or restricts the supply as the high pro-
tective tariff does, there are then
grounds for a party disagreement.
If good craftsmanship requires that
ments be submitted to a vote of the
people why not submit important laws
in the same way? I have not a doubt,
that if the law suspending the coinage
of silver had been submitted to a vote of
the people it would have been beaten
fifty to one.

SILVER SOLICITUDE.
EDITOR THE CONSERVATIVE

l.
Should the present congress vote to
issue interest bearing gold bonds, for
the purpose of redeeming silver dollars
and greenbacks, and then retire them,
what effect will it have upon the rate of
interest, labor wages and price of
property? Will interest go up and
property go down as they did when
greenbacks were buried before?
What made our silver dollars ''un-
sound" while up to the time their
coinage was stopped they were worth
more than our gold dollars in any part
of the world? Should gold continue to
go down, as it has for some little time,
as compared with silver, corn or cotton,
until we can buy pound Of gold for
twelve or fifteen pounds of silver which
would be sound money then?
What will be the difference between
Treasurer Cages ''asset' bank bills and
the wild cat bank bill of fifty years ago?
What we meant by "parity" between
property and money, was that as long
as they coined gold and silver free, six
hundred dollars would buy as much
of the six great necessities of life,
corn, beef, pork, wool and cotton one
year as another. One or two might go
up and one or two down, but the guam
tity of each would be the same for the
six hundred dollars.
So, if money is let alone where it is,
and Roosevelt coins as much silver
gold and paper as Mckinley did we will
continue to have good times. Supply
and demand are all right for the gov
ernment of prices if left alone, but when
the law steps in and cuts off the demand
as 1t did in stopping the coming Of silver

a house as soon as possible and with as
Little trouble to themselves as circum-
stances will permit. The answer Is In
a nut shell: employ thoroughly

penter and builder" or in other words
don't think you have done all that Is
necessary when you have secured salts
factory plans and given builders an OPP
portunity to bid upon them; but satisfy
yourself of the competency, good faith,
and the responsibility of the lowest
bidder before you place the work In his
hands. And be sure w. A. Sherman il
