United States at ratio Of 16 ounoes of silver to l ounce of gold. Thl'mere declaration of this purpose is a menace to our financial and industrial interests and has already created universal alarm. It involves great peril to the credit and business of . the . coimty,-panl so- grave that conservative men everywhere are breaking away from their old party as sociation's and united with. other patri otic citizens in emphatic pry test against the platform' of the Democratic nation al convention as an assault upon tne faith and honor of the government and 'welfare of tho people. We have had few questions in the life time of the re public more serious than the one which "is thus presented. . Tho character of the money whicl shall measure our values and exchanges and settle our balances with one nnother and with the nations of the world, is of such primary importance, 'and so far reaching in its consequences, hb to call for the most painstaking in vestigation. and, in the end, a sober. and unprejudiced judgment at the jjolls. We must not be misled by phrases nor deluded by false 'theories. Free silver would not mean that silver! dollars were to be freely had, without cost or labor. It would mean the free i n9 ttA mint of the United States for the few who are owners of silver1 bullion, but would make silver coin nc freer to the many" who are engaged ii other enterprises. It would not mak labor easier, the hours of labor shortt-j nr the nav better. It would not makt farming'Iess laborious or more profit ble. It would not start a factory or make a demand for an additional day' labor. It would create no new occu pations, it would add nothing to th fort of the masses, the capital of the people, or the wealth of the nation. It seeks to introduce a new measure of! v1n a. but would add no value to the! j thins? measured. It would not con serve values, un tne contrary it: would derange all existing -values. Itj would not restore business confidence. but its direct effect would be to de troT the little that remains. Tha free coinage plank; adopted at Chicago ia that any one may take a quantity of silver bullion now worth firtj-three cents to the mints of the United State; naye it coined at the expense of the government and receive for it a silver dollar which shall be legal tender for th payment of al dei t-. jmbheor private. Ana owner f th i silver bullion would est the silver dollar. It would belong to him and to nobody else. Other 'people would get it only by ' their labor, the products of their land or Something of value. The bullion owner on the basis of present values, would" receive the silver dollar for fifty -three cents worth of silver, and other people will be required to receive it as a full dollar in payment of debts. The gov ernment would get nothing from tha transaction. It would bear the ex pense of coining the silver and the community would suffer loss by it use. "- We have coined since 1878 more than four hundred million of silvei dollars which are . maintained by the government at parity with gold, and are a full legal tender for the pay ment of all debts public and private. liow are the deliver dollars cow in use different from those which would be in us under free coinage? They are to be of the same weight and fineness jthey are to bear the farce stamp of the government. Why would they not be of ne same value? I ! 'answer: The silver dollars now in use were coined on account of the gov ernment and not for private account or gain and the government has solemnly agreed to keep them as; bullion at its market value and coined it into silver dollars. Having exclusive control of he mintage, it only 4oins what it can hold at a parity with gold. The profit, representing the - difference -between the commercial value of the silver bullion and the face value of the. silver dollar, goes to the government for the benefit Of the people. Ihe government bought the silver bullion contained in the silver dollar at very much less than its coinage value. It paid it out to its creditors and put it in circulation among the people- at its face value of one hundred cents or a full dollar. It required the people to accept it as a legal tender and is thus morally bound to maintain it at a pari ty with gold, whioh was then, as now, tne rococrnised standard with us and the most enlightened nations in the world. The government having issued and circulated the silver dollar, it must honor and protect the holder from loss.! This obligation it has so far sacredly kept. Not only is these a moral obli gation but there is' ft legal obligation,' expressed in puDiio statue to maintain the parity. . " j These dollars in the particulars I have named, are not the same as the dollars which would be Issued under . free coinage. They would be the same in form, but different In value. The government would have no part In the transaction, except to coin the silver bullion into dollars.. It would snare in no part of the profit. It would take upon itself no obligation. It would not put the dollar into circulation. It could not only get them as anv citizen would get them , by giving; somethin for. them. It would deliver themi 4. . . K -Kr lllTrr.-ir.it. hn ntlTTflT Bnft Itg tf fill S nectlou with the transaction mere ena. oucn are the siiver dollars whioh would be Issued under free coinage of silver at a ratio of lo to 1. Who would then maintain tne parity What would keep them at par with gold? There would be no obligation resting upon tne covernment to do it. and if there were. It would be powerless to do it. The simple truth is we would be driven to a silver basis, to silver monometallism. These dollars, therefore, would stand upon their real value. If the free and unlimited ooinage of silver at a ratio of sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold would, as some of its advocates assert, mate nrty-tnree cents in suver worm one hundred cents and the silver dollar equal to the gold dollar, then we would have no cheaper money than now, and it would be no easier to get,- But thatsueh would be the re sult is against reason and is contradicted by experience in all times and all lands. It means the deoasement oi our currency tn au amqunt of the difference between commercial and coin value of the silver dollar, which Is ever changing and the effect would be to re duce property values, entail untold financial loss, destroy confidence, Impair the obliga tions of existing contracts, further impover ish the laborer and producers of the country. create a panic of unparalleled severity, ana inflict upon trade -.an commerce a deadly blow. Against any such policy, I am unalter ably opposed. Bimetallism cannot be secured by Indepen dent Rfttion on oar cart- "It cannot boob- tained.by.opeplng our mints to the unlimited coinage of the silver or tne worm, at a rano 6f sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold, when the commercial ratio is more than thirty onces of sliver to one ounce of gold.Mexico and China hav tried the experi ment. Mexico has free coinage of silver and goloVat a ratio slightly in excess of sixteen and a hah ounces of silver to one ounce of fold, and while her mints are freely open to oth metals at that ratio, not only a single dollar in gold bullion is .coined and circu lated as money. Gold has been driven out of circulation in these countries and they are on a siiver basis alone. Until International agreement Is had, it is the plain duty of the United States to maintain the gold standard. It Is the recognized and sole standard of the great commercial nations of the world, with which we trade more largely than any other. Eighty-four per cenfc. of our foreign trade for the fiscal year 189i was. with gold stand ard countries and our trade with other conn tries was settled on cold basis. I' After pointing out that the United States has now more silver than gold in circulation, Major McKinley continues: - Ontbe22d oi August, lovi, in a puuuo aa dress, I said: "If we could have an Inter national ratio, which all the leading nations of the world would adopt, and the true re lation be fixed between the two metals and all agree upon the quality of -sliver which should constitute a dollar, then silver would be as free and unlimited in Its privileges of coinage as gold is today. . But that we have not been able to secure, and with the free and unlimited coinage of silver adopted in the United States at the present ratio, we Would be still further removed from any In ternational agreement. We may never be able to secure it If we enter upon the isolated :iT.unnftiitAr.

The Bepubhcan. platform wisely declares in favor of such' encouragement to our sugar Interests "as will " lead to the pro duction on American soil of all the sugar Which the American people use." It promises to our wool and woolen Inter, ests ''the most ample protection," a guaran tee that ought to commend itself to every pa triotic citizen. Never was a more grievous wrong done th fanners of our country than that so' unjustly inflloted vdoring th past three years upon the wool growers of Amer-. loa. i Although among our most Industrious and useful ciizens their Interests have been prac tical ly destroyed and our woolen manufac turers Involved in similar disaster. At no time within th past thirty-six years and per haps never during any period, bave.ro many; of our woolen factories been Suspendeda now.

Statistics are quoted to show the increase oi loreiga-iraou under the reciprocity clause of the tariffAet of 1890, and a return of the system te-.ttfged. : The declaration of the Bepublican platform touching foreign immigration U.treated . as one of peculiar importance at this tirav and Major McKlnley announces himself in hearty sympathy with the present legislatfvay re striction of fortlgn immigration and as favor ing such extension of the laws as wilt secure the United States from invasion by "the de based and criminal classes of the old world.- ' , It shall be my constant aim to Improve every opportunity to ad vane the cause of f;ood government by promoting that spirit of orbearance and justice whioh Is so essential to our prosperity and happiness by joining most heartily in all proper efforts to restoi the relations of brotherly respect and affec tion which in our early history aaracterized all the people of all the States. I would b glad to contribute towards binding in indivis ible union the different divisions of th coun try, which, Indeed, now "have every Induce ment of sympathy and Interest" to weld them together more strongly than ever. I would rejoice to see demonstrated to the world that the North and the South and the East and th West are not separated or In danger Of being separated because of sectional or party dif -ferenees. The war is long since over. "W are not enemies, but friends," and as friends we will faithfully and cordially co-operat un der the approving smile of him who has, thus far so signally sustained and guided us, to preserve Inviolate our country's name and honor, of its peace rand good order, of its continued ascendancy amongst the greatest governments on earth. - (Signed) Wh.
