”WHAT JACKSON DID.
CRUSHED BANKS IN ORDER TO RE-
STORE GOLD-TO CIRCULATION.
Changed Ratio From Fifteen to Sixteen to
One‘ to Bring Gold Back—Was One ‘Vlio
'srhought That All Mankind Had a Pred-
ilection For.Gold———Silverites \Vho E1110-
gize Jackson Should Read History.
The silver Democrats have been un-
usually profuse this year in eulogies of
Jefferson and Jackson. They have at-
tempted to make it appear to those
with Democratic instincts that it has
been the regular thing for 100 years for
Democratic statesmen to champion sil-
ver and cheap money. Jefferson’s oppo—
sition to cheap money and repudiation
of debts, and his advocacy of a coinage
ratio which should always be kept close
to the natural or market ratio, has been
made clear during the last few months.
The appeals of the silver Democrats
to General Jackson are meeting with
the same fate. In a recent speech
err—Congressman Josiah Patterson of
Tennessee, after calling attention to the
fact that previous to 1876 no American
statesnnan of any party approved of the
absurd doctrine that government can
maintain bimetallism regardless of nat-
ural ratios, spoke at some length upon
Jackson’s posit-ion on money and our-
rency. Here is what he said: '
“Nothing within the range of po-
litical absurdity could equal the spec-
tacle presented by the followers of Bry-
an when they met on the 8th of Janua-
ry to eulogize Jackson, who courageous—
ly restored the gold currency.
“Have these gentlemen ever paused
long enough in their assault on the pros-
perity of the country to inquire why it
was during Jackson’s administration
the ratio was changed from 15 to 16 to
I? If, as they teach the people, we had
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver from the passage of the act of
1.?92 down to the suspension of the coin-
age of the silver dollar in 1873, why
was this change made? Are they igno-
rant, or do they disguise the fact that
after the act of 179:3 gold relatively to
silver was undervalued and went out of
circulation because it was worth a lit-
tle more as bullion than as money? Do
they forget or do they suppress the fact
that gold remained out of circulation
for more than 80 years prior to 1834?
“.Are they uninformed, or do they
conceal the fact that statesmen illustri-
ous in Democratic annals for many
years prior to the administration of
Jacksm advocated the restoration of the
gold currency? Have they never read
history, ‘ordo they withhold the truth,
when they-ignore the fact that the bank
of the United States sclfishly opposed
the restoration because the people would
prefer its bank notes to a currency s0
bulky and inconvenient as silver? It
was Jackson who sa v the necessity for
action, and who struck the blow which
erusloed the bank and brought hard
money to the pockets of the people. It
Was Thomas H. Benton, speaking for
~ the administration of Jackson, who cle-
olared in the senate that the only way
to trash the pov. er of the bank was to
restore gold to circulation. Here was
the necessity and the only reason for
the passage of the act of 1834 establish-
ing the r.tio of 16 to 1.
“2.139 similarity between the, discus-
Slcn'which took place in 1834 and the
discussion '5 hich took place in 1806 is
{strikingmid instructive. Hard money
meme- ads, in supporting the policy of
Janine-”on, advanced the same arguments
which the scurd nzrncy Democrats ad-
vanced in supporting the policy of
Cleveland. If the hard money Dem-
ocrats insisted that the unc‘lervaiuation
ofgold Ly the act of 1702 forced it- out
of circulation, the sound money Dem-
ocrats insisted that the prOpCsitim in
the ‘hicago platin‘n. to overvalue sil-
ver, if carried i:;-?o «foot, would bring
about the 5:21:20 result.
“if the hard money Democrats recog-
nized “that the act of 1702 had no per-
ceptible influence on the commercial
value of either gold or silver, and the
only way to restore gold to circulation
was .to change the ratio, the sound mon-
ey Democrats recognized that the free
unintage. of::silver at the ratio of 16 to 1
when the market ratio was 32 to 1
’would result inevitably in silver mono-
unetallism. If the hard money Dem-
cocrats contended “that all mankind had
apre-dile‘ction for gold,” the sound mon-
ey Democrats contended that a gold
standard was preferable to a silver
stand; rd. 1f the hard money Democrats,
in Urdu to maintain the gold currency
when restored, undervalued silver by
making the coinage ratio 16.to 1 when
the :market ratio was 15.58 to 1, the
sound monéy Democrats resisted the
scheme to overvalue silver so as to
:force the retirement of gold. If the hard
Jnoney Democrats, after the passage of
the act of 1834, pointed with pride and
excitation to the prosperity which fol-
' flowed the restoration of the gold cur-
rency, the sound money Democrats have
never faltered in warning their coun-
flsrymen of the disaster which would fol-
fiow its retirement.
“The truth is the country is indebted
to the hard money Democrats, of Whom
Jackson was the chief, for the gold
:steurdard. I could so on and show how
zthe act of 183-4 had an effect exactly op-
}positc to that of 1792, how under the
superations of the same inflexible ecc-
momic law gold went out of circulation
milder the one and silver under the oth-
‘er, how congress in 18.33, on account of
athe- retirement of silver, was forced to
«coin it as subsidiary money in order to
supply the people with small change,
and how the“ silve’r dollars ceased to
flow from the mints and gold was cOin-
«ed in great quantities. But this is for-
eign to my text.

“My purpose is to show that the ad:
vocates of the Chicago platform have
wright to conjure with the name of
Andrew Jackson. That platform has no
precedent in the history and traditions
of the Democratic party. It promises a
newdispensation in monetary science

NuIEWALK SPEAKS.
And in No Uncertain Tone—People
Mean What They Say.
Quietly, steadily and successfully a
powerful force is exerting itself for the
good of the people.
When it is was announced that the
great medicine, California Catarrh
Cure, which is, without question, the
greatest remedy for catarrha-l trouble
ever compounded, was to be offered to
Norwalk, the number of people who
turned out and admitted themselves
victims of this obstinate and hitherto
incurable disease, was astonishing.
They came in scores,’and unhesitating-
1y announced that they suffered, and
had for years hopelessly suffered, from
hawking. hemming, bad breath, Slime
in- the throat, droppingof offensive
matter into the throat, headaches, gag-
ging, choking, nausea, stulfed feelinO‘,
and increasing deafness. They had
catarrh in every-form, from acute at-
tacks that can be cured in a week, to
the worst cases of chronic catarrh, the
most persistent disease in the world,
that yields to nothing but California
Catarrh Cure.
Already its wonderful cures are be-
ing talked of in N orwalk.
One of the people who got a bottle of
California Cat-arrh Cure at R. H. Plais:
ted’s on that memorable 18th of Decem;
ber, was Mr. D. C. Craft, 11 East ave-
nue, East Norwalk. He had long been
troubled with a very annoying form of
oatarrh; he tried the great medicine,
and we have the result in his own
words. He says; “I find that Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure has relieved me
very much. It keeps my head and
throat much clearer than they have
been for a long time, and the relief is
wonderful. ~Anyone suffering from ca-
tarrh in any form will surely find it an
excellent remedy. It relieves at once,
and I believe the result is permanent.”
California. Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers for 500., three times as much
for one dollar» In case of hay fever
A great work is going on in Norwalk. ‘
California Catarrh Cure gives immedi-
ate relief, and if used in season it W111
entirely prevent the malady.
