In this country we had the
free coinage OF silver from
1892 to 1873, and during all
that time our silver dollar was
worth as much, if not more, in
the markets OF the world as
our gold dollar. Indeed, al
the demonstration of silver by
the United States our silver
dollar was at a premium of !
per cent. over our gold dollar,
and nothing has transpired
since that date to change the
parity between the two metals
if they had been left unob-
structed by law. There is nc
doubt that the production Of
silver has increased. but moi
to the extent OF gold. tor the
gold mines of the world have
produced and are to-day pro-
ducing a greater per cent o.
gold when compared with
silver than they did when
silver was demonetized, in
1873.

THE Populists in National
convention at St. Louis last
week endorsed the candidacy
of Hon. William Jennings
Bryan for President of the
United States and nominated
for Vice-President Exon
gresham Tom Watson of
Georgia, a staunch Populist.
Gold Democrats and Republi-
cans are trying to make fun
OF the Democratic candidate
for being thus selected as the
preference OF the Populist
party for President, but their
smile has 4 funeral-like ap-
pearance. They are scared
out of their boots and well
they may be, for it now looks
like Bryan will sweep the
country. Even Senator Sher-
man recognizes the dangers
and has sounded the warning
for all Republicans to go to
work, that the people have
got the silver craze more
than most people in the East
have an idea of. Senator
Sherman will find out before
he goes far on his campaign
ing tour that the farmers and
laboring men are thoroughly
aroused to the gravity Of the
political situation in this coun-
try and neither he nor Mr..
Whitney can turn them back
from their determination to
take a hand in running this
government. Every man in
Worcester county now has an
opportunity to make his vote
count for his own interest in
stead OF the interest of the
money spectators. Will you
do it? If SO get registered and
on the I'd Of November cast
your votes for Bryan and
Sewall.

WHAT IT WILL DO.

A Constant Reader asks us to say
what the free and unlimited coinage of
silver would do.
Answer-These are some results
which would certainly follow:
AS the product of gold and silver
mines is nearly equal in their coinage
value, the free coinage of silver and
the full restoration OF its money func.
ton. the volume OF legal tender coin
would be doubled.
Ii would restore to their former COM
mercial value the farms of the country
and give better prices to all farm
products. 1t would have the same
effect upon factories and their products
as upon farms.
1t would encourage new enterprises,
which would give better and more
constant wages to all wage earners.
1t would give instant relief to the
thousands of enterprising men who are
now on the verge Of bankruptcy,
occasioned by shrinking of the money
volume and a corresponding shrinkage
in the commercial value of the products
of industry.
1t would enable the worlds toilers
to consume more of the necessaries, and
enjoy more of the comforts Of life, as
silver has always been the money of
those who create wealth.
1t would lessen the demand for
corporation or bank currency. A
credit money which cannot be had
without paying an interest for its use,
compelling the producer TO share his
honest earnings with the nonproducer.
Bankers who supply the currency can
sojourn at Saratoga or Long Branch
at the expense Of those who use bank.
ers' debts as money.
1t would enable the taxpayer to
meet the assessments made upon him
for the support of our extravagant
Government.
1t would enable the Government
more easily to pay the bondholders,
the salaried officers, the annuitants by
utilizing one OF the precious metals
laid up in store for us by wise and
benefcient Creator.
The rapid increase of our popula-
ton, the enlarged area of circulation,
the division and subdivision of our
industries, the discoveries and inven.
tons by which products are multi
piled contribute to making gold an
insecure and inefficient basis for
Government credit money. If silver
is coined free and without limit it will
furnish a sure and safe foundation,
with gold to support issues Of govern.
ment paper money.
The free and unlimited coinage of
silver will enable Congress to maintain
in good faith the requirements of the
Constitution and entitle the American
Government to the proud distinction
given it by Baifour. one Of the great
est English statesmen. He said "The
American Government stands first in
rank in the civilized world for its
adherance to the institutions handed
down to them by their forefathers,
and furnishes remarkable example
of National pride and National
strength"
With these suggestions our constant
reader can add to the benefits which
will attend or follow the free and un-
United coinage Of silver Cincinnati
