A recent mention in these columns of
a visit to the East Mississippi insane

some criticism. and very justly, if the

that there has been too much of it pro-
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production ma be curtailed. First, a
seigniorage or government tax, "greater
or less" that is, raised to whatever
point may be necessary to discourage
silver mining; and, second, a govern
ment prohibition to the location of new
mines, which you assume will be effec-
tive because those now privately owned
"will soon be exhausted" Now, if
this had been saidby Bynum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the gold
standard cunks, I should not have been
surprised and certainly should nc have
thought of criticising it. But III the
mouth of a professed silver advocate it
is such a giving away of position and
argument as to threaten the most
serious injury, unless exposed and de
nounced by those in whose behalf it Is
assumed to be spoken. We are pre-
pared to meet our open enemies but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
of their theories by those regarded AS
our advocates and protesting loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Newlands, YOU may be able to
give ONE explanation of your remark

ually bobbing up in goldbug literature,
but is an absolute surrender of all that
is vital in silver advocacy. When a man
who assumes to be a champion of silver
talks about a REGULATION of coinage" tc

prices might be increased and absolutely

right"
Of this I can only say that the man
who could deliberately write it and yet
pretend to be a friend of silver places a
very low estimate upon the intelligence
of those by whom he thinks it will be
read. Mr.. Newlands, you seem not only
anxious to indorse the views of MIR. Gage
as to the gold standard, but you are
ready with a new suggestion in its sup
port. Not only is it to be guaranteed by
a regulation of coinage, but to be assured
by limitation upon silver production. 1t
is not only free coinage, but free mining
which you perceive to be dangerous. If
you think that 1 misrepresent you,
please re-read the above quotation and
particularly this s%entence:
"THE RESULT HAS BEEN,
THEREFORE, TO SUBJECT THESE
MINES TO THE EXPLOITATION
OF TREMENDOUS ENERGY AND
ENTERPRISE. AND HAS PRO
DUCED A FLOOD OF SILVER
WHERE FORMERLY THERE WAS
A DROUTH."
