Some Fuels of History its lo lis
llenioiic tlzallon.
The Hon. Richard I'. Bland, the
Missouri ex-representative, opened his
Colorado lecture tour in Denver, on
the 11 tli inst. An audience that
filled the spacious Broadway Theater
greeted the silver champion, who was
happily introduced hy Senator Teller,
with long-coutinued applause and
gave the closest attention throughout
his address, the delivery of which
occupied nearly two hours. It was a
notable fact that fully half those in
attendance were women. After ac
knowledging his magnificent recep
tion Mr. Bland said :
" I have chosen for my subject " The
fight of 20 years in Congress for the
tree coinage of silver, and the fight yet
to come. This is the first time I have
ever visited a silver mining State since
this 20-year battle began. I have no
interest whatever in the States pro
ducing the precious metals, and no
sympathy for them beyond the inter
est and sympathy I have in our com
mon country. The losses your silver
producers have sustained on account
of the demonetization of silver are not
to be compared witli the losses of the
farmers of Missouri in the fall of prices
of farms and the products of the soil,
consequent, us we believe, to the de
monetization of silver."
Mr. Bland prefaced his review of the
20 years' battle for silver with an ac
count of the manner in which its de
monetization was accomplished and
gold established as the unit of value
by the act of 1873. He then said:
" While it is evident, from the man
ner in which this revolution in our
monetary system was accomplished,
that it was done iu an indirect and
stealthy manner, yet it was the most
important and far-reaching legislation
on money ever enacted by our govern
ment."
The lecturer then reviewed fully all
the attempts made in Congress to re
monetize silver, after the effects of the
act of 1873 became known. He said
the free-coinage bill of '77, which was
vetoed by President Hayes, was voted
for by Carlisle of Kentucky, now
Secretary of the Treasury; Foster of
Ohio, who was Secretary of the Treas
ury uudcr Mr. Harrison's administra
tion ; McKinley, now Governor of
Ohio; Mills of Texas, and Morrison of
Illinois, now Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. Mr. Bland added :
"The fact that most of these gentle
men, if not all of them, have changed
their views upon this question, should
be attributed to the uncertainty of
human opinion and the action of pub
lic men, for surely the necessity of
silver restoration ie as meritorious and
urgent now as it was then."
Regarding the repeal of the Sher
man silver-purchase law, Mr. Bland
said:
" Impartial history would show that
this result was secured by methods
most reprehensible and deplorable.
The moneyed power of this country
and Europe had sought to bring our
people and their representatives into
complete subjection. » » * The
vast debts throughout the country
were pressed for collection, and
when debtors went to the banks to se- '
cure loans to meet their obligations
they were coolly told that it was not
safe to loan money until the repeal of J
the purchase clause of the Sherman
act. The friends of gold monometal
ism insisted that the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman act |
would restore confidence throughout i
the country, invite an inflow of gold
to our shores and would bring univer
sal prosperity. Just the reverse has i
occurred. We have sold bonds to the
amount of $112,000,000 since the re- i
peal in order to check the flow of gold ;
from our shores, and to maintain the
single gold standard. The gold mono
melalists have given the people an ob
ject-lesson indeed—one that they will
not forget; an object-lesson that has
been the best educator in favor of bi
metalism that could have taken place.
"In all the great battles in Congress
on the silver question, the Southern
people, while enthusiastic for silver,
have had that sympathy and en
thusiasm clouded with the dread of
force bills or federal interference with
their local self-government. Fortu
nately, however, in the great battle
over the force bill in the benate, the
Senators of the West, and especially
of gold and silver mining States, in
their opposition to this measure,
which resulted iu its overthrow and
I defeat, have given assurance to the 1
people of the South that their politi-1
i or." reliance, both for the safety of ,
their home government and their j
prosperity on economic questions, I
point to the West.
" The day has come when war is- !
' sues cannot longer dominate our poli
' tics. The battle of the standards is
the great battle to be fought in this
' country and the world over. This
' vast country of our 44 independent
States and other vaol territory, with
over $70,000,000,000 of wealth, and
with a population of 70,000,000 of
> people, increasing at the rate of more
than 1,000,000 annually, is strong
enough to maintain its own monetary
; system, to open the mints to tlie free
, coinage of gold and silver, and thus
again restore, not only to ourselves,
hut to the world, the old order of
i things, hv which gold and silver circu
lated side by side, aiding and support
ing each other in giving a larger em-
I plovnient and ctlecting tlie exchanges
| of commerce.
"In conclusion, attention should
be called to the fact that heretofore
no President, since 1873, has been a
; friend of silver. The battle is to be
j fought, and the all-important point
to gain, is to secure a President who
will sign a free coinage bill if sent to
him, and will not use the power of
patronage of his office to prevent sueh
a bill coming to pass, but on the cou
i trary, will recommend such legislation.
I If we can once secure such a Presi
dent, the battle is won. To this point
all our euergies in the future must he
directed. It is not my purpose, and
would he out of place in a non-parti
san lecture or speech of this character,
to indicate how that may bo brought
about, further than to express the hope
that every true friend of free coinage
of silver will make a firm resolve, and
stand to it, that he will not support
in any manner a presidential candi
date, no matter how nominated or on
what party platform he stands, unless
that platform and candidate give as
surance of silver restoration."
Jefferson's Polities.
As there is a great deal of talk about
" Jeffersonian Democracy" at this
time it will not be uninteresting to
read a few of the political maxims and
views of that illustrious patriot and
statesman boiled down and presented
in a condensed form. Here they are.
How do you like them?
1. The legal equality of all human
beings.
2. The people tho only source of
power.
3. No hereditary officers, nor order,
or title.
4. No taxation beyond actual pub
lic needs.
5. No national banks or bonds.
6. No costly splendor of adminis
tration.
7. No interference with freedom
of thought or discussion.
8. The civil authority superior to
the military.
9. No favored classes; no monopo
lies.
10. Free and fair elections; uni
versal suil'rage.
11. No public money spent with
out warrant of law.
12. No mysteries in govornment
hidden from the public eye.
13. Representatives bound by the
instructions of their constituents.
14. The constitution of the United
States a special grant of powers limited
and definite.
15. Freedom, sovereignty and in
dependence of the respective States.
IG. Absolute severance of church
and state.
17. The Union a compact —not a
consolidation nor a centralization.
18. Moderate salaries, economy,
and strict accountability.
19. Gold and silver currency—sup
plemented by the treasury notes bot
tomed on taxes.
20. No State banks of issue.
21. No expensive navy or diplo
matic establishment.
22. A progressive or graduated tax
laid upon wealth, the tax to grow in
creasingly heavy as the fortune was
larger.
23. No internal revenue system.
A complete separation of public money
from bank funds.
Roaring Wei In.
Mr. H. Kelley, of Juuiper Flats>
gives the Dalles Chronicle an account
of his two wells which is interesting
to the student of nature. It says:
The wells are each six inches in diam
eter, one G2 feet deep and the other
110. The peculiarity of the wells is
that they are what is known as breath
ing wells, haviDg a current of air llow
ing out of them for a time, and then
being drawn back. The air is of the
uniform temperature of 52 degrees.
Mr. Kelley says that they record the
passiug storms hundreds of miles
away by the velocity of the wind com
ing from them, which at times causes
a regular roar. The big storm at Se
attle last winter was noted by them
with a louder roaring than ever be
fore. Mr. Kelley says the wells are
quiet sometimes for an hour or two,
but generally are in operation. He is
of the opinion that the air in them is
affected by the tides, but his figures
showing that the air sometimes comes
in the same direction for several days,
will not bear out the statement.
FIEKE IS a new way for a girl to get
rid of a late beau who is impervious to
all hints: She gives him a paper and
pencil, with one of her sweetest
smiles, and says: " Now make a row
of eleven ciphers; now make a perpen
dicular mark downward on the right
of tl»e first cipher, upward on the
right of the fourth, downward on the
right of the fifth, upward on the
seventh and eighth, downward on the
tenth. The marks should he half an
inch long." Ask him to read what he
has written. The effect is electrical.

OLYJIPIA, WASHINGTON: ERIIIAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1895.
THE UNIVERSALISTS MEET.
i 'fliry Advoralr Temperance and
Teaee.
The State conference of the Univer
j salist church of Washington, meet at
! Spokane on the 11th inst. I)r. C. P.
! Culver, of Tacoma, was temporary
| chairman.
Theofli -era elected for the next year
i consist of Harris A. Corell, president,
Taeoma; Mrs. lluttie M. Russell, vice
president, Seattle; \V. V. Jobesof Spo
kane, treasurer, and Orla Bacon of
Spokane, secretary. The executive
committee consists of Dr. C. P. Culver
of Taeoma, Mrs. Walter Burleigh of
Seattle and Mrs. Willis of Spokane.
The committee on finance, consist
ing of the Uev. H. Shinn, George
Bacon and Mrs. K. A. Jobes, recom
mended the starting of a fund by the
State conference to be a church exten
sion fund subject to the control of the
executive committe.
A resolution was adopted defining
the position of the Universalis! church
in reference to sister churches; de
claring it not to he the object of the
church to tear down other churches,
hut to co-operate with them in build
ing up the cause of Christ.
A ringing temperance resolution
was adopted which declares in the
strongest terms for total abstinence as
the only attitude for the members of
the church as individuals, and declar
ing for prohibition of the liquor traffic
as the attitude of the church and its
members politically.
A third resolution deprecated the
use of capital punishment and de
clared it to be against the teachings of
Christ in that it was actuated by a
spirit of revenge and tlie old rule of
an " eye for an eye;" further that it
cheapened human life, was demoraliz
ing, and resulted in no good, but only
evil, was likewise adopted.
The Chicago Tribune corrects the
impression that there is less money in
circulation now than in 187; J. Last
December the total circulation was |l,-
720,000,000 against 751,882,000 in
1873. The per capita circulation was
115.04 iu 1873 and 123.82 in December
last. The complaints about the de
crease in the amount of money in the
country refer to money of ultimate
redemption, the money in which all
kinds of currency may lie redeemed.
It is not difficulty to put currency
into circulation. Every man's check
may he used as currency to the ex
tent of his credit. It may pass from
hand to hand in liquidation of obli
gations to theamount of its face. But
money of ultimate redemption is quite
another thing. The whole volume of
currency, including greenbacks, hank
notes and credits based upon hank de
posits, rest upon the gold in the coun
try. It is this real money that has de
creased, not the paper that does the
every-day work of mouey. The com
plaint that the money of ultimate re
demption has been decreased has been
made by no less a person than Presi
dent Cleveland. It has been pointed
out repeatedly that the gold in the
country was an insufficient basis for
the currency issued upon it.
" The scrap book, as I had always
understood it," said a citizen, " meant
a collection of various things, poetry,
recipes, accounts of strange events,
whatever was novel or interesting in
view of the collection of clippings pre
served by the writer of them; but I
have seen lately a scrap book of some
what different character which was
quite novel to me, and certainly great
interest to those whom it concerned.
This was a family scrap book contain
ing whatever liad appeared iu print
about the members of the family, aud
extending back to a time before tbe
war. Sometimes it is a simple death
notice from among the advertisements
but telling its story perfectly to those
who know; or it may bean obituary
notice, rerbaps it is a paragraph
telling of an accident to some member
of the family or the illness of one;
personal clippings from various parts
of the country as the family grew up
and moved away; a sort of family
record that to those concerned in
creased in interest as tbe years went
by."
A Brave Little Woman.
Men snort and rave about the la
dies' big hats in theaters, and there is
caute for it, but the ladies also have a
grievance, which the men are bound
to heed. They object to this going
out business between acts. Recently
at the Grand Opera House at Mun
cile, Ind., Mrs. l)r. Anna Griffin sat
three seats from an aisle. When the
curtain dropped after the first act two
men occupying the next seat arose to
go out. The lady refused to permit
them to pass. The men remained
standing, finally calling the house po
lice, but Manager Wisor stated that
the ladv had paid for the seat, and
could do as she chose about getting
up. When the men sat down the
house fairly shook with 'applause.
The congratulations of the people and
press of the city for Mrs. Griffin's
bravery has resulted in much good.

11 I* Mylcd tlie Isi tern lit ion u 1
American Protective A*»orlutioii
—A Plethora of Words lied in
Setting; forth ItM Olijcctw.
The following is the complete dec
laration of the principles of the new
International American Protective As
sociation, as adopted by the Supreme
Council, at Milwaukee last week :
Declaration of princir'"-! anil
purposes of the International Ameri
can Protective Association:
Recognizing that the political and
moral advancement of nations depends
as much on the general intelligence
and development of mankind and gov
ernments universally as on the moral,
political and physical perfection of
the units composing nationalities, and
also, recognizing that human perfec
tion can only he attained tluough
more complete international, social
and political intercourse than that
which at present obtains, and further
realizing that the progress and devel
opment of constitutional governments
are willfully and selfishly obstructed
by certain organizations claiming uni
versal recognition, and which, through
the completeness of their organiza
tions, exercise a more or less universal
jurisdiction, to the detriment and in
jury as well of constitutional sover
eigns and governments as of the sub
jects and peoples thereof, and believ
ing that the furtherance of human
freedom and pr ogress is most speedily
and best accomplished by the mainte
nance of constituted authority against
abuses of an infringement upon the
rights, privileges and liberties of indi
viduals by constitutional enactments
and lawful protests, this, the first
congress of the International Ameri
can Protective Association, held this
11th day of May, 18'J<">, hereby formu
lates the following declaration of prin
ciples, aims and purposes of incorpo
ration :
I—The voice of the people intelli
gently and justly expresses the su
preme law.
2—The perfection of all law is the
recognition of the right of local self
government.
3—The right of freedom of con
science, free speech, free press, and the
privilege of unrestricted private judg
ment is beyond all question.
4—lu defining and enforcing the
laws and in the definition of its juris
diction and powers, the .State is su-
preme.
s—All institutions of an ecclesiasti
cal character claiming temporal do
minion or tho right to define the ex
tent of their own jurisdiction, arc
inimical to all forms of constitutional
government, aud are a menace to the
perpetuity thereof.
6—The intellectual and moral ad
vancement of the world is best expe
dited by a sound and fraternal union
between all peoples and races whose
civilization is the highest and whose
liberty of conscience is the most per
fect; and the welfare of mankind is
best enhanced and preserved by the
continuance of a lasting peace bc
tweeu all races and people opposed to
the efforts of selfish and soulless
ecclesiastical and 6nancial corpora
tions to disturb the harmony of uni
versal brotherhood by the rude alarms
of barbarous, dehumanizing and en
slaving wars.
Aims and purposes:
I—To establish throughout the
civilized world the principles of the
organization by all proper and lawful
means.
2—To uphold the right of self
government harmoniously with the
best interests of the whole.
3—To secure and maintain the su
premacy of the State as expressed by
the voice of the people.
4—To assist with our moral sup
port all people in their efforts to se
cure and perpetuate the enactment of
legislation based upon the broad prin
ciples of constitutional liberty.
s—To resist by all lawful means all
attempts made by the enemies of
peace and international harmony, of
freedom of speech and conscience, to
precipitate war or engender hostile
feeling between all nations wherein
branches of the organization may be
established.
A feature of the session of the su
preme council was the congratulatory
dispatches received and sent to kindred
organizations off tho proposed organi
zations of all into an international
body. Dispatches were received from
the Orangemen of Michigan and the
Protective Association of Canada.
The supreme council sent a long dis
patch to Dr. Thomas Owens, of l'ark
erill, Canada, congratulating him aud
his followers " upon the struggle they
are waging on the cause of popular
education, and the work being carried
on by them under leadership of the
noble patriot, the Hon. Mr. Green
way," and pledging their cordial aud
lasting support.
SHOEMAKERS recommend to some
persons stockings with white feet. Dyes
when subjected to the moisture of pers
piration, are extracted from the stock
ings and tend to poison sensitive feet.
Stockings are made with uudyed feet
especially for the convenience of those
1 that suffer from such poisoning.
A frank Confession.
There can be no donbt but that if
this country is to be run on the pluto
cratic goldbug system, the line of de
marcation between those who produce
and those who spend will be sharply
drawn. For years the attempt has
been made to establish an aristocracy
of wealth in this country. With this
end in view vast tru-ts and combines
have been organized, in order that
monopoly may keep the producer
down while wealth aggregates in the
hands of the few. To the New York
Sun we are indebted for a frank
avowal of the way this would-be ruling
class views the question. That paper
says:
"The talk so freely indulged in of
the misery of our working people is
hysterical exaggeration. A number
of philanthropic women memorialized
the State Legislature to do something
for the relief of ir>o,ooo working wo
men in this city who, they said, were
earning only 00 cents a day. They
evidently; did not know that in China
and in India, where plain food is as
dear as it is in this country, 10 cents a
day is the regular wages and proves
sullicient for the simple wants of the
bulk of the population."
Yes, banish the poor man's money
and hoard the gold, keep down the
price of labor and what labor produces
and you have the whole system. " Ten
cents a day is sufficient for the simple
wants of the bulk of the people."
Why, the masses would be better off
without any standard of value. Let
every man barter his products for the
products of his neighbor. This would
at least secure a fair deal and wealth
could not accumulate in to the posses
sion of the few.
The trouble is that too many ave
nues to acquire wealth, great wealth
and acquire it rapidly, have been
opened. Legislation has been in that
direction. Trusts are formed with that
object and combinations are made to
that end. The rights of the masses
aud the interests of humanity have
been ignored ; what is termed " pros
perity" applies ouly to the few while
for the many, " ten cents a day is suf
ficient for their simple wants."
" 111 Tares the laud, to h astenlng ilia a prey
Where wealth aceumulatea aud men decay.
The country has been warned
against this condition by its best and
wisest men. Washington, Jefferson
and Lincoln were all apnrehensive of
the great power of wealth and pre
dicted disaster should the day ever
come when there should be a concen
tration of the wealth in tho hands of
a few. But " all the people are not to
he deceived all the time" and they
are not only their danger but are be
ginning to realize their strength.
An Important Decision.
After years of litigation the famous
Mission land case at Vancouver has
finally been passed upon by the United
States Supreme Court. The decision
is in favor of the United States Gov
ernment and against the Catholic
Mission. The following dispatch
dated on the 6th explains it:
In the case of the Catholic llishop
of Nesqually, Wash., vs. John T. Gib
bon and R. T. Yeatman and the Unit
ed States, the decision of the United
States Court for the district of Wash
ington was affirmed to-day by the
Supreme Court. The act of Congress
establishing the Territorial govern
ment of Oregon confirmed title to
laud not exceeding 160 acres, occu
pied as missionary stations among the
Indian tribes to which missionary
stations belonged, lu February, 1887,
the Catholic corporation began suit
for 640 acres adjoining the town of
Vancouver, 4110 acres of which were
occupied by the government as a
military reservation. The United
States Circuit Court entered a decree
in favor of the defendants and dis
missed the bill.
The mission was established in 1838,
when the land was in possession of
the Hudson Bay Company, and in
1850 Col. Loring, of the army, cre
ated by proclamation a military reser
vation four miles square, which was
afterward, by act of Congress, reduced
to 640 acres. The church asserted its
claim, but the Secretary of the In
terior, in 1872, decided it was entitled
to a small tract—less thau half an
acre—upon which the building stood.
Justice Brewer, for the court, said
that the decision of the Secretary wag
conclusive. Referring to the merits
of the controversy, he said the act
creating the Territory only conveyed
the land actually occupied by the mis
sionary societies in their own right.
The real occupant of the land, he said,
was the Hudson Bay Company, and
the mission station was only there on
sufferance.

Staleamau and Scholar.
There is at least one member of the
cabinet who has the courage of his
convictious and is not to be swerved
from his duty to the people, no matter
what his chief and the rest of his oili
cial family may do. Hon. William L.
Wilson, of West Virginia, now Post
master General, in a recent interview
declared himself in the following vigo
rous and not-to-be-misunderstood lan-
guage.
Mr. Wilson said
" I have never wanted to go to a
national convention, but I mean to
make the effort this time, in order
that I may cast a vote for free silver.
Six months ago I was a hesitating
ouble standard man; now I am un
reservedly for the emancipation of tlie
white uietal at lfi to Rand without
any foreign dickering. West Vir
ginia is solid for it. The feeling i 9 not
confined to one party, either. If a
Democrat is nominated on a free-silver
ticket against a Republican gold-bug
they would never get through count
ing the votes. If tlie conditions were
reversed, and a free-silver Republican
pitted against a gold-hug Democrat,
there wouldn't be a grease-pot left of
the Democrat."
The leaven is working and when it
gets into the cabinet and is endorsed
by a statesman of the well known in
tegrity and ability of Wm. L. Wilson
free silver men may well feel rejoiced
and the gold-hugs tremble for the suc
cess of their precious schemes.
SILVER IN IOWA.
Democratic Leaders Issue a fall
for a Conference.
A call for a Statu silver conference in
lies Moines, on Juneli has been issued
by about forty well-known Democrats,
headed by ex-Lieut. Gov. Bestow.
The call for the conference says:
"It can no longer be doubted that a
concerted effort is being made by a
minority, hut a powerful minority,
within both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, to foist on the country
the class doctrine of gold mono-metal
lism, as distinguished from the genuine
bi-metallism contemplated by the con
stitution and advocated by the Demo
cracy since the birth of the party.
This movement is backed primarily by
the money lenders of Europe, and sec
ondarily, the class interests in this
country that have grown lip under
vicious legislation.
" Their forces, comparatively few in
number, but working in perfect
harmony for a central purpose, have
perfected their plans to control the
temporary and permanent organiza
tion of the state convertion to be held
in Marshalltown August 7. If the
plans of the single gold standard forces
are not bravely met and defeated, the
party iu lowa will certainly be en
rolled under the banner of tte foreign
financiers and the Wall street hankers.
Let us face the issue like true Demo
crats and acquit ourselves like men,
giving our adversaries nocause for just
complaint, hut let it be a fight to the
finish. There is no time for shrinking
—no time for silly compromises on
vital issues; the welfare of the party
for years to come is at slake."
Ms Wife Knew the lltprn.
There is no iloulit of it. It is a had
thing for a man to have a wife with
business ability. The case of W. 11.
Allen, of llockford, 111., illustrates that
fact. Mr. Allen's business is traveling
for a wholesale grocery house. The
other day he dislocated his shoulder.
A trip which it was necessary that he
should make was already mapped out.
His wife told him that if he would
mind the baby she would make the
trip for him. He laughed her to
scorn, but she was in earnest, and she
took his sample case and went the
rounds. The result was that, while
he made a rather bad showing as
nurse, she secured ten pages more of
orders than he ever succeeded in doing
in one day in all the years he had
been on the road. The lirm has writ
ten Mr. Allen suggesting that he trade
jobs with his wife permanently.
The Parmer's Object I.esson.
Birniiugham (Ala.) Pally State.
A good, honest farmer was standing
in front of the court house, yesterday,
looking mournfully at his tax receipt.
He said : " I brought a bale of cotton
here five years ago, sold it for $49.50.
With this money I paid my taxes, $22;
got a dress for my wife, $5; shoes for
the children, $6; a barrel of Hour,
$6.50; fifty pounds of sugar, $1; ten
pounds of coffee, $2, and weut home
happy with $3.75 in my pocket for the
preacher. I brought in a bale to day,
sold it for $22.50; paid my taxes,
$22.25, and have a quarter left. They
tell me I can get flour aud frocks and
sugar and shoes for half I paid them,
but it 'pears to me I haint got the
half. I've about made up my mind to
invest this quarter in United States
bonds and howl for the gold stand
ard."
ELECTRICAL KKNO. —Electrician J.
W. lloult has invented a new electrical
kenoganie which will goon he in opera
tion in a prominent sporting game,
lly an ingenious device as each card is
pegged a button is pressed and the
number releases a cover in frame on
the wall which shows the number of
the card, thus preventing all mistakes.
As the balls are called after the game
begins the operator will again touch a
button which will show the number of
the ball in a large frame hanging on
the wall.

STEWART'S SATIRE.
HE ANALYZES CLEVELAND S LET
TER TO GOV. STONE.
He Asks Some I'ertlucnt and Some
Impertinent tlucsllolis, wlrlrli
Will Probably He Passed by
in Silence Hy Hie Advocate of
"Sound .Honey."
Senator Stewart,of Nevada, lias sent
a letter to the President, of whieh the
following is an abstract:
•' Your letter to Gov. Stone, of Mis
sissippi, is admirable. It wholly ex
onerates you from all suspicion of
shirking from your plain, constitu
tional duty of personal participation
in the political controversies which
agitate the people.
" The originality of your discovery
that the South favors silver mono
metalism when it only contends for
the coinage of silver upon terms and
conditions applicable to the coinage of
gold can never he ipiestioncd. You
will undoubtedly explain in your next
letter why the free coinage of gold
and a refusal to coin silver is himctal
istn, and the unrestricted coinage of
both gold and silver in silver mono
metalism.
" Your wonder why the South does
not appreciate the advantages of sell
ing its exports for gold prices is in
harmony with the profound thought
and great wisdom of your Chicago let
ter, wherein, referring to the farmer,
you said: ' I.et us remind him that
he must buy as well as sell; that his
dreams of plenty are shadowed by the
certainty that if the price of the things
he has to sell is nominally enhanced,
the cost of things he must buy will
not remain stationary.'
" From your unselfish point of view
there is no answer to this argument.
The discovery you have made that the
sales and purchases of the farmers
and planters in a cheap gold market
exactly balance each other, and that
what is lost by the low price of sales
is gained by the low price of pur
chases, solves the question and shows
your full comprehension of all the
principles of economic science. The
fact that less than 300,000 pounds of
cotton or 33,000 bushels of wheat
would pay the $50,000 annual salary
President Grant received, while it now
requires 1,000,000 pounds of cotton or
83,000 bushels of wheat to pay your
salary, which is the same number of
dollars as that of your predecessor,
shows the superiority of the "sound
money" you have established and
maintained.
" Your ' wonder' at the imbecility of
the farmers and planters in failing to
appreciate the benefits of a cheap
market for what they sell is most
reasonable and natural from your un
selfish, comprehensive view of the sub
ject. You take into consideration
that a cheap market where they sell
creates a cheap market for what they
buy, and you realize, if they do not,
the advantages they have in selling
more than they buy, and thereby re
lieving themselves of more cheap pro
ducts than they are compelled to
buy.
" They are at liberty to sell enough
more than they buy to obtain money
to pay interest and taxes, which to
them may seem a hardship, but which,
on account of your superior wisdom
and patriotism, you Know to be a
blessing which their dull comprehen
sion fails to appreciate.
" The luxury of buying in a cheap
gold market with mouey remaining
after discharging these nominal obli
gations is not sufficiently prized by
the discontented planters and farmers.
The slight discrepancy between the
amount lost in sales by low prices and
gains by purchases in a cheap market
ought never to be considered and is
properly excluded from the wise and
benevolent councils of Wall and Lom
bard streets, and also from the learned
deliberations of the White House,
where your annual salary of $.">0,000
is promptly paid.
" Your declaration that the gold
standard established by the Republi- J
can party in 1873 is the traditional
doctrine of sound money of the Dem
ocratic party, ought to inspire every
Democratic heart with unbounded
euthusiasm. You are right. There
is not room enough on a gold-standard
platform to accommodate the two old
parties in an active campaign before
the people, although the leaders of
both have jointly occupied that plat
form for the purpose of legislation
and administration for more than 20
years.
" You have achieved the proud dis
tinction of being the first great Amer
ican statesman who prorlaimcd to his
fellow country the glory and benefits
of the single gold standard. You
have the right to eject the Itepublican
party from the platform of sound
money, which you have rescued from
the ignoble obcuritv "f clandestine
use by timid and unwoi.hv Republi
can leaders, who secretly in nop. di/.ed
the benefactions of the gold combina
tion until you appeared as the Moses
of scattered Democracy.
"The hereditary rights of the tie
scendants of Shylock are safe in your
bauds. Your decree of low price anil
less wages for those who produce, ami
more gain and less sacrifice for those
who absorb, will be executed by the
jsiwer you command, while the trim
mers and dodgers of the Republican
fold are confounded and paralyzed by
your boldness and dash."
