UNLIMITED COINAGE.

"The republican government
keeps coming silver at the ratio
of 16 to I and the republican
papers keep bowling about so
cent money made by their own
administration. AS Mr.. Miller
suggests, if this ratio is such a
bugaboo as so many papers keep
crying, just for political effect,
hadn't the government ought to
be ashamed of itself for panning
off on the people 500, 900, 900 of
half price money. AS a matter
of fact a silver dollar coined is
worth dollar in gold" ."-Albany
Democrat. Here, now, is an ex-
ample of the unhtness OF the
populist mind to grasp a propo-
sition. Editor Nutty has been
one of the most ardent-and we
believe sincere-supporters of
the Chicago platform. But the
trouble with him has been that
he hasn't understood what he
has been advocating. In the
above article he comes out as a
square-toed republican. He ad-
mits every contention of the re-
publican platform on the money
question. 1.-THE republican gov
ernment keeps coming silver at
the ratio of 16 to l." he says,
and "as a matter Of fact silver
dollar coined is worth a dollar in
gold" What more does the
Bryan party want? The Kansas
City platform demands the FREE
AND UNLIMITED coinage of sill
yer and gold at the present legal
ratio of 16 to l." We have
already the legal ratio of 1o to I,
aud the free and unlimited COIL
age of gold, so the essence OF
what the Bryan party de-
1nand is the FREE aAd UNLIMITED
coinage of silver and it is the
very point which the democrat
and the majority of the silverites
overlook.
Under the present system we
can maintain the ratio of 16 to I
and keep every silver dollar as
good as a gold dollar, but throw
off all restriction, adopt the
money plank of the Kansas City
platform, take away government
control of the amount of silver
to be coined, and the ratio be-
tween The value of the metal il
a silver dollar and a gold dollar
would assume the same relation
as the bullion value>of each ane
be constantly varying. More
bullion must be put into the
silver dollar, making it bulky
and unwieldy, or at the present
bullion value of the two metals
a silver dollar of the present di.
mensioas would be worth but
fifty cents.

RAISING A FALSE ISSUE.

In his speech at Lebanon,
shortly after his defeat for the
presidency, Mr.. Bryan declared
that the great, the essential
cause of all our financial troubles
in this country was the demoni-
tization of silver. The tariff and
all other issues which had been
made paramount, were being
put forward by the old parties to
attract the attention of the peo-
pie from the great cause of their
distress. But no good could re-
suit until the free coinage of
silver had been restored, and he
proposed to labor to that end
and to prevent nothing 10 OBJ
seure it. until it had been accom-
plished. Mr.. Bryan's conten-
ton that no relief could come to
the people until free coinage had
been secured for silver, has been
proven absolutely false by the
events of the past four years.
Never in its history has the coun-
try been so prosperous. We are
rapidly changing from a debtor
to a creditor nation; the amount
of gold in the treasury stands at
the highest mark ever attained
the balance of trade in our favor
never reached such figure be-
fore; the per capita of circula-
ton has increased nearly six dol
lars in the last four years; the
wage of the laborer has advanced;
we have no great armies of un-
employed; capital is seeking in
vestment; the number of busi-
ness failures is rapidly decreas-
ing, and the prospects for free
coinage of silver have rapidly
diminished. Mr.. Bryan realizes
all this. He knows that the
people realize it and were he to
come before the country on a
silver platform he would not
stand the ghost of show for
election, so he adopts the tactics
which three years ago he ac-
cused the old parties of using,
and raises the false issue of
imperialism. But Mr.. Bryan
has SO thoroughly identified him
self with the cause of silver that
that will be the issue in spite of
him.
