A CURRENCY ABC. A Common-Sense View of the Situ ation. New York Lumber Trado Journal. Lot us not got raised up with complex matters in this connection with the free silver idea. Let us not befog our brains with argu ment about tho "crima of '73," or bother with tho many theories which tho advocates of free silver are civing us. But let us tnke a common-sonso view oi the situation. Now, to start with. Suppose Bryan was elected and tho free-coinage act had been passed, and that free-coinago was an actual fact. Suppose that tilver could be taken to the mint, and coined into silver dollars, at the r.Uio of 10 to 1. How would that affect us? We haven't got any Eilver coin. A -hcle lot of people who own silver mines havo it, and so they could have it coined into lG-to-1 dollars; but. not hav ing any ourselves, wo could not havo a solitary, sinslo dollar under tho free silver act. Now, suppose, however, that all the silver mine-owners and others who had silver took it all to Washington or Phila delphia, or to some other United Stale mint, and had it coined into 16-to-l dol lars, and Suppose so much had been coined that all the silver in the world was made into 16-to-l dollars, and Suppose that every ono of these dollars were piled in one heap, right on the next block, and Suppose every single one of them was worth lOOcents here and everywhere. What good would they do us unless we had something we could trade by which we could get one? Well, we haye something to trade; everybody has. Some have labor, so much for a dollar. Some have lumber, so much for a dol lar. Some have sugar or potatoes, or hams, or coal or something else, all so much for a dollar. We have advertisinsand subscriptions, so much'for a dollar. When wc wast one of those silver dol lars, we cannot go and take it ; they don't belobg to us ; they belong to the men who took ths silver to the mint to be coined. If we took one, it would bj sSealitg. If we asked for ono for nothinj:, ft would be begging. If the owners gave m one for nothiB, it would be a gift. If we borrowed one, it would cost ns interest, and so Most of ns, to get one, must trade la bor, lumber, sugar, coal, advertising, or something to get it. This is absolutely and henestly so, isn't it? Well, being so, why do we take any chances on the dollar? We can get gold now. It is worth 100 cents on a dollar every where. So we haye tnpposed the stiver to be, bnt Suppose it isn't? What then? What is the cse oi taking a chance un less we can do better? A silver dollar won't be worth more than 103 cents, will it? We are getting that now. Let well enough alone. Some Eay duty compels 3 democrat to back up and vote for a democrat. Yon have Bryan's word that he is no demo crat. Let him dare deny that he said it. Some Eay it is pretty bad now. We might as well take a chance. It can't be worse. What kind of tomfoolery is this? When our baby lay at death's door, did we doanyexperimcnting? We tried everything which could cure, but we did not experiment. Are things bad in a business way? Let us tell you sometbiDg to try. Vote down this crowd of repudidators. Tell the world in trumpet tones io No vember that we want the best money, that we will take no other, and business will revive. Let the capital cut that Bryan an J his followers have scared under cover, an! proipeiity will come. WHAT FOOLS THE ELEVEN ARE. A good joke is told of our papuiijtic friend, Geo. Genger. A goirl many years ago Mr. Genger was one of the twelve jurymen emp3nneled to try a criminal case at Eoseburg. The cause came on for a hearing, The testimony was taken in due form and the judge charged the jury and sent it to the jury room to deliberate on ths case and fetch in a verdict. Tne case was deliberated on and a bal lot taken. Eleven were for conviction and one for acquittal. Mr. Genger was the lone juryman, so another Inllot was taken, resulting as before, Mr. Genger standing firm for acquittal. The jury continued to ballot, and after about oO ballots were had the jury were unani mous for acquittal the eleven jurymen came over to Mr. Genger's side. Upon bo remarkable a result being ar rived at when on the first ballot elevan were for conviction, Mr. Genger was congratulated for hia unwavering per sistency for acquittal, and vras asked why he stood out against euch odds? He replied : I wanted to show what a set of fools the eleven are, and I did it. Mr. Genger has now engaged in show ing np the fools in the political field. Mr. Genger, it is well known, is a zeal ous and uncompromising populist. lie has hung out determined not to yield and has now got eleven political jury men to come over to his side. He has secured the leading democrats of Doug las county to endorse populism, and thus he has shown, not what fools they were, but, what fools they arc. If at first yon don't succeed Tr , try again.
