Invitation of your longuo toaollvcrnnaddress
under its tvtispicot oil Fnilay , July ttl , In the
city of Uncoln , permit me to say I appreciate
the kindness of the invitation nnd thank you
nio t sincerely for tho'snmo. It is , however ,
Impossible for mo to accept.
I nin a republican , and I do not cans to put
myself In the doubtful attitude of partici
pating In a movement which , so fur ns 1 can
Judge , Is In the Interest of those who scelt to
accomplish the overthrow of the republican
party.
The platform of the last repjibllcan na
tional convention declared in favor of the
coinage of tho'Ainerican product of both gold
and silver as money. Impartial history de
clares that the republican party has been
true to every promise , and that It has inado
every honorable endeavor to redeem every
pledge. Had the lepubllcan party 'continued
In power , I believe there would nave como a
fair and reasonable solution of the money
question without any disturbance , of the
fonlldenco and credit of the country.
The great outcry of today against
the present tittitudo of a demo
cratic administration and thn expected
action of a democratlo congress , .omes from
the very men who. either directly or Indi
rectly , defeated the republican party , bo
farns I am individually concerned , I bellove
the welfare of the common people can be
best subserved anu protected under republi
can administration. It is already evident
the people can hope for nothing from de
mocracy : and you will please pardon mo if 1
fall to see any prospect for relief
In the success of that other party ,
which adopts us Its platform
n crazy quilt of Incongruous isms , represent
ing mostly thu impracticable theories of dis
affected humanity.
The democratic party has undoubtedly
surrendered , to the gold power ; the people's
party , at tlio best , can only hope to carry a
few states ami secure a few scats in the con
gress of the United States. In my Judgment
there is no hoi > e on the money question for
the American people except in the return to
power of the republican party under the
control of those younger and more aggressive
republican leaders who do not fear to stand
as champions of the interests of the common
people.
Ills Terminal Opinion.
lam a profound believer in the use of
both gold and silver as monov. 1 advocated
the restoration of free coinage before any
of those who are now thu self-selected cham
pions of silver in Nebraska had ever opened
their lips on the subject. At the opening of
the Corn palace in Sioux City , four years
go. 1 said :
At the risk of bolng tedious I a k your care
ful attention to the iiri'suntatlon of another
crave public question , which , in my judgment ,
Is of such momentous Importance 10 the entire
West that all our people Miould join in vigor
ous ulTorts to hecuio Its eariy and favorable ,
solution.
Wo of the west must liavo cheap money. Not
money Intrinsically cheap.butclioup In interest
Charges for Its tl'iu ,
Wo nro money borrowers and wo need vast
minis with which to hasten thu development of
our wonderful resources.
Wo have good security to plvc , and r.clther
repudiation nor bankruptcy Is to bo feared.
llut the amount of money In circulation Is
becoming Inadeiiuatu for the dully commer
cial necessltloH of thocountry. it Is almost
Imposslblo today for our local banks to ac
commodate their regular customers at 10 per
cent. Tlmy have not u dollur to loan on the
best paper to any ono else.
In popular parlance , "money Is scarce. "
The country Krow.s to fast that the demand
Increases almost by multiplication.
An Inadequate cfrculathiK medium adds to
the relative value of the dollar nnd cheapens
tlio relative vnluo of everything else.
Every debtor must work harder or sell moro
property to mocchlsobllgationbthan ho other
wise would.
The borrower U compelled to pay a hlKlui
ratu of Interest , and , worst of all , capital Is
withdrawn from tiadi * . manufacture urn ! all
kinds of enterprise , for the capitalist will not
risk his numoy In uncertain ventures , wheii ho
can safely loan it where It pays hotter.
At such times , UK ) , the millionaire ) gamblers

light as to jeopardize the credit of everybody
else.
Astrlnpent money market closes many a
ihop door and robs thousands of honest men
of nn opportunity U ) earn their dally btoad.
It fosters combinations and trusts , It destroys
competition , it makes the rich richer anU the
poor poorer.
On the other hand , with plenty of money In
circulation , thi ) Interest ruto falls dohts can
bo moro easily paid , credit is restored , trade
revives , manufactures Increase , communities
flourish and labor Is In demand. All this hap
pens without Injury to any one.
Money ouuht to bo so plenty In the United
Btatos that it can IHI borrowed for any Iojltl-
inato purpose nt 3 orI per cent. The man who
has moro of It than ho can profitably use
ought not to complain at either of those rates.
Think\vhat4 percent money would mean to
thu west ] It would build a manufactory by
every vritorfull , double the cultivated acre-
BKO of every county , put new llfo into every
enterprise , astonish the census of uvoryclty ,
lower every .transportation rate , mid to thu
price of every farm product and klndlo the
tire of happiness on every hoiirthstonc.
When the creenbacker declared tlmt the
government should provlilo money enough to
supply every demand for Its use , ho H S rlKht.
when ho Insisted that an Irredeemable paper
currency was money and would answer the
snnto uuriMMO an gohf , he was wrong ; and the
popular Intelligence soon discovered the
error.
llut our mountain ranges produce a metal
which , until a few years UKO , was money thu
wldu world over. Hllvcr WHS ono of the
itnndard coins of thu United Htato.s from tlio
birth of Independence until Its demonetization
crept Into thu statutes ot coiifross , either by
mistake or fraud.
I assort that the American people , and es
pecially these of the west , demand the free
mid unlimited coinage of silver. I do not
liieuii that thu financial ntruln > of thocountry
should bo carried on by the actual use of stf-
vor , for it has Uicn demonstrated that
the bllver certlllcalo answers bettor.
Nor am I certain that the pres-
pnt standard should bo adhered to.
Hut let us restore the law which madu silver a
legal lender for all debts , public and private.
Lotus give the right to any man to deposit the
bullion in the treasury ami receive for II cer-
tlllcutes redeemable in silver coin , and thu
treat problem of nil adequate , Jloxlblu nd
tahlu currency Is solved.
Thu assertion that a government can have
too much money Is not tenable , inflation by
Isimaiico of Irredeemable plipor Is ono thliiKi
expansion by cohrngo Is another. If wo coin

There Am Other Uumliau * Involvoil.
From timci to time thereafter , before the
arious republican clubs and organizations
in the United States , I maintained substan
tially the stuno views. My present position
Is quite fully sot forth In iv letter addressed
by mo to George Cunton , editor of Social
Economist , New York City , on July 7,18U3 , a
copy of which I hereto attach.
1'urmit mo further to suggest that the
money question is not the only question
which vitally affects the welfare and pros
perity of the American people. U wo se
cure the free coinage of the entire product
of American silver , what benetlt will the
pcoplo of our country receive if the trade
balances are against the United Stalest The
gold men are right In their assertion that
the gold of the country would go abroad to
settle our trade balances , und when this
country is drained of its gold hard
times. distress and panic will re
sult , as It did In 1657 when WTU.OOO.OOu
of American gold had gone abroad to
settle our trade balances under a democratic
system of low tariff. The American people
will receive no good results from the ( roc
coinage of stiver unless they slop buviug the
manufactured products of 10uruH ) > and ueei
the American gold as wnll as the American
silver to maintain American manufactures ,
pay American labor and build American
homes.
My dear sir , I stand how , and at all times
( or America aitd'Auiericanlsin as against the
world j for tbo coinage of every ounce ol
American gold and silver , coupled with the
adequate protection of every American man
ufacture and the upbuilding of every Ameri
can Industry.
During the first sti months of 1803 wo
scut abroad about $ .V,000OOOof ) gold , because
nnd only because , wo purchased tunny times
Ti < ) ,000,000 of foreign manufactured goods
The American people will discover by nnd
jy nnd God grant the discovery mny como
n time to avoid much suffering , poverty and
llstrcss that their prosperity cannot como
hroush Ihopurchase of cheap things ; nnd
: hat the greatest good to the greatest num-
Mir cnn bo secured by the protection of every
American enterprise from disastrous for
eign competition. I remain , sir , very truly

OMAHA , July 7. George Gtmtoti , Esq. , Ed-
tor Social Kconomlst , HI Union Square.
Now York : Dear Sir In your favor of
July 1 you ask me for my vtuws on "what
congress shall do when It meals. " I presume
you refer moro especially to what action
night to bo taken In view of the present
financial situation.
Wo are in the midst of n bankers' panic.
It commenced with thu Ilarlng failure In
London , which was followed toy monetary
llsturbanccs throughout nil Christendom.
I'ho present trouble in the United States is
ilmost wholly the result of unnecessary
alarm. When the reserve In the United
Stains treasury dropped to SIW.OOO.OOO
anil then to SlKl.tXXi.UOO. the advocates
of a purely gold standard thought they saw
their opportunity , and proclaimed an 1m-
pending linancial disaster , laying the blame
therefor almost wholly to the failure of the
United States to eliminate silver from our
monetary system. In 1115 * judgment almost
all the resulting troubles have followed be-
causu of tlio panic thus created , 1 do not
ljullovo that the Sherman act hud anything
to do with this panic. I am not n believer In
thu Sherman act ; 1 never would 1mvo voted
for it ; 1 do not think Iho government should
make its treasury a pawn shop , nud I would
gladly sco the act Itself repealed , provided
there can be i-ouplcil with thu repeal
some fair legislation on the silver subject.
Such legislation must nccessirlly bo experi
mental in its character. Hut every man
who behoves in thu use of both gold and sil
ver as money , should oppose the uncondi
tional repeal of thu Sherman act. If thatnct
is once repealed , the gold men will bo strong
enough in every congress to prevent the en-
ictment of any legislation reinstating silver
as money.
Must Tleal with Tacts ,
It is useless to speculate ns to whether or
not silver could have ooen maintained at a
parity with gold on the basis of 10 to 1 it Its
free coinage had never been suspended in
the United States : wo must deal today with
the existing situation. 1 do not think It safe
to provide for the free coinage of silver on
the old basis ; nor do 1 bollcvo that the pres
ent depreciated prlco of silver should betaken
taken as the standard of rcmonetization.
I have no ooubt the remonotizV.ion of
silver in the United States would
speedily and certainly appreciate the
price of silver , not only in this country , but
throughout the whole world. No matter
what other governments do , this country
ought not to eliminate silver from use as a
coin metal. Any legislation In thatdlrectlon
will be looked upon by the common people as
In the interest of the money i > owcr for the
express purpose of increasing tlio purchas
ing power of money and decreasing the sell
ing price of overythinir produced by human
toil. It is a fact , which should not bo over
looked by statesmen , that the price of
American silver und the price of American
wheat reached low water mark on the sumo
day.
It is presumptuous in any individual to
prouose legislation on so important a sub
ject. My own view , however , epitomized , is
this : The silver bullion ot other countries
should be shut out by projMjr tariff and free
coinage of thu American product provided
for on a basis of 120 to 1. Such legis
lation might decrease the price of American
stocks and American securities. The bond
holder might be compelled to clip silver
coupons instead of gold ; but I think the
common pcoplo of the country , the pro
ducers and the toilers , would bo benellted
and rewarded. .
KDuctK of Contraction.
Ecoaomists Insist that the volume of
money in a country has nothing to do with
thu intrinsic value of the dollar and this is
true so far as the intrinsic value of the coin
is concerned , but the amount of money in
circulation in a country has almost every
thing to do with the interest raio on money ,
with the ability to borrow money for use in
manufactures , improvements and specula
tion. Since the recent monetary scare
many branches of Industry have been
closet ! to American workmen because of
the inability of the manufacturers to
borrow money from the banks as heretofore ,
and t ) is because n large part , of the actual
montj in the country had been taken out of
circulation by the panic. Small doposito. s
have withdrawn their money from bunks ,
nnd the deposit vaults of the country have
in them today millions of dollars which three
mouths ago wore on deposit in our bunks.
Therefore , the interest rate ha ? increased
and it is Ulfllcult in most communities to
borrow moneyon any reasonable
terms. The result is stagnation of business ,
stoppage of all kinds of enterprises , and in
a very short time thousands of American
workmen will bo out of employment.
Heretofore 1 have not been very much of a
silver advocate , lam not now , except so
far as the coinage of the Amerio.ui product
is concerned , on a basis which I believe can
bo maintained. The recent events , instead
of bringing mo tobcliovo in the single gold
standard , have had quite the opposite re
sult. For the world at largo to aban
don the use of silver as money would
be to creatly enhance the power of gold ; to
greatly diminish the volume of money , and
thereby the borrowing classes and the pro
ducing classes would bo moro at the mercy
of the money holders than they ever have
been heretofore. ' 1 ho United States is si sil
ver producing country , and I do not bolfevo
it can afford to lot time' nations not silver
producing compel it to abandon silver us a
money.
Hotter n Premium on Go : l.
It is better that wo should , if necessary ,
buy gold at a premium to settle our foreign
balances with than that the American'pcoplo
should be compelled to pay higher prices in
human labor and human endeavor for u dollar
lar because of the adoption of thu single gold
standard. I am an advocate of the American
theory. We are not dependent either for
manufactures or money on the outsiuo world.
The gold shipments to Europe during
the past few months to settle
our trade balances would not have
been necessary if the American people had
been content to wear clothing of their own
manufacture , instead of purchasing abroad.
If the United States opens its ports to the
manufactured products of cheap labor
abroad and submits to the dictation of the
gold men of ICuropo , God pity the laborers ,
mechanics hud producers of America.
I hope congress will rise above partisan
ship and legislate for America on the Ameri
can plan protection to American Industries
nnd tl.o maintenance of American money ,
both gold and silver , on a fair basis. Yours
truly , JOHN M. TIIIWSTON ,

GOOD EFFECT OF THE PANIC

In his weekly financial letter , Mr. Henry
Clews , the Wall street banker and writer ,
&ays :
"During tho-week affairs lu Wall street
have continued to struggle on against the
ulverso monetary conditions , and with some
yielding In the prices of securities. Now
uul then the dlfllculty of renewing maturing
onus has stricken holders of Important
incs of stocks , and heavy rcalirlngs resulted ,
which wcro turned to account by the 'bears'
and produced fresh breaks in quotations.
Ono important case of this character occurred -
currod nt the beginning of the week , which
resulted in a heavy fall In the grangers and
other stocks , from which tlio market has
since only partially recovered. The effect
reached Ixnnloii also , nnd uniavorably in-
ilucnccd that market for the time being , nnd
caused the sale here of stocks held there.
The trouulo of Wall street houses with re
spect to the money market is declining. The
ate largo fall in prices has reduced the
ninout to bo borrowed against stocks , and
the withdrawal of securities from the mar
ket for investment Is having a line effect , so
that the wants of borrowers nro much more
easily satisfied ; while the largo shrinkage
in prices makes stocks correspondingly safer
is collateral , The ruto of Interest , thouah
still high , Is not so costly as to raise n serious
obstacle to buying. The dlftlcultles with
which the market has now to contend
ire of the character that usually fol
lows such an extensive break ns has
recently happened. Some operators
have been sold out ; and numerous others are
crippled. Thus the machinery of specula
tion is disabled ami the foioos to resist un
favorable influences uro enfeebled. Hut
outside the ranks of the speculators * there
stands u force of Investors watching for bar
gains ; and the purchases of that class nro
now becoming a very substantial rallying
l > ewer to the market. Not only are the
liriccs of stocks very exceptionally low , but
the condition of the railroads is at present
unusually prosperous , making the induce
ment to investors ono of rare advantage.
Question of Time , Not Fiict.
' The general condition of linancial affairs
is improving , though the progress Is slow.
I'liero has been n distinct abatement of the
late apprehension , and recovery is regarded
as less u question of fact than of time. The
obstacles give way slowly , but still they are
receding all along the line. The most stub
born difficulty is tlto extraordinary scarcity
ot currency , which keeps the reserves of the
banks below the legal minimum. There are
some indications of the beginning of u rollux
of currency from the interior , but the
amount of such receipts Is as yet small.
There can bo no doubt that a largo amount
of money has gone Into hoard , not only iu
this locality , but throughout the country.
The city savings banks also are estimated to
be withholding some ten millions from use
In the reserves of the associated banks.
These are diflleultlcs of a most stubborn
nature , and can only disappear when the
timid hoarders have recovered from their
insane fright.
'The concentration of money nt Chicago Is
perhaps a much moro important element in
tnls dearth of money thun is generally
supposed. The tens of thousands who
are constantly urifting to the fair take
with them money drawn from the
batiks in every part of the country ,
5md those streams drain the interior
of currency which would otherwise find its
way to tills city. The amount thus floating
in the hands of those visiting the fair or as
sociated with it may easily run into the mil
lions , and it docs not llnd its way hither bo-
caiisp it is mainly In the pocttots of the
public rather than in the vaults of the
Chicago banks. The evidence of accumula
tion of money at that point is plain in the
rate of S1.75 to & ! per § 1,000 discount for ex
change on New York , which leaves a large
profit on shipping currency thither and is
having that effect. This is a condition of
tilings which may possibly continue as the
attendance at the fair increases during the
coming months.
Honey Iteturnlnc to Xow York.
"Per contra , there is nn improving ten
dency in the exchanges between New York
nud other points. Philadelphia is beginning
to reduce its large indebtcdaess to us in
cash. The currency sent to the 1'acilic
coast banks is coining bacK , and small
streams are llowing in from other sections.
Some of the country banks are taking back
the paper scut hero for rediscount at an
earlier stage of the crisis , and altogether ,
outside of our relations with Chicago , there
are apparent the beginnings of a movement
that may be expected to replenish our stock
01 money at any early day. The
condition of the foreign exchanges has
brought us close upon the point at
which it would pay to ship gold
hither from London. Shipments
would probably have been made this
week , but London sales of stocks on this
market , together with the unwillingness of
the Bank of England to part with gold , scorn
to have deferred the movement for the
moment. Imports of the yellow metal , how
ever , are regarded as a probability of the
near future. A turn in the domestic and
foreign exchanges is the one thing needful
to the revival of confidence among the
banks ; and that scorns to be in a fair way to
realization.
"Tho closing symptoms of the market are
hopeful. The improving tendencies noted
above now show a fuller development , and
both among the banks and on the s toe it ex
change the feeling is much more confident
than at the opening of the week. Three
movements now afford ilstinct promise of
important early relief-tno return of cur
rency from the country , tlio retirement of
clearing house certificates and the importa
tion of gold. This , with other improvements
in the prospect , is making the 'bears' cau
tious and encouraging tlio buying of stocks ,
Wo anticipate an improving market from
this time forward. "

An Omaha commission man remarks that
; ho time is coming when there will bo n
chance in the butter business in Nebraska.
In the past there has been no Incentive for
; ho farmers to make good butter as it was
ill sold for ono price at the country stores
mil till dumped Into ono box. The woman
who made poor butter got Just as much for it
is the ono who made a really choice article.
Woll-to-do farmers who can make good but
ter are tired of this > vay of selling their
product and they will do oi.o of two things ,
cither turn their attention to other pursuits
; lmn butter making or else find a market
for their butter whore it will bring more
ihan at the country store. The fact that the
receipts of buttcraroso light ata ITmo when
pasture is good would seem to indicate that
there Is not so much butter being made ,
and that farmers do not think that
that butter making pays as well
ns something else. At" the same time a
< oed many farmers nro commencing to ship
their butler direct to the commission men or
ID the retail dealers , showing that they are
striving to got rid of the ' -one prico" way of
selling tit the country store. A great many
of the retail dealers got a very largo proportion
tion of their butter direct from the makers.
There is no reason why the woman that
mikes good butter should not receive more
than the ono who makes a poor article , and
it would look ns if It was about time for the
country merchants to commence buying but
ter on its merits if they wish to hold the
butter business ot the country.

In corn there wasa , llKbt trade and the fluc

local operators were Inclined to look to the
financial troubles In the southwest , but the

over the ' west , moro than -was' needed , and
especially In the southern part of Kaunas and
the central portion ? of western Mutes. The

Kverylhlng seems to have worked against
the cattlemen this week , and values have gone
to smash. Thu early marketing of western

their htock whether In a markoluhle
condition or not , excessively hut

very worst Ihu trade has ever experienced.

lively scarce , but In splto ot this fact prices
have buffered u decline of f rom 26c to 40c on
all grades. The bruntof Ihedvcllue , however ,
has fallen on the half-fultod and grassy
Htock , both niitlvo and western , and values
uro off uny where from & 0c to 75c compared
with lust week. Mo. I of the western cattle
coming forward now are little better than

with the fuel that local houtea uru buying

Miy nothing of making nsnlo , and atthocloso
scarcely ns much had l > ooii sold as was loft lu

Thorn was not much doing In cows for the
reason that there was not much to bo done.
Including holdovers there wore scarcely n

yards. Uuyrrs' wntits were not at all
Dressing and the supply changed hnmls
slowly at all of n 10c decline ,
common to choice cows and heifers selling nt
fromjl.25 to } 3 , with thn bulk of the trading
nt from $1,50 lo $2.05. Uougli stock was In
poor donmnd and lower with common , the
very pond bulls soiling nround from $1.50 to
$2.05. Veals were In fair request at about
steady prices , with sales at from J2 to J5 ,
The feeder trade wa < uillot. | OITorliiRS , both
fresh nnd stale , wcro excessive and with a very
limited Inquiry fiom outsiders the movement
was decidedly light , with prices 25c to-lOo
lower thnn tin ) close of last week. Uond lo
choice feeders nro quotable at $3,003(3.25 :
fair lo good at $2,50S3,00 ; and common stulT
at$2.0Ka2.50. (
llotis The market for the week 'started ' out
very favorably. During the llrst Ihreodays
with fair supplies prices wcro very well sus
tained , but as receipts kept tip provisions
weakened badly , and the hogs were not long
In following suit. During the latter half ot
the week values have steadily decllnid , the
close being-lOc lower on all grades than a week
ago. There Is still plenty of money for
packers In hogs at prost-nl prices , but the dllll-
culty In seci'rlng loans and In making collec
tions prevents any enlargement In the opera
tions of many of tno piickers , Itecolpts keep
up surprisingly well ffnd the quality hero
shows no signs of deterioration with the aver
age weight around 251 pounds. Receipts at
present compare very favorably with a year
ugo both In quantity and quality.
The supply todiiy was fair , less than 7.000
bead , or fully 2,50U less than wore here on last
Saturday. There was a big Impiovement In
the shipping demand , shippers taking about
half the offerings. Incliiillinrstalu hogs , there
were over 10,000 on sale , and this , together
with the bearish tone to reports from Chicago ,
nero than counlerbalanced the Increased
shlpnlng demand. Trade opened slow , with
prices about 15c lower than VYIday's avorano
sales. Good to choice hogs of all weights sold
largely at $5.00 to S5.G5. with fair to good
grades at 15.5 , " ) and J5.GO. The eMremu range
was from $5.50 for rough mixed packers to
$5.70 for choice light weights. Although there
was no Improvement in prices , the
market became more active us thu
morning wore on and by the middle of the
forenoon about everything was Mild. Tlio big
bulk of thu trading was at $5.55 and $5.GO
against $5.70 to $5.80 Friday and $5.95 to $0 on
last Saturday.
