The Supreme Issue.


ed at $3.50, 900, 100000. Much the larg-
er part of this debt was incurred
when silver was money of final pay
ment. The statement that we have
reached the single gold basis is a
great mistake. We are not there yet,
and will not be until at least three
billions of legal tender money have
been deprived of their money func.
tions. nor until that amount of prop
erty has been reduced by shrinking
in its commercial value. The bond
or mortgage of the debtor is prac-
tically more than doubled, as it will
take twice as much property to can
eel or extinguish the debt. We are
undergoing that change now, and the
process will continue until the money
power absorbs all the wealth Of the
debtor class.
Silver was dropped from coinage
without the knowledge or consent of
debtors. If A B owed CD thous-
and dollars, secured by mortgage
on his homestead, and the volume of
legal tender was reduced one half,
when the obligation natures the
debtor is in just as bad fix as if the
creditor had committed forgery by
raising the amount to two thousand
dollars.
Convicted of forgery the guilty
party goes to the states prison; but
doubling an obligation to pay money
by disfranchising one half the legal
tender is an evidence of high sense
of honor and commercial integrity!
The changing of the money standard
by reducing its volume and thus re-
curing debtors to pay twice as much
to cancel an obligation is a fragrant
wrong. Retributive justice may Soon
er or later overtake the wrongdoer.
The reputation of the debts in the
interest of the debtor would not be
more dishonorable or greater crime
than to disfranchise one half of the
legal tender, thereby confiscating the
property of the debtor. That is pre-
cisely what the gold standard means.
This Administration has under
taken job which it will never be
allowed to finish if the honest voters
the United States can be brought to
understand the facts. This Admins
tration is determined to rob the
people of so per cent of the constitu-
tional money of the country, cancel
and destroy the credit money, but
has proposed to give corporations
the entire control Of the finances,
even to determine the volume of
credit money and supply it. make it
abundant or scarce as their avarice
or greed shall determine.
The people should be warned not
to be SO absorbed in the war with
Spain as to lose sight of the dangers
which threaten the existence OF free
institutions. To permit the consum-
nation of their avowed purpose is to
establish the vilest moneyed oligar-
chy that ever cursed the human race
The emergencies of war with Spain
are tritling in comparison with those
which confront the people in their
home affairs. There should be a
consensus of opinion that no man
should be nominated or elected q
member of Congress or President of
the United States who is not an out
spoken advocate of the unlimited
coinage of silver, however be may
distinguish himself in the war. Thi:
is the shibboleth which should de-
termine the right of any person tc
ask the suffrages of his countrymen
