Cyrus J?. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. NO VIOLENT DERANGEMENT. One of the. stock arguments against the free coinage of silver is that it will result in such a sudden and violent derangement of our monetary , system as will bring un told disaster to the country. This Is based on two assumptions,- both of Which are taken for granted and neither of; which has any good ground to stand upon. . The first of these is that it would drive gold out of the country and put us upon a silver basis, with silver' Or its paper. representatives as our only money. But why this? Didn't We have gold; and silver jointly in use up to the time of the demonetization act of '1873? Silver didn't drive gold out of the . country then, and although it was hi 1873 worth more than gold gold didn't drive silver ut. If the Gresham law, which they are so prone to quote, be true Without ex ception we should have had no silver then, and oily gold in circulation. 1 As a matter of fact there was vety li'ttle of either metal in circula tion because paper money beii lighter l and more convenient than either was for that reason preferred to eitjier.jwhich is the case now. There is very little gold in circulation, although there is $600,000,000 of it in alleged circulation, and there is . very little silver, although there is . about $500,000,000 of this ia alleged circulation. The gold in circulation , (not $600,000,000 nor anything like it) is' simply where it can be got on demand by those who hold paper payable in goldand the silver is rep resented by paper ceftificates good for as many silver dollars as they call for. There is therefore no danger of silver driving gold but of circulation because it is not in circulation. . Bat why should silver drive gold out of khe country? Gold goes Only where here is special demand for it, ' and it does not go unless there is a suffidient inducement '. to bring it. When that is the case it will go, for - then, the gold speculators will pick it 1 up and ship It, just as they are doing how and have been doing ey.er since the U. S. Treasury has one into the business of gathering it in so that it will be convenient for them to draw and ship. If silver drives it out it cjould hardly1 drive it1' as. fast as the present gold standard has done, for under; that nearly $350,000,000 of our gold has gone out within the past six years. "' The second assumption is that the tree coinage of silver would give us 50 cent dollars, because there Would be, according to their way of reason- mg, only 50 cents worth, of silver in . a dollar. But why is the present i value of the silver in - a dollar only t0 cents?, Simply because it was .debarred from the mints and reduced to the statusof a commercial metal, and went on the markets just as lead, iron ; or copper does. The demands of the arts- are 'limited; and conse quently there is a surplus on hand which keeps the price down, just as a surplus of anything else does. When it had access to the mints as gjld Had and now has its price kept . up to the coin value, rust as the nrir - ... ' - IT - of gold does, because it could be converted into -eoin and the owner wduld not sell it for less. Then if the purchaser who needed it for the arts wanted it he had to pay the 1 "J Prce for it if he got it. And so it would be again if free coinage - were restored. Instead of the value of the coined dollar going down to the price of the bullion the price of the bullion would go dp to the value of th& coin. We fail to see where there will be - any "violent derangement" in this unless making our money better and in 'more general demand may be called a violent derangement. There will be nothing sudden about it, for at most we could not cola more than about $4,000,00) a month, or $50, 000,0000 a year, which would not add more than 75 cents per capita to the volume of money in - circulation.; Certainly there Is ' no danger of "in flation" in that, no more than there was when silver coinage was re resumed in 1878, when the predic tions of disaster from inflation and the violent derangement of our mon etary system were quite as hairlif ting as they are now. But coinage went on for twelve year and didn't create a ripple-in the business world, save tor the impetus it gave' to business and the good it did by the general and steady Increase in the volume of the currency. There will not be a dollar of the silver coined from the date of its re habilitation, which will not be as good as any other dollar which will not pay as much debt,'' apd buy as much as any gold dollar, and the only man who can or will object to it is J the man wno noius a ueui, wun-u. payable under the law in silver now, and demands gold instead. If heges silver, which is lawful money and was lawful money when the debt was contracted, he has no right to com plain. If he owed the Government a debt payable in gold or silver at his option, he would pay it in that coin which it was the most conve nient for him to pay. What would be fair and honest for him to do, is fair and honest for the people of the United States to do, especially since they make no new departure and are simply acting in accordance with the law as it is now. The people who are' talking about disaster, violent derangement Of the monetary sys tem, &c, are only trying to scare silver men, and don't believe what they say themselves. ' MIS OIL MENTION. ' A short while ago Horace "Boies in an interview at Waterloo, his home in Iowa, briefly 'answered the letter of Mr. Whitney, of New York, in which he contended that 1 the Democratic Dartv must not commit itself to the free coinage of silver, independent of . other nations, but must wait for the co-operation of the leading European nations. Mr. Boies does not believe international action practicable any time in the near future, and insists that the free coinage of silver is the only way in sight by which the crushing burden can be lifted from the shoulders of the masses' of the American people, and the condition of the farmers of the country be made tolerable. In answer to this the gold organs of the East 'have instructed their corres pondents to show that Mrv Boies, jyho is a Western man and somewhat of a farmer himself, doesn't know anything about the condition of the farmers, who instead of being on the gged edge are really revelling in prosperity, although they do not know it, and are there fare carried away by the silver "craze." When the farmers read thejse gol3 papers, if they ever do, they Will be surprised to learn how prosperous they are and that they haven't discovered it themselves Henry War.d Beecher once said that the workman who could, not live on bread and water should starve, or words1 to that effect. Perhaps the prosperity ideas of these gold cor respondents are patterned after the Beecher style and they conclude that the farmer who gets enough to eat is prospering and has no' reason to complain. With the ruling prices of agricultural products for , some years, and the aggregate indebted ness of the .farmers of the West, it is quite evident that they must be on the, top rung . of prosperity, but somehow they have ' failed to dis cover it. v ' ; . . Facts are stubborn things to deal with, but there are many people who close their eyes to them when'the facts conflict with their own conten tions or the theories they hold. The gold organs persistently refuse to admit, that the goldT standard has had anything to do with the decline of. values in this country, which they try to account for in, various ways, but no two of them inthe same way. The Richmond State has been a gold standard paper, and is yet, but hot as extreme on that side as' it has 'been, for it is beginning to recognize the fact that there is good ground for the monetary, agitation now go ing oh in this country and thar pos sibly the present gold standard may have something to do with -the de cline of values, as we gather from the following editorial: The Roanoke Loan, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, which recently as signed, showed assets of 665,O00 and liabilities of $294,000. It seems remark able, indeed, that a company with such an exhibit should he forced to make an assignment. The assignment is due of course to snrinkage in values. Some of the shrinkage was due to a collapsed boom, but that does not account for all of it. Values have shrunk to an alarm ing aztent in every city and section of the country, and that is why the people are so ct&zj for free silver. They believe mat we value of property : has depre elated because tne value of money has appreciated.- - : We are not areulntr the Question but simply stating a fact as to the sentiment of the public. This is the problem that conironts tne political parties of the day and this is tne problem they must wrestle with in the coming campaign "Values have shrunkto an alarming extent in every city and section of the country," and yet the gold organs are constantly reminding us of the fact that there is a plethora of money in the Eastern banks and in London. This shrinkage in values is simply the logical result of a monetary system which has practically destroyed-one our money metals -and made it possible for'a few men to control the money supply and thus control the prices of " everything', bought with money. ' - . : For a man who at the eleventh hour gave up his summer sojourn In Europe to go to nicago iu ueip close the breach and ''save the Denu ocratic party," Mr. Whitney does a good " deal of ' unnecessary and strange talking. A harmonizer must necessarily be a compromiser, a man who is willing to make some conces sions for the sake of harmony. The man who ' is unwilling to concede something, who expects everybody to cometa him, need not expect to "harmonize" much if the . men he has to deal with be manly men and have any principles to defend. And that's the kind of men Mr. Whitney and they who are co operating with him will meet at Chicago. Hence, what nonsense to hear him on the eve of his departure for Chicago In dulging In the following arrogant anguage: - Compromise is impossible." It would be abandonment of principle. It would disgrace every citizen. It would be not merely dishonest, it would be dishon orable, and vou cannot compromise a question of honor. This , declaration is echoed with the endorsement and praises of some of the Eastern Democratic gold or gans, which seem to forget that it is not only offensively arrogant,, but m the nature of a deliberate insult to the silver men, and a wanton reflec tion on the honor and honesty of every man who contends,, for the reinstatement of the silver dollar. If that Is the kind of stuff that: Mr. Whitney is loaded up with, and that be the spirit that is going to actuate him'; and his co-laborers . for gold, they majs as. well remain at home. William P. Sr. John, the only Na tional banker in the North who ad vocates the free coinage of sijver, is a native of Georgia, but has lived in New York many years. He was ori ginally a gold man, began to study the question to' support the gold side, but the more he studied, the more thoroughly convinced he be came that bimetallism was the right thing and since then he has been an aggressive and enthusiastic advo cateof free silver. ? borne of the gold organs repre- Horace Boies as contending that this country has a right to pay its debts in 50-cent dollars. Mr. Boies makes na such contention. He contends that this country has a right to pay its debts in gold or silver,' the money of the Constitution. That's all. He does not recognize. -any 50 cent dol lar. "..-'' '''::':;..'!' ? CURRENT COMMENT.?

There is yet a stifling atmos phere "of cowardice about Canton' and ia the circle of McKinley's im mediate friends.
