THE PLATFORM OF 1896 IS DE-
MOCRACY.

When our local morning contem-
porary speaks of the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver as can experiment"
we should be astonished ut the lack Of
true information 1T exhibits by the ex-
preston. IL we did not know that 1t is
part of a formula, prepared without
regard to truth by the monometallist
propaganda, on the principle that, to
deceive the people. "a lie stoutly stuck
to. and often repeated, Is as good as
the truth" Our contemporary Is not
responsible for 1t. any more than the
worshiper of the golden calf. or of any
fetich. Is for repeating the phrases set
down for him and all others of the
creed. to utter in chorus, with precious
little regard to their meaning.
The United States had the free and
unlimited coinage of silver from 1892,
when the Federal Mint was established,
until 1873, when the clause demonetiz-
ing silver metal Vas fraudulently
sneaked through Congress in n bill to
regulate the mint,-none but the con-
spirators against silver being aware, at
the time. that the clause had so i'm
portant an effect upon our money and
currency. The period thus covered by
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
was eighty-one years; and from first to
last 1t was a complete success. AL
THOUGH ALL THE TIME 1T WAS
IN FREE AND EQUAL COMPETE
TION WITH GOLD. 1t was no silver
monopoly. nor has any silver monopoly
been proposed or desired; but 1t is a
most noteworthy fact, which has not
been heretofore made as prominent as
st should be, that not only was silver
q success in free and equal competition
with gold, but 1t surpassed gold in the
competition. in that the silver in dol
lar was worth from TO 8 per cent.
more at the date of its demonetization
than the gold in dollar. while the
dollar in each metal was at par.
