Sustain Silver Papers.

There are m@ny silver men who are
giving their exclusive patronage to
gold papers. Thia is wrong. Gold
papers can do no harm without
readers, and silver papers and re-
from papers can neither live or do
good unless they are supported, and
the duty of this support rests on
every patriotic citizen. No syndi-
Gates and either our silver or refor m
papers. These may be supported by
the people or fall, and which it shall
be rests with those silver men now
giving their patronage to gold papers
and not patronizing any silver or re-
form daily or weekly.
SUBSCRIBE EoR SILVER PAPERS.
We should also discontinue our ps-
tronage of the gold standard press,
and subscribe at once and pay in ad-
vance where possible for such silver
and reform papers as are striving to
hold all those in line who favor the
retaining of our greenback, coin and
silver certificates circulation and the
restoring of silver to its original
money function.
We are of those who believe that
these matters are not all the reforms
that It is necessary to secure, but
this exigency is upon us and it is all
that we can now meet and accomplish.
This action taken now will prepare
! us for 1898 and 1890, and it is necessary
to begin Systematically now to reduce
the circulation of the gold press and
advance the circulation of ours, be-
cause, as soon as the time arrives to
push the Walker bill or some other
like measure, the gold standard press,
will be a unit in alarming the country
to petition congress that it is neces-
sary to destroy all money but gold and
national bank notes, so as to have a
currency which the bankers say will
be based on confidence and gold, and
they can limit or enlarge 1t at pleasure
without any restraint by the govern
ment as to the quality of circulation
they should put out.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1897-07-22

Of about seOe, 100000 of gold on the
markets of the rest Of the world Do
you really contend that the effect
would not be lowering of the ex-
changeable value of gold in
those markets? Further. your
argument is that we would re-
ceivc silver in return, for IL
We did not receive silver we would
surely get our moneys worth in
something else. Now do you think
that the sudden demand for 200, ,OOO,.
600 of silver would cause no more than
an insignificant and temporary rise
in the exchangeable value of silver?
Further, still taking your figures, we
would require GOO, 600, 900 of additional
silver to make up for the depreciation
of our silver and paper which we have
now, or a total of ! 800, ,000,0O0 to come
out of the worlds stock of 3,400, 100000
outside of the United States. Yet
you do not think that there would be
any legitimate rise in the price of sill
YER? And you think that you know
something about logic!
Do you not know that the action of
any country, great or small, which
discards silver as standard money, and
adopts gold in its place, in proportion
to its commercial strength, inevita-
bly, raises the exchangable value of
gold by increasing the demand, and
lowers that of silver by decreasing the
demand? Do you not know that the
reverse of the process must have the
reverse effect on the prices of the two
metals Surely none of your excru-
ciatingly "sane" men can deny this.
And now, to return to our program,
of the dlema in which your argu.
ment lands you, which horn do you
choose to grasp? Will you insist that
the process indicated could be carried
out indeinitely,o until all gold would
90 into permanent and utterly useless
retire ment Or will you acknowledge
that the commercial ratio would be
brought to the coinage ratio? If you
choose the common sense alternative,
