With these in hand, and they being legal tender, he could pay off iiis-deposits with 500,000 of the coins and keep 518,000 of them as the reward of his shrewdness. His real profit would not be '$518,000. They would be cheap dollars, and compared with gold dollars, would possess but half their purchasing nower, so we must divide the $518,000 by 2, which gives him a net gold profit of 259,0o0 on the transaction. You will ask, then, why with such possibilities before them, the bankers oppose the measure. I will tell you. and tell you truly. It is because they foresee, as everyone who under stands the matter must foresee,, that with the adoption of the measure gold would disappear into private hoards; the reserves of the banks now largely in gold, would be drawn out; they would be forced to contract their loans; a'general and exhausting liquidation would take place; merchants and manufacturers would fail, and in the eneral wreck and ruin the banker would not escape. But do not flatter yourselves that you would be exempt from the general disaster. Shops and factories would be closed; a sharp halt would be called on all enter prises; labor would go into idleness; wages would be reduced, and general misery "realized. There would be a re surrection, no doubt. Our country Is too great, its resources too manifold, to lo'g remain in bankruptcy and idleness. With the old wnecks cleared away, we would begin again. The new silver money would be the money standard and the common medium of exchange, and after inconceivable disaster we would have the chronic condition of a fluctuating cur rency now enjoyed in our neighboring "Republic, Mexico. ; Value of the New Coins Mexico has her mints open to the free coinage of both pold and silver at the ratio of 10 to 1; but all of her -gold goes abroad. She is -hopelessly on the silver standard, and her dollars, heavier in weight and finer-in quality than ours, have a value always rising or falling as the price of silver bullion rises and falls in the world's market. The average value of the 'Mexican dollar is about 50 cents in gold. It sometimes falls to 48; it sometimes rises to 52 or 53. Com pared to gold, the extreme fluctuations in value within the limits of a single year are as much as 10 per cent. Our free silver coinaga advocates, nota bly Mr. Bryan, assure us that it will be different here:. they tell us that Mexico is a small country,, while we are a great people, 80 millions in number, and that the demand here will bring the new sil-. ver dollars up to par. They forget that the Mexican dollar is current money in all of China, the Straits Settlements, the Pbilifmines, and all the islands of the Pacific. Not less than 400 millions of people, use Mexican dollars in prefer ence even to gold, and yet the power of those dollars the world over is sub stantially 50 cents in gold. No, my friends, values will not respond to the Bryan reasoning. Neither parlia ments nor congresses, kings nor presi dent, can change or annul the natural laws of economic relationship. Effect on Present Sliver Stock ' i y There is another point, not yet noticed, of the weightiest consideration. When the silver bullion now owned by the government shall be fully coined therq will be outstanding in the form of silver dollars or silver certificates the sum of nearly six hundred millions. With the free coinage of silver on private account it will be impossible for the Treasury to maintain the parity now existing be- tween a 11 rorms or our money, vine sil ver dollaTs we now. have will inevitably sink to a level with the new dollars that is to say, they will sink to their bul lion value. This result might not be instantaneous. Instead of going over Niagara Fails at one lean we might go through the locks and levels of the Welland Canal. Whatever the delays or circuitous character of the route, wc would ultimately iind ourselves on the lower levelt our present stock of silver dollars shrunken to their bullion value,' or about 50 per cent of their present cost to Ve holders. This means that the present of future holders of our silver money are to be defrauded of substan tially three liunarea millions m tsiuc. And who are these holders not the ; banks, not the capitalists. The silver j money is scattered far and wide in the hands of hundreds of thousands of our people, most of whom live west of the Alleghanies. , Don't let ns worry about the alleged crime of 1873. Let us look in the face the actual crime which it is proposed .that we commit in 1900. , But Mr., Bryan waves this all aside. He says that sentiments are superior, to finances and that man is above the dol lar. His metaphor is a kind of misfit garment; but, accepting it, let us answer that if man is above the dollar, he ought to be above infinitely above this half dollar fraud which the Democratic party espouses. . We are menaced by the opposition with an expressed determination to en ter upon tfiat foolish and destructive ex periment. Every one of the three-parties nominating Mr. 03rvan has declared for that- programme. The election of 189b .proved that a majority of our people were still sane and right-minded. They then rejected these' proposals by an over whelming vote. "Warned by that experi ence, the leader of the joint alliance is reserved in his declamations on the money question. IHe and his supporters have 'invented a phantom thing they call imperialism. It is not a genuine issue. It is a wooden horse, concealed in which the op position hope to enter the city with a free silver captain at their head.yWill you surrender the gates to their un righteous invasion and thus contribute Id your own undoing, or will you aid to bar them out?
