THE SILVER QUESTION INANUTsHeLL
Free Coinage of Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Ptice.

Did you ever stop 10 think what
would be the result If the government
should by legislation determine that or
binary building bricks by 4 by )
inches in size should be legal tender III
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range 10 have them so stamped In any
quantity free Of cost TO the persons pre-
senting themI
Under such circumstances the price
OF building bricks would at once advance
10 81. 900 thousand. for If they could
be "coined" without cost the bricks
"uncoined" would be worth just as
much ~ the COINED" bricks--fl each.
But did il ever occur 10 you that II
would not b. an advance in the value OF
the bricks, but decrease IN the value
Of the dollars, which would thus estab-
lish "A new parity between money and
property;' that under such system
81 900 would be worth only 1000
bricks: that that 1000 bricks would
exchange for no more commodities or
labor than it does today. and conse-
uuently that $1,000 would mean no
more 10 us than 1000 bricks do now!
In other words, our government can
determine hy legislation what commod-
ity and what amount OF that commodity
81 shall be, but il must leave II 20 the
laws Of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost Of production. etc. TO de-
termine what the value OF that com
modify shall be-. 1t may declare that

Why Capital Il Timid Today.

There is capital enough for every
legitimate business enterprise, and by
the processes Of credit 1t can be multi
piled indefinitely, but 1t cannot be set
at its work so long as men fear that 1t
will be- suddenly cheapened IN the using.
Capital brings no return to the owner
unless he somehow puts it at the service
of the community. hut the tempting
lure the lenders follow is profit, and
when the risks are great the profits
must also be great. Remove the thought
of risk. and boarded capital will be set
free, mills will start up. railroads un-
dertake extensions and improvements
and hopeful enterprises commend them
selves 10 investors As il is, pending
the decision of the value of the dollar,
no one is spending. everybody Is hoard
ing. We live from hand TO mouth, with
the machinery Of prosperity idle at our
doors. BOSTON Congregationalist.

An ob,ec, Lesson In silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each of them than IN
the American dollar | bought both of
them for that What is the reasons The
sole reason Is that our dollar Is limit
ed coinage, backed by gold. There Is
another coin. That Is French franc
piece. paid 80 cents for that II car
ries a little less silver than the Ameri-
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard coun
tries. They keep in circulation thou
sand millions Of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar Of gold in circulation. The gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard country
can keep no gold. That is the example
Of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free coinage country. Gold and sill
yer both circulate in the gold standard
countries. Prom Speech by Senator
Lodge.

Farmer. Want Cheap Money.

The advocates OF free coinage IN thei
west and south don't take any stock
In Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends" that the adoption Of this
policy would put up the price Of silver
to sl.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation II they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was 20 be worth a. much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments Of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by James Kitchen. an extensive
farmer and stockman Of Grayson, KY,
who. when asked the other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
am for free silver because am In debt,
and IL We get free coinage can pay my debts
with one-half VI what u now costs under our
pre- ent money standard. And another reason,
I employ laborcrs On my farm. They are the
creditors. I am the debtor. Under free coin
| ag. can nay them with one-half II costs ms
| now, for IL will raise the price OF products,
| and can thcn hire my farm help for ~ cents
| n day and pay them in bacon st Is cents
pound.
It must become more and more plain,
rs the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result OF the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty Is
the best policy.
