WHAT "I6 TO I" WOULD MEAN.

Amid all the demagogsm of the day there Is
nothing at once more foolish and more wicked
than the talk about poor mems money" or
the money Of the people as distinguished from
the "money of the rich" Men of the Altgeld-
Bryan-John Most stripe are trying to persuade
voters that q currency Of fifty-cent silver dollars
while it might lessen the income of gold bug
mlllionaires" and "Wail Street sharks" would
greatly benefit farmers wage-earners and the
cc,1mon people generally. Now, apart from the
palpable wickedness Of a proposition thus to
set class against class, and to enrich one part
of the Nation by robbing another, little re-
Election will show 1t to be equally false and
delusive. and that these demagogues, in preach
ing plumber Of the rich are really plotting Tor
the further impoverishment Of the poor
There cannot practically be two kinds OF
money in circulation The money Of the rich
and the money of the poor must be the same.
The same money that the millionaire receives
from his dividends or coupons he must pay out
again to his employees and to tradesmen. If 1t
be gold. or currency at par with gold. then
gold is the money Of the poor man as well
ms of the rich If 1t be n deprecated currency
Of silver or paper. it is the poor mans and
the rich mans alike. If by any chance there
be in existence two kinds Of money, only one
of them. and that the poorer will be In actual
circulation. That Is law as inexOrable as the
law of gravtation itself The onehundred-cent
gold dollars would be boarded by every man
fortunate enough to possess them, whether the
rich man. with "A million Of them, or the poor
man. with a hundred and the ffty-cent silver
dollars would alone be In circulation
What then? Deprecated currency being uni

we NAV be sure, the rich men, against whom
these POpulist- Anarchists declaiin so vehement

might find It inconvenicnt to have II cut down
10 $4,000 But how about the man whose in
come is only 81 900? Would he not find 1t much
more nconvenient to have to get along on $500?
And the laborer who Is now getting 81 a day,
how would he fare on only 81? And the farm
or. when he got only 81 for the same amount
OF produce for which he now gets 50, what
would he think Of cheap money?
For be sure that Is exactly what II would
mean The free coinage Of silver at the 10 TO
1 ratio.would instantly drive gold and its equiv
alent out Of circulation and would leave In
circulation nothing but silver dollars and their
eouivalcnts. worth only fifty cents each. The
Iahorer would have to accept them for his
wages and the farmer rs the price OF his prod

The Poparchists have stolen Democratic con-
vention from the Democrats and Populist con-
vention from the Popusts, and with silver
mines for q campaign fund propose to present
the mine-owners a trihe of S3O,O0OOOO year.
The men who believe In fiat paper were cheated,
and the Democrats who believe in gold. BY
using the lawless spirit OF Western States as
tool the silver men snatched control OF the
Democratic convention. and by using the bogus
delegates from gold States and Democratic
States, and States owned by silver mlionaires.
they have bagged the Populist convention even
more easily. The obstacle in the path. the only
obstacle, the sufficient obstacle. is the Repub-
lican party.
