GARDEN CITY Sept. 18th.

GARDEN CITY Sept. 18th.
Editor FREE PRESS:
The two great political parties
have Joined issue and the case is be-
fore the people for trial and il seems
to be the field against the Republican
party as was the case at the lasu presi-
Dental election.
The question to decide is simply
this, shall we support a party that
took possession of the government at
the beginning of the war when it was
almost financially bankrupt, carried
on the war to successful conclusion,
established a system Of finance in
which the people have perfect faith,
every kind of dollar being worth an
even hundred cents. This party has
controlled the affairs Of the govern
ment for nearly thirty years and
never in its history has it been blessed
with such prosperity as during this
period
From the day that the telegraph
flashed the news of Cleyeland's eiec-
tfon our troubles began. 1t is not
necessary TO state what followed. Our
pinched incomes, silent factories and
the country filled with tramps tell
the story. Tariff reform has been a
costly failure and is practically laid
upon the shelf.
What next? Some shibboleth must
be found, and that somewhat cratic
party, the POpulist, promptly came to
the rescue with an offer of partnership
if they would support their platform
which includes about all the visions
AND bombastic declarations for which
that party has become famous and if
carried out would certainly destroy
public and private credit and would
aggrAvate ten fold the sufferings of
the people from the effects of some
such measures for the past three years.
They have great deal to say about
the money of the constitution and
the ancient place of silver by the side
OF gold. VIII they please give date
when the two metals circulated upon
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-09-18

edp.o,l terms as full legal tender money
with tue minis open to the free and
unlimited coinage of both? The
writer was farmer in Wisconsin and
Minnesota from 1852 to 1873, and
handled as much money probably as
an ordinary farmer and during that
time was not the possessor of one
American silver dollar, and in fact
of 1873. 1t is safe to say that the
average farmer receives more Ameri
can silver dollars in three months
now than did the same class in life
time at at any period before 1873
Now il the coinage of the conStitu-
tion means anything it is that Con-
greSs made the coinage ratio the same
as the commercial ratio, as Congress
has never authorized any other, and
to return to it's commercial ratio now
arguments used by our Populist
made by Bryan during his eastern
pie that underlies it all? 1t is that
the law of supply and demand applies
to money as to everything else, you
huOW uHdU IL UHC WOI CIOp VI a Jul
tain article is very much greater than
the crop this year, that article will
fall in price. If the crop is much
smaller than this year that article
will rise in price. You know that the
law of supply and demand reaches and
controls all sorts of property; it
reaches and controls money as well as
other forms of property"
In the same speech he says: ''Do
you know what they overlook? They
overlook the fact that when we bring
it into competition with gold we in
crease the supply of standard money
and that the silver dollar will be
be worth as much as the gold dollar"
Not very logical, but then he is only
boy.
1t does seem to me that it would be
very unwise TO try this experiment
which has not one sound argument or
precedent in it's favor and the expert
ence of the world against it, and that
every lover of his country should lay
aside for the time being all party pre-
ferences and vote solidly for sound
money and good government.
