FREE COINAGE.

Secretary Gage, the treasury at Washing
ton, ONES on and says that under free coin,
age the bullion value and the coinage
value are and must be identical" This is the
doctrine that bimetallists have all along been
proclaiming, but il has been denied by the
single gold standard gentlemen. Bimetallists
have maintained that the reason of the decline
in silver bullion is that the leading govern.
ments Of the world have combined to not
recognize silver as standard with gold and so
knock II out as standard, redemption coin.
Gold standard lights and authorities, like
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, have been
declaring that honest coin money must be
worth as much when melted into bullion and
so by this test they have condemned silver.
The true test for honest money is that which
will neither defraud the creditor nor rob the
debtor. So that it is the dollar that changes
not in purchasing power that is honest This
is the true measure and to keep this measure
| true, the volume of money must be increased
as population and business increase and re.
quire more money. This volume Of money
depends on the supply of the precious metals,
and when silver was cut down, gold was the
only measure and hence the increase in the
purchasing power of gold coin, and the depre-
citation of commodities and other things.
Let us have free coinage of silver as well as
gold, and this would increase the supply of
money, would cheaper it, that is, raise prices
thereby relieving debtors, whose debts have
been greatly increased by giving gold full sway
and appreciating the same. Gold and silver,
as standard, would be safer in every way than
either alone. The double standard acts as a
swing, and is self regulating. Money mag.
mates cannot corner the double standard as
they can the single. Mr.. Carlisle was right
when he said. "demonetizing silver was the
greatest crime of the age"
Mr.. Gage and such gold advocates are afraid
of the retIrn to free coinage. These gentle.
men were not afraid to get away from free
coinage, and they rack their brains to
prophecy dangers, but they need not trouble
themselves in this way Their single standard
is the danger By the constitution silver coin
is legal tender the same as gold, and when we
have an administration that will obey that
document and have a silver reserve with which
to redeem demands against the government
and so protect the gold reserve somewhat the
rush for gold to go abroad will not be trouble.
some. We must get back to first principles
and honest ways, and thus protect and save
the American people. More than gold has
silver in all ages been the money of the world,
the money of the people and hence the money
of actual business. Gold has never been in
general circulation and is not today, The fall
sites and outrageous selfshness of these gold
magnates exceed all decency.

The London Standard, commenting on
the actian of the Bank of England in its
purpose to use silver bullion and coin
for one fifth of their reserve, says:
"Why on earth should we help the
United States out of their currency di.
lelnmas at the expense of our own
credit? Have they ever shown the least
desire to help us in any way?" Well,
never, or scarcely ever except when Ohm
Sherman boosted the Bank of England
in 1878 by the demonitization of silver,
and Grover Cleveland rendered a like
service twenty years later, by fore
ing the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law. But this is enough
service for the United States to give to
the Bank of England for the next CEN
tury. Never before in the history of the
Republic were we so traitorously treated
by eminent citizens. No thank you we
have ample plenty.

WE TOLD YOU so.

The Iron Trade Review, of Cleveland a
strong advocate of protection and supporter of
Mckinley and Hanna says of the prosperity
that is coming. "Wage reductions are certain
ly feature Of the new prosperity. This re.
duction will be permanent. Labor will have
to get used to it. The prosperity of the future
will consist rather in having much to do than
in having large profits or high wages"
We're real glad.
Of all the words that bring us woe,
The saddest are these: Il told you So"
Predictions made by the silver men last year
that continuation of the single gold standard
meant lower wages, less comforts and more de-
grading conditions, wereno believed by many
workers in the shops and factories of Canton.
At least that would seem to be indicated by
the vote for Mckinley in this city last Novem-
Der. The statement by the Hanna organs
this year is that wage reductions are feature
of the new prosperity and that no hope can be
held out for an increase in wages, but that the
tendency is rather to a further decrease which
will be permanent, and that the labOrers will
have to get used to it.
Yes, they will have to get used to it, but in
stead of steady work TO meet foreign demand
in competition with the pauper labor of
Europe which the McKinleytes have SO long
and so persistently warned our people against,
the steady work at even starvation wages will
be myth, The ability 10 consume the pro.
ducts OF their hands will be denied them.
The surplus products of the United States in
competition with the lowest priced labor OF the
world will set the wages of our people. Then
we will have destrOy ed the last vestage of hope
in the breasts Of our wage workers and pauper.
lied a nation. We are glad that due notice
has been given to the wage worker and every
body depending on him, that a continuation
of the gold standard means the destruction of
our liberties, for this is what continual falling
prices and low wages mean.
As well try to instill love of country into a
black slave goaded to desperation by the i'll
treatment of cruel and tyrannical master as
to attempt to make a contented and happy
people, where their environments drive them
into discomfort and crime and their natural
love of God and their feilowman is stiaed with
the hatred of both.
Due notice has been given to the wage
worker that the new prosperity means lower
wages, harder conditions and less happiness,
The authors of this new form Of prosperity are
asking endorsement.
