SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY CHARMAN & CO. estod in opposing interference by law. There has never yet been made a law to pnt into any laboring man's pocket a single dollar that ha did not earn. He of all men, therefore, baa the best right to insist that there shull be no law passed that will raise the price of what he has to buy, and thus take from him any portion of what he has earned. Hon. John Do Witt Warner in Present "Prob lems." Senator Stewart's Sound Argnmenta. The question never will be settled nntil you determine the Biniple ques tion whether the laboring man is en titled to a gold dollar if he earns it, or whether you are going to cheat him with something elsa Tnat is the upshot of the whole thing. There have been a great many battles fought against gold, and gold has won every time. I do not oare how much yon discuss it or how many resolutions yon pass, they do not make any difference. You must come to the same conclusion that all other people have that gold is recog nized as the universal standard of value. It is the measure that must be used. It is the measure by which your wealth must be tested. It has been and always will be the touchstone of measurement, and when you depart from that and try to figure up any other measure which the world does not recognize you get into confusion. Attempting to reconcile them, it is idle to talk about It is idle to talk about compromising on any other measure of value. Tho world will not accept it We have the experionoe of every nation that has tried it, and it has been tried in almost every civilized nation. Do not let us try to de ceive tho Areeriron peoplo. Do not let ns try to mnko them believe by some hocus pocus of legislation that we can give them something of real value we can give them a measure of value that is better than the universal standard of mankind. Do not deceive them in that regard. Let them know the facts now. I believe thot it wonld be highly injuri ous to this country to again inflate the I need not enlarge upon of a depreciated currency. In the end the This country has felt them too severely for all debt, public and private, and we favor aurh leglalntion a will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind ot letftil tender money by private contract. "His Poptilistio nomination in St. Louis carried with it this plank: "Wo demand auch legislation a will prevent the demonetization of the luwful money of tlie I United Stat by private contract. "Possibly tho United States supreme court will uphold such legislation it sustained the validity of the legal ten der act and what? Mr. Bryan does not tell the people whom he addresses tridaily. When he gets near the sub ject, it is only to say something like this: "When any ono tries to glvo yon an object lesson with a Mexican dollar, te ll him that the IDcxtoon dollar Ih not h .-.il teuder In thin coun try, and thnt our allver dullur la, and under froe oulnnge will continue to be, and no one will be allowed to contract against It. W. i. Bryan In Newark, bept. 23. "This not only show the purposo of the man, but also gives an intelligent man a very clear conception of Mr. Bryan's skill as a logician. If he knew anything at all about commerce tho lifeblood of which ho so glibly talks of interfering with he would know that the execution, of his plan would cause an Instant cessation of commercial ac tivity, which would be followed by a resumption upon a restricted and an tique basis. Methods which tho oom mernial world discarded generations ago would have to bo brought into use for carrying on business uuder the condi tions which the adoption of Mr. Bryan's two absurd propositions would impose. "Where would the hemp come from for next year's binder twine to tie the farmers' wheat? Tho I'uaetl Mules, where silver dollar worth less than 100 cents would be le;:;:l t"ii'l 1 r, en;:H not furnish the material. All price now quoted nro for gold. No mutter how much farmers wanted twine, when it was no longer possible to make a con tract to pay gold or its 'equivalent for hemp, they would have to go without it until some ounibemomo method of bar tering wus devised to get around the law. Of course, in time the hemp would bo scourod and tho farmers supplied, currency, but tho now way of doing business t the evils would be more costly. consumer pay all costs, iiouco tue to require that I should mention them. farmers would have to submit to higher It matters not what kind of a depreoi- prioes for binder twine, as for every thing else they buy. And yet Mr. ated currency you entails many evils. have, it necessarily rhanktglving of that year on the peril rf the day. In It he used this language: "Whenever in any nation there ia rooh an attempt to tamper with stand ard that the moral cenie of man i be adldered and liberty 1 given to onprin- I tipled men at large to cheat, to be un- faithful to obligations, to refuse tba ' payment of honest debts whenever that ; lakes place, it is all the worse if dona with the permission of the law. I hate the devil riding on a law worse than I lo the devil riding without a law under Mm. Whoever tampers with established Wandard tamper with the very m arrow and vitality of public faith. Tba danger into which we are running ia bidden under the inyitery of finance and the currency. All money is but a twpr tentative of property. As now, by facil ity of intercourse, all the world is open market, the need of one and the lame standard of money, uniform, uni versal and unalterable, beoomes imperi ous, "Gold I the world's standard. Gold is the nniverssl measure of value. Other kinds of money there are silver, cop per, paper but they all must conform to gold and be measured by it and be interchangeable with it, in fixed and definite proportion Gold is king i oommerce. All other money must rep resent gold. No vote of legislature can change the nature of commerce, the na ture of property, the nature of it repre sentative in money or the relative supe riority or inferiority of different cur rencies. Gold came to its supremacy as a representative of property by tba lot established consent of mankind. Co gresa cannot change it for the worlt. nor even for this nation, except upon past transactions. It may give impu nity to men to cheat confiding creditors, but it cannot rule the value of currency in all future transactions. "The crime of paying a debt in a cur rency inferior in value to that in whirtk it was contracted, base at all times and anywhere, has a deeper guilt and a baser infamy in our case. When in our mortal struggle capitalists were solicited to lend their money to u on the faith ef the nation, we were too glad, most grateful, for their aid. Then they were not grasping and swollen usurers. Oh, nol They were benefactors. We rejoiced in their bounty and gave thank for their conflling faith in our national honesty. Now, our dangers past, we re vile tbem, dnding no epithets too vio lent, and strive to pay them, not gold for the gold they lent oar misery, but in a dishonest measure of an inferior metal. "In the court of the commercial wolrd's conscience we shall be convict ed of endeavoring to cheat the men who came to our rescue in the dark day. This congress would not have existed nor any government of the United States but for the strength given to our armies by foreign capitalists, and now to return their aid by a base treachery is to deserve an infamy as deep as the lowest depths of hell. But woe to those men, bull headed, without eyes, who are attempting to nndermino the integrity and simplicity of the nation. " want is make An Unworthy Cltlaen. Silverite Orator What we more money. Skeptic Would free coinage more money? S. O. Certainly. It would give us both gold and silver. 8. But wouldn't free coinage at 16 to 1 drive gold out of circulation, in ac cordance with the Grcsham law? S. O. My friend, Mr. Bryan pro poses to repeal any law that is working in the interest of tho goldbugs and Shy locks. S. But the Greshum law is a natu ral law, like the law of gravitation. S. O. My friend, you are a pessimist and don't know that you are a citizen of the grandest country on earth one that can "without the aid or consent of any other nation" repeal even the law of gravitation itself if it should become a tool of Wall street Shame on you I Yon don't belong to this oonntry. A I was saying . Sam Jones Hake It Clear. "Suppose," says the Rev. Sam Jones af Georgia, "the government owned all the gristmills in this country and con gress should enact a law that all corn ahould be ground by the government mills free and that while corn was worth but 18 cents a bushel the govern ment would stamp the socks of meal so that it would bring 60 cents a bushel and do this for nothing. It is a very hard matter to keep meal above the price of corn. " The Declaration of Independence Was written by the man who laid, "Just principles will lead ns to disre gard legal proportions altogether, to inquire into the market price of gold in the several countries with which we shall principally be connected in com merce and to take an average from them." But W. J. Bryan says it is dis graceful to talk about adjusting our currency to the currencies; ot the world. Can free coinage double the price of the farmer's products without increas ing the cost of the workiugman's liv ing? Will not paying the former' debts with half dollars cheat the creditor whose 100 cent dollars were loaned to him?
