Three of the world's greatest econo
mists, Cernucbl, Dr. Arndt and Professor
Andrews, have recently declared that
free coinage of silver by the United States
alone is perfectly practical.
They say that a silver dollar is "back
ed by gold." So is even a cow, a sheep,
or a hog. That is, cows, sheep and bogs
can be "freely exchanged" for green
backs, and greenbacks are redeemed in
gold. '
They demonitized silver because it was
too dear, each silver dollar being worth
f 1.03 in gold. There was a time shortly
afterwards when it was exactly at par
with gold. Why didn't they remonitize
it then? '
Here are America's two Igreatest phil
anthropists, J. Pierpont' Morgan and
Mark Hanna, spending millions in the
effort to raise wages of laboring men and
the wage worker fools won't believe it.
It is really too bad.
Europe has no silver but the silver
money with which she does business.
Will she stop trade and traffio among
her people to flood us -with silver? That
is what the goldbugs say. But then
they were never known to say anything
that had sense or reason in it.
The Mexican national debt is not pay
able in gold, as has been asserted by
goldbug republicans, but in lawful
money of Mexico. When the French
were driven out in 1865 they had not a
dollar in the treasury. Their public debt
is now 1150,000,000 and they have the
money laid by to pay it as soon as due.
This great nation of over 70,000,000
people, containing a productive energy
exceeding any three . of "the most en
lightened nations" of Europe, most cer
tainly is able to establish and maintain
a monetary system of its own, and the
man who fears to try it has in him the
elements of a paltroon and a coward.
in leuu the tower bouse 01 congress
passed a free coinage bill, and before the
Benate had amended it by the substitu
tion of the Sherman act, the price of sil
ver advanced from about 84 cents per
ounce to $1.20 per ounce, or within 0
cents of par. This advance was made
within ten days after the free silver bill
passed the house. The same rise in sil
ver will occur after Bryan's election in
November.
What should an honest man do when
assaulted by a ruffian? Resist under the
pain of being choked, or submit and then
be murdered afterwards to cover up the
crime. The goldbug ruffians have made
an assault and threatened the severest
panic the world has ever seen
we do not elect McKinley. On
tbe otner nana, 11 we submit it means
hopeless slavery ever afterwards. We
say, stand up and jfight like men, hold
on to your farms and homes, resist fore
closure by continuances and stays, we
will bring you relief early next year.
The only objection to W. J. Bryan as
a presidential candidate so far brought
forward is that he is too youug. But
many of the great men of history were
younger than he when they took the
lead in publio affairs. Alexander had
conquered the world and died before he
was as old as Bryan. In our own coun
try, Hamilton, Clay and Webster were
all in the lead of public affairs when they
were younger than Bryan. England's
greatest statesman was much younger
when he took charge of the ship of state,
and laid the foundations for her future
policy.
BRYAN VS. SEWELL.
It follows as a necessary conclusion
that vicious legislation must be reme
died by the people who suffer from the
effects of such legislation, and not by
those who enjoy its benefit. Bryan at
Madison Square Garden.
Now, this is precisely the reason why
the people who are in downright earnest
about remedying vicious legislation will
not vote a ticket with a protected, sub
sidized, national banker, railroad mag
nate, millionaire on it
Mr. Sewell does not look like a sufferer.
The people cannot be made to believe
that Mr. Sewell is one of those "who suf-
from the effects "of vicious legislation,
but they know that he is one of those
"who enjoy its benefits." Free Republic.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
The populist state ticket is now com
pleted and will be found in another col
umn. From Gov. Holcomb, our incom
parable executive to the last name on
the list. They are men of pure life, able,
honest and efficient. These men will give
us an honest, efficient and economical
state government, a government of which
we will all be proud.
News from the republican headquart
ers is to the effect that all hope of defeat
ing the national ticket in this state is
abandoned. A return of the poll of the
state, made last week to the republican
headquarters is to the effect that Bryan
will carry the state by about 20,000
majority, and that the populist nomi
nees for congress will all be elected with
the possible exception of one.
The republican leaders have therefore
resolved that while a pretense will be
made to carry on the fight against
Bryan and the congressional ticket, the
real fight will be made on the state
ticket. They hope to hold many of the
free silver republicans who will vote for
Bryan and our congressmen, in line on
the republican state ticket, and they con
fidently expect that every gold bug
Cleveland democrat will vote for the re.
publican state nominees without a
scratch. Tbbe Castor's announcement
on Saturday that the gold bug demo
crats would not put up a ticket in this
state, sent joy to the hearts of the re
publican leaders, and Saturday and Sun;
day they were in better spirits than for
some time past.
The Independent presents the situa
tion to the populists of the state so that
they may know where the onBet is to be
made.
Populists must begin earnest work at
once. Tne election 01 tne wnoie popu
list state ticket is a matter of vast im
portance to the party, both in state and
nation. The party must not only hold
its organization intact, but it must in
crease its votes or it will lose all influ
ence on national legislation. It is owing
to the energy and self sacrificing work of
individual populists, that the money
question is now before the whole Ameri
can people. If we can elect our whole
Btate ticket, we can next bring forward
the ownership of railroads, telegraphs, or
some other fundamental policy of the
party, which is of just as much import
ance to the welfare of mankind as this
money question. Let every populist in
the state, off with bis coat and go after
these enemies of mankind with the enthu
siasm that is engendered by a righteous
cause and the energy inspired by the
hope of complete success.
"REDEEMABLE IN COIN."
Mr. Bryan in his Albany speech said:
"It is not to be expected that a person
will always find in any platform every
thing which he desires, and nothing which
he does not like." ,
That is well stated and is the exact
position taken by populists in regard to
the Chicago platform. There is one thing
in that platform the populists "does not
like," yet every populist is an enthusias
tic supporter of W. J. Bryan.
Populists do not believe that any gov
ernment can permanently float a paper
money issue redeemable in coin without
establishing a bank ol loans and dis
counts to protect its coin reserves. Cer
tainly no government has ever yet been
able to do so.
Whenever a government has issued "a
promise to pay in any sufficient quantity
and made it legal tender, it has always
suspended specie payments or been forced
to buy specie with bonds.
England issued paper money, a prom'
ise to ;pay note during the Napoleonic
wars, and then immediately suspended
payment. We did the same thing during
the civil war. The whole thing has al
ways been a sham and a fraud and al
ways wilt, and populists will nut advo
cate shams and frauds.
There are but two ways in which a gov
ernment can issue paper money. One is
the way the bank of France does it and
the other is the way the bank of Eng.
land does it.
When the French authorities issue a
note, they do not print on it, "The Bank
of France promises to pay on demand
five francs." They simply print on it
"five francs." No one can take it to the
bank and get gold or silver for it. It is
a full legal tender primary money. Un
der this system the Bank of Franceholds
more gold and silver than any other
European government.
The Bank of England issues notes re
deemable in gold on demand, but it is a
bank of loans and discounts. A large
part of the business of London is done
on money borrowed on call from the
Bank of England. If there is a run on
the banks gold reserve, it simply calls in
its loans which are all payable (in gold
and raises the rate of interest on loans
so high that no one can afford to borrow.
That piles op the gold in the Bank of
England's vaults.
Now if the United States issues a paper
money redeemable in coin, and Morgan
Ikelbeimer. Heidelback. Lazarus Frere
and their partners want to makea panic,
it will be an easy thing to gather np this
paper money and go to the treasury and
draw out the coin. How will the govern
ment get it back? There is but one way
Sell bonds.
It is for these reasons that populists
are opposed to a government paper
monev "redeemable in coin." It is an
unpracticable and unworkable scheme.
PROPHETS OF EVIL.
Every gold standard man in the
United States predicted at tip time of
passage of the Bland act that "it would
drive gold out of the country." But in
stead of the flight of gold it drew gold
to us. We gained by importation the
first year $4,000,000, 70,000,000 the
next and $90,000,000 during the third
year. During tne twelve years mat act
was on the statute books we gained
1221,000,000 of foreign gold.
They said it would destroy our credit
But United States 4 per cent bonds,
which were quoted at 101 on theday the
bill passed, sold at 120 within three
years and subsequently rose to 130.
They said it would prevent the resump
tion of specie payments, but specie pay
ments were resumed before the time set.
Tbey were the same dismal prophets of
evil which we have now.
HOWS THIS, GENTLEMEN?
The following document was not in
tended to get into the papers by "the
author, but it did so accidentally. We
quite agree with the gentleman that the
"money talk" hurts Mark Hanna's
boom.
'Headquarters Republican Steering
Committee, Keokuk, la., Aug. 22, 1896.
W. F. Foote, Dear Sir: In the ca
pacity of secretary of the private steer
ing committee of the republican party,
local, (local) I call your attention to the
great harm that is being done by talking
about raoneyt We must not talk money,
but 'abuse of the supreme court', re
pudiation,' 'tariff' and 'sectionalism.'
The truth is, that, if all is known about
money, we could not elect in any county
in the state and Bryan would be elected
sure. Now, don't be offended. We
know that you are a red hot republican,
but pardon us, the money talk hurts us.
Please in the future keep quiet on tne
money question. Truly,
Secretary Private Steering Committee."
PRIVILEGED ANARCHISTS.
What every economist said three years
ago has come true. The great banks of
New York city are on the verge of bank
ruptcy. None of them, however, will
go into the receiver's hands. They are
preparing to issue a lot of flat money
called clearance house certificates. It is
in direct violation of law and no banks
outside the great cities dare do it. The
great banks of the cities are a privileged
set of anarchists. They can set at de
fiance any law and not only go unpun
ished, but senators of the United States
will arise in their places, as they have
done many times, and call it patriotism.
Refering to the silver question Robert
G. Ingersoll is quoted as follows: "For
my part I do not ask any interference on
the part of the government except to
undo the wrong it has dene. I do not
ask that money be made out of nothing.
do not ask for prosperity born on
paper, isut 1 ao asK ior tne remoneuza-
tion of silver. Silver was demonetized
by fraud. It was an imposition upon
every solvent man; a fraud upon every
honest debtor in the United States. It
assassinated labor. It was done in
the interest of avarice and greed, and
should be undone by honest men."
EUCLID OUT OF DATE.
The goldbug editors are being so hard
pressed that when the standard econo
mists are quoted, the only reply they
can make is that they are out of date.
According to their logic, it would be
good reasoning to say : that because
Euclid has been dead some time, geom
etry, trigonometry and calculus are all
out of date, and the theorem which
states that "angles which one straight
line makes with another, upon one side
of it, are either two right angles, or to
gether are equal to two right angles," is
out of date, and in modern gold stand'
ard times they are equal to three right
angles.
To sustain ;their theories they need a
new science of mathematics as well as of
political economy, one by which they
can prove that two and two are equal
to one, or if you take four billion dollars
from eight billion there are nine billion
left, and therefore, after destrying half
of our money, we have more money per
capita than we had before. Yes, Euclid
is dead, and the deductions of the science
of mathematics are therefore all wrong.
ONE ARGUMENT FOR GOLD.
The Cincinnati Times-Star says: "We
heard an undertaker complain tbatbusi
ness is very dull. People do not eat and
drink so much when money is shy,' said
he, 'and that is the reason why they live
longer. Give me good times, for then
our business is lively.' ". So it seems that
under the gold standard the people be-
comeAoo poor to die.
De the State Journal still think that
Brykn can't carry his own county?
THE LATEST GOLDITE TRAVV.
The most contemptible piece of hum-
bngry the guldites have lately engaged
in, is the story of how the government
has coined 8,562.512 silver dollars
during the last year, being more than
were coined during the whole period be
tween 1792 and 1873. They print it in
their papers, tell it on the stump and
carry the silver dollars around to show
the date, 1896 upon tbem. Tbey must
think American citizens are sap heads
and idiots generally to be fooled with
such a transparent fraud as that.
A man who knows anything, knows
that the Majestic Obescity who occupies
the White House, has ordered some of
the bullion in ttreasney department
coined, which under the law ought to
have been coined long ago, and that
these new silver dollars are nsed to re
deem silver certificates, and when the
silver certificate is redeemed it is dis-
troyed, not one cent is added to the
circulation by this coi : ing business.
Every man who has any thing to do
with it, from the Stuffed Prophet down
to the goldite newspaper that prints it
knows be is engaged in a fraud, and if
one tells him he is a humbug he will not
heve the courage to deny it.
STAND UP FOR AMERICA.
Lord Liverpool and other champions
of the money lords and aristocracy of
England urged the adoption of the gold
standard for years. Finally in 1815
England adopted it. But it had no ef
fect until they sent for John Sherman
and got him to stop the coinage of silver
in the United States in 1873 and de
monetized it in 1874. All the years af
ter England adopted the gold standard,
silver never varied from the 15 to 1 ra
tio. England's efforts had been in vain
as long as the mints of the United States
were open at 16 to 1. It was necessary
to capture the United States and John
Sherman secured our surrender. The
moment the United States stopped coin
age the world went to the gold stand
ard. The moment we open our mints to
silver the world will go back to the bi
metallic standard. The United States,
and not England, can fix the standard
and the ratio. The United States pro
duces the silver and the gold not Eng
land. Down with goldbug traitors;
Stand up for America and American
products. -
BENEDICT ARNOLDS.
The report of the director of the mint,
June 24, 1894, shows that Great Britain
produced fl9,155,100 of silver, while
the silver using countries of America
produced $160,317,400. And the Amer
ican tories want Great Britain to fix the
price of silver! These same Benedict
Arnolds want us to crush out an Ameri
can industry, and they then call them
selves protectionists! America com
ands the supply of silver bullion. The
annual consumption of silver for coin
age purposes, notwithstanding the sus
pension of coinage by the Latin union,
averaged for the years 1891-2-3 over
$143,000,000, and the consumption in
the arts for the same years averaged
over $27,000,000 (see report of director
of the mint for 1894), making a total
annual consumption of $170,000,000,
only $48,000,000 of which are produced
outside of America. After consuming all
the silver bullion produced outside of
America, the world must buy from us
$122,000,000 worth of silver bullion
annually for coinage purposes, and they
must pay the price fixed by us, if we have
manhood enough left to fix a price. Let
us do it. Let us down the Benedict Arn
olds. A PLUTOCRAT'S FURY.
Here is a fair specimen of goldbug
argument and logic. It is taken from
the address of Governor Flower delivered
to the goldbug democratic convention at
Indianapolis. It is the premeditated ac
cusations of one of the wealthiest men
of New York, a man long in publio life
and accustomed to weigh his words.
The words were read from previously
prepared manuscript. Speaking of Mr.
Bryau he said:
"An untried man, a demagogue, a
word juggler, he perhaps will represent
the restless mob from which he rose, and
with characteristic recklessness does not
hesitate to appeal to base human pas
sions in order to attract votes. That in
this incendiary's role, standing, as he
professes to stand, on principles as un
democratic as those of Herr Most, be
should deserve by any conception of
Sarty regularity the support of true
emocrata is past comprehension and
explainable only by ignorance of the
men and bis platform of disloyalty to
genuine party faith."
Bryan is a "demagogue," a "word
juggler," represents the restless mob,"
an "incendiary." The wild fury of the
plutocrats is shown in these words of
Governor Flower.
LITERARY HIRELINGS,
The bankers have hired a "proffessor"
to write economic articles for the Politi
cal Science Quarterly. In the last issue,
John B. Clark, a "proffessor," boldly
takes the position that, "a steady appre
ciating currency is not harmful. If it ap
pears that gold is likely to appreciate
more than silver, and to appreciate more
steadily, it is decidedly the better metal
The sledge hammer logic of the bimet
allist has driven the literary hirelings
from every position they have formerly
taken, and now they are forced to advo
cat this absurdity.
If the bankers wanted a "professor,,
to denounce the law of gravitation, doz
ens of them would offer their services,
and thev would make out a better caee
than this hireling has done.
THE MELTED SILVER DOLLAR.
The story of how the house burned
down and melted the gold and silver dol
lars is still running in the goldbug
weekly press. None of these editors stop
to think that McKinley proposes to con
tinue that sad state of affairs, and under
his rule, the material in a silver dollar
when melted, would be worth still less
than it is now, while with Bryan and free
coinage, the melted silver dolllar would
be worth just the same as before it was
melted. Now if these editors have such
profound sympathy with the poor
farmer whose house burned down and
melted his silver dollars and really want
to prevent such sad catastrophic in the
the future, they will all vote for Bryan
and free coinage, otherwise they are a
set of hypocrites, who are at present en
gaged in shedding crocodile tears.
THE "MARKET PRICE." . '
In 1816 England passed a law com
pelling the Bank of England to pay
$20.67 for every ounce of gold offered.
Since that time the production of gold
has varied enormously, no two years
being the same, the cost of mining has
been reduced more than one-half, new
processes and improved machinery have
been introduced, but the "market price"
has never varied since England passed
that law.
Now comes the goldbug of 1896 and
tells us that legislatures, parliaments or
congresses cannot "fix the price" of any
thing, that the market price is fixed by
the cost of production. Being idotic
enough to believe such nonsense them
selves, they think that the ordinary
American citizen is as big a fool as they
are. If England can fix the price of eold
we can fix the price of silver.
THAT PREMIUM ON GOLD.
William P. St, John is an economist
who dares to tell the whole truth, and
to tell it plainly. Many others, while
accepting well known and well estab
lished principles, seem to fear the effect
they would have upon the people if
plainly stated and therefore do not
carry them to their ultimate conclusion.
St. John talks it right out. When sum
moned before the Springer house com
mittee in 1894 he said (p. 328.):
"I will describe perfect money: Any
convenient substance of about the 'in
trinsic' properties of silk ribbed paper
prepared to defy the counterfeiter, is
sued by the authority of the law of the
United States, and promising no redemp
tion whatever, except acceptance for all
dues of the United States and also made
receivable and payable for all dues and
debts, public and private, within the
jurisdiction of the United States."
What other economist has had the
courage to say that, or anything like
that? They all know it is true. Every
argument based upon the quantitive
theory presupposes its truth. It is the
very foundation of all economic science
in regard to money.
What other economist has had the
courage to tell the plain truth about
this threat of a premium on gold? They
all have the same opinion. They know
that a premium on gold would be the
greatest blessing that could be bestowed
upon this country. But none of them
have had the courage to Bay so. Now
comes Mr. St. Jo tin in tne September
Arena and tells what every economist
knows to be the truth about it. He
says:
'A premium on gold will tend to in
crease our exports by causing a higher
rate of foreign exchange; that is to say,
by yielding a larger net return in dollars
on the sale of bills of exchange drawn
against goods exported. A premium
wilt tend to diminish our imports by in
creasing tbe cost of bills of exebange
with which to pay for goods imported.
"The tendency of increasing our ex
ports and decreasing our imports will
be, first, to set our spindles running,
Bwell the number of paid operators, in
crease their wages, thereby adding to
their number and paying capacity of
consumers, and thus enlarge our home
market for all home products and man
ufactures, with prosperity in general as
the result assured.
"The tendency to increase our exports
and decrease our imports will be, second,
to establish a credit balance of trade for
the United States. A credit balance of
trade means that Europe has become
our debtor and must settle with us in
money. Europe's silver money is over
valued in her gold, compared with ours,
by from 3 to 7 cents on the dollar. The
European merchant or banker will there
fore make his trade settlements with us
in gold more profitably by from 3 to 7
per cent than in his silver."
There it is in as plain English as it
can be written. A premium on gold will
benefit both manufacturer and wage
earner and at the same time make gold
flow into this country. Let Wall street
hurry up that premium on gold.
LITERARY THIEVES.

makes a vigorous protest because two of
his articles were appropriated .without
credit. It is no use Bro. Cary, Literary

The most appropriate thing the reDub-
licans of Lincoln have done in this cam
paign is to hang up pictures of McKinlev

vacant stores where they and the ruia
the gold standard has wrought can both
be seen at one glance. It has been
charged that the populists or free silver
democrats did it, but that is untrue.
The republicans did it themselves.
Colonel Breckenridge of Madaline Pol
lard fame, was a delegate highly hon
ored at the Indianapolis gold bug con
vention. The press report said: "He
closed with a brilliant and eloquent
peroration, on the duty of patriots to
home and country." Think of that old
libertine denouncing Bryan and talking
about "home." The goldbugs are wel
come to him.

mind to do it.
CUT IT OFF SHORT.
The New Republic doesn't approve of
Mr. Hardy's political course at all, and
indulges in the following queer sort of
logic. It says:
"Mr. Hardv has so taken tn heart- th. .

uiariDg uimsen a proniDitiopist and vot

Why didn't the New Republic sav that
Mr. Hardy could be Been reeling drunk
every day since he had resolved to vote
for free siiver, and not cut it off with tbe
phrase declaring that he was "favorable
to the sale of rum."
Mr. Devine, until recently secretary of
the bimetallic league, controverts thev
statement from the London Financial

on, favorable to the American coinage
