FALSEHOODS FROM ST. LOUIS.

Louis, the forerunner of the whole
tribe of hyphcnated and apostate Dem
ocrats that have since been recruited
by the Money Power. quotes and criti-
clses the testimony of Mr.. l.. w. You
mans, of S. c.. before the Industrial
Commission, as follows:
IL. w. Youmans. of South Carolina
who said the agricultural interests OF
the South are greatly depressed and
he cites three reasons for this imagi-
nary condition of things. silver has
not been recognized as a money metal
There has not been an increase in the
volume OF money to correspond with
the increase in population Therefore
there has been n general depreciation
of values.
"On every specific point here present
ed Youmnns is far astray. Silver has
oil the qualities in debt payment which
1T ever had. 1t is the precise equal of
gold in this respect under the law The
volume of the currency amounted to
$2l.10 per capita at the middle Of 1896
1t has been constantly OF the increase
since then. 1t was $2i.71 in 1S9S. Ii is
more than SIG now. There has been no
general depreciation of values in agri-
culture or in any other calling I'm ;hc
United States. The opposite has been
the case. The market price of all farm
products has gone up since the begin
ming of the present year. II was high
or at the beginning OF this year than it
was in 1896"
The Globe-Democrat then proceeds to
assail all Democrats as liars, who can
not speak of the Industrial situation
"without uttering falsehoods."
Now mark how straight a story will
put down this st. Louis acostate. as
false in all things rs in name: Up to
February -. 1873. the silver dollar had
been the standard OF value, by law, in
the United States for period of 81
years: up to the same date and during
the same period silver Gust as gold
had been allowed free ana unlimited
coinage" but on that date the silver
dollar was displaced. rs the standard
value, by the dollar IN gold. ana Sill
YER METAL. OR BULLION was Who'll
~ deprived, in any quality. on any
terms, OF the right or privilege OF coin
age; and from that moment. on "A
forced construction of the act of silver
demonstration, the Treasury Of the
United States assumed the obligation or
right, or power, to pay all obligations
In gold coin as the only ultimate money
of the nation thus discrctiting and de-
preciating even the standard of value
of the United States.

But the main truth of Mr.. Youmans'
declaration that silver is not a money
metal, is the main purpose and effect
OF the act of 1873, as it declares; and it
is Il mean and pitiful evasion TO as
scrt that that portion Of silver metal
that is used as money and coin. Is a
leGal-tendcr for debts: when the whole
tenor of Mr.. Youmans' testimony
shows that he referred to silver metal
bullion-not simply that portion of it
which is coined. Silver metal ceased to
be money metal excepting frac-
tional part OF I'D in 1878, under the act
of February II, by being deprived of
all rights ana privileges OF coinage. and
the fixed valuation thereby given it,.
Who is ID will dare say the con-
trary? Yet by talking Of coined silver
while it well knew that Mr. Youmans
referred TO silver metal or bullion. the
Globe Democrat seeks to impose upon
the uniformed, and even goes so far az
to call Mir. Youmans liar, Who is the
actual liar in the case? as the South
Carolinian in reference to silver, said

Washington? Why should we. even il
