the Souttr American republic * . Pticcs for
tins season's cropi promise to bo higher than
'or years. See that you got ttio&o upon the
jild b.isls.
Open our mints to the free coinage of sil
ver , and thus olTor ovcry man in the world
who has siHcr to sell a one-dollar coin
stamped by the government , and tnfton by it
for all duos , for which ho RIVOS only yi\yt \
grains of silver , worth sovontr-oight cents ,
and overv silver mine In the world will DO
worked Jnv and uluht and uvery pound of
silver obtained hurried to our shores. Tlio
nationsof Kuropi ) , with eleven hundred
millions of depreciated silver on baud , will
promptly unload it upon us ; they will de
mand gold from us for all that wo buy from
them , and thus rob us of our gold whllo wo
tnko their sllvor. With "freo coinage1' in
sight we shall fall from a gold to tbo silver
basis before the bill Is passed. The last
words of the late lamented Secretary Win-
dom will prove true :
"Probably before the swiftest ocean greyhound
hound could land its silver cargo in Now
York , the last gold dollar within reach would
bo safelv hidden in private boxes and in the
vaults of safo-doposit companies to \ > < . \
biought out only by a high piornium of ex
portation. "
it Is a dangerous sea upon which we have
embarked. You should ask yourselves why
you should endanger the gold basis for sil
ver. Does an ono assert that silver would
bo better for you or for the cojntry I Impos
sible. Noonodaios go so far its this. All
that the wildest advocate of the change von-
tuics to say Is that ho belloves
that silver could bo made as good as gold ,
llvoiybodv * knows that nothing could bo
made bettor. Lot us ask why any ono but
an owner of silver should wish silver to bo
made artitleiallv anything ulso than it is in
trinsically. What benollt to any ono , except
the owner of silver , that the metal silver
shoulu nut lemain whore natural causes
place it , liku the metals copper and nickel ?
Why should it bo cicdlted with anything but
its own merits I There was no piojudlco in
the mind of any ono against it. it has had a
fair race with told ; the Held is always open
for It , or for any metal , to prove itself better
suited for the basis of value. If silver be-
cauio more valuable. In the maritot and
steadier In vuluo than gold , It would sup
plant gold. Why not give ttio position
to the inotal that wins in fah1 coni-
netitioni Oolu needs no bolstering by legis
lation ; it bpoults for itself , llvory gold coin
is worth jubt what it professes to bo worth in
any part of the woild ; no doubt about it ; no
possible loss ; and what Is equally important ,
no possible speculation ; its value cannot bo
raised and cannot bo depressed. The speculator
later , having no chance to iramblo upon its
xips uii't downs , dooa not favor it ; but'tills is
the very icason you snould laver that which
gives you absolute security of value nil the
time. Your interests and tbo inloio isof the
speculator are not the same. Upon your
losses ho manes his gains.
Ono reason urged why sllvor should bo purchased -
chased and coined is that thn country has not
enough "money , " and that free comago of
sllvor will give it iiioio. But if wo need moro
' money , " the only metal which it Is wise to
buy Is gold. Why issue your notes for sil
ver , which is falling in vnluo and involves un
known dangers , when lor these snino notes
jon cnn got the solid , pure nrttclo itself , real
money , gold , which cannot possibly entail a
loss upon ttio country ( But Is It true that
the country has not enough "money ! " that
is , you remember , the coined article used for
exchanging other articles. If so , It is a now
discovery. We have not biilTcied for want
of coined money In times past , and yet there
is for each man , woman and child $5 moro
"money" in citeulation than thereover was ,
Wo have moro circulating medium that is ,
' money"per head than any country in
Kuropo , with ono exception , Franco , where
the people do not use chectts and drafts as
much us other similar countries a fact
which makes necessary many times
moro coined money than wo require.
Still , thcie Is llttlo objection to
having just ns much coined money as Is do-
slrod , provided it Is not debased , out honest
iilonoy ; and tho'only way to bo sure of that is
to buy gold and coin It Into "money"-
silver , tlio future valuoof which is so doubt
ful , and the purchases of which hnvo so far
noon a losing speculation. Asic the advocate
of moro money why gold is not tbo best
metal for the government to buy and coin
Into money for the people , and sco what ho
has to say , Gold Is as much an American
product as silver ; our mines furnish moro
than two millions of dollars of it every
month. Ho could have no objection except
that this would not tend to keep up the prlcu
of Ills own oroduct , silver. Ho could not
deny that It would give safer money for the
people.
There Is another plea urged on bo 1mlf of
sllvor. Many public 111011 toll us that silver
coinage "is In ihonlr , " that people want it
because they think that it wilt inn it o money
"cheap , " and that , sjlvor being less valuable
than gold , the dobta of people could bo moro
easily paid , lint lot mo call your attention
to ono point just hero. The savings and the
property of the people could only bo thus
reduced In value if the gold standard fell.
As long as all government notes wore kept
equal to gold , as at present , no matter what
amount of silver the government bought or
coined , not thu slightest change is possible.
Only after the financial crisis had como , and
the gold standard had gone down In the
wreck , and every dollar of gold was with
drawn and hold for high premiums , could
any change occur to favor ono class or nn-
otherl If any man Is vaguely Imagining that
ho is to save or inako In some way by the
government becoming Involved in trouble
with its debased silver coin and sllvor pur
chases , let htm remember that. In order that
this vain expectation can bo realUed. there
must ilfst como to his government a loss of
ability to inntcogood hts determination to keep
its silver dollar equal to gold , whnn gold
would at once vanish mid command a
premium. A wise secretary of the treasury
has truly foretold the result :
'This sudden retirement of ftWO.OOO.OOO of
gold , with the accompanying uanlo , would
cause contraction and commercial disnstorun-
paralleled in human expoilonce , and our
country would at once stop down to the sil
ver basis , when there would no longer bo any
Inducement for coinage , and silver dollars
would sink to their bullion vMuo. "
The man who tries to bring about this dis
aster in the hope to protlt by it Is twin
urotbor to him \\ho would wreck the express -
press train for the cbanco of shnrlni ; its con
tents , or would drive tbo shin of state on the
rocks for u chance of securing a part of the
wrecked cargo. Ho 1s a wrecker and a specu
lator. Ills Intervals uro opposed to the In
terests of thu lollinu mosses.
Again , wo are constantly told that the
masses of tua yooplo favor "freo silver coin-
Due , " or at least uphold the present sllvor
Inwi , because they have received , the Impres
sion , somehow or other , that the moro silver
there H-eolnod. the more money will como
to them , Lot us look Into that. When
tbo government bujs sllvor bullion , It
glvos Its own notes or silver dollars for it.
Who guts these ! The owners of tbo sllvor
bullion. How can ttieso bo taken from thinr
pockets uuU put Into the pockoU of tbo
pcoptot From what wo know of the silver-
men , wo cannot expect them to present many
of their dollars to anybody ; it will only be
when they buy the labor or the products of
the people that they will give thcso dollars
at the valuoof a hundred cents which have
cost them only seventy-eight. Will they
give moro of these soventy-elght-cent dollars
than they would have to give of one-hundred-
cent dollars for the same labors or products I
No , not until or unless the effort of the gov-
cinmcnt to glvonn artiliclal value to silver
broke down , and our money lost value , when
n dollar might not bo worth linlf
a dollar In purchasing power
calculnred upon gold value , they
would always trlvc less value than before ,
How , then , can the working people or the
farmers bo benefited ! It Is the owners of
the sllvor , who will give tno government
seventy-eight conts' worth of bullion and got
for it a dollar , who will make the prollt.
Surclv this Is clear. Up to this tlmo the
dollar which the farmer or worklngman re
ceives Is still worth n dollar beeauso the gov
ernment has been able , by trying hard , to
keep It worth this ; but , when "fieo coinage
of silver" comon , the silver dollar must fall
to Its real value 7" ! cents and the farmer
and worklngman will bo defrauded , so that
the Interests of the farmer , mechanic , laborer
and all who receive wages , are that the
"money" they got should bo of the highest
value , and not cheap gold , and not silver.
Up to this time wo have hold fast to gold
as the standard. liver } thing in the United
States is based upon gold today , all sllvor
notes or coins being Kept equal to gold.
Has that bcoti a WHO or an unwise
policy ) Would it not bo best to lot the
gold -itnndurd go , to which the advanced na
tions cling , and especially Dtltatn. and adopt
the silver standaul of our South American
neighbors ? Upon the solid rock of gold as
our basis article wo have built up the
wealimost country In the world , a > id tbo
gieatest agricultural , manufacturing , and
mining and commeicial country ever known.
Wo have prospered beyond any nation the
sun over shone upon. In no country nro
wages of labor so high or the masses of the
people so Well off Shall we discard the gold
basis , or oven endanger it ! This Is the ques
tion before the people of the United States
today.
Thn Now York Kvenlnp Post is n fie < > -
trade organ , out It has recently said that it
would lather bo the party to pass ton McKinley -
Kinloy bills than ono silver bill such as was
unroil , and I , aiopubllcan and a believer in
the wisdom of protection , toll you that I
would lather give up tlio McKiiilov bill and
pass the Mills bill , if for the exchange I
could have the present sllvor bill reuoalod
and silver treated like other motals. In the
next presidential cnmpjign , if I have to vote
for a man In favor of sllvor and protection , or
for a man In favor of tbo gold standard and
Iron trade , I shall vote and worn for the lat
ter , because my Judgment tolls mn that oven
the tariff is not hall so important for the
good of tire country as the maintenance of
the highest standard for the money of the
pojple.
Would it not bo well for you to listen to
men who have your confidence , and who
have been compelled bv their onlci.il posi
tions to investigate and study this silver
question well ? President Harrison is well
known as a most conscientious man. Hols
not rich ; ho is poor. If ho has anything at
bcait , it is the good of the plain working people
plo of this country. lie has had to study
this subject , and he tells you that ho finds
that the Hist thing a debased silver dollar
will do is to go forth and cheat some poor
man who has to take It for his products or
labor. Kx-President Cleveland , like Presi
dent Harrison , is a poor man ; his sympathies
nro with the plain worulng people the
masses. lie had to study the question that
ho might act upon it ; and although many of
his party have boon led away Into the cru
sade for silver temporarily , It is to bo hoped
( for to Its credit , let mo say , tno democratic
paity has hlthorio boon the stanch friend of
the best money for the people } Mr. Cleve
land felt that bo must toll tno truth
and denounce the free sllvor coinage Idea ,
because ho found that it must injure tha
workers of the nation. His recent letter
gives another proof that ho is a natural
leader of men n bravo man and not n
coward. His personal prospects ho weighs
not against the true welfare of the tellers
who once made him president. In addition
to these , no uolor , purer , or grander demo
crat over managed the finances of this nation
than Mr. Manning ; no abler , purer , or
grander republican over did so than Mr.
Wimlom. These men were friends of the
masses , if over the masses had friends. Both
had to investigate the silver question that
they might learn what was best and act so ns
to uromoto th'e permanent welfare of tlio
peoplo. Both became deeply concerned about
the of "debased "
Impending danger money ,
and used all their powers to stop roprus'on-
tatlves In congress from forcing the govern
ment to Imperil the Interests of the workingman -
man , who must have thu ocst money Jor his
labor or products , or bo the prey of specu
lators. These great men , two of them exalted -
alted to tno highest political ofllco upon the
earth by your suffrages , had and have at
heart only the good of the many
as against the possible enrichment of
the few. Political opponents as they were or
are , that they should agree upon this ques
tion must surely give every farmer , mo-
clanlc | and workingman In the United States
grave reason for believing that tboy , and
not the advocates of silver , are his wisest
counsellors.
I close with ono word of ndvico to the
people. Unless the government ceases to
burden itself , month by month with moro
sllvor , or If the free coinage of silver bo
seriously entertained , avoid silver ; when you
lay by anything , lot it bo in gold : when you
deposit in the savings bank , lot it bo a trold
deposit ask the bank to give you
a gold receipt therefor. There is
no tiso in the poor taking any risk.
If you do not thus act promptly , you
will tind no gold loft for you. The specula
tors and those closely identified with busi
ness will hnvo it all. It U a fact full of warn
ing that no bonds could bo sold to advantage
today which were not made specially payable
In gold. There is danger ahead. Whatever
happens you can sloop soundly upon gold.
Silver will bring bad dreams to wlso men.
Our government can do tnucn ; it is very
strong ; but there are two things which it
cannot do : it cannot by itself , against
the world permanently give to sil
ver n higher value than it pos-
htoson throughout the world as metal ,
though this Is what it U trying to do ; and it
cannot lesson thu value of gold. Somu day ,
perhaps , you may have reason to thank mo
for the advice I have given you , although I
hope not.
Do not think , however , that I despair of
the republic never ; oven If dragged Into the
dlftlcultlos inseparable from silver , and mat
ters become as bad witn us as they are today
in the Argentine Republic , where ono gold
dollar Is worth two and a half currency
dollars , there Is no occasion to fear the final
result , The good sense of the people will
restore the cold basis after a Hue , and the
republic will march on to the front rank
among nations ; but the silver experiment
will cost much ; and it is bettor that the
direct loss should fall as much as possible
upon the tow of the moneyed class than upon
the masses of the people. At best the latter
must s u ( Tor most , for moneyed men know
bolter than others can how to protect thorn-
solves. All this loss , I am sure , the people
would prevent if they could only bo made
to understand tlio question ; for their Inter
ests , far moro than thosa of the rich , lie with
honest money , and their wishes have only to
bo expressed to their toprosentutivos to pre
vent the threatened crlsi.s ,
Sllvor , owing to changes of vbluo , has become -
como the tool of the speculator. Steady ,
pure , unchangeable gold has ever been , and
never was so much as now , the best Instru
ment for the pi election of the masses of the
peoplo.
I have written In vnln If this paper does
not do something to explain why this is so ,
and to Impel the people to lot their represen
tatives in congress clearly understand that ,
como what may , tha stamp of the republic
must bo made true , the money of the Amer
ican people Kept the highest and surest in
value of all money in the world , above nil
doubt or suspicion , Its standard in thofuturo ,
us in the past , not fluctuating silver , but un
changing gold. AM > IU\Y : CAIINBQII : .

Jt is a . "Nice

cottage in : i quiet neighborhood. Nine rooms ,
Kuninng water Newly painted Will lease
on lorn ; time to desirable tenant. " Tint is
the way the advertisement spoke to mo us
I sat In the dingy little olllco of
the liotnl , the elasticity of whose uilcs re
garding the payment of board in advance by
parties without baggage bus rendered it
peculiaily available to those connected with
newspapers and thcrtforo disconnected
from any hope of financial reward. Nlco ,
roomy coUairo' ' There was rest in the
pnraso. I throw back my head and saw In
the clouds of .iir.oko which hung under the
coiling , a low , rambling Queen Anne struc
ture , with a spacious lawn. The day was
tiot and ono of these squirting nrrangomc'iits ,
which seem to turn water into fireworks ,
was hissing near the pansy bed
nnd filling n radius of twenty feet
with rainliows. Under the tiees
which clustered the thickest at the side of
tLo collage ; Iho children were plajing
quiotiv , nnd under n hidn porch when , the
shade was deepest and the broe/o the most
caressing , lolling in a hammock nnd alter
nately reading Hiloy's country poems , was u
man whom It would bo unsatisfactory to do-
scriuc. Inside the house n wife in muslin
was sitting at a piano humming rustic airs
nnd n domestic in clean linen was sorting
strawberries into cool and fracllo china for
the evening meal. Vines twisted In and out
the IrellLes which bid thu doorways , and ,
from the daik and shadowy ivcchsos
vivid roses Ibrust themselves to drink the
sunshine. In the back yard hydrangeas nnd
and hollycocks wore- plentiful , and in a bid
jusl far enough removed for harmony luxuri
ous lilies bent nnd burned
Tno next day 1 paused before n building
bearing n number which tallied with ih.it
given my cottage in the advertisement. This
structuio was nol Queen Anno. If its like
flourished under any queen , it must have
been under some ancient nnd mistaken reg
nant of the Canniual Islands. It hnd
been freshly painted a bught sellow ,
into which Chicago smoke and dust liad set
tled in leprous patches. Theio was no lawn.
The house rose Hal and insulting from the
street , and the rast-iion bell handle on the
outside of the door was askew Irom thu re
peated contests with univury uodosluans.
The windows had no blinds nor shudes and in
the two or three visible rooms ono could see
piles of dirt , waste tiaper , cobwubs and the
linger maiks of an unwashed tenantry. The
chimney was lop-sided and on thu walls out
side were numerous riuald sentences wilttcn
in blue clinlk by vicious children. The adver
tisement said -'in a quiet ncichbortiood. "
Perhaps the neighborhood is quiet oiiougn
after 1 o'clock at night , when the calilo cars ,
which for cightcui hours cia = h past the rot-
tago , have been withdrawn , and the wagons
and carriages which clash all day upon the
stone pavement , have not Loun their desper
ate procession. But , If onu has any use for
trailing vines and hono.vsuckles a > id tangled

"What you want , " said a fiionil the day
after my cottage expedition , "Is a Hat. "
"What I am , " 1 said , "Is ono but go on. "
"You Imvo u small family and you can cot
live or six rooms cosy rooms , In a quiet
neighborhood and enjoy lifo. "
On tlio way to u Hat which was described
In the Sunday newspaper with a rhetoric
like the peroration of ono of Hob Ingersoll's
uulogios of the dead. I mot another friend ,
who asked me what I was about. I told him
iml ho said :
"You wont to bo mighty careful about
lenting a flat. We've Just movt'd out of ono.
Wouldn't ' stand it. You see , you have
to have a top Hat or a bottom ono.

jnough to hold your beds. Wo paid Jtt ) a

pou have visions of n willing ! < lave who com-
nines the dignity of a butler with the delicate
ind grateful services of a ynlet. But let mo
: ell you bofoio you mnko any mistakes , that
Lho janitor of n Hat is a. king who

tvould bo without a financial arrangement

Llmos worse than the waiter or the portoii or
my of the other robbers who are licensed by
justom to prov upon humanity. Ho divides
your money with the grocer , tnobutchor , the
