1t seems to be generally conceded
that it was the attachment of the Ger
man-Americans to the gold standard
which in 1896 saved the middle west
for Mckinley. The question is, how do
they stand upon the new issue of i'm
perialism? Evidently, if the Milwaukee
SentinePs figures are correct, should a
large proportion of this German-Ameri-
can strength desert the republican
party, the middle west is lost to that
party and to Mckinley. The Milwaukee
Sentinel, which is republican paper,
thinks that there is no substantiation
of the theory that these German
Americans are anti-imperialists, and
will carry their anti-imperialism to the
polls. In reply to which the Germania,
of Milwaukee, hidebound republican
newspaper, says:
1--WE feel it our duty to warn our Eng
lish colleague against Understanding
the present movement among German
born voters. If the closing sentence Of
the SentineIs editorial quoted above
means the GermanAmericans, as such,
are not opposed to expansion, this is an
error. The Germania. daily and weekly,
is read in more families than any other
German-American paper. Especially in
the states mentioned in the table, the Ger
mania has very wide circulation There
fore if there is any newspaper qualified to
give an opinion as to the position of the
German-born citizens of those states it is
| the Germania. The letters which we re-
ceive continually from those states leave no
kind of doubt possible that such Germans
are against expansion and Imperialism in
| overwhelming majority, and are conse-
| Quently opposed to the administration, that
| is, if the assumption is correct that the adj
| ADMINISTRATION has inscribed these principles
| on it's banner. These letters come almost
exclusively from voters who deposited
their ballots for Mckinley and honest
money, and if the money question were
| the only issue next year they would IN
| hesitatingly do the same thing again, but
| they find themselves in a hard position if
| it is to be a choice between the evil of bad
money on the one hand and the evil of eX-
pansion on the other. We believe that the
Sentinel lays too much weight on occa-
| sional letters signed tTeuton' or 'Germani-
| GUS whose authors break lance for the
cause of expansion. These are but single
| voices which would never be heard in the
great chorus of German-Amerfcan voters.

such an important factor that one cannot

than to give them a true picture of the att1-

reason for this article.

PROFITS OF SILVER MINING.
Foolish Argument of the GoIdites
and an Outrage on an ImpOr-
tant Industry.

For years it has been stock argu-
ment with the gold people that silver
has fallen in value because of the re-
duced cost of production. The idea
that Misunderstanding off the
regular demand for the metal-had any
effect has been secuted as ridiculous.
Not a word have they uttered as to
the reduced expense of gold mining;
the circumstance that the richest sill
yer mines, SO called, yield nearly as
much gold as silver, and hence that
any economy of production must APP
ply to both, has been passed by in
silence. Not mention have they made
of the hundreds and thousands of sill
yer mines that never paid for even the
labor expended upon them. They have
simply taken few very rich mines,
based their calculations upon them, ana
figured it out to their own satisfac-
ton that silver can be produced at
from IA to Al cents an ounce. The
closing of the East Indian mint de-
stroyed both arguments. Almost in
stantly silver dropped from above so
"
lied back to about ~, and there it
stood until the repeal of the Sherman
law, when the decline began again, and
continued until it fell below 50 cents.
With the sudden and tremendous fall
which followed the closing of the East
Indian mint, silver mines all over the
west closed, thousands of miners were
thrown out of employment and whole
towns were almost depopulated. For
the year 1894 the average price of sill
yer bullion was little more than 63
cents, % cents above the highest cost
of mining, according to the figures
given by the eminent champions of the
gold standard, and yet it fairly cast
a blight upon the silver mining states
and territories of the union. What the
effect would have been had silver
dropped to Al, the highest cost of pro-
duction, according to our opponents,
can be easily imagined. 1t would have
virtually put an end to silver mining
in the United States. Modern history
fails to record another act of legisla
tive injustice at all comparable with
that of demonetizing silver. Not only
did it increase the burden of every
struggling debtor, but it was a deadly
blow at one of the great industries of
the country. When the debtor objects
to having his obligation doubled, he is
denounced by the money power as a
repudiator. When the silver mining
states object to the ruin of their in
dustries by the denial to silver of it's
chief use ii. e. as money! they are
characterized as free hooters, attempt
ing to levy tribute upon the rest of
the country. For the first time since
the dawn of history, a civilized and
presumably intelligent country, heavily
in debt, has gone deliberately at work
to double its debt and at the same time
destroy one of its most important indus
tries. And what is stranger than all, the
outrage is defended by the most brutal
accusations hurled at the heads of those
who protest against its contamination
VIII the people permit themselves to be
deceived forever?
