THE SILVER ISSUE IN A NUTSHELL


Many assume that the money question
is very abstruse one and difficult for
the ordinary mind to comprehend it. 1t
is made so only because of the crank
theorists who present every conceivable
phase of money that has been recorded
in history, from those who favor fiat
money, making copper or leather equiva-
lent 10 gold by the stamp Of the govern
ment, up or down to JO-cent silver dollars
made and maintained as legal tenders by
the government
None Of the many advocates Of sound
money have presented the silver issue 50
fully and so concisely in few words as
did Secretary Carlisle in his speech de-
Ivered at Memphis, Tenn, some months
ago. After giving a careful review Of
our variable financial system and the
financial systems Of the world, he sum
married. the whole silver issue in five
brief points as follows:
Firgt-There is not a free coinage coun-
try in the world today that is not on
silver basis.
second-There is not a gold standard
country in the world today that does
not use silver as money along with gold.
Third-There is not a silver standard
country in the world today that uses any
gold as money along with silver.
Fourth-There is not a silver standard
country in the world today that has more
than one-third as much money in circu-
lation per capita as the United States
have: and,
Fifth-There IS not a silver standard
country in the world today where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work.
The foregoing statements are undls-
puted. No one of them has been con-
tradicted by even the most fanatical Of
the silver freaks The statements are
absolutely true, and when the truth OF
these vital facts is admitted, argument
IN favor Of the free coinage Of silver
must end. Every free coinage country

the difference in grass grown on these
