I imports are from countries having the
same standard. 7- .'
"Shall we cut ' locee in our monetary
system from these countries of such
commercial power and attach ourselves
to the email and weak nationalities to
which we I eell scarcely anything, and
from Which our pnrchases are absolute
ly insignificant? , .- . .
''There ia no country that has a dou
ble monetary standard. 'Wherever there
is free silver coinage, silver monometal
lism prevails. All countries with a gold
standard utilize silver as far as it can
be.kept at a parity with gold. That is,
gold countries ue both metals as mon
ey ; silver countries only silver. The in
dependent free coinage of silver in the
United States would place her on a sil
ver standard and in direct antagonism
to the standard of the countries with
which tihe does nearly all of her busi
ness. 7'-' -"- .-.
Will the United States lower her
crest, withdraw from the strong sister
hood of nations which whitens the seas
with the sails of commerce and unite
her monetary fortunes : with the weak
combination whose . craft are scarcely
ever seen and whose products and fruits
constitute so small a percentage ia the
grand total?
Will she continue to stand -with
Germany, Austria, France and England,
or link her destiny with" China, Japan
and Mexico?
"These are . my views, stated briefly
and concisely as possible.
"For the reasons given I am opposed
to the doctrine of free and unlimited
silver coinage without ' international
agreement with the principal commer
cial countries of the world. We cannot
adopt a monetary system different from
these great nationalities and force them
to reeosmize it. We cannot float a SO
cent silver dollar as a sound dollar in
this country, much less id the markets
of Germany, France, Austria or Eng-
and, with whom our interests are close
ly identified. There are many things
we can do regardless of. the opinions or
wishes of other lands. We can amend
or change our system of government,
manage our internal affairs and enact
laws to govern eur .own people .without
let .or hindrance from any foreign source,
but there is one thing we cannot do.
We cannot coerce other, peoples and
lands to recognize any money we may
see proper to engrave or coin as a me
dium of exchange between them and us.
As wejl might we attempt to change
the laws of gravitation or make water
run up hill.
"I am for a sound dollar, and what l
mean bv a sound dollar is one that -ill
pass for 100 cents and be as good as any
other dollar anywhere witnm tne limits
of the civilized world. Goldris that dol
lar now. Silver may also be if kept on
a parity with gold. But this can only
be done by jnternationai agreement.
What I mean by a sound dollar is one
that the farmer, the mechanic and the la
boring man can use wiui a purcnasing
rower cf 100 cents and. buy as much
7 ith it as any other dollar. What I
mean by ascrand dollar is one tnat its
holder may lay away to buy a home, save
for a rainy day or provide for himself
in old' age with absolute certainty tnat
it will bo as good ias,any other dollar
when he wants to use it Gold is ttat
dollar.. Silver cannot bennlessby inter
national agreement it is -made equiva
lent to a geld dollar. . -
"I am for a sound dollar for the poor
man, as well as for the rich man.. I shall
never consent to a monetary system
which will place H in the power of the
rich man to hoard his'gold and pay his
poor creditor in a depreciated dollar. "

The Gold Indorse mcaCBoitaliM SUrar.
The theory that we have lately had
bimetallism is as baseless aa the sug
gestion that we had it in the early part
of the century.- If I offer my note when
my credit is not good, no one will dis
count it ; if I procure the indorsement
of one whose credit is good, it will be
discounted at once. It would be the in
dorsement, however, and not the note
which would have passed current. - For
a generation our half dollars, quarter
dollars, eta, have nominally passed cur
rent Actually, however, it is the gold
indorsement of the government that has
been accepted. A silver dollar today
consists of half a dollar's worth of sil
ver. With the gold indorsement of i
solvent government It passes for a dol
lar. That is, the gold indorsement pass
es for the remaining 50 cents that is
not in the com. To say that we have
bimetallism, and that silver coins pass
on a par with gold, is just as sensible,
and no more so, as to state that my note
for $1,000,000 is as good as Mr. Aster's
simply because that when I have gotten
him to indorse mine it is discounted at
the same. rate as is his. And just as
even Mr. Astor's paper would be
promptly refused were it found that he
had presented me with a ream of blank
checks indorsed by him, which I pro
posed to sign and use, so the gold in
dorsement of the government would be
promptly discredited should it bind it
self by law to give its gold indorsement
to an unlimited quantity of silver. Th
silver dollars with the federal indorse
ment would then be worth the silver in
them only this and nothing more.

to knot' that when they come to draw
the money they have laid by in the
bank, the bunding and loan association,

they will get back; as good money as
they invested. 7;':
The only free coinage argument that
is worth i a moment's consideration is
the argument that free coinage will
make money more abundant. If more
abundant, necessarily cheaper. We
are told that there will then be two dol
lars where there is now but one. One
of the principal demands of one of the
free coinage forces is for a circulation
of $50 per capita, where how we have
about $24. , If the circulation 1 --doubled
by the free coinage of silver dollars of
half value, it follows that the purchas
ing power of tha dollarwill be cut half
in two. Suppose, then, that every man
has two dollars then whereas he has
only ona now, and that the two cheap
dollars will buy no more than the one
sound dollar, it is manifest that he is no
better off . - But a moment's reflection
will show any working man that he ia
not going to have two dollars against
the one he has now.' ' The circulating
medium may be doubled and the prices
of food and clothing doubled, but the man
who gets $100 per month is not going
to have his salary raised to $200; the
clerk at $50 per month is not going to
get $100; the mill hand who gets $1 a
day is not going to get $2; the carpenter,
painter or bnck-layer who gets $2 per
day is not going to get $4; the printer
who makes $lo per week is not going to
nake $30. Political economists tell us
that in any period of advancing prcies
land and labor are the last things that
rise. So, then, undet au inflation of I
the currency to be exact, under a de- i
basement of the currency the salaried
man and the wageworker will find their
clothing, their flour, and everything
else- Uaey have to. buy." higher, while
their salaries or wages will etaud still,
or practically so. It was only yesterday
that we were writing of the situation of
affairs in the United States of Colombia,
where one gold dollar is equal to $2.35
in silver and jet where wages are lower,
even in that debased currency, than in
the United States of America, where
the money is all good. It is"so in Mex
ico. It is so in every country which is
on a Silver basis, to which it is being
sought to bring this country. . j
The cheap money heresy has'no attrac-l
tions for men who live on salaries and
by wages. It may catch some others
but these can never be deluded by r.
The sound.money argument, as applied
to them, is too plain. They heedthat
their money shall be the very best: It
is so now and there are enough of them
to see to it that it is kept so.

The cheap money delusion only flourf

"Money is the lifeblood of trade" is
a favorite fallacy of the silverites and

from ignorance of the real nature of the

Silver Would Keplace Gold.
Question. Would there be more mon-
ey in the country with the free coinage
of silver? . ,
-r Answer. There would at first be very
much less owing to the withdrawal of
gold. After values became adjusted to the
silver basis silver would be coined here
as it is in Mexico. There would be no de
mand for silver on account of its coin-

Money has to circulate before it can
get into people's pockets and to make it
circulate there must be business, trad
ing, commercial activity, the invest
ment of capital, the opening of new en
terprises, and before there can jbe such
commercial and financial activity there
must be confidence in the future that
legislation will not destroy the value of
investments made. There must j be an
assurance that when a -dollar is let out
for use it will come back whole and not
clipped of half its value. In no other
way can people get money in their pock
ets. No government has attempted such
a foolish i thing as to give the people
money, and the mere manufacture of
money at the mints would do nobody
any good.- St. Joseph Herald. ' j
