Editok I'laisdealek: Perhaps you
will find space for a few words in reply to
Messrs. "Sook Nik" and "New Deal."
I mentioned Blaine's name as having
been an advocate of the free coinage of
silver because in a speech delivered in
the U. S. Senate he spoke as follows :
"I believo gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitution; indeed
the money of the American people an
terior to tho constitution which the great
organic law recognized as quite inde
pendent of its own existence. No power
was conferred cn congress to declare
that cither metal should not be money.
Uongrets has, therefore, in my judg
ment, no power to demonetize gold; no
power lo demonetize either, than to de
monetize both. If, tberefoie, silver has
been demonetized, I am in favor of re
iDonetiz'iDg it. If its coinage has been
prohibited, I am in favor of ordering it
to be resumed."
Does that sound like "Bound money"
or freo coinage? But now listen to John
A. Logan :
"By a trick, and I use that word be
cause it is a proper word in this in
stance, by a trick of legislation in 1S73
the people of this country were deprived
of tho right of paying their debts in sil
ver dollars." And then the lion-
bearted veteran went on to explain how
that "trick" tras accomplUbed. He
called it a tuck. Populists call it a
1 lime. And still further on General
I-ogan raid :
'I know that it is sometimes the case
that the yoice of the people of this coun
try is stifled by legislation, Etifled by
their own representatives. Now, when
the people of this country demand that
the silver dollar that we produc? in our
country 6hall bo restored as it stood up
to 1S73 or 1874, they are not to be allowed
that either. Why? Not becauEu they
do not think it 13 right; not because tbey
do not demand it; not because it is not
right; but because, if I may make such a
remark, a minority, a few men in this
country demand nothing out gold, so
that they may enrich themselves upon
the distress and poverty of the people of
this country."
That sounds rather populistic, don't it,
friend "Nik?" But now let us turn to
the living, foremost among whom i

tary Nebraska Bimetahc League, Lin
coln, Neb., among other things he wrote
aa follows :
I am a profound believer in the ute
of both gold and silver as money. I ad
vocate the restoration of free coinage be
fore any of tbie who are now the self
elected champions cf silver in Nebraska
had ever opened their lips on the sub
ject. At tbe opening cf tho corn palace
in Sioux City four years ago, 1 said :
" 'At tho risk of being tedious I ask
your careful attention to the presentation
cf another grave question, which in my
judgement, is of euch momentous im
portance to the entire west that all cur
people should join in vigorous elTorts to
secure its early and favorable solu
tion.'
We of the west must have cheap
money. ot money intrinsically cheap,
but cheap in interest charges for its uso
We are money borrowers and we
need vast sums with which to hasten
the development of our wonderful resources.
"We have good security to give, and
neither repudiation nor bankruptcy is to
be feared.
But the amount of money iu circula
tion is becoming inadequate for the
daily commercial necessities of the
countrv. It is almost impossible today
for our local banks to accommodate their
regular customers at 10 per cent. They
have not a dollar to loan on the best pa
per to anyone else.
In popular parlance, "money is
scarce,"
Tho country glows eo fast that the
demand increases almost by multiplication.
"An inadequate circulating medium
adds to the relativo yalue of the dollar
and cheapens the relative value of every
thing else.
"Every debtor must work harder or tell
mnrrt nrnnprlv to tiippl ma rhi!7.iimns
Curbing than he otherwise would.
"The borrower is compelled to pay a
higher rato of interest, and, worst of all,
capital is withdrawn from trade, manu
facture and all kinds of enterprise, for
the capitalist will not risk his moucy in
uncertain ventures, when he can safely
loan it where it pays better.
"At such times, too, the millionaire
gamblers on AVall street can so "corner"
all the cash in eight ns to jeopardize the
credit of everybody else.
A stringent money market closes many
a shop door and rob3 thousands of hon
est men of an opportunity to earn their
daily bread. It fostrrd combinations
and trusts, it destroys competition, it
makes tho rich richer and the poor poorer.
"On tho other baud, with plenty of
money iu circulation, tho interest rate
falls, debts can be more easily paid,
credit is restored, trade revives, manu
factuics increase, communities flourish
and labor is in demaud. All this hap
pens without injury lo anyone.
"Money ought to bo so plonty in tho
United States that it can bo borrowed
for any legititualo purpose at 3 or 4 per
cent. The man who has more of it than
he can profitably use ought not to com
plain of either of those ratrs.
"Think what 4 per cent money would
mean to the west! It would build a
manufactory by every waterfall, double
the cultivated acreage of every county,
put new life into every entci prise, aston
ish the census of every city, lower every
transportation rate, add to price of eyery
farm product and kindle the fire of
happiness on every hearthstone.
"When tli3 greenbacker declared that
tho government should provide money
enough to supply every demand for its
use ho was right.
"When he insisted that an irredeem
able paper currency was money and
would answer the same purpose as gold,
he was wrong; and the popular intelli
gence sodu discovered the error.
"But our mountain ranges produce a
metal, which, until a few years ago was
money the wide world over. Silver was
one of the standard coins of the United
States from the birth of independence
until its demonetization crept into the
statutes of congress, either by mistake
or fraud.
"I cssert that the American people.
and especially tho33 of the west, de
mand the free and unlimited coinage of
silver."
This letter was written by Mr. Thurs
ton in July, 1SI'3. You will notice that
he too asserts that silver "as demone
tized by either a mistake or a fraud. I
can give you the volume, part and p3ge
of the Congressional Record to prove
that Blaine, Allison, Voorhees, Beck,
Howe, Garfield, Ilolman, Cannon and
others, all claiming that the bill demon
etizing silver was passed by trickery,
fraud, ora3 Congressman Ilolman said,
"a colossal fiwindle." Yet when popu
lists asjert the same "it i3 all bosh." as
Mr. Tongue expressed himself in hia
courthouse spjech. Now, who was at
the bottom of the conspiracy? Who
benefitted by it?
But "Sook Nik" in claiming that the
present gold standard currency in con
junction with a protective tariff will
raise the wages of laboring.men "so they
can afford to pay the farmer a high price
for the necessaries of life" is treading on
dangerous ground. Because when yon
talk about a high price for the necessaries
of life you are advocating a scheme that,
according to "Sound Money" parlance,
is going to rob savings bank depositors,
life insurance iolicy holders and pen
sioners of oce-half the value of their
dollars by compelling tbem to part
with their dollars for less than they can
buy with them at present. Siys Mc
Kinley, "If under free coinage the dol
lar is worth just as much a? at present,
it will be just as hard to get possession of
it as now. If it is worth only 53 cents,
or any per cent less than 100 per cent
v meaning present valuel then it is a dis
honest dollar designed to cheat some'
bauy. I quote Irom memory. Anu as
your dollar won't buy as much labor or
farm products as the present dollar, it
would not stand gold standard muster,
Higher wages aud farm prctlucts neces
sarily imply cheaper dollars, because a
certaiu number of dollars will then not
buy as much labor and farm products as
at present. Isn't that sound logic'
John Sherman in his Columbus speech
didn't want high-priced necessaries of
life. He said, "That is the best dollar
that will buv the greatest quantity of
fcod and clothing." Now, a great quan
titv of lood and clothing for a dollar
means food aud clothing "dirt cheap,"
and cheap fco.1 and clothing is insepar
ably connected with cheap labor.
Bourk Cochran iu his sound money
speech entitled "In opposition to repa
diation" used this sentence: "There is
no way in which I can be admitted to
share of (.iod's bounty except through a
fall in the prices of the necessaries of
life." That's plain! Up with the dol
lar, down with tho prices, is tho sound
money slogan. Givo us20-cent wheat,
10-ccnt oats, 5-cent potatoes, 3 cent wool,
2 cent hops and 1-cent pork and the
sound money millenitim is at hand
Mr. "Sook Nik, it you really are in
favor of higher prices, you had better
get out of that sound money crowd, be
cause they'll bounce you it ever you ad
vocatc high prices for anything except
the dollar. Their tariff cry is only
sham. Youra for cheaper dollars, dearer
labor and farm products 3nd Watson
and Bryan, M. Lemmeu
BRIEF MENTION.
Demonetization.
Our populist and free silver friends
have a great deal to say about "the
crime of 1S73" which act of that date,
they say, demonetized silver by lestrict
ing the legal tender power of silver to
five dollars in auy one payment. They
never mention the act of 1S53 which
limited the legal lender of subsidiary
silver and reduced the number of grains
in the half-dollar to 192, thus making
the dollar by halves ouly 3S4 grains
whereas the dollar coin hud 412,' grains,
a difference of 41.5 grains. This was
done for the purpose of keeping subsid
iary coins at home. Its bullion value as
an articlo of conuncrco was above its
coinage value and it was m consequence
leaving the country. So congress re
dttced its ratio and made it a legal tender
for live dollars in one payment. This
was tho crime of 1833, but our freo sil
vcritea have no words of eoudouumtiou
of that crime.
