WAR AND FREE COINAGE.

War, with its waste of human life
and money, has produced degree
of prosperity which is commented
On throughout the country. If Civ
ing employment to hundred
thousand idle men as wastemakers
produces prosperity in small de-
gree, how much greater prosperity
would the employment of more
than a million of idle laborers as
producers of wealth create? We
sold $500, 900, 600 of bonds and i'm
posed heavy war taxes to get mon
Iey to pay men for fighting. How
much better it would be to remone-
tize silver as a standard money and
give employment to a million or
two OF idle people, reduce to cult
walton our unoccupied lands, start
all sorts OF new enterprises, and add
billions of dollars annually to our
national wealth. We. need more
real money to keep the increase in
the volume of money on a parity
with the increase of trade and pop
ulation. The free coinage of silver
is the true constitutional remedy.
Issuing bonds to employ soldiers
to consume without producing any,
thing as a means of producing pros
perty, is like getting drunk on
credit. The effect Of the stimulant
IS short lived, and the condition of
the victim is worse, but the bills
have to be paid. We are expand
ing our territory, expanding our
trade, and increasing our popula-
tion, while the supply of real or
standard money is not correspond

perance man, and he will say, "Wt
are all opposed to the liquor traffic
but we differ as to methods. f"
How would this sound?
We are all opposed to swearing
but differ as to methods.
We are opposed to theft, but diff
fer as to methods.
We are opposed to murder, bu
differ as to methods.
And then supposing we should
all join a political party that would
place upon the statute books law
licensing men to swear and stea
and murder?
Supposing, again, after time,
few voters would get together and
declare for a law prohibiting swear
ing, stealing and numbering. Now
what would be the difference be-
tween these parties?
You answer, one license men tc
swear, steal and murder, and the
other proposes to prohibit their
committing those sins.
What would you consider the
method of the members of the Ii
cense party to be?
The same as their party of course.
What would you consider the
method of the members of the Pro-
hibition party to b.? The same as
their party.
Then the difference between a
member of the license party and OF
the prohibition party is, one be-
lieves in license and the other be-
lieves in prohibition.
That's a big difference as to
method.
That is the exact situation to-day.
He who supports license party
believes in license, and he who sup
ports a prohibition party believes in
prohibition.
That is all there is of it..
No decent person would consent
to the licensing of the three sins |
have mentioned or support any
party that would license such sins,
and yet great majority of the
voters persist in supporting parties
that license a crime which is the
main spring of nine tenths of all
other crimes, to-wit: the liquor
traffic; and when you speak to them
about it they say "we are opposed
to it but differ as to methods" !"
How ridiculous!
How do you oppose an evil?
BY opposing it, do you not?
That is the way we oppose swear
ing and theft and murder, but when
we turn to the abominable liquor
traffic we oppose it by licensing it,
and when few Of us declare that
we should oppose the traffic by op-
posing it, the temperance men in
the other parties answer: "Yes,
we are opposed to the liquor traffic
but differ as to methods, and keep
right on licensing it," Never did
the people put themselves in such a
ridiculous, ludicrous, preposterous,
silly, twisted, contorted, tumble
down, crooked, break-necked po-
sition as they do in licensing the
liquor traffic and then standing up,
as near up as they can get, and

liquor traffic but differ as to meth
