IT CANNOT BE DONE.
: The advocates of free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1 are making a great
cry, bat they have not counted noses
yet. We remember that epidemic that
swept over the country under the name
of the Greenback party: It wbb similar
in many respects to the present Silver
party, and yet in some respects it bad
more merit. We did not believe at the
time that money in the shape of the
government's promise to pay was a good
money for ultimate redemption. We
could not understand why the govern
merit's promise to pay should be good
money to redeem the government's
other promise to pay, for the simple
reason that if one was good the other
was. The epidemic ran its course and
died out. And yet, as we have said, it
bad some features that were at least as
plausible as any argument advanced by
"Coin." Coin thinks that by legisla
tion the value of silver may be doubled,
and that when doubled the money can
be need as a money of ultimate redemp
tion. The greenback theory was more
honest. It purposed paying the debt it
owed, with a money at least as valuable
as that which it redeemed. It had be
hind it, too, the idea that the govern
ment would take the greenbacks in pay
ment of customs, internal revenues
and income taxi As the government
would thus take in payment one-third
of its total volume of money every year
there was a practical redemption of all
tbe greenbacks in existence every three
years, and at their face value in gold,
too. '
Will this happen Tjitb silver money?
If congress can pass a law to double tbe
value of silver as compared to gold, then
it can pass a law to reduce the value of
gold one half. Practically the free coin
age of silver would do this. Who doubts
what the result will be if such a law
be passed? Who doubts what there-
suit would be if congress Bhould declare
that a twenty-dollar gold piece would
only be taken in payment df cus
toma and internal taxes as equal to ten
silver dollars? There could be but one
result the man with the twenty-dollar
gold piece would not use it to pay his
debts with ; nor would any of it find its
way into the government coffers. It
would go to Europe, where it would buv
$40 worth of silver bullion, or at least
be exchanged for a like number of silver
coins of the value of a dollar. The day
after such a law passed there would not
be a twenty-dollar piece in circnlation
in the United States. Yet this is what
. the alleged "friends of silver" propose
to do. ' They purpose making ten dol
lars worth of silver worth twenty dol
s lars in gold, and by the converse of the
proposition twenty dollars worth of
gold worth only ten dollars in silver.
The scheme will not work.
The craze is on, and if it were voted
upon now we believe it would win hands
down. If it does it will create a period
of distress never before equalled in this
country ; a period that will only end
when the people, convinced of their
error, have congress convened to undo
the evil legislation.
WE LID NOT WANT IT.
It is reported that English investors
are beginning to buy American securi
ties again, through J. P. lorgan & Co.,
of the bond-buying syndicate. English
capitalists must buy something or go
without, the interest they love so well,
and they have probably discovered the
fact that there is a much smaller loss
upon investments in tbe United States
than in any other part of the world.
When American corporations began to
go into receivers' hands, after the de
structive crash in Argentina and Aus
. tralia, the English investors looked for
the same results here, and hastened to
sell. Since then they have sunk enor
mous sums in Africa, where they took
tbeir money next, and now they dis
cover that the- American securities they
cent home are beginning to be worth
more than they sold them for. . Natur
'ally they are inclined to reinvest. If
we had sense enough to put our finances
on a sound basis, we could get plenty of
money from Europe. Oregonian. -
We do not want any money from En
rope in the shape of investments or
loans. We want mbney enough of our
own, and if our industries will not thrive
without it, let them wait until they can.
We have always been a debtor nation,
and it is high time it be stopped. This
country now owes, in one way or an-
otner, fo.uou.oou.OW, . the interest on
which, at a conservative estimate, is
$200,000,000 annually. This is' drain
enough, and instead of increasing it, we
ought to decrease it. All the gold and
silver produced in this country would
not pay the interest on our debt. Let
us square up and lift the mortgage.
Whatever differences of opinion there
may De among repuDucans concerning
the silver problem, it can safely be left
to the national convention to settle. In
the counsels of its wise leader., who
have solved more difficult problems, this
one will find its solution. The republi
can party can rest confident in the abil
ity of its leaders to guide the party
safely through the intricate channels in
spite of false beacons and deluding sig
nals set up to betray it to its death. We
do not pretend to say what action will
be taken, but we have an abiding faith
in the leaders of the party in convention
assembled to bit upon the right course.
The issue is made, not between the par
ties, but between the factions of the
parties. Grant wisely said that "the
democracy could be depended upon to
do tbe wrong thing at the right time,"
and we believe the republican party can
also be depended on to do the right
thing at the right time.
