ALL DEBTORS NOT DISHONEST.
Silver Mean That Creditor. Ara to
Lom SO Per Cant.
Is the proposition for "free nilvur at
t6 to 1" expedient and honest?
Stripped of verbiage, the proposition
Is for this government to embark in the
Immediate and unlimited coinage of sil
ver dollars, each dolxar to contain ap
proximately CO cents worth of silver
allien; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
nd parity of gold and silver, and to
eompel by law tho acceptance of the
ew dollars in payment of all debts.
The object is to reduce the value of
the dollar about one-half, and by forc
ing creditors to take this dollar for dohts
to scale all existing "(ligations. The
enly exception will be w here the shrewd
creditor has stipulated for payment in
gold. Such creditor will be paid in fall,
but the unsuspecting man or woman
"Who has merely trusted to the honor of
the nation is to be "done up," :ust in
proportion as the dollar is scaled.
The Populists are solid fo this
scheme. It's in their line of bu ess.
They are opposed to a dollar hav; any
intrinsic value, but if they must have a
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is worth the better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in the
cheme, and the nioru it is studied tho
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men.
The agitators assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in the clamor for
such dollars. I deny that it is the duty
f any man, !ecanse he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, to favor a scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong. -
I am as much in debt as the average
Eansan, but I cannot see why this fact
should blind the conscience or destroy
the ability of a man to reason on such
questions. I believe in bimetallism and
in tho use of the largrst volume of sil
ver as standard money which can be
maintained at a parity with our gold
and paper money, so that all of our dol
lars will be equal for all purposes. But
the Harvey programme is merely a
scheme to scale our standard dollar in
Which all contracts have been made
for the purpose of robbing creditors.
If these agitators simply wanted to
cheapen the dollars for use in future
business transactions, t""y would advo
cate a law making the new dollars legal
tender for future debts only. But that's
not what they want. They insist that
these new cheap dollars must be made
legal tender for all debts.
I am opposed to that because it is dis
honest. If anybody can prove that it is
honest, I will be glad to be for it Bat
he must prove it by some better argu
ment than the threadbare assertion that
John Sherman conspired with the
Rothschilds to rob innocent people 20
years ago, for even if that idiotic state
ment were true it would bo no reason
why yon and I should conspire to rob a
mnch larger number of equally innocent
people today. (.Tnirirt L. l'kniq'nsfi in
