EDITOR THE CONSERVATIVE : Should the present congress vote to issue interest-bearing gold bonds , for the purpose of redeeming silver dollars and greenbacks , and then retire them , what effect will it have upon the rate of interest , labor wages and price of property ? Will interest go up and property go down as they did when greenbacks were buried before ? What made our silver dollars "un sound" while up to the time their coinage was stopped they were worth more than our gold dollars in any part of the world ? Should gold continue to go down , as it has for some little time , as compared with silver , corn or cotton , until we can buy a pound of gold for twelve or fifteen pounds of silver which would be sound money then ? What will be the difference between Treasurer Gage's "asset" bank bills and the wild cat bank bill of fifty years ago ? What wo meant by "parity" between property and money , was that as long as they coined gold and silver free , six hundred dollars would buy as much of the six great necessities of life , corn , beef , pork , wool and cotton one year as another. One or two might go up and one or two down , but the quan tity of each would be the same for the six hundred dollars. So , if money is let alone where it is , and Roosevelt coins as much silver , gold and paper as McKiuloy did we will continue to have good times. Supply and demand are all right for the gov ernment of prices if left alone , but when the law stops in and cuts off the demand as it did in stopping the coining of silver or restricts the supply as the high pro tective tariff does , there are then grounds for a party disagreement. If good statesmanship requires that constitutions and constitutional amend ments be submitted to a vote of the people why not submit important laws in the same way ? I have not a doubt , that if the law suspending the coinage of silver had been submitted to a vote of the people it would have been beaten fifty to one. Yours for opinion , H. W.
