The Boston Globe says: THE crime
of 1879 is charged with the decline in
the price of silver. The white metal
was 'demonetized,' and so, they say. its
value in the market was reduced. WHAT
are the facts? In the 1Sy years preceding
1873 the whole world produced only
a little more than seven times as much
silver as gold, or, say, $4,000, 900 ounces
of silver. to s5,OO0,OO0 ounces of gold
for that entire period. 1nthe year 1873,
when the great silver mines of the
United States were pouring out their
product, less than II tim.o as much sill
yer as gold was produceaR the world.
But after 1873 the worlds production of
silver increas ID with great rapidity.
For the last Is years it has been at the
rate of Just about twenty ounces of sill
yer to one ounce of gold. The figures
for these Is years are: Silver. 1,6s2.-
ooo. 900 ounces; gold, $4,000 900 ounces"

SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS
Surprised at tho Gathering Strength of

Surprised at the Gathering Strength of
the Coming Gold Standard Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 24.-Sound
money democrats from throughout
the country who drop into the head
quarters of the national democracy
here to look over the ground and size
up the prospects for the convention, de
clare that the movement is gathering
strength beyond their expectations,
and is developing a force they little
hoped for when they launched it.
1t is generally understood among
the members of the national commit
tee that the New York delegation
shall be permitted to name the tenn
porary chairman of the convention,
and it is the supposition that it will
select Bourke Cochran. For permanent
chairman there has been much talk of
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin, but dur
ing the last few days Villas has doomed
up in large proportions as POSSIBLE
ity for the presidential nomination,
and if this seems possible when the
convention meets, he will not be Sc
lected for chairman.
Among the more prominent demo-
Gratis from various states who have en-
gagged quarters for the convention are:
Ex Gov Roswell P. Flower and John
r. Fellows, of New York; Senator
Villas and Gen. E. S. Bragg, of Wiscon-
sin; Gov. Walter, Joel A. Sperry and
David A. Wells, of Connecticut; Gen.
Buckner, w. c. P. Breckenridge and
w. H. Haldeman, of Kentucky; j. H.
Cultivate, of Ohio; Gen. Palmer,
Comptroller Eckels and John p. Hop
kins. of Illinois; ex-Secretary Fair
child, of New York; Senator Gallery,
of Louisiana; ex-GoY. Jones, of Ala
bama; Gov. Whyte and Congressman
Raynor, of Maryland; Secretary Nor
ton, of Nebraska, and Senator Gray,
of Delaware.

asked to attend the Iowa sonnd money

was unable to do SO. In declining he
wrote the letter which follows
ARBoR LODGE, NEBRASKA Getty, Aug 20
L. N. Martin, Esq. MGrshalitowR, Ta.-
MY DEAR SIR-I have your highly appre-
eiated invitation on behalf of the provisional
state committee OF the sound money demo-
Gratis Of Iowa to address the national demo-
cratic state convention at Des Motnssr w ednes-
day. August 20, and regret exceedingly that,
owing to circumstances over which have no
control am not permitted to accept the same
Patriotism should prompt every good citizen
of the United States to do all in his power to
maintain the present gold standard for our
currency. 1t is q strange thing that any farmer
or other citizen Of the state OF Iowa (which
has neither silver mines nor gold bMlion) who
must buy money with cereals and meats,
should insist on being paid always only 10
ounces of silver instead OF enc ounce OF golo.
when they collect their dues from those who
have purchased their products. Why are they
unwilling to accept IL ounces OF silver instead
of 16 for one ounce Of golds Dealers In bullion
will give only one ounce OF gold for 81 or %
ounces OF silver.
Do the farmers and other citizens OF the
northwest know more about the real value OF
silver than those men who deal in the precious
metals!
But II legislation can create an artificial
value In silver for monetary purposes, why
can it not also create artificial value In
silver for the purpose of tbs artsg If.
after the free and unlimited coinage of
silver has been adopted by the govern
ment OF the United States, a silver dollar con-
tanning only SO cents worth Of bullion can be
made to float at q parity with gold dollar.
why cannot silver watch be made by statute
Just as valuable as gold watch costing twice
as much? II you can put value into silver for
monetary purposes, you can put value into
silver for art purposes-for plate and for
jewelry-wth equal facility by a simple be IL
enacted" by congress.
Hoping that the discredit, disgrace, dis
honor and dishonesty OF going on silver
| basis in the United States may be averted.
and predicting II it is not, those who may have
brought this disaster upon the country will be
| the worse sufferers. the most denounced by
| their countrymen and the most deSpised by
| their own followers. remain, very respectful

MONEY AND CREDITORS.
When the Measure Of Value Varies, the
LabOrer Gets the Worst of 1t.

When the Measure Of Value Varies, the
Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made political issue appeals more
strongly to our selfishness than the
money question. The value of all the
property we possess is expressed in the
terms of money, and not our property
only but our labor.
A horse, COW, corner lot, share
of stock, bond or a note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value 5y
money. They are worth so much. So
of our labor, whether in the profess
sions, the skillful trades or in more
manual employments. We are worth SO
much an hour or day OF week by the
services we are able to render, and we
are paid accordingly. The result is, it
we are not fools, that we want the best
money that circulates in exchange for
our services or our property, and the
less our income the more we want the
best.
The contention, therefore, seems un-
answerable that government or a
community should establish the high
est standard of money whereby to meas
ure those exchanges of labor and prop
erty which constitute the business of
the world If this is not done and the
measure of value becomes variable, who
suffers? The men who have large re-
cources behind them or the men who
have nothing but their hands and
brains? Most assuredly the latter. A
well-known banker of this town las
often been heard to say that the money
standard did not and could not affect
him, for he could make money whe ther
we were on gold or silver basis. So
he could, and SO can any capitalist. 1t
is the man who depends upon his labor
that would suffer by deprecated cur
rency.
It is the creditor class of the COM
munity, therefore, which is most inter-
ested in preserving the stability of the
currency and it's high value. But of
whom is the creditor class composed?
Manifestly of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the laboring people, the men at the
desk, at the counter, at the forge, at
the bench and at the pillow. The toiler
who patiently wields the shovel and
the pick when nightfall comes is a cred
flor, and he is entitled to be paid Tor
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round of employment where men
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that a
large proportion of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
bread, laying by perhaps trifie from
week to week toward a rainy day, de-
posting it i'll a savings bank-that
these should be led away by the cry for
cheap money? What do they want with
cheap money, or poor mans" money
III there is any difference, why should
they not have rich men'smoney?- Chi

A Gold Standard Demonstration In Free

COLORADO SPRINGS. Col, Aug. ca
Hon. s. w. Mccall, of Massachusetts,,
addressed an enthusiastic meeting of
600 republicans in this city last even
ing. He devoted his speech largely to
the silver question, and made an argu-
nent for the preservation of the ex-
listing standard. The democrats. he
said, pretend to be for bimetallism,
and offer the specious plea that we
ought to be patriotic enough to have
the financial policy for this country
distinct from the financial policy of the
rest of the world.
II should prefer an American sys-
tenn" he said, ''if we could have one;
but as between a European system
and a Chinese system, l prefer the
European"
He reviewed the coinage laws of
this country and showed that wages
will buy more now than they did in
1873. He alleged that the wage earn
ers are the greatest creditor class in
the country, instead of being a debtor
class. He closed with an appeal for
the restoration of the revenue policy
which made the United States pros
porous for many years. and of which
the embodiment and highest exemplar
is William Mckinley.
