Newlands' smart invention of BURN
ing up paper money as an offset % the
free coinage of silver would, he says,
prevent expansion for four or five years.
1t would require that time to produce
enough silver and gold with which to
redeem and destroy the paper money,
including u ~greenbacks. When the
silver coinage has displaced all the pa
per without changing the volume of
money, he then proposes to Mr.. Gage
that the government can close up the
mines.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

In his anti-silver letter to Secretary
Gage Mr.. Newlands proposed that all
OF the paper money in the silver pro-
ducing countries should be redeemed
and retired. He showed that there
was nearly a billion dollars of his pa
per money, and that the product of four
or five years of both gold and silver
could be easily swallowed up in redeem
ing this kind of paper currency. Then
he ~exultingly asked Would this be in
flatlon? Would this be expansion"

Mr.. Newlands is very clumsy dodger.
The only excuse he makes for breaking
his solemn pledge to the silver conven-
ton and mis- subsequent personal pledge
to Stewart that he would support him
for the Senate is as follows:
about the time that l announced
myself as a candidate for Congress,
William +. Sharon told Stewards man
ager, Wallace, that Stewart was to have
the field free from any opposition on
MY part, but that if Stewart failed to
carry his legislative ticket, the field
would be open, and l would be at liberty
to pursue such course as my judgment
approved"
What had this TO do with N~ewlands's
personal pledge publicly given to the
party he pretends to belong to that he
would support Stewart. and what has it
to do with the subsequent interview be-
tween Stewart and Newlands at the
Palace Hotel in San Francisco in which
Newlands positively assured Stewart of
his support for the Senate, and asked
and received Stewards assurance of his
fullest support for Congress? Mr.. New
lands does not pretend that he ever asked
Stewart to release him from his pledge,
nor does he pretend that any friend of
: his ever said a word to Stewart on the
subject; but he claims to have fully re-
leased himself by having his friend,
Sharon, tell Stewards friend, Wallace,
that under certain circumstances he
should feel free to be a candidate for
the Senate if he should think it worth
his while. The moral insensibility of
Newlands in thus advertising his W
perfdy without knowing it requires no
comment.

How did it happen that the gentlemen
who ran the candidate named ANY
thing to beat Stewart" during the cam
paign declare SO vociferously that
Stewart was not a resident of the state
and never could become such, and after
the election was over introduced Mr..
Newlands as the gentleman that they
were supporting? Because it is we'll
known that Newlands was one of the
aboriginees of Nevada. He neve came
to the state for office, and he never held
an office that was not forced upon him;
he had been in the state always, and
was as much a home ruler as old VIM
nemucca himself.

"Undoubtedly the mines of the
present, which have been already
granted by the government are private
property and must be free from govern
ment appropriation, but they wili soon
be exhausted, and even as private prop
erty the government has a perfect right
to insist upon seigniorage in return for
the privilege OF mintage."-Ne10huds
Letter to Secretary Gage.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

The go(dbugs say that if silver is
coined at its full value at the mint, pro-
d%uction would be stimulated, increasing
the amount of silver 10 be coined.
Newlands says he can fix that. When
the paper money has all been retired by
coin redemption, leaving the volume of
money just where it started, the gov
ernments in the silver countries can re-
fuse to allow any more mines to be
opened and worked.

HON. +. G. NEWLANDS, Reno, New:
SIR: If | or any other gentleman in
the state should pursue the course you
nave with regard to the various nomina-
tons for Congress which you have re-
ceived and prevented, l would be de-
nounced as a trlCkster, but | refrain
from using any such term with refer
ence to yourself.
You obtained the nomination OF the
Silver party to which you profess to be
long and pledged yourself to stand by
the principles of that party and the
pledges contained in the platform not
withstanding your letter to Secretary
Gage. Your friends, Mr.. Joe Ryan, John
Dennis, and perhaps another, gave you
the committee nomination of the Demo-
cratic party for Congress. Of course you
were bound after accepting that nonli-
nation to comply with its platform and
pay the charges required for conducting
the campaign. In accepting the nomi-
nation for Congress of the Silver party
you Endorsed the platform which is
highly %eulogistic of Senator Stewart,
~recounting his faithful services in the
Senate and pledging you to support him
and every other nominee on the Silver
party ticket. In accepting the nomina-
ton on the Democratic platform you
were equally pledged to support the
principles of that party platform which
resident, as having accomplished moth
ing for the state, and by implication
pledged yourself to support every nomi-
nee on the Democratic ticket. You in
dorsed the denunciation of Senator
Stewart i'll that platform as a non
resident when you knew full well that
at the time you came to the state OF
Nevada he was in the Senate at Wash
ington and you rented his house to &C.
quire a residence and run for Congress.
The Silver party platform and the
Democratic party platform made silver
the paramount issue, but you were not
satisfied with two nominations. From
the best information Obrainable be
lieve and charge that You manipulated
the Republican convention and pre-
vented the nomination of a member O
Congress, and hat the Republican
nominee for governor, Mr.. Mcmillan
assisted you in the scheme and declared
before the aucus of his party hat hs
would not run for governor if the part,
nominated a candidate for Congress.
In view of the foregoing, is it unfai,
to presume that you have also Endorsed
the Republican platform? The people
would like to know if there is any plat
form embodying any principle that yor
would not indorse if by that mean yo,
: could get office?
: Yours, truly,
THOMAS WREN.

Newlands has two plans for prevent
ing the increase in the volume of none
and still allowing free coinage. One
way Is to put such a heavy royalty Q
se1gniorage on coming that nobody :
afford to carry his silver 10 the mint to
be coined. The other is not to allow
anybody to take up new mines. He
says the old ones will be worked out in
five years.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

The reason for demanding the free
coinage of silver is to restore the guam
tity of money. That great and ex-
%perienced statesman, Francis G.. New
lands, has discovered that we can have
free coinage without increasing the
money volume, because as fast as we
coin silver we can burn up the paper
money in all the silver countries.

Who was Mr.. "Anybody" during the
campaign? Did any one know the gen.
tleman? No. Nobody could guess who
he was until he introduced himself on
the way to Washington and had his
baggage marked "Newlands."
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

Mr.. Newlands wrote to Secretary Gage
in November, 1897, hat the American
silver producing countries can easily
limit the production of silver if they
choose. They have already done this
by refusing to admit it to coinage.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

Why did Newlands, i'll his speech &C
cepting the nomination for Congress
from the Silver party, contend that the
rich men are more patriotic than the
poor men? Because he is a rich man and
don't want his patriotism doubted.

Did Mr.. Newlands acknowledge that
he was a candidate, or that he was "Any-
body to beat Stewart during the CAM
paign? OF course not. He could not
run for two offices at the same time in
his own name; consequently he had to
use the nom de bluWe of "Anybody to
beat Stewart"

1t was real nice of Mr.. Newlands to
show Secretary Gage how he could
bunco some of the unthinking people by
contracting paper currency in exact pro-
portion to the increase of metal money.

How could Newlands be a free trade
Democrat, a high tariff Republican and
a Is to silver man and a rampant gold

of a very skillful physician at Golconda
Springs who was a specialist OF incon-
~sistencies.

Newlands says that the present system
of granting mines to the prospectors
who discover them "has produced a

a drouth," and then he asks: "Why
should these free grants be continued"

What are the strong pointsi in the char
acter of Newlands? Fidelity to Jones

free trade, protection, free coinage and
the gold standard.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-21

Newlands proposition to Gage was to
allow silver to be coined, but for every
dollar coined to destroy a paper dollar.
Thus contraction could continue in the
face of silver coinage.
