In reply to West End" in week
before lasts issue, in which he
asks "Why does not knob Lick"
talk on live issues and not so much
on free silver" l am glad he has
called my attention to the fact that
free silver is not live issue and an
assertion l will not make an issue
on, nor have for some time; and
as a true Populist could not con-
scientiously do so. While the Pop
ulIst party advocated free silver
and had the manhood to put it in
their platforms and never shirked
their duty to favor it in Congress
and the Senate they have never
claimed that it was the money
question; only a small part of it;
using it as palliative and not as
b cure for the ills of contracted
currency. No, Bro. of "West End"
clear your mind as to me being set
on free silver, for if that is the only
relief We expect from the money
power, free silver and coin redemp-
ton as set forth by the Democrats
in their platform, it is only little
better than gold redemption be-
cause they are both false in theory.
We had just as well have redeem
err for our Savior. Gold is not
money, until the fiat of Govern
ment is stamped on it. That being
a fact-and l hope there is none
but what will admit it. but if there
be any that disbelieve if he will
bring me a dollar that was not
made a dollar by the fiat of good |
and responsible government then /
will give him ten dollars for it.
Then the free silver Democrat if he
gets dollar out of accents worth
Of silver bullion has to become a
Iiatist in utilization as well as belief.
The theory of free silver and one
dollars as good as another, then in
the next breath coin redemption
it is a contradiction of facts. To
redeem means one better than the
)ther. The truth of it all is there
g not in existence a dollar of mon
" which was not made money by
aw. Gold is not money; silver is
rot money. But we take gold and
silver and make money of them by
he authority of law. Some people
Jay God Almighty created money
when he created gold and stored 1t
n the mountains. You might as
veil say he made biscuits when he
reated wheat or made mint juleps
when he created grain and lined
he banks of your ripping streams
With that tasteful plant. Now, Bro.
4 "West End" those are my senti-
nents on finance. That is the Pop S
Hist sentiment on money. They
we're the sentiments of Thomas ,
jefferson. They were the sentiments
f Abraham Lincoln, and you and :
can surely agree and say they are 7
i've issues. 1t
