Thoughts for Sound Money Moses' to Wrestlo With. Editor Jeurnal: support of their claim that the slnglo gold standard gives us tho only "honest" monoy, the jolil fanatics contlntinlly reiterate tho gtutciuent that our gold dollar Is "worth a dollar anywhero In tlio world," wheens free coinage would give a silver dollar worth only CO coats any where In tlio world. Now, of all the driveling? idiocy that was cr promulgated in support of a weak cause, the silliest and most utterly unsupported Is the above al leged proof of the honesty of tho gold dollar and the dishonesty of tho all erdolIar. One element of weakness 'In this claim U that It Is not-truo, a"l another Is that If It wero true It ! would prove nothing. To see that It Is not true, wo havo ' 01ly to consider a few well known J facts. There Is no International toney. The moment our monev. either gold or silver, leaves this wuiurj, n ceases to bo considered wooey, and becomes mere bullion, and It InnL-nj , .im " "" uuierence wuetuer wo certain coin "a dollar" or a 'Wgalopsycal hidalgo,' It Is worth t bullion value In the count to which It goes. Do we say that tho Enllsh pound (sovereign) Is worth iwinii" m this country? Not CM' if It IB fresh frnm tl.n mint 11 1 Worth W.fio. If worn It. la wnrl! 'a. In t'ier words,It Is worth exactly lie lvalue of the gold, which Is It In, warning 2M grains of standard gold wthedollar. Tho factthnt.M.o nf. glorious, and all-wlse, and all. ""Pin Pirate and highway robber, und'. cuts no Hguro whatever. It ".ILI Jt . Till I n n mrwll... v wijr so many grains of gold. com The GAIL BORDEN EAGLE Brand -CONDENSED MIX. Has No Equal Bvwfwtmm same It truo of any other foreign coins, and it makes no difference whether they arc gold, silver, copper, brass, nickel or Iron; for use In this country thoy are worth exactly tho value of the metal at market rates. "Oh lib!" says the goldbug, "then you acknowledge the corn, for gold has a ilxcd and stable value, while all the other metals vary in value." Oh, you poor fool. Hold has a Ilxcd and stable price, as measured In Itself (not a tlxed and stable value), be cause freu coinage gives it an abso lutely unlimited market at just that priceno nunc and no less. But that is outside the question wc wish to discuss now. Tho point Is that tho English sovereign, tlio Japanese gold or silyer yen and tlio Mexican dollar aro all on exactly the samo basis In this country. They are worth their bullion value. And our gold dollar, and our silver dollar unsupported by gold would be on precisely the samo footing In any foreign country. "Takoyour $20 gold plcco to London and get It changed. They will weigh it and give you Its bullion value In dollars? no, in pounds, shillings and pence. Do tho samo with 20 free colnago sliver dollars. Thoy will weigh them and glvo their bullion value In dollars? no, In pounds, shillings and penco, Granting that you would not receive, in pounds, shillings and pence so much In tho latter caso as In Mid former, what docs it prove? The "dollars" cuts no ilguro In tho trans action. Our present gold dollar would bring you, If full weight, about 4 shillings H pence. Supposing that the silver dollar would only bring you half as much, or about 2 shillings and 1 penny, still where does your "worth a dollar" como In? By what law, human, natural or divine are wo com pelled to coin a dollar that shall be worth, in London, 4 shillings and U penco in English money,In order to bo "honest"? Why Is a dollar the bul lion in which Is worth 4 shillings necessarily any more "honest" than a dollar In which the bullion Is worth 2 shillings? If it Is, then let us put in 8 shillings worth and we will bo Just twice as honest as wo arc now. "Why not say that English money is 4.85 times as honest as ours because the English sovereign contains 4.85 times 'as much gold as our dollar? Austria has a silver coin called a crown, worth 24 cents; England has a sliver crown worth 81.21; while Portugal has a gold crown worth $10. 78. Why does not tho world ring with denunciations of tho "dishon esty" of England because her crown is not worth as much lu Portugal as the Portugese cpin of that namp, and of the double-dyed vllllany or Austria because her crown Is not worth as much in tho markets or the world as either the English or Portugese crown? Should England wish to re organize her money system, and coin a now pound with only $2 worth of bullion in It, would it bo any or our business? Who gives the Wall street gold gambler the right to brand ynclo Sam as "dishonest" if ho docs not care to cling to tho 200 cent dolfar, to his own ruin, simply because It Is worth 4shllllngsorGfrancsor4 marks or two silver rubles? The debts due Wall street, arc, by contract, payable In gold, and they will bo paid In gold, as per contract, whether wo nro on a gold or a silver basis. We propose to fulflll our obligations, in letter and In spirit, but we most emphatically do not proposo to be bulldozed; and wo propose to reorganize our money sys tem on a rational basis, undeterred by nny lying and senseless clamor of "dishonesty," It Is not tho "cheap silver dollar" that Wall Btreet fears; It Is the cheap, or non-appreciating, gold dollar. Paste this In your hat. Of course this question of "honesty" Is only ono point In tho controversy, but if tho poor deluded suckers who aro worshipping tho golden calf, and casting themselves beneath tho wheels of tho golden Juggernaut, could only reason out ono point at atlmountll thoy could see tho light, then tho supporters of tho single gold standard would soon dwindle to a body guard of tho Shylocks who alone arc inter ested in its maintalnancc. They call tho silver men lunatics and criminals and Idiots and "anarch ists and socialists and communists" (C. 13. Moores at opera house) and Democrats and Populists and "rllTraff, ragtag, and bobtail" (T. T. Gecr) and other unpleasant names; but tho rank and lllo or tho gold fanatics swollow every day, nioro luibecllo slush, call ing It reason, they prostitute their God given Intelligence (so-called) to tho task of seeing sense In more sensc li'ss twaddle. They shut their eyes on plain facts, and gaze, with mouths nnd pores absorbingly open, on ;nioro distorted pictures, than can bo found In all tho speeches and all the writings of all itho silver cranks who have spoken nnd written slnco the criminal mistake of 1873.

It was noted there wns no expres sion by niiyono ravorablo to yielding to the gold standard clement In any thing. Tho opinion was well summed up lu a remark by Senator Harris. "1 am, Harris said, one or many tlious adds of Domooratsand many hundreds or delegates. I cannot, or course, speak ror them tnyseir. I want no compromise. Wo should either have a declaration for freo coinage of silver on terms or equality with gold at 10 to 1, so no human being can misunder stand It, or wc should havo an equally pronouncement for tho gold standard."
