B I lars were coined by the government

Hj since that "notorious crime" the gov-

H in enormous quantities it will be even

H has been such a great production of
H ' silver , such competition among the

I ingly friendly to silver and the time
came when the increasing of the gov
ernment's stock by the purchase of
4,500,000ounces monthly became a
menace. Silver was falling so rapidly
in value and the wide divergence be
tween it and gold , at the existing ratio ,
widened so constantly that the flooding
of the nation with the depreciated coin
was dangerous and the difficulty of
maintaining it at a parity with gold
was so great that congress repealed the
law providing for the purchase of the
bullion. The country was simply in
danger of being swamped by silver.
Now the silver bugs would have us
undo the good work performed by the
repeal in 1890 made necessary by the
growing lack of confidence in the gov
ernment's ability to continue all monies
a a parity by coining all the bullion
in the United States , that of France and
China as well , and all old silver coffee
pots and silver spoons into money
which would be worth less , by reason
of its excessive supply , than fifty-three
cents to the dollar.
Thus free silver means giving the
nation a currency depreciated at least
47 per cent and compelling the laboring
man to accept a silver dollar whose
purchasing value could not be more
than 53 per cent of the dollars now in
circulation in lieu of money worth the
world over one hundred cents to the
dollar. The demand for silver coinage
now is a fraud , a bunco game , and the
victims selected are the wage-earners ,
for they , les3 than any one else , can af
ford to have the purchasing power of
their money reduced 47 per cent or
more. The laboring man who wants a
good dollar will vote for McKinley.
That is necessary or he votes to destroy
his ability to live as well as he does
now. Eloquent periods and blasphe
mous metaphors cannot change the sit
uation. Free silver is a gigantic fraud.

Silverlte Delusion * .
The fomenters of hatred among the
people pretend that the silver agitation
is for the benefit of the many against
eke few , for the poor against the rich.
Should the country descend to the de
preciated standard of silver the dupes
of this belief would discover , when too
late , that the fatal tendency of the
Cheap Money policy would be to
strengthen and increase the possession
of wealth among the lev : . While mul
titudes of thrifty and prosperous people
ple would undoubtedly be ruined by the
desperate experiment , not a dollar of
their wealth would find its way to the
possession of the many ; it would make
the few who control and command
large amounts of money only the richer
in affording them opportunities for
profitably speculating on the general
distress. Such has been the universal
experience in all epochs of depressed
currency and financial panic. So far
from being widened , the circle of the
prosperous and rich would be only nar
rowed by the reckless policy of the sil-
verites. The power of the "gold bugs"
and "money sharks , " against whom the
silverite warfare is foolishly waged ,
would be greater than ever , and would
be more unscrupulously exercised than
ever before. The gleam of factitious
prosperity under a system of debased
and inflated money would soon pass
away , and would be followed by a long
night of industrial and social gloom.
There is , in short , no form of econ
omical , social or political development
which the free silver scheme is not cal
culated to arrest more violently than
if a disastrous war , a famine or an
Egyptian plague should strike the land.
Yet the illusory prospect of creating
weaKa and prosperity out of nothing
by deeply debasing the nation's stand
ard of value seems to have a strange
and unaccountable fascination for mul
titudes of people something like the
attraction of the lighthouse lamp on the
seacoast , which lures innumerable
flocks of migratory birds to their cer
tain destruction. But the simile badly
limps. It would , perhaps , not matter
so much if these persons should shatter
their own wings only , if their course
did not threaten so many millions of
innocent people. Philadelphia Record.

Nashville Center , Martin County ,
Minn. , Aug. 2 To the Editor : I notice
in your column of Notes ana Queries
in your paper of July 23 , in answer to
the question whether a person is
obliged to receive silver dollars in pay
ment of a debt , you answer that he is ,
silver dollars being legal tender to any
amount. Now , this being so , in what
or of what does the demonetization of
silver consist ? George Boler.

It consists of impudence and wind.
Before 1873 there had been no silver
dollars in circulation in this country
for thirty years. This was because the
silver in the silver dollar would sell for
more money as bullion , to be used in
the arts , than the gold in the gold del
lar. The gold dollar being the cheaper
had driven the silver dollar out of cir
culation , so that in 1873 few men under
forty years of age had ever seen one.
For this reason when a law was enacted
in 1873 codifying all previous acts in
relation to coinage so as to simplify
them and adapt them to modern condi
tions , then obsolete silver dollar was
dropped from the list of coins provid
ed for in the act. Subseqently to this
in consequence chiefly of the great re
lative increase in the production of sil
ver and of the closing of the mints of
Germany and other countries to its
free coinage silver began to decline
rapidly in value. So that in a short
time it became cheaper than gold. Then
the owners of silver mines began to
clamor for reopening our mints to the
free coinage of silver dollars. As sil
ver was then cheaper than gold , if this
had been done the cheaper silver would
have driven out the gold. Congress ,
therefore , refused to yield to the de
mand of the silver miners ; but in 187S
it reopened the mints to the coinage
of all the silver that could be main
tained at par with gold. Since that
time we have coined 430,000,000 dollars
and have authorized the coinage of
about 150,000,000 more , which is over
seventy times more silver dollars than
had been coined in our mints during
the entire history of the nation before
1873. These silver dollars are a full
legal tender for all debts. Silver had
been practically demonetized by the
coinage act of 1834 , which raised the
ratio from 15 to 1 to 16 to 1 , with the
result of driving all silver from circu
lation. By the acts of 1878 and 189G
we have remonetized silver to the enor
mous extent mentioned , and then hav
ing reached the farthest limit where it
was possible to maintain our silver dol-

CAMPAIGN NOTES ,
The way in which some free silver
democrats nowadays refer to the doc
trines of Jefferson is absurd. Thomas
Jefferson was as strong a sound money
man as Alexander Hamilton. He fa
vored the use of both silver and gold
as money , as do most sound money
men now ; but only on the basis of a
ratio that would maintain the parity
between them. In other words , he con
tended that the ratio should be the com
mercial ratio existing between the two
metals. That is heaven wide from the
doctrine of the free silver men. They
nowhere propose to make the silver
dollar equal in commercial value to
the gold dollar. It is an essential point
in their platform that the silver dollar
must be a cheap dollar. Burlington
( Vt. ) Free Press.
It is impossible to make sale of pig
iron because of the agitation for free
silver. The use of iron is so general
in nearly all forms of industrial under
taking that the demand for it , or the
lack of demand , is a sure indication of
the condition of the business pulse.
The stoppage of the sales of pig iron
has led to the stoppage of the produc
tion of ore in the Rockefeller mines at
Bessemer , Mich. , throwing 7,000 men
out of work. The continuance of the
silver agitation will , no doubt , further
aggravate and intensify the conditions
of doubt and insecurity which compel
prudent men to a wise inactivity until
the storm shall have blown over.
Philadelphia Record.
Advocates of free silver argue that
the increased demand which would
be a forced and not a real demand
would raise the price of silver bullion
so that the make-believe ratio of one
to sixteen would become the com
mercial ratio. That is a guess based
on a fallacy. The experiment has been
tried and found a dismal failure. Under
the Bland law the government coined
$2,000,000 worth of silver a month ; but
the price of silver bullion kept drop
ping. Under the Sherman bill the
government bought 4,500,000 ounces of
silver a month ; but silver kept drop
ping. The "boy orator" pledges himself -
self to do what no nation on earth has
t
ever been able to do keep gold and
silver on a parity at a ratio other than
the real or commercial ratio. Binghamton -

HENDRIX'8 SPEECH.
TALK ON MONEY TO MOROCCO
MANUFACTURERS.
v
Glad They Are Not AsUlnj ; to Have
Leather Kemnnetlzoit Tells Why
Clam Shells Were Demonetized Civil
ization arid Bvolutlon Advancing.
The Shoe and Leather Reporter pub
lishes the following speech made by the
Hon. Joseph C. Hendrix at the dinner
of the National Morocco Manufac
turers' association of the United States
at Manhattan Beach early this month :
Mr. President and Gentleren I am
glad to see you , "men of small brains
and large capital. " I am glad always to
face successful men in an American
industry. You represent a trade which
years ago furnished material for the
money instrument. There was leather
money once and plenty of it. You have
never set up any cry because of the de
monetization of leather , never asked
redress for the "crime" of the abandon
ment of the use of leather as money.
You do not now ask for its remonetiza-
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Stein Nor for free tannage.
Mr. Hendrix No ! Therefore , I have
great respect for two people , the North
American Indian and the morocco
manufacturer. Along these sand dunes
from Manhattan to Montauk point , the
antiquarian can point to great heaps
of shells where the old squaws used to
sit and practice the free coinage of
wampum. After a while a smart Yankee
invented a turning lathe which trans
formed the clam shells into money too
fast. This led to the demonetization
of the Long Island clam. ( Laughter. )
The poor Indian has passed off to the
plains and we hear no more of the free
coinage of clams.
These are simply evolutionary steps.
You look back to the beginning of your
industry and marvel at the changes.
The world advances. Civilization re
fines. Commerce requires exact terms
and measures. It insists upon certain
ty , fixity in the standard of values. It
must have something upon which it can
depend. It has found out that it must
depend upon some one thing. That is
why it has veered to the single stand
ard. It has quit stepping from one
standard to the other. It makes its
election. It votes for gold because of
its great value in small compass and
because of the fixity of that value. So
it is that one great nation after an
other , under the command of its best
intelligence , has come to the gold
standard. It is because they have found
it the cheapest , best and most effective
standard by which to measure all val
ues.
ues.What
What does a standard mean ? What
is its primary significance ? It comes
from an old Latin word meaning some
thing to turn to. When you are in
doubt you go to the standard. I don't
care what line of business you are in or
what course of life you pursue , a stand
ard governs it somehow or other. You
ride on a railway on a standard guage ,
3'ou sit at a table of a standard height ,
and so on through the list. The stand
ard must be the thing it stands for. If
you have a standard of weight , it mav
be of diamonds or precious stones , but
it has got to have weight that is the
first thing. If you have a standard
of lengthritmust have length. And when
you come to the question of the stand
ard of value , whatever it is made of it
has got to have value.
You can talk about the whole ques
tion of finance in 100 different lights.
But this is the main point you must
have a standard of value. That stand
ard must have value. We choose for
the standard the metal which fluctuates
the least in value. That is the whole
story of the gold standard. ( Cheers. )
Our friends out in Chicago claim
that the gold standard is a British
policy which we are seeking to enforce
in this country. Did you ever hear
anything about British policy in con
nection with the law of gravitation era
a British policy of good health against
bad health good clothes against shod
dy ? There are other countries in the
world besides Great Britain. We do
not have to look to Great Britain to
know what is a good thing. ( Great
applause. ) We are old enough and big
enough to know a good thing when we
see it. Ours is a country that for 60
years has been under the gold stand
ard. You have never known anything
else. AU you have was built upon the
gold standard. The greatness and de
velopment of this country have been
attained under that standard. How is
the world lining up on this question ?
China , Japan and Mexico are for free
silver. Great Brhain , Germany , France
and the great empires of Europe are for
gold. Where do we belong ? There is
only one answer. Can any one fancy
that our great population , made up of
70,000,000 of the best examples of the
Anglo-Saxon race , mixed with Irish
wit , Scotch cunning , German thrift , is
going to step from the high plane where
we stand to the lower one beneath ?
What strange madness has come into
the American people lb make it seem
possible that they could do a thing of
that kind ? ( Applause. )
We can live on a silver basis after
we get there. Our great rivers will
follow their courses to the sea. God's
uun will kiss the earth. The crops will
spring forth. Children will be born
and grow up. Enterprises will go for
ward. But are we going to take the
leap in the dark and try an experiment
fraught with such risk and panic ? A
gerat French economist once said that
when he was 40 , he thought he under
stood something about finance. When
he was 60 , he felt he did not know as
much about it as he did at 40 , and at
70 he began to doubt whether he knew
anything about it at all , and scarcely
dared to oppn his mouth. Mr. Glad
stone pondered over ihe question till
' " " •

he said that it seemed almost to defy
human Intellect , but Ben Tillman , from
South Carolina , knows that the gold-
bugs of Wall street and vampires of
Lombard street are "agin the farmer , "
and the way the farmer can get even
is to cut his dollar In two. ( Applause. )
We are living in a grand and awful
time. But the newspapers are printed
every day , and the Americans are not
asleep. The brain of the American
people is not dull. Their hearts are
not dishonest. These heresies come
and go as the tide flows , and sometimes
in the thickest of the night we may
not appear to see the stars that are
shining. But you remember on one
historic occasion , when the sky was all
covered with fog , some one asked , "Oh ,
say , can you see by the dawn's early
light the star spangled banner yet
waving ? " And it was there ! ( Ed'
thuslastic cheers. )
Where Are the Benefits ?
If 50 cent silver dollars should dou
ble the prices of farm products , it is
quite as certain that the prices of all
the products which the farmer con
sumes would double In the same way.
In that case it is not easy to see how
'the ' farmer would gain anything by the j ,
free coinage of silver. Even the wages j I
of labor , the last to rise in an epoch of
depreciated currency and inflated
prices , would finally , after much dis
tress of the workingmen , straggle up
to the common level.
But whether the farmer should re
ceive ? 100 for 100 bushels of wheat
and pay out $90 for the necessaries of
living or should receive ? 200-for the
same wheat and pay out ? 1S0 , in both
cases the balance on hand would have
just the same purchasing power. But (
in accomplishing the degradation of.
the monetary standard , which could !
do neither the farmer nor the wage-
earner' any good , an enormous depre
ciation of values and confiscation of ac
cumulated earnings , involving public
and private credit in a maelstrom of
destruction , would inevitably ensue.
Are the farmers and workingmen of the
country willing to invoke such a
catastrophe ? Philadelphia Record.
False Hopes for Labor.
\ t J v
The Iue In Pure Silver.
Stop bothering your head about the
figures 16 to 1 , leave the gold standard
out of the question , for there is no
direct issue upon it , and consider the
real issue , silver.
A lump of silver of a certain size ,
3714 grains in weight , is to-day worth
53 cents. The Bryan proposition is
that the government shall stamp it a
dollar. That would be fiat money mak
ing of the same sort as the govern
ment's setting its printing presses to .
work and turning out without limit
dollars of paper.
It is fiat dishonesty. It is pregnant
with trouble for every man , laborer or
capitalist , who lives by industry , and
it would leave to the United States
the hurt of lasting mistrust in the mind
of every industrial investor and lead
er , American or foreign. Beat it as the
American voters beat the populists
four years ago by 10 to 1. Exchange.
The Pensioner's Dollar.
The government pays about $140,000-
000 a year to pensioners. The payments
last year were $141,395,229. Every one (
of these dollars was worth 100 cents ' •
and equal to a dollar in gold. j
If the policy of the Chicago platform
and party should be made effective by
legislation , every dollar thereafter received - {
ceived by a pensioner would be worth !
only 53 cents. It would be called a dollar
lar , but in the purchase of a pensioner's '
supplies it would go only so far as 53 \
cents go now. The buying power of the j
pensioner's monthly allowance , like f
that of the depositor's money , still to j
be paid out of the savings bank , and
the value of policies to be paid by life
insurance companies , would be reduced
by nearly one-half. New York Times.
Dearnos * Not the foaI.
The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
"increase prices. " The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de
sirable things were produced without
any cost at all. Every advance toward
that condition that is to say , every
cheapening of the necessities of life
is a great gain for everybody. On the
other hand , every increase in the price
of the necessities of life is a direct
and grievous hurt to the people.
Free Coinage In a Nutshell.
A fine ounce of gold is worth $20.67.
Sixteen ounces of silver are worth
$11.20.
Congress can legislate until it is
black in the face without making the
ounce of gold worth less or the 1G
ounces of silver worth more. New
York Press.
Cheap and trashy money in which
to pay wages , high prices for every
kind of goods which labor buys these
are the blessings of free silver for the
American workingmen.
