every indication of being as memor
able an occasion as has ever arisen in
the political history or Connecticut.

"P0P0CRATS"'ALL ANARCHISTS
Nobody But Bank and Corporation
Politicians Honest.
Wallace MeCamnwnt, a young rail
road attorney from Portland, spoko
In the opera house last evening to COO
people who had ussemblcd to listen to
a gold standard argument. His ad
dress wasdellvcred In a quiet, thought
ful manner and generously applauded
at intervals. Ills figures were correct
and very carefully used. All false Im
pressions conveyed to the audience
arose, not from the figures given or
statements made, but from the
omission of figures and a careful
abridgement of statements. He un
kindly shook the red Hag of anarchy
In tho face of all popocrats and waved
the stars and stripes over only those
who will vote for the gold standard.
In noticing the amount of money
per capita In America at the ndoptlon
of our constitution or recently after
opening our first mint, the young
speaker very carefully omitted to state
the amount and kinds of foreign coins
which circulated among our people.
Also In comparing our circulation In
early times with our circulation at
present he omitted entirely to com
pare our manner of doing business
then and now and failed to call at
tention to tho fact that we need a
much greater volume of circulating
medium now than In those early times
lipfnrfi WC hail ,, lallrou.la nnil jhv
great workshops.
Tho young man hopelessly struggled
for nearly one-half hour to disprove
the fact that the volume of circulat
ing standard money docs regulate tho
prices of commodities. The audience
failed to appreciate Ills effort along
that Hue and seemed to feel iclleved
when he passed to another point.
In order to prove that the decline of
silver as measured in gold, had noth
ing In common with falling prices,
the speaker took his audience away
back to the time when tho ratio be
tween tho two metals was 11 to 1,
then gracefully touched a few points
along down to 1050, atiwhlch time lie
6ald the ratio was 15 to 1; then wlth-ii
triumphal motion of ills hand,
wafted his hearers from 1050,15 to 1 to
1800 31 to 1, leaving tho Impression
that the descent hud been as regular
and rapid for 210 years, as tho dreaded
glaclcrsof the Alps. While his words
lu themselves were not false, they
carried an untruth to the minds of
his hearers, which none but those- In
possession of tho facts.would discern
From 1050 to 1873,223 years of tho 210,
we ilnd the ratio less than 10 to 1,
leaving nearly all the decline to the
last 23 years, during which time the
overproduction of silver wasnothlng
to compare with the overproduction
from 1702 to 1831. Again, Mr. McCain,
munt referred to tho ohango of ratio
u 1831 from 15 to 1 to 10 to 1; but
carefully omitted to tell how the
change was made. It evidently did
not suit his case to state us ho should
that the gold coins wore reduced In
size at that time.
"Tho "popocrats" were accused of
wishing to Inllute the currency und nt
the 6ii mo time advocating the plan
best calculated to contract tho cur
rency. This said the sreuker would
be the result from two causes: First,
all the silver now lu circulation five
hundred and thirty millions, and all
the paper moiioy being now Uazc;l
upon gold, would immediately, under
(rep coinage, contract 17 cents on tho
dollar, and 025,000,000 of gold, would
disappear from circulation, and.
thereby caused a contraction of
our currency itiaje than one-half,
This contraction would' bring
about a panic many ttuo
worm than tho panic of isyq A lack
of confidence would e n run upon
Ue bank which would remit dlnaei.

much and lll sympathies wore with
them but ho deprecated the "popo

people ugalimt the bankers, class
ngulnitclass.wostagalfintoast.country
against city, poor against rich, and
the audience cheered this sentiment.
Tho bankers have every advantage
said tho speaker In case of going to
the sliver standard as all their notes
especially in tho northwest are taken
in gold and their obligations to their
depositors are not so specified, nhl
then said he why do not the bankers
desire this change In standards? Be
cause they fear a run on tho banks.
Somo of his hearers expected hhu to
say that no bankers would tako ad
vantage of such conditions.
The fluent young orator created
much amusement In his attempt to
show how the .popocrats would try to
maintain the party of tho two metals,
while ho with Mexican dollars would
draw American dollars from the mint
and with his American dollars draw
gold dollars from tho treasury until
his wealth would surpass tho Goulds,
tho Vanderbllts or tho Rothschilds.
Tho young man seemed to bo laboring
under tho Impression that tho gov
ernment Is now maLitalntngthe parity
by Intcrchango while Mr. Carlisle
states poslthcly that "silver certi
ficates and silver dollars uro not
redeemable in gold" and that gold
will not bo exchanged for sliver dol
lars or silver certificates.

THE MEXICAN ARGUMENT.
Shown Up in Its True Colors Also Mr.
Chas. T. Manning.
Editor Jouhnal: Whllo tho gold
btiKS arc holding Moxlco up to our
shuddering gazo as a horrlblo ex
ample Of tho results of tho silver
standard, let us. examino her a llttlo
from u common senso standpoint.
Tho goldltcs can not deny that
mcaicu nas- oecn making great pro
gress lu tho last 25 years, but thoy
cite tho degraded condition of the
laborers In that 'country, and tell us
that free'colnago would brlngourown
laboring clusses to tho ifamc level.
Now this Is .tin insult which hardly
any people but Americans would pa
tiently endure. To compaie tho
American people to a lot of degraded
Greasers and Indians, und toll us that
all that keeps us from a like condition
of Ignorant and naked depravity Is
tho fact that our monetary unit Is
twice as valuable as their monetary
unit well, what shall we call that
statement? And yet, Incredible as
It appears, there seems to bo plenty
of suckers to swallow it.
The truth of tho matter is, as every
ono knows, that tho musses lu Mexico
are a lot of lazy, Ignorant and super
stitious savages. To sco tliut silver Is
not responsible for their condition It
Is only necessary to reflect that 25
years ago, when their dollur was moro
valuable than our gold dollar, they
were worso olt than thoy are now.
And It Is pertinent, in this connec
tion, to clto tho condition of tho
masses In such gold standard coun
tries as Italy aud Turkey, where 7
cents a day is good wages, or Egypt
where the laborer Is lucky If he gets
any wages at all. Those countries
uro all on the gold stuudard, aud have
had the advantage uf thousands of
years of civilization, whllo tho most
of Mexico's people have but lately
emerged tiom barbarism.
Tho goltlites tiro fain (o admit that
the Mexican dollar will buy as much
lu Mexico, uf native products, as ever
It would, They are obliged to udmlt
this, you kH, not necessarily because
It is true, but because if they don't
admit It thoy will have t suy that
prices of native products have risen
In Mexico under tiiu silver standard,
and that wouldn't do at all! So they
jcscrve their mendacity for tho state
ment that imported articles cost
twice as much in silver, there, as
they used to, and therefore the Mex
ican laborer, although he receives tho
same number of dollars as'formerly,
can buy only half as much of Imported
goods with them, and so "has hadUls. -. ,
wages cut In two." Now, It la useles!" "
to go Into the question of what a"""
stimulus that would give to native
nmnufacturlngadnstrlcs (it would
bo "way nhcadof a tariff), for the '
statement Is hot true Many pcoplo
swallow It, but thoy have to do so
without stopping to think; for. tho
least thought shows us that, while-'
tho Moxlcan dollar has depreciated "as
compared with gold, the prices
or commodities hayo depreciated
fully as much In nil gold standard
countries; so that tho Mexican
dollar will buy as much today as
over It would, oven right here In the
United States.. The fact that tho
Mexican dollar will not buy as much
In this country today as our own sil
ver dollar will buy only proves what
wo already know, viz.; that our dollar
Is nt par, artificially, with gold, and
gold has doubled In purchasing power
whllo silver has stood still.
Just to Illustrate what might bo
charitably considered tho "careless
ness" of these ncoplo when they turn
themselves loose to boom Mnrkllanna
and tho gold standard, tako tho state
ment of Mr. Olias. T. Manning tho
Nicaragua real cstnto agent and
coffee-land boomer. Tho Orcgoulan
quotes him as saying that, whllo tho
necessaries or II fo are as cheap In
Nicaragua as over thoy woro, all Im
ported goods cost three and four
times ns much ns they used to. Now,
as all prices in gold atnndard coun
tries have fallen as much as silver has
dcnrne.latrrt.. nr mnm It. U bard to
understand why, ir imported goods
wero formerly sold In Nicaragua at a
profit, thoy cannot still bo sold thcro
at n profit for tho snnio or lower sllvo
prices. Jj'or Instance, In this country
a pair of shoes can now bo bought for
less thun half as much In gold as thoy
cost 25 years ago In gold or silver.
Then why cannot a pnlr of shoes
which formerly sold lu Nicaragua for
$5 bo still sold thcro for $5 In silver
which would be worth moro than
$2.50 in gold? And If thcro wero a
country on tho fucoof tho earth whero
such shoes would sell for threo or four
times as much as formerly, or for $15
to $20 In silver, would wo not Hood
that country with shoes as fuat as wo
could Hud ships to carry them, until
wo would bring tho price down to
about what It used to bo or less? The
same prlnclplo holds good of all other
merchandise, and It looks as though
Mr. Chas. T. Manning has been talk
ing through his hat.
Then what touching faith In our
gullibility Is shown when they usk us
to believe that lu Nicaragua or Mex
ico or any other silver standard coun
try Imported goods cost three or lour
times, or twlco as much, us formerly,
or even ono per cent more. Tho thing
Is preposterous on tho face of It.
