THE GOLD-BUG ARGUMENTS
REFUTED.
As we approach tke eve of xfeis
intensely interesting capaiga ire
Wiold. a spectacle never presented
in our political contests siace the
days of the Revolution. The advo
cates of the single monetary system
re looking upon the comaercial
despondencies which their system
1m wrought, and Iwasealy en
deaToring to perpetuate it hy sach
appalling and unwarraatable meth
ods is a systematic coerciag of the
Toters of the country. Heretofore,
m political campaigns,, some ex
frone partisans have soghtlo nn
dnly influence those who were im
mediately under their control, 'bnt
t this time not only has the humble
dy laborer been made to fed that
to receive a continuance of hk al
dy scanty means of a. livelihood,
Upended upon his voting to sastaxa

CorpoMbttf, ihe creatures of

lanae aad money from the public,
seek to hecome the master and are
nsing their combined power to -prevent
men from voting their convic
tions under threats of being pre
vented from having the means of
earning a living. This system of
bulldozing and coercion is a result
of an awfal fear which has seized
the advocates of sound money;
they realise it k wrong in
principle, and can only be main
tained where might makes right,
and that the question of the
day beisg left to the calm, deliber
ate judgment of the American
people, the way would be paved to
the adoption of both gold and silver
not only in the United States but
throughout the world, and the
single standard policy would perish
from the earth. The inconsistency
of McKinley and his supporters be
comes apparent to the most casual
observer. The following is a passage
taken from McKinley's speech on
silver in the Fifty-first Congress:
cfTwo things, Mr. Speaker, have
been made clear by the discussion
during the last two days. The first
one is that it is desirable and neces
sary that the country should have
an increase of its circulating me
difcmVT&dthe settREi that- in' pro
viding for this circulating- medium
the silver product of the United
States should be used and em
ployed. I have listened attentively
now for the third day, and I have
heard gentlemen on both sides of
the House, without exception, re
peatedly declare in favor of these
two propositions:
"Krst. That we need more
money; and,
"Second. That that money should
be obtained by the use of (he silver
product of the United States. It
u true that different methods have
been suggested to reach these ends.
It is trae that on the one hand there
are those who would have unlimited
coinage of silver from every quar
ter of the globe at the present ratio,
and again, ,there are those who
would limit the coinage to the out
put of the United States, and still
others who would increase this coin
age by a purchase of the bullion at
the market value, and there are
those who would strike from this,
or any bill, what is known as the
.bullion-redemption feature, making
the notes redeemable in coin only,
aad there are those who would con
fne their redemption to silver
alone. Bat all agree that we must
have a larger volume of money, and
that the added volume shall be sil
ver or its equivaleat based on sil
ver.

vertantly dropped, and they at once
began by saying silver is dishonest
money it is cheap money. "What
has" changed silver to make it dis
honest in 1896 more than it was in
1890, when Mr. McKinley was so
much in favor of it?
The "sound money" advocate
says to the farmers, you have -been
the most loyal class of citizens in
this republic, and therefore we do
not want free silver for fear that it
would injure you. Scarce has the
farmer got out of hearing when
the same men are loudly telling the
wage-worker, and men earning a
salary, the reason they are against
a double standard is, because the
wage-workers are the bone and
sinew of the nation, and the double
standard will increase the price of
farm products one half, and thus
injure the buyers and consumers
of provisions. They turn to the
money lender and say, subscribe
more to the campaign, for you will
soon find a better market with
higher interest for your money.
Next they turn to the debtor and
borrower of money and say, vote
our way, we are going to make it
easier fr you to get money at
more reasonable rates of interest.
Verily, if consistency is a jewel,
then it would be in vain to search
for it in the sound money camp.
Another favorite argument used
by our olrponents is, ostrich-like,
to point to the decline in the price
of -wool, and "fail Xa sec all round
them, a decline, in a proportionate
manner, of all other staple articles.
Would it be reasonable-to have the
prices of all other articles decline
and have wool remain at its former
price? He who cannot see that
wool had to. necessarily decline
along with all the other common
necessaries of life, has been more
succesful in" raising a crop of it
over his eyes than upon his sheep.
The man who is in debt, should
not be satisfied to listen to the ar
gument that money is going to be
easier at a lower rate of interest;
he should repudiate such rot, and
demand a fair chance to so succeed
in his business as to enable him to
pay off that which he already has
obligated himself to do, without
any additional borrowing or in
creasing his burden.
Reference to the decision of the
Supreme Court by the Chicago
platform, is made the basis of
charging us with being in league
with anarchists, yet there is not a
sentence in the platform to justify
the charge.
The sound money men are ihe
l&w-breakers; for the coercive
measure which they are now em
ploying, violates both the letter and
spirit of our law, and no other
measure could be more effective
to destroy popalar, free .gorera
ment, than it k, if successfully
carried out.
The cry of cheap" money cannot
alarm the student our present
needs; because the total amount of
gold and silver used as money in
jthe world, as givea by statistics, k
only five dollars aBdaiae. cents for
each persoa ia the world. It would
be foolish to fear that the silver
mg aatkms coald part with their
ailw aad send k to thk ceaatry
uader ., free eoiaage law. The

a medium of exebaage as -well

MaVdes tins, rf aay alTC
hkl here, the ewaer of will
invest it here by buying our pro
ducts, which, of course, means
that trade will be all the more in
creased. The charge made that the mine
owndr, by reason of. free coinage,
will'getabig price for his silver,
is made by its opponents, and in
the next breath they declare that
free coinage will not raise the price
of silver. It would be easy to go
on hointing out the ludicrous and
untenable position of the single
standard advocates; but suffice
to say, that when adverse silver
legislation was enacted, the country
wav prosperous and there was no
need of any financial legislation,
and' since then the commercial de
pressions hassteadily and con
stantly harrassed the people.
"Besides all this, any measure
which does not appeal to the people,
but have to be forced upon them
by use of large sums of money
and coercion, is a fit measure to be
rejected; and without such being
done, free institutions are im
potent. J. H. Mubfhy.

'But a little more than one week
remains until one of the most im
portant battles of ballo'fe-will tike
place that ever occurred on Ameri
can soil. The issue is: "Shall
Americans rule America, or shall
we become a dependency of Eu
rope?" The question is sauarely
drawn in the two national plat-
Jqj m to 1 we are strong
l". to
pocy 0f 01
maintain a financial
policy
our own, or wnetner we
must bow to the wishes and dicta
tions of England, Germany or
France.
This year presents a new and
strange alliance of all political
affiliations. Mr. McKinley and the
gold, standard Democrats, like
Cleveland, Carlisle and Palmer, are
all in full accord on the side of
maintaiuing-that the United States
cannot have a monetary system of
its own without the aid and con
sent of foreign countries. Mr.
Bryan and his supporters, many of
whom come out of the Republican
party; agree that we are strong
and independent enough to suc
cessfully maintain a bi-metallic
standard of money, by admitting
silver to free and unlimited coinage
in our mints.
As to a choice between these two
positions, there should be but one
sentiment in the State of Utah.
It is useless to repeat at this time
any reasons why a voter in Utah
should support Bryan and silver.
H he loves his family, hk home
and his country, he will go to the
polls on the day of election and
vote for America and the people,
as against the plutocrats and En
glish money lenders.
There k but two parties in thk
country now, viz., the silver party
and the gold party. The name,
Democracy and Republican, have
lost their old meaning; they
are used now merely forrconven
ience. No man should -stand on
the name thk year, as it does not
mean what it did years ago with
either party. The qaestion of the
hour k, can the United States sur
vive the iavasion of British gold?
If every true man nd woman in
the couatry will do their daty oa
ihe 3rd of November, oac of the
grandest victories will be won aiace
the Declaration of Independence was
signed.
Vote for Bryan aad the whole
ticket he represents, aad the daty
will be aobly discharged. It m
