Free Coinage of Silver.

The phrase free coinage" of silver
has no reference to the charges at the
mint on bullion deposited for coinage,
says the Silver Knight Waterman.
Ordinarily the minis of the civilized
world have charged for converting
pay the absolute cost. This charge is
ordinarily made for melting, refining
and preparing bullion for coinage
There is sometimes a profit also in the
alloy used, the object being to make
the mint self-sustaining. There has al
ways been a strong objection to MAX
ing a charge for stamping or coming
the metal after it has been prepared
for that purpose. When no charge is
made for the stamp and coinage 1t is
called free coinage" and inasmuch as
there has been generally no charge in
this country for stamping and coming
either gold or silver the term free
coinage can be properly used. In COM
mon parlance we call it free coinage
when a person can take his bullion to
the mint and have it coined into stand
ard money without any charge for the
actual coinage, and only sufficient
charge for preparing the bullion for
coinage to pay actual expenses.
The popular use of the phrase "free
coinage of silver" means the unlimited
coinage on terms of exact equality with
the conditions applied to the coinage
of gold-nothing more and nothing
less. A person now having gold may
take it to the mint and have it coined
after it is prepared for coinage with
out charge. He will be charged for
melting and refining, and the govern
ment may also make something on the
alloy, but we call it free coinage OF
gold. All we ask for silver is the same
kind of "free coinage" which is I'M
limited coinage Of the two metals at
the ratio of 16 to 1 without discrimlna-
ton against either.

MONEY A CREATION OF LAW.
The EaIsehoods of the Gold Trusts Free
Literature.


Literature.
The gold trust is flooding the coun-
try with false literature. There is not
fetish worshiper of gold, from Sher-
man down to little Eckels who does
not assume that bullion is money and
argue that the most costly bullion is
the only material fit for coinage.
Some Of the most distinguished hypo-
critics or financial idiots, as the Silver
night-Watchman Classics ex-Presi-
dent Harrison, ex-President Cleveland
and the loquacious Gage, speak of the
intrinsic value Of gold. If they are
really so ignorant that they do not
know that the intrinsic qualities Of a
thing do not constitute its value, they
must admit that everything having in
trinsic qualities will always be of the
same value so long as it possesses the
same intrinsic qualities, and that there
can be no fuctuation in the price or
value of commodities having intrinsic
qualities. 1t is only those blind teach
ers who are employed for gold monop-
anything.
The great masses Of the people UNI
derstand this question very much bet
ter. They recognize the fact that the
value of thing is what somebody will
give for 1t; in other words, it is what
it will fetch. They understand very
well that the price or value of thing
is fixed and determined when two par
ties exchange commodity for money
or one commodity for another; and
that value is the comparative worth OF
the two articles as estimated by the
buyer and seller in making contract.
In the board Of brokers the value OF
railroad stock Is determined from day
to day by what the b. yer will give and
what the seller will take. When the
minds of the buyer and seller come to-
gether the price or value Of thing Is
determined. This being the case 1t is
insulting the good sense of intelligent
people for the great hypocrites of the
gold standard to assume and declare
that the value of gold is intrinsic,
which is equivalent to saying that II
all the mountains were gold an ounce
Of gold would buy the same amount OF
wheat as it now will. 1t would be well
II the country would treat these hypo-
critical or idiotic teachers occasionally
to cold bath and bring them to their
senses.

II the eminent financiers whom Sec
rotary Lyman ]. Gage has invited to
suggest currency plan that will make
their business prosperous cannot agree
upon some plan it would be remark
able. So it is altogether likely that in
a short time we will have plan that
will make at least one business pros
porous. Now why would it not be
good idea to ask parties engaged in
other lines Of business what laws they
would like to have enacted that would
make their business prosperous? For
instance, men who have been engaged
in the business of raising horses have
not been very prosperous for several
years. Then again other business
men" who have been engaged in the
business of stealing horses have not
had as good laws for the protection OF
their business as some other lines OF
business. In fact, some of the laws
passed have actually Disseminated
against their interests. Men engaged
in the raising Of poultry could without
doubt suggest laws that would make
their business more profitable. Gen
tlemen engaged in the business OF
stealing chickens could make sugges-
lions in regard to laws that would
have tendency to increase their
profits. Men engaged in the business
of wrecking trains could have their
business as well protected by law as
the business Of wrecking railroads has
been. In short, all of the different
lines Of business could be made pros
porous by laws for their benefit. Pro-
vided, the laws were so framed that
what was beneficial to one industry
did not conflict with the prosperity OF
other industries.-E. L. Smith.

One of the largest concessions ever
obtained by Americans from foreign
government has fallen into the hands
Of a syndicate of New York capitalists,
who have completed the organization
of a company to control the exporta-
stock of all descriptions from and to
the republic of Honduras. The con-
cession is for twenty-five years, ac-
cording to the Twentieth Century
This concession was granted in August.
1895, by the government of Honduras
Central America, to Mr.. Otto Zurcher
citizen of Switzerland. His labors
resulted IN the formation, few days
ago, of the American Honduras Cat
tie, Agricultural and Colonization
company, composed principally of New
York men. The company is to be cap
italized at five million dollars. The
exclusive right to establish and oPer-
ate slaughter-houses, refrigerators,
canning factories, packing-ho houses and
other establishments of like nature Is
granted, as is exemption from all tax
alton on the company's business, prop
erty and products. About 10000 acres
of public land will be granted to the
company. If there are any good, juicy
morsels of wealth lying loose on any
part of the globe that have not yet been
trusted the fact is unknown to our
Wall street bankers.

Municipal Ownership.

The employees of the Brooklyn Bridge
corporation have short hours, fair
wages, and free uniforms. This is mu-
nicipal ownership. The employees OF
the Manhattan elevated have long
hours, scanty wages, and have to pay
high prices for their uniforms. This Is
private ownership. These two COM
panies are fairly illustrative OF SIM
ilarly opposed conditions the world
over, and the people are almost con-
WINGED. Scratch an opponent of mu-
nicipal ownership and you find an in
terested or salaried representative OF
monopoly. But the people will soon
awaken and claim their own.-Charles
S. White in American Craftsman.

Your Idols of Gold.

Ye have stolen my lands and my cat
tie;
Ye have kept back from labor its
need;
Ye have challenged the outcast to bat
tie.
When they plead at your feet in their
need;
And when the clamors of hunger grew
louder,
And the multitudes prayed to be fed,
Ye have answered with prisons or
powder
The cries of your brothers for bread.
1 turn from your affairs and arches,
And the hooking Of steeples and
domes.
To Join in the long, weary marches
OF the ones we have robbed Of the,:
homes.
I share in the sorrows and crosses
OF the Naked the hungry and cold,
And dearer to me are their losses
Than your gains and your idols OF
gold.

"Inquiring Jones" of "Jingo Hol-
low paints in general terms to "the
deadly parallel between Presidents
Buchanan and Mckinley. The former
was largely responsible for the civil
war because he so feared the politi-
clans and shareholders of the south
that he dared not use the power of the
nation to crush them like an egg I'M
der a hammer, but permitted them to
hatch. So Mckinley, in his zeal for
peace, in the interests of European and
American bondholders, has done all he
could to bring the nation to the verge
of war with Spain when a mere dec
laration of the fact that Cuba and
Spain are at war would have settled
things without the firing of shot. II
a Spanish official did blow up the
Maine, 1t was because he was embold-
ened to do SO by the policy of the
Cleveland and Mckinley administra-
tions.

the figures contained in United States
census bulletin No. SO, should be the

The Republican machine and Repub-
lican press of Michigan bitterly hate
the sturdy, free-silver, anti-plutocratic
Gov. Pingree, but they realize that
they must renominate him or suffer
defeat. The Petoskey Record says:
The party will not recover from its
deadly dose of Pingreeism for years to
come. Better to go deliberately to de-
feat this year with an honorable, true
republican at the head of the ticket
and Pingree at the head of an opposi-
ton ticket, than to betray principle.
sacrifice loyalty and belle our manhood
by nominating Pingree."

In these days when public officials
are so subservient to aggregated
wealth, as represented in the great
corporations, it is positively refreshing
to become aware of such man as
Commissioner of Insurance McNall OF
the state Of Kansas. This competent
and brave public servant has just be-
gun a new campaign against the cor
ruption of the great life insurance
companies, and the indications are
that before these octopi are through
with him they will know how to do
their duty to the people. The latest
action of Mr. McNall taken last week,
was to require from the corporations
of this state a statement of the sums
which may have been expended by
them for political purposes. Mr.. Nc
Nall has learned that at least two of
the corporations have made plans to
purchase legislation in the state of
Kansas, and he proposes to find out
all about the business. - Twentieth

Population by Families.
Wealth.

The war talk has called general at
tention entirely away from the trial OF
the deputy sheriffs who shot down so
many peaceful strikers in eastern
Pennsylvania during the great up
heaval among the coal miners. The
evidence is about all in and there can
be no question as to the butchery and
wholesale murders of which the Off
on trial endeavor to escape the con-
sequences of their act by saying that
they simply obeyed orders. But this
sort of defense, says the Twentieth
Century, would enable pretty much all
the murderers that ever killed to go
scot free. We cannot say now what
the outcome of the trial Will be, but
by the time this paper is in the hands
of the readers the result may have
been announced. Whatever that re-
suit may be, the effect Of the trial will
be largely lost through the eoncentra
tion of public attention upon the war
scares.
The New York World says: "If you
do not believe the powers behind the
throne at Washington are full of the
milk of human kindness, go loot
bank and ask for pardon. Then you
will see it gush. Mckinley has in ten
months pardoned. ninety-eight bank
wreckers and bank swindlers, which is
four times the total number of par
dons granted by any one Of his prede-
cessors."
The Oregonian deplores "the falling
off in number of children" and says

hardly exc out an existence for them
selves.
