THAT FLOOD OF SILVER.

Perhaps the most fortunate thing
that could have happened just at this
lime for the ultimate lnlsre.ts Of the
people, Is the prevailing scarcity Of sii-
yer money. II is Of course very incon-
reuient aud hurtful Co the retail trade
OF the country, and through that 10

ment with republican and so-caliSd
democratic goidbug aGsocntes has been
that II silver we're remoneti2sd We
would have Coed of cheap money that
would drive gold nut Of the country and
put US ON n silver basis. Naturally
every man who knows anything at all
about the laws that govern finances,
knows that this would b. an impossible
condition; but the argument has
served iis purpose until the existing
famine Of silver currency proved its ut
ter fallacy.
Silver aud gold serve two distinct and
essential pnrposeA, and neither can
take the place or do the work OF the
Other. Ard II Is impossible to dispense
Eith either ope or the other without
great public inconvenience, distress
and loss. Gold Is the money of the rich,
81 the banks, the railroad companies,
the great manufacturing plants, and
oil wealthy institutions and interests.
II Is essential Ia their prosperity, and
no one desires 10 deprive them Of a
ningle ounce of the yellow metal. On
the other hand, silver Is the money Of
the people. II Is the money that pays
the hired workman, the factory girl,
the laborrr on tho streets. and does the
great volume OF retail cash business In
all the avenues OF trade. IL IL the
money Of universal rise, and can no
more be safely taken away than you
can deprive q healthy man Of the blood

ness and death.
Bimetallism means the right 20 use
either or both silver and gold, on an
established basis Of equality, In order
that all classes Of the people may enjoy
prosperity; the poor ~ well m the rich.
