JOHN K
HOVT OIS THE
EH QVEBTION.
Ml.
AROUND TOWN.
TDinks There Has Been a
Oreal Cbanice oi sentlniciit Iu
The Houlh Wants a Dollar
WorlhiooCculi-Mr. Pearson's
Resolution.
Editor The Citizen: The lion. W. T.
Crawford has given expression to both
bis views and intentions concerning the
silver question; and I, (orotic, ani dis
appointed. That a great change oi
opinion has taken place South on this
question since the presidential campaign
cannot be denied. The Southern people,
since then, have read and thought a
great deal about this stupendous prob
lem, and have become educated to thai
extent that a change is demanded. livery
indication shows that the change must
come in the shape of the repeal of the
Sherman bill. Mr. Crawford's letter
shows that he is not in touch with the
demand, that he doss not realize its
extent, lie has his fling at the bankers
which seems to be a prevailing fashion
these days and sets their opinions for
naught.
Let us make a comparison, and see
how the matter stands. Mr. Crawford
is a young man. He has never been in
the banking business; neither has he ever
engaged in financiering in auv sense ot
the word. During the few months he lias
been in Congress, he certainly has not
had time to master this most tlifiieult
problem. His knowledge ot finance
mujt, perforce, be very limited and purely
theoritical. On the contrary, the great
bankers of the world are men, for the
most part, whose lives have been de
voted to the study of finance and politi
cal economy. Their knowledge must
necessarily be practical. If the banker is
an evil, as Mr. Crawford would have
us think, he is a very necessary one.
The commerce of the world would rather
be in a sad state were he abolished. Hy
whose opinions shall we be guided, Mr.
Crawford's or those men who have made
finance a life-study ? When our liver is
actio); badly, to whom do we go tor ad
vice, our lawyer or our physician ?
Would Mr. Crawford take his gold to
Europe and lend it if he knew the inter
est would be paid in a debased coiu
worth but little over fifty cents on the
dollar ? Clearly not. And yet this very
fact has much to do with the present
monetary trouble. Foreign capitalists
are not only not seeking investments in
this country at present but arc even
withdrawing their capital for this very
reason.
Silver is hardly classed any more as a
precious metal. It has become too plen
tiful and cheap. It enters into commerce
just as our wheat and corn. It is sold
at so much per ounce, just as iron and
copper are sold at so much per pound.
It fluctuates in value just as those coin
modifies do, its price being regulated by
demand and supply. For these reasons
alone it would be impossible to make it
into a coin of standard value. If the
present silver dollar was stamped hlty
rive cents and passed as such, it would
approximate its true value sufficiently
for all practical purposes. The question
is: Should Mr. Crawford adhere to his
expressed resolution will he represent
his constituency or only himself at the
approaching session of Congress?
Our greatly beloved Senator Vance has
also spoken in his accustomed straight
forward, manly way. Again, am 1 dis
appointed, though not surprised. He
made bis usual happy hit in alluding to
silver as the money of Abraham. It
was biblical, and that passes for a great
(leal witli some people. It also showed
that the Senator had read his Bible. It
was only a sentiment however; but one
that will carry great force with it among
that class who read little else but the
Bible. However well silver money mav
suit Senator Vance and Father Abra
ham, if, during the life of the latter ven
able but shrewd patriarch, the Colorado
mines had been opened and worked for
all they were worth, he would have for
gotten all about passing off his wife for
his silver, and, converting his shcckles of
silyer into cold, would have speedily de
camped with his flocks and herds into
some other country.
Even diamonds became cheaper 1k-
cause more plentiful, alter the opening of
the South African diamond fields.
The thousand and one articles that arc
imported and which enter into our dailv
use as necessaries have to be oaid for in
gold, and we, the people, who purchase
ana use mem, have to nav iitst that di -
ference between a fifty-five cent silver
dollar and a one hundred ceut gold dol
lar.
"Resolved, That in any future coinage
oi stiver, me ratio between gold and sil
ver should be readjusted to conform to
the actnal market value of the two met
als, so that a dollar of either shall tc
worth intrinsically a dollar of the other.
It seems to me that, in offering this
resolution at the Asheville Commercial
club Mr. Richmond Pearson-covered the
entire ground; and I commend this reso
lution to the careful consideration of our
Senator and Congressman. 1 don't care
how many silver dollars are coined,
gentlemen, but I want them worth one
dollar, and not fifty-five cents.
