It is consoling indeed to think that there was enough argument in my for mer article that even an interpreter of oi the law should reply to it. He says "there is no argument in the abuse which prefaces the article." It wit not meant for argument, it was sim ply a plain statement of facts. after elaborately arraigning ma for what he terms "personal abuse'' he pro ceeds something like this, "whenever you hear a man abusing one for what bv tirms 'changing his principle nin times out of ten the party complaining is a populist wno has himself 'changed" or a Br an democrat who has gone back on time honored real democratic panel pies, or else it is tome irresponsible per- . eon who never paid a dollar tax, bas not enough principle to pay Lis debts and wants the government to give bim some thing for nothing." I infer from tbi tatement,Mr. Editor that they who advo cate the free coinage ol silver are dishon est. The advocates of the gold standard always d'.d call those who advocate free coinage, dishonest. I should like to aik who indulges in abuse more than the advocate of the go'.d standard T Abuse is, and always has been their chief ar gument. Repudiation, socialism, anar chy, etc., are ail gold bug terms. Tne word "populist' is a clincher with them, that is the meanest name, !bey think. that they can call a person, and air, when Mr. Wright attempts to arraign me on the question of abuse, I wish to remind bim of the old but true proverb, that "they who live in giasa house should never throw stones.'' Now then, on what grounds does Mr. Wright base bis argument in attempt ing to vindicate the single gold standard, it ia this; 1st, that the democratic par-! ty prior to I 96 was a gold standard par ty. 2nd, That they who advocate the free and unlimited coinage of silver at hb ratio of 16 to 1 "want something for nothing." 3.-d, That the United State cannot maintain the ratio of 16 to 1. 4th That money must have Intrinsic values, and 5th that the remedy for our preseat financial and industrial ill, is a continu ance of the present gold standard. Now then, in regard to the first state ment. In my former article I stated "that the democratic party was never a gold standard party," and I again make that statement. Let us see, in 1830 the democratic party declared for "honeet money," not the kind of honest money that we bear so much about at the pres ent day, bat bonest money consisting of gold and silver and paper convertab.e into coin on demand.. The platform of 1834 declared : " W believe in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the constitution, and a circulating medium convertable into such money without loss." The platform of 1883 reaffirmed that of 1884 and now we come to the platform of 18 42, Mr. Wright bas quoted from the aides and ends of that platform and fixed it up to suit himself, be has tried to make it read in favor of the single gold standard. Bat Happily there are other who pjrsess a copy of that platform, and they can also read and understand itl "tVe bold to the use ol both gold and silver as the standard money of the couo try, apd to toe coinage of both gulJ and ailver without discriminating again! either metal, or charge for mintage." Mr. Wright bas quoted the balance of it, so it is not necessary for me to do so. I'll admit. Mr. Editor, that, of late years platlorms have been drawn somewhat evasive. They have not been as plain spoken and CjnCise as they should be, but if a ly ooe can see any tinge of the gold lands d in those platform they can see more than I can. The dsmxiatic party in congress understood them to be for free coinage and voted accordingly. Why air, this very same plarform, the platform of 1892, which Mr. Wright says was a gold standard platform denounced the republican par ty for enacting the "Sherman law" which they declared was a "cowardly make shift." What does that mean?. It means tbat the Sherman bill was a makeshift or a scheme to prevent a bill passing for the free coinage of silver. The congress ional elections were then on, and for tear of defeat the republican party did not want to go on record, for or against the free coinage of silver, thin is a fact with in the remembrance of every one. Life is too sl'O't lo waste time ia denying such statements as Mr. Wright make viz; tbat gold is the best money and a gold stacdarrd is t e only way to maintain one doaar as good as every dollar," was a fortnsr democratic principle. Soco statements is the product of the selfish tbs ignorant and the blind, but in tl a . majority of cases tbey are willfol mis representations. In regard to the second statement. In reality who is it that wants "something tor nothing" and who is it tbat always got "something for nothing?" History records tbat it is this very class of men who are today trying to fasten this gold standard upon tbs psopU of the United State. In the darkest hour of this re public, when it seemed the aniou would be rent asunder, we find this handful o' men securing the ensctment of law through which tbey could purchase gov- trnmant hitnili enrlh IIYlmanta .I.- dollar, with depreciated greenbacks worth only 40 cents on the dollar, and which only cost tbsm 40 cents in ex change for gold, and then under the baneful disguiie of an act to sfrcngtbtn the public credit, tbey scured their psy ment in coin at 100 cents on the dollar, thus making a clear profit of 60 cents on tne dollar. , The Gsge currency scheme is another plan by which they expect to get some thing for nothing. The bankers are the only class recorded in history tbat ever wanted something for nothing, and not satisfied with a little, they are an the time wanting more.. This is tne class that Mr. Wright is suppottlng. He has been quoting Jefferson and lacxson to us and perbap it would do him good to see what they said on this question oi getting something lor noimng. Thomas Jefferson, "I believe that bank. Ina institutions aie more dangererous to our liberties than standing armies. Al ready they have raised up a monieu ar istocracy that has set the government at .H.fl.nn. This issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the government and to the people to whom it belongs. Lst the banks exist, but let them bank on treasury notes." Said Andrew Jacksoa. "If congress has the right under the constitution to issue paper mouey, H was given to tnem to be used by themselves, and not to be delegated to individuals or corpora tion." All that bimetalliet ask ia a return to the gold and silver coinage of the con stitution and the issuance of paperioii' ey by the national government. Can thta mean that tbey want "something for nothing?" Ia regard to the next proposition. That the U S government can't main tain the ratio of 16 to 1, that at that ratio the naritv cannot ba maintained.'' Bimetallieta advocate the ratio oi to to 1, because, for ages, that ba been tne average ratio of production, that to adopt any other ratio would neceesitate tue recoiuaoce oi all oar present sliver dollars, which would be to the loss of either debtor or creditor, that the price of silver and the prices of commodities have fallen in almost the same degree and to restore the former level o. prices, to restore the parity beteen money and of us for whom a general rise of prices ha no charms whatever. We like them low and ths lower the better. If tbey all went to half their present figures we should rejoice, because we have nothing to sell and a great many things to buy. for those who have things to sell we do not feel any great concern . " The Bon. W Bourke Cockran In a speech delivered in New York city dur- ing the campaign of 1896 said : " Low price i are a god thing, and I hope to see them go lower." It will then be seen tbat the gold stand ard arises from a selfish motive. It arises with those who deal in money and not commodities, and who care nothing for the laboring and producing classes. Through the appreciation of gold prices have fallen down to the cost of product' ion and in many cases below, to the dis aster of the farming and producing classes. Mr. Wright said that I admit ted gold to ba. unfluctuating. As com pared to itself it is unfluctuating. The Earth appears to recede from a man up in balloon, compared to itself the balloon has remained stationary but in relation to the earth in has ascended. So to with gold, compared to commodities it bas appreciated, and that is the only way to measure its value. It matters n-t, to us. what ia the value of gold as expressed in dollars, but the question is how much of the products of human toil will a doliar boy? For 25 years we bave pursued this policy of a .British gold standard. Us baneful affect I need not recite, and it is scoffing at the intelligence of the American peo ple to tell thttn that iu order to return to prosperous conditions we must contin ue that policy which ba resu'ted so die astrously to tbi country.

VJ m -1 i dollars were always at a parity, aud if France can maintain her. dollars at a' parity at a fixed ratio, the United States ! also ran. Toe oilv way to maintain parity is to make both metal a free legal tender and without discriminating against either metal. 'Parity cannot be maintained hy granting to one metal tbe rights of a full legal tender and restricting or limiting the rights of the other. Thelaweays; "It shall be the policy of the government to maintain the two metals at a parity." What was meant by tbat? It was meant tbat neither metal was to be discrimi nated against in any shape or manner, ft was meant that the two metals shonld walk arm in arm in tbe payment of debts etc; Tbat le tbe only way tbat tbe par.ty can be maintained . Just as tare a you discriminate against one of the rnstals, just so sure will the parity become broken. As to the next proposition, that of 'Intrinsic value." Tbe word "intrineie" mean internal, inherent, opposite to extrinsic. There fore anything that possesses "intrinsic value' must have an internal or inherent value. Does gold poses "intrinsic value?'- The only use in tbe wor'.d by which gold serves man, ia tbat of money. It baa no value within itsefl. taks away the money demand and it would be practi cally worthies. An act of law made it a money metal, the demand for it gave tilt value. Value is created and con trolled by tbe law of supply and demand. Therefore it follows tbat gold has no more intrinsic value than anything else.

Facta settled sre that Judges Hewitt and Burnett and Congressman Tongue ' will be renominated. U n. irvine is i pretty certain to be nominated for dis trict attorney. Mr Hannais in favor of peace at any cost, and hence it is not surprising that tbe president is inclined that way. Well, peace is the proper thing, but tbe United states must not take away one scintilla from its honor. A fool man seventy years of age ls just started from Loudou for Klondike with a wheelbarrow. He will do a good thing for tbe world if be will try to wheel across the Atlantic, drowning himself befoie getting too much notoriety, Louis Golden.a former Portland gamb ler, now of Dawson City, recently lost 30,000 at a single sitting, Sam Bonner tield being the winner. That was con sidered quite sn event in Dawson. Mr. McKinley continues to delay the matter and it will be at leart it edneadsy or Thursday before tbe Presidrnt ha his message ready. II tbe United hutes is going to fight at all it should be at once, before Spain ha time to tet rvady tor the contest Peace, if with honor. There is now a line of rail from As toria to tbe outside world, and the people ol tbat city have occasion to throw their hats and rejoice. The event nirana much for the future of Astorie,but pro- ably not a much as some with big vision bave predicted. "uoot lira the armv" shouts a Span ish paper. This is a very inconsistent cry to be. beard in connection witb a cry lor war, :or war means death lo the bpan ieb army. Even in the Cuban cooteat already neatly 100,000 men have peris lied. Strictlr eBusiness changeable at par witb a ten dollar gold pe noiesseoogreee further pledges tbe revenues of the nation to redeem it in gold or to maintain the gold standard." Lt ns see, at the beginning of tbe civil war tbe nation found itself witb'tut msney. Immediately 160,000,000 ia greenbacks were issued, tbey ware made a full legal tender and were based on e-in. Tbe-e greenbacks floated on a par ill with gold, wherever gold went tbey eot. A'l enhoeq-iant ietue i contained the ''exception clause.'' These iesnes depreciated and at one time it required 12 85 to purchase $1 in gold. Here we have 'wo eHees of greenbacks, both baed on coin, one maintained it parity with gold h other depreciated, why was tbi? Simply beeanse one wa a full legal ten der, tbe other was not. Therefore It 'ollow thai money i a creation of law, rd bas no intrinsic valui whatever. And -now we eorae to tbe last propoei. tion. '-That the cure for our financial ill is a continuation of the gold stand ard." This is a part of asocial science that I con Id never understand, bow con ditions brought about by a certain poli cy could be cured by a continuation of tbat policy. I have been informed by men versed in medical science, tbat, when one poUon is taken into tbe bo man system that thers has to be rn other poison taken to counteract , tne first one, but I bave never yet heard of a person taking a -dose of strychnine by a mistake, aid then taking another dose to kill tbe effects o! tbe first one. There won d be no difference it seems to me. between that, and a continuance of tbe gold standard to cure condition brought about by that policy. Tbe gold standard is a British invention. It was born in F.ngland and there ia where it belongs It has no place on the soil of a free born union. Go!d monometallism means falling prices, falling prices means bard t.mes. It is admitted by the leading gold monometailiata of England, tbat the adoptioo of gold as the sole standard ot ' values Jias been tbe cause of tbe great decline in' prices. But they say there is no evil resulting from the fall in prices, and tbat each a fall beuefits them. Tbe London Economist in 1883 aid : "England being the chief creditor nation of the world, it is fo her interest to Keep tne ya'oe or money ae small as possible in countries from which debts are due. in order to get more of their products in payment of interest due to her jitiz-ni." England has more money invested in this country than any other na'ioo. . ' In 1888 the Q i-en appoiuted a com mission to iavesugate the qiestion of bimetallism, the following is an extract trom its report : "it mus oe remen.. be red, too, tbat this country is largely a creditor country ot debts payable in gold, and any change which entails a rise In commodities generally tost is to say a diminution of - the purchasing power of gold tiould be to our disadvant age " isi "on Mroea ay: "it seems 'ioiOh ibl t . g'-t bir -etalliets fi uuder French (he jeweler.
