At any rate, tho poll of tho "typos" caused tho Issuanco of tho following statement this morning from head quarters: "Tho five big morning newspapers or Chicago nro eugaged In nn attempt to show that organizod labor is opposed to llryan and froo silver.

Thoy In dicated a majority of 50,000 for Bryan and even larger for Altgeld. The only consolation left for tho McKlnley man ngrru Is to tnko factory ballots In tho presenco of officials and loudly pro claim tho result as a victory for gold, fjesplte the fact that all such ballots arc cilminally fraudulent on their face.

Tim Onlr llnnrit Dollar. Tho light Is to restore to Its old placo the wrongfully-ejected nllver unit, viz.: tho 3714-grnln dollar. Tho (Chi cago) Evening Journal pretends that It is in favor of stiver rcmonetlzatlon. But how? Why, It would blto oft from a silver bar chunks each worth a dol lar In what? Why, goldl and cash chunk It would call a dollar until gold fluctuated and went higher, and then it would call in all the outstanding pieces, and blto off larger chunks of sllvor. But this would not bo tho American dollar ot all, and that Is Just tho point in the case. Tho old Spanish milled dollar of 371 It grains wan a standard dollar and unit of value In parts of this country from 1C90 to 1775, when tho Continental congress adopted It as the standard dollar, on which to Borrow money to carry on tho revolu tionary war. That wnr debt was In curred In dollars of that exact weight. Tho revolutionary debt was paid In silver dollars of oxactly that wolght. Tho debt of thto second war with Great Dritatn was incurred and afterwards paid in silver dollars, of that exact standard. If anybody had called tho money "a 91-cent dollar." ho would probably have been rotten-egged for his Blandorous malice. Chicago Trlb uno, Fob. 11, 1878. Gold StaniUril Monti Itnnkruptcr. To undertake to do tho business of the world on a single gold basis of measurement and equivalents means loss, bankruptcy, poverty, suffering and despair. Debts will grow larger, and taxes becomo more onerous. Tho farmer will rccelvo small prices for his crops; labor will bo forced down, down, down, and there will bo a long series ot strikes, lock-outs, and a sus pension of production. Thoso who own proerty, but owe for It In part, will sec tholr mortgage Increasing In pro portion as gold acquires new purchas ing power, while the property Itsolf will be shrinking In value. Thero 'vlll bo no relief, It must be kept In mind--for-gold will bo tho only recognized equivalent of values, the stock of gold with its power will ho constantly grow ing; and tho circle of wealth will he uniformly contracting. Chicago Trib une, Jan. 16, 1878 The Silver Dollar Ablr Defended. What la a whole dollar? Who says that a part of a dollar shall be a whole lollar or wants It to be? Four hun dred and twelve and a half grains of silver Is a whole dollar, and was so fixed by law In 1702. It never was nny thlng else, novcr can bo anything els under tho law. Whether at present that weight of unlegal tender silver is worth no much as a gold dollar of 5 8-10 grains in London, no ono earns. Four hundred and twelve and a half grains of silver coined and mado leijal tender Is just as much a dollar as tho gold dollar. Chicago Trlbuno, Jan. 19, 1878.

Wo should bo for free coinage under an International agree ment, If It be possible to procuro one, nnd, If not possible, then for Independ ent bimetallism.

Tho unexpected action of In dia and tho general sentiment of tho monled classes conspire against us at this time. 1 do not bellevo in tho Bland bill or any other measure which guarantees anything less than thu unrestricted coinage for gold and Bllver alike, as pledged in tho democratic national platform. Let us prepare not for tho present vic tory, but for victory upon that l?3Uo In 1890. Tho repeal ot the Sherman law will not give tho relief which 1b antici pated. It will aid business temporarily, but in a year times will be hard, and the demand for permanent financial relief will bo irresistible.

Written on July 13, 1893, to the Atlanta Constitution, and published at Senator Hill's request. Act Done Secretly anil Stealthily. In 1873-4, as it was two years and more later dlscocred, Uie coinage of this Bllver dollar wa3 forbidden, and sllvei' dollars wero demonetized by law. This act, which was done secret ly and stealthily, to tho profound ig noranco of those who voted for It, and of the prosldont who approved it, had, without the knowledge of tho country, removed ono of tho landmnrks of tho government; had, under cover of dark ness, abolished the constitutional dol lar, and had arbitrarily, and to the lm menso injury of the peoplo, added heavily to every form of Indebtedness, public and private.

Cornwell, president of tho Nov York State Bankers' association delivered tho principal address. Among other things he said: "If. in 1S7G, 1876, 1877 and 1878,'the bankers and sound nioney men had been organizod as they are organized now, and had spoken out as they are speaking out npw, had started on a campaign of education as they are starting out now; tho greenback would long ago have been wiped out; tho all ver lunacy, before it had wrought ln calcuablo damage, would havo Lobn confined to tho asylums, wucro it be longs."

It Is as illusive as a dream of magic, as idle as the pursuit of per petual motion, as dangerous is tbo delirium of flat money." Tho Cauno of I'roipnt Dlitrom. Does not this New Jersey governor (McClellan) know, as we have already stated in these columns, that an ounce of silver to-day can bo exchanged for moro of any glveu commodity than it could llvo years ago when it was at a premium with gold? As far as stabil ity is concerned, tho value of silver l.as remained comparatively stationary as compared with other property. As a measure of value it has fluctuated less than gold. It is the enormous and alarming enhancement of the value of gold that has squeezed out the values of property, paralyzed tho trade of tho country and produced the present dis tress. If there is to be a choice bo tweeu tho two metals, the peoplo prefer that metal which most nearly retains Its equilibrium in relation with other commodities. Chicago Tribune. Jan. 19. 1878. It Wa AitonUliInc Informntlun. When Alexander Hamilton and Thoma3 Jefferson devised tho system of American coinage, thoy adopted tho metallic plan for tho express and direct purpose of securing to tho American people, as a protection against all fluc tuations in tho relatlvo value of gold and silver, the option to pay debts In coin of either metal. We continued the oystcm in thhs country until 1876; the people were astounded with the inform ation that In 1873-4 we had abolished the coinage of tho silver dollar, and de clared It no longer a legal tender.

Hamilton and Jefferson concurred lr tho wisdom and pecesslty of having & double standard, tho uurposo bolng to confer tho option on tho debtor to pay In either metal at his pleasure.

The retention of tho option by the 1 debtor to pay In either 3llvcr or gold it , vitally imnortant to the welfare of tht wholo American people, and must r never be surrendered.
