JUDGE FRENCH ON SILVER.
He Repudiates Repudiators and Talks
Plainly About Money.


Judge Nathaniel French, temporary
chairman of the Democratic state con-
vention which met at Des Moines on
Aug. 2 and which declared for "the
honest payment of our debts" and for
"a sound and stable currency, spoke
In part as follows:
'Since Jackson's administration and
through its act We have had the gold
standard, excepting only the period of
suspension of specie payments. Our
debts, both public and private, have
been contracted on that basis, and COM
mon honesty requires that they shall be
repaid accordingly. The cry Of the Chi
cago convention for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the false ratio
threatens us with wholesale reputation,
panic and ruin. This cry is supported
by the claim that the government is all
powerful and by its mere fiat can dou-
BILE the value of silver and make and
keep the silver dollar the full equal of
the gold. Some men honestly believe in
this miraculous power, but what they
really want is not free coinage Of silver,
bat free coinage Of paper.
"Others favor this ratio as an easy
way of paying debts. Others, made des-
perate by present conditions. are willing
to risk any change, hoping for better
times. Ignorant of the fact that the
present hard times are mainly due to
this agitation, they are willing to try
bigger dose of the stuff which has poi
soned them. Others. whose main object
in life is to break into office, regard it
as a means of getting public job. Be-
hind all these is the greedy, crafty CO.
terie of millionaire silver mine owners,
furnishing the funds and pulling the
wires.
1.-THE silver men say our money is too
good and too scarce. They would make
it poor and plentiful. The trouble, how
ever, is not due to scarcity Of money,
but TO scarcity Of confidence. Our mon
ey has increased faster than population,
but the silver agitation has awakened
distrust. The remedy is to restore con-
fidence. Capital will seek employment
freely only when sure that it will not
be confscated, when sure that the re-
turns of the venture will be in the same
good money invested.
Wealth is the product of intelligent
labor. Tho better the tools used and the
more brains mixed with the labor the
greater the result, but first of all assur
ance is needed that half the tools will
lot be stolen. The good money Of the
gold standard is the best tool Of COM
merce and used by the leading ma
tions. The best is none too good for the
American people. and the financial tools
Of Mexico and China are out Of place
here
"Silver has its proper use in the
minor transactions of commerce, and
when maintained at a parity with gold,
through limitation of coinage and other
safeguards, serves as useful tool, which
no one would discard. The use of silver
with gold in this way furnishes the
only practical bimetallic currency"

Bryap's Diminishing Dollar.

It is now 40 cent silver dollar in
stead of 90 cent dollar. OF course If
Mr.. Eryan could make a 90 cent dollar
Us good as a 100 cent dollar, he could
10 the same with 40 cent dollar. And
Il he could do it with 40 cent dollar
why not with 90 cent dollar? And
why not with a 10 cent dollar and 1
cent dollar? Then why have any value
at all in dollar? Why not make dol
lar out of nothing?
And the deuce of it is for Mr.. Will
liam j. Bryan that wheat keeps on 60
ing up while silver goes down. Tough
on him, but the country can stand it.
