to Il'
Why do they speak Of the coinage OF
gold at that ratioH Bryan has not enough
iu.puocnCe 10 permit nlru 10 ASSERT tHdt
gold would circulate with silver at that
ratio for five minutes. lie has not the
effrontery to allege that any gold would
be coined on the basis Of the ratio Of It
toI.
Bryan and his Pops know that ratio is
an impossibility. They advocate silver
Dononietallisin, which is the Alpha and
Omega Of their whole scheme. So they
use the words free coinage of gold" sor
hunbug purposes only. Before the cam
psign Of education concludes they will
wish they had left those words out.
But the question for Bryan TO answer
is: Why were those words put inl Why
was ''thc cross Of gold" recognized in the
platform?-Chicago Tribune.

Free Coinage.

Extract from Tom Reeds speech at
Alfred Maine, last week.
"Their remedy is the coinage OF silver,
II toI. What docs that mean2
Heretofore whenever gold and silver
haze stood together it has been at the
market value. When we tried to make
gold and silver circulate together we have
always married them according to their
market value Today we find them, not
IS to /, but 81 to /, and they are going,
they say, to lift silver TO twice its value,
not by the universal sense of mankind,
which alone makes values, but by the
statue Of the United States. single hand
cd against the civilized world.
Why should the United States try to
do this alone, won't discuss the ques-
ton whether the free coinage OF silver
will raise il to par or not. Very few peo-
pie claim that it will, and if they did |
could not believe them.
was told in 1890 by two of the most
sincere as well as the ablest silver men
that the purchase of 4,5oo,ooo ounces a
month would raise silver to par, and when
we did buy it, silver went down like lead.
Silver men have not been good prophets
in the past What VIC want is not more
money but more capital money always
comes with capital. We have money
now, more than we can use, lying idle.
We have just exported a lot of it. Money
is the transferer Of capital, as a hay rack
and horses is transferer OF hay. More
hayracks will never make more hay, but
more hay will require more hayracks.
Our capital is great, but the United
States is very much greater. There are
millions Of square miles and IS ,Ooo, 900 OF
people and undevcloped riches without
stint. But there is not capital enough To
keep IS 900, 900 Of people at work. When
are we the most prosperous 1t is when
the IS, 900, 900 are all at work, and when
that happens we borrow Of the rest OF the
world thousands Of millions Of dollars.
Now just as soon as this election is
over and the future position of the United
States is assured, both as to money and to
the employment Of our people, capital IS
ready to come to us from abroad and from
our own people, and we shall again be
prosperous.
