Iwith mr. Bryan's election. the "silver dollar.
measured by its purchasing pOWer. will be
worth not a cent more than the market value
of the silver contained in it. If the market
value of that quantity is 50 cents, and you
present at the mint 50 cents’ worth of bullion,
you get back, not a gold dollar, but a silver
dollar. worth just 50 cents. You might, instead
of taking your bullion to the mint, sell it in
the market for just the same amount of :non-
ey. Indeed, bullion owners; unless they have
some special reason for taking their bullion to
the mint, will take it to the market and sell
it there, as they very extensively do in all
countries in which there is free silver coinage.
Why shbuld they not? Because, if they have
their bullion coined, they get legal tender dol~
lars for it. Why, if they sell it in the market
they get there legal tender dollars likewise.
It will therefore be a more question of special
convenience whether they take it to the mint
or to the market. And in the market, accord-
ing to all human reason and experience, its
‘price will, temporary fluctuations notwith-
standing, remain‘ on the whole very near to
the figure of the cost at which it can in’large
quantities be produced. Mr. Bryan's strange
imaginings have therefore proved only that
when he speaks of government purchases of
silver and fixing prices and creating a de-
mand greater than the supply, he simply does
not know what free coinage is.
Every sensible person, I trust, will now ad-
mit that free silver coinage in the United
States alone will make bimetallism, the equal
use of both gold and silver as money, utterly
impossible, here as well as abroad. It will
confirm Europe in gold monometallism and
condemn us to silver monometallism—the er
elusive use of silver as money“ and of paper
based upon silver. N o doubt this is what the
silver men are really aiming at.
How Free Silver \Vill Work.
Let us now consider how ‘it will afiect the
various interests of the people. The first
blessing we are promised to flow from free
cenage is a general rise of prices. This means
that the silver dollar will buy less than the
gold dollar did, and this for the reason that
it is no longer Worth as much as the gold dol-
lar. Evidently the promise of bimetallism, of
silver rising to its old price on the one hand, '
and the promise 'of higher prices owing to a
less valuable silver dollar on the other band
do not go together. The one or the other is a
fraud. Of course the fraud is the promise of
bimetallism. The rise of prices owing to the
debasement of the dollar will begin at once
as soon as gold departs and we slip on the sil-
ver basis. Bread will be dearer; milk, coflee,
sugar, tea, meat, vegetables, will be dearer;
clothes, shoes and hats will be dearer; rents.
furniture, coal, kerosene—in short, every ar-
ticle the price of which can be raised by the
seller.
-* High prices are a two edged sword—handy to
the seller, but unpleasant to the buyer. They
press, of course, hardest upon those who are
compelled to buy most in proportion to their
income or their earnings. And who are they?
The poor people. What a rich family spends
upon the actual necessaries of life, the indis~
-pensable food, clothing and shelter, is very
little compared with its income. Most of its
expenditures go for things that are not neces-
saries and may be classed as luxuries, the pur-
chasing of which may be suspended or post-
poned without hardship. But the poor family,
the wage earner's family, is obliged to spend
a very lar e part of its income from do to day
upon foo , clothing, shelter, heat an light,
that cannot be tem orarily dispensed with
without hardship. tom 3 rise in the prices
of the necessaries of life the poor people there-
fore suffer by far the most.
\Vhere the \Vage Earner \Vlll Come In.
How stands the case of the wage earners
whose product can be raised in price propor-
tionate to the debasement of the dollar? As
the dollar falls in value the manufacturer or
the merchant marks up his goods. The work-
ingman or the clerk, finding himself hard
pressed by the rise in price of the necessaries
of life, applies for a corresponding increase
of wages. The head of the factory or the
inercan tile establishment admits that some in-
crease is called for. “But,” says he, “you are
not the only person in trouble. The value of
our money is fluctuating. We hardly know
what it is today. We surely do not know what
it will be next week. Profits are excessively
close anyhow. We make a sale or a purchase
today and think it is at a profit. Tomorrow
we may find that it was at a loss. We hardly
venture to make a contract to be filled at a
future time, because we can make no safe cal-
culations. We can increase your wages a lit-
tle, but not much. For that you will have to
wait until things are more settled. Besides,
this silver free coinage has ' thrown all busi-
ness into dreadful confusion, and there are
plenty of people out of employment who
would do your work for less than you get
now.” And so the wage earner has to he sat-
isfied with a little increase of pay and wait for
more while the advanced prices of necessaries
prey upon him.
Is this mere conjecture? It is the experience
of every country that has been cursed by a
rise of prices through money of fluctuating
value. I defy any one to show me in the whole
history of the world a single exception. Have
we not, during our civil war, witnessed it with
our own eyes? In 1862, when our irredeemable
paper currency had begun to depreciate, the
average wages of labor rose only 3 per cent,
while average prices rose 18. In 1863, when
wages had risen 101/2 per cent, average prices
were 49 per cent higher; in 1864 wages had
risen 253/4 per cent and prices 90%: in 1865
wages had advanced 43 per cent and prices 117
above what wages and prices had been in gold
in 1861. In other words, the laboring man’s
wages had lost in purchasing power more than
80 cents in every dollar. Every country la-
boring under similar conditions tells the same
story. What reason in the world is there to
assume that this universal rule will not oper-
ate in the case of free coinage?
And what have the apostles of free silver
coinage to say to this? Hear Mr. Bryan him-
self in his famous New York oration, “While
a gold standard raises the purchasing power
of the dollar it also makes it more difficult to
obtain possession of the dollar—employment
is less permanent, loss of work more probable
and re-employment less certain." Is that all?
Yes, all. Does not Mr. Bryan know that un-
der what was practically the gold standard
we had in the fifties one of the most active
and prosperous periods this country has ever
seen? Does he not know that more recently,
at the time of the return to specie payments,
we had under the gold standard years of sig-
nal prosperity with all hands at work? And
does he. wish to learn what has been the
trouble since and what is the trouble now?
Let him ask the employers of labor, and with
almost one voice they will tell him that not
the existing gold standard, but the growing
danger of its overthrow, that the growing ag-
gressiveness of the free coinage movement,
filling the minds of men with anxious appre-
hensions as to dark future uncertainties, has
seryed to paralyze that spirit of enterprise
which sets the laboring man to work. Let him
study the history of lie crisis of 1893. Not the
gold standard, but distrust of silver destroy-
ed the confidence that employs labor. This
is thetruth, and Mr. Bryan will in vain try to
deny 1t.
Debtor and Creditor.
The free coinage men profess especial solici-
tude for those whom they call “the debtor
class.” Who are the debtor class? Our silver
friends speak as if, as a rule, the rich people
were creditors and the poor were debtors. Is
this correct? In my household I am the debtor
to the cook and the chambermaid and the
washerwoman two or 'three weeks in the
month, and they are my creditors. Nor
are they likely to be debtors to anybody else,
while I may be, for they have little if
any credit, while I perhaps have some. I am
therefore the only debtor in my house.
The relations between the large employer of
labor and the employees are‘ substantially the
same. Ordinarily the employer, the rich man,
is apt to be the only debtor among them.
The employees are, as a rule, only creditors,
and as they lay up savings they are apt to be-
come Creditors in a larger sense.” They depos-
it their money in savings banks or invest it in
building associations, in mutual benefit socie-
‘ties,_in loan companies or in life insurance
policies and become capitalists in a small
way. The amount deposited by people of
small meahs in the savings banks of the United
States is sit present something over $1,800,000,-
000, that invested in building associations
about $800,000,000, in mutual benefit societies
$365.000.0005and in life insurance many hun-
dred milli us more.
The num rof such creditors belonging to
what our si ver friends often call “the toiling
masses" is were??? 19!?" Puerllfewhw 1
,1 I. _
. ,
‘ with their dependents it may: for'anght "‘65:
know, amount to slamooo or SE),000,000. Who
are the debtors of these creditors? The sav-
ings banks had, according to the reports of.
189,4, loanedeut about one-half of the money.
deposited with them on real estate mortgages
and invested the other half in United States
bonds, state, county and municipal bonds and
railroad and other bonds and stocks. The in-
vestments of. the life insurance companies
Were about proportionately the same. The in-
vestments in real estate mortgages are always.
preferably in- large amounts, on property‘be-
longing to comparative-1y wealthy persons or
to business corporations. Thus the debtors to
these creditors belmging to the toiling masses.
are the United States, states and municipali-
ties, railroad and other corporations and per‘
sons very much richer than the creditors-
Here we- have, then, rich debtors owing to.
many millions of poor creditors thousands of:
millions: of dollars.
The silver orators pretend that they have the
toiling masses greatly at heart and that free
coinage-is to be introduced mainly for their
benefit; How do they take care of the toiling
‘masses in this case? By bringing us down
upon the silver basis they simply cut down
the thousands of millions of invested savings
of poor people to about 50cents on the dollar.
And for whose benefit‘ is this done? For the
benefit of the debtors of these poor people, who
will gain about 50 cents on the dollar.. And
who are they? Aside from the United States
and the states and municipalities, those
debtors are railroad and other corporations
and more or less rich men. whom our silver
friends profess to abhor very much as belong-
ing to the “money power.” Thus- will the
silver standard bleed the poor creditor for the
benefit of the rich debtor. May not the toil-
ing masses pray heaven to deliver them of the
free coinage friends?
How the People’s Savings \Vill Fare.
And what have these friends to. say in their
own defense? I will again let Mr. Bryan's New
York oration speak. He snys‘first, with regard
to the insurance companies, “Since the total
premiums received exceed the total losses paid,
a rising standard must be of more benefit to
the companies than to the policy holders.”
How wisel
have this benefit he proposes. by the silver
standard to strip the policies of the policy
holders of nearly half their value! But does
not Mr. Bryan know that most of these com-
panies are mutual insurances, and that what
benefits or injures the companies therefore
benefits or injures the policy holders?
As to the saving bank depositors he says,
“Under a gold standard there is increasing
danger that the savings bank depositors will
lose their deposits because of the inability of
the banks to collect their assets.” And to
avert this danger Mr. Bryan advises a policy
which would, by the introduction of the silver
standard. at once cut down the value of those
assets to 50 cents. on the dollar. He further
says, “If the gold standard is to continue in‘
definitely, the depositors in savings banks may
be compelled to withdraw their deposits in
order to pay living expenses." Indeed! It is
a remarkable fact that since 1873, the year of
the great crime, until 1895, during the period
when we had to sufier all the calamities of the
gold standard, the deposits in savings banks
have, instead of being withdrawn for living
expenses, increased—positively increased——
much over $1,000,000.000. And they would
have increased still more had not some deposit-
ors withdrawn their deposits, not for living
expenses, but to send their. to Europe for safe-
ty, out of the way of Mr. Bryan and other
friends of the toiling masses. They will no
doubt bring that money back as soon as Mr.
Bryan is beaten.
Let us go on. Almost every man in active
business is a debtor and a creditor at the same
time—every merchant, every manufacturer,
a creditor to his customers and a debtor to
those from whom he buys. Let Mr. Bryan
bring on his panic. and hundreds if not thou-
sands of them, although ever so solvent under
ordinary circumstances. will break because
they cannot pay what they owe, being unable
to collect what is due them.
“Cheap Money” Fallacies.
But we are told that the Bryan panic cannot
last forever; that finally the business of the
country will adjust itself to the silver basis;
that then unrest will cease, and that confidence
and prosperity will return. N o. the unrest
will not cease, for with the establishment of
the silver basis will come the disappointment
of those who brought it on.
The ultimate result is not at all uncertain.
After a period of infinite confusion, disaster,
humiliation, suffering and misery the Amer-
ican people will at last regain sanity of mind
and arrive again at some very simple conclu-
sions: That, if you call a peck a bushel, you
will have more bushels, but not more grain:
if you call a foot a yard, you will have more
yards, but not more cloth; if you call a square
rod an acre, you will have more acres, but
not more land, and if you call 50 cents orl
cent or a bit of paper, a dollar, you will
have more dollars, but not more Wealth—in-
deed, a great deal less chance for wealth, for
you will have far less credit, because far less
honesty. We shall then have learned again
that the wit of man cannot—although insanity
tries very hard—invent an economic system
under which everything you have to sell will
be dear and everything you have to buy will
be cheap. And having got hold of these very,
very simple truths, the American people will
then in sackcloth and ashes repent of this in.
sane free coinage debauch. They will then
recognize how wise the great civilized nations
were in adopting the only money in our days
capable of being the money of the world’s
commerce as their own money. We shall then
be sufiiciently cured of prejudice to observe
that under that monetary system those na-
tions have on the whole prospered, notwith-.
standing serious evils and drawbacks under
which we do not labor, and that the rate of in-
terest is lowest where the gold standard has
existed longest. We shall then understand that
it is a good thing to have the necessaries of
life in plenty and cheap: to have wages rising
and payable in money that does not deceive;
to have capital inspired with confidence in the
value of money, and therefore eager to go out
in investment or enterprise. We shall then
readily acknowledge how foolish we were
from the very beginning of our silver experi-
ments in throwing away our gold for silver,
by which we lost confidence, credit and pros-
perity. Chastened by adversity, we shall then
no longer be tempted to repeat such nonsense,
but with laborious and painful effort we shall
work our Way back to that money standard
which will insure stability and confidence at
home and enable us to trade with the nations
of the world on equal terms.
It is not- my habit to boast of a warm heart
for the poor and suffering. But my sympathy
is no less sincere because I do not carry my
love and solicit-tide for the common people
constantly at my tongue’s end. If there be
those who are satisfied with everything that
exists, I am not one of them. There afe few, if
any, who abhor that which may properly be
called plutocracy or detest the arrogance of
wealth more heartily than I do. I know, also,
that the industrial developments of our time
have brought hardship to some classes of peo-
ple which only the more sagacious, active and
energetic among them have been able to
counterbalance profitably with its benefits.
There are laws and practices which, had I the
power, I would promptly change, in the inter-
est 'of common justice and equity. But be-
cause I am so minded I must?~ oppose to the
utmost a policy which, I am convinced, will
immeasurably aggravate existing evils. I also
know full well that a large majority of those
who support free coinage are honest and well
meaning citizens, wishing to do right. But
because ,1 know this, my blood stirs with in-
dignation when I see the unscrupulous efforts
made to good them on to their destruction.
I have witnessed in my long life ten presi-
dential campaigns, but never one in which the
appeals to prejudice, passion and cupidity
were so reckless and the speculation upon as‘
sumed popular ignorance or rascality so an-
dacious and wicked. Some of. the silver ora-
tors actually speak as if they believed the
American people to be born fools or knaves,
or both.
Sectional and Class Prejudice.
They seek to excite the people of the west
against the east because, as, Mr. Bryan said
in the Chicago convention, the east injurious-
ly interferes with’the’, business of the west.
Aye, the , east has interfered with western
business, but how? In helping to build west-
ern railroads, to dig western canals, to set up
western telegraphs, to establish western fac-
tories, to build up Western towns. ‘to move
Western crops, to allay western distress caus-
ed by fire, flood or drought. ' Has thi'sserved

mingled on the common battlefields of the re-
public. And now comes this young man, as if '
we had not suffered enough from sectional
strife, and talks affl‘enemy’s country!"
They seek to excite what they call “the
poor" against what they call “the rich"—-in.
this land of greatopportunitiesfor all, where,
now as-ever,.so mnny'of the poor: of yesterday.
are among the rich of today and so many of‘
the rich of ,ltoday maybe among the poor of. to:
morrow._ Their candidate-for‘the presidency
presented acharacteristic spectacle when some
time ago he was». kindly shownover the farm
of, the governor-of New York, who. is himself
an example of the poor country boy risenby
able and honest. effort to afiluence‘ and distinc-
tion, and whenthat candidate then straight-
way in a. public speech drew invidious com~
parisons between the elegant houses on; the
Hudson and. the poor; cabins in the west—
teaching not. the true American lesson of. suc-
cess won by honest industry, thrift and enter
prise, but thclesson that those who have suc-
ceeded less should hate andfight those wno
have succeeded more—a lesson utterly un-
American, nnpatriotic and abominable !’
They tell. the farmer—most cruel deception
—that he must and will be made independent
of the world abroad. while year after year
from $500,000,000, to $200,000,000 worth of our
agricultural products must seek the foreign
market to find purchasers and While nothing
will hurt the farmer more than a serious im-
pairment of the great. home-murketby a busi-
ness crisis.
False Friends. of Labor.
They proclaim themselves the special cham-
pions of the toiling masses, while their policy
would rob the laboring man of half of his sav-
ings and grievously curtail the value of his
wages. Am I asked, if the silver standard
will relatively reduce Wages, why so many
employers of labor are opposed to it? The
reason is obvious, because, aside from all con~
siderations of sentiment, the prudent employ-
ers of labor know that they would lose vastly
more through the disastrous disturbance of
business sure to be caused by a free coinage
victory than they could possibly gain by the
cheapening of labor. And would not the toiling
masses sufier most from that disturbance of
business? He is a traitor to the laboring man
who tells him that he can profit by the ruin
of his employer.
The agitators denounce the gold standard as
the device of monarchs and aristocrats,
while the history of the world teaches that
from time immemorial it was a favorite trick
of unscrupulous despots to fleece their subjects
by debasing the coin of the realm, and that
those who out of the monetary confusion
evolved fixed standards of values and money
that would not cheat have always been rank-
ed among the most meritorious benefactors of
mankind and especially of the poor and week.
They seek to inflame the vanity of the Amer-
ican people by telling them that we are great
and strong enough to maintain any monetary
system we like and to keep up the value ‘of
our money without regard to all the world
abread—while our own history teaches us that
a century ago the American people were
strong enough to shake off the yoke of Great
Britain, but not strong enou to save their
continental money from declining in value to
nothing: that in recent times the American
people were strong enough to subdue a gigan~
tic rebellion, but not strong enough to keep
an indefinite issue of greenbacks at par. and
that this republic may be able to conquer the
world, but it will not be able to make twice
two five or to make itself richer by watering
its currency.
They speak of the silver dollar as the money
of the constitution, while they must know
that there is not one single word in the cone
stitution which, honestly interpreted, could
justify such a claim.
They invoke for their cause the names of
Jefferson and Jackson, while every reader of
history knows that Jefferson and. Jackson
would have stood aghast at their wild scheme
of creating by law a false value and would
have kicked out of their presence as a public
nuisance any one seriously advocating it.
Such things the free coinage a itators tell
the American people, assuming hem to be
without intelligence. Far worse are the ap-
peals. they address to them, assuming them to
e Without moral sense.
Immoral Pleas.
They have been teaching the people that
because the prices of wheat and other things
have fallen about one-half since the so called
demonetization year, 1873—1 have shown why
those prices have fallen—it is not equitable
that debtors should be held to pay more than
half the amount of their debts in gold, that
they should be released in correspondence
with the decline of prices, and that it would
therefore be right to reduce by free silver
coinage the value of the debt paying money
by one-half. . .
Subject the principle to a simple test. When
I contract a debt, I owe what it is mutually
understood that I am to pay. Our whole busi-
ness life and social fabric. all human inter‘
course, rests upon the binding force of such
understandings. Unless it be expressly under.
stood, has the debtor the slightest right or
reason to demand that the creditor shall be
satisfied With a less amount in payment if
wheat or cot-ton or somethingelse had mean-
while declined in price? If so, would not the
creditor also have the right to demand that
the debtor should pay more in proportion if
wheat or cotton or Something else meanwhile
had risen in price? If neither of them had
thought of proposing or of accepting so adven-
turous a contract, how can such claims he jus-
tified if based upon a mere secret mental res-
ervation or an arbitrary afterthought? Is it
not monstrous that such an assumption should
be taken as a‘ warrant for the reduction at
one swoop of all debts by a debaseincut of the
standard of value? ,
And yet he who has watched the free coin-
age agitation knows that just this appeal to
debtors is one of its main allurements. Listen
to their speeches, feed their literature, and you
meet ever recurring—now in soft spoken cir-
cumlocution, now in sly suggestion, now in
the language of brazen cynicism—the promise
that free coinage will enable the debtor to get
rid of his obligations by paying only a part of
them. It is a scheme of wanton repudiation
ot‘ priVate as well as public debts, not as if we
could not pay in full, but because We would
prefer not to pay in full—the practice resorted
to by the fraudulent bankrupt—and this sanc-
tioned by law, as a part of our national policy.
The Coming Verdict.
Follow citizens, think this out. It is a. grave
mutter—a matter of vital import to the exist-
ence of this nation. The father who teaches
such moral principles to his children educates
them for fraud, dishonor and the penitentiary.
The public men who teach such moral princi‘
ples to the people educate the people for the
contempt and abhorrence of mankind. The
nation that accepts such moral principles can‘
not live. It will rot to death in the_loathsome
stew of its own corruption. If the nation ac-
cepting such moral principles be this republic,
it will deal a blow to the credit of democratic
institutions from which the cause of free gov-
ernment will not recover for centuries.
. But, thank God, the American people will
never accept such moral principles. The
American people will. before election day ar-
rives, have fully discovered what all this
means. They will indignantly repeal the un-
speakable insult ofi'ered to them by the poli-
ticians Who have dared to ask for the votes
of honest men upon the ofler of such a bait.
They will know howr to resent the deep dis~
grace inflicted upon the nation in the eyes of
the whole world by those Americans who ex-
hibited their own belief that the American
people were capable of taking such a bait.
Mr. Bryan has a taste for Scriptural illus-
tration. He will remember how Christ was
taken up on ahigh mountain and promised all
the glories of the world if he would fall down
and worship the devil. He will also remember
what Lhi-ist answered. So the tempter now
takes the American people up’the mountain
and says, “I wiil'take from you half of your
debts if you will worship me.” But then
brave old Uncle Sam rises up in all his dig-
nit-y, manly pride, and honest wrath. and
speaks in thunder tones: “Get thee behind
me, Sat-uni For it is written that thou shalt
worship only the God of truth, honor and
righteousness, and . him alone shalt thou
serve.” .
This will be the. voice of the American peo-
ple on the 8d of November. And the stars and
stripes will continue to wave undefiled, honor-
iblcannd honored among the banners of man-
‘in . , ‘ fi
No’. l75—PRlCE, TEN CENTS.
