Journal office.
That 53-ceut silver dollar beats no
money at all is the opinion of two or three
million idle people in this country at the
present time.
President Perry of the republican gold
bug club, introduced the democratic
orator on Saturday evening, “Mr. William
Reynolds, Esq.,” in a neat little speech.
The party must be judged by its friends.
Vanderbilt has given #IOO,OOO to the
Republican campaign fund. What part
hath farmers and other working men
with the Vanderbilts?
The only way to remedy the defect the
goldbugs say they see in the 53-cent dol
lars is to double their number by free
coinage. When things are only worth
half what they ought to be double the
number.
The democratic orator, “Mr. William
Reynolds, Esq.,” of Baltimore, did some
very dangerous balancing on Saturday
evening on the Democratic—Republican
goldbug tight rope. The performer came
near falling several times.
About the time we get our money so
that it will be good in Yurrup it will all
be in Yurrup, says an exchange. And
this is the way the people all over the
country are laughing at the goldbug
lollipop which they are trying to catch
them with.
Two or three million idle laborers are
not afraid of having their wages cut in
two. They have no wages to be cut in
two. They would like to have a chance
to earn some of those 53-cent silver dollars
which are so scarce they are worth as
much as a 200-ceut gold dollar.
Those who are so weak minded as to be
made nervous by the bugaboo raised by
the goldbug papers over silver and Mexico
should not fail to read the article in
another column by the President of
Mexico, to the New York Journal , con
cerning the business and silver money of
that country.
“Mr. William Reynolds, Esq,” at
tempted a very dangerous feat while per
forming on the goldbug tight rope, with
one end attached to McKinley and* Hob
art, the other to Palmer and Buckner, in
bowing to the farmers with a rise in their
wheat by the reiuoueti/.ation of silver,
and on the other side to the laborers witli
the lowering of wages by remonetization
The death struggle of the Bourbor
element which has ruled the democratic
party for 30 years was represented in the
Indianapolis “sound money” democrai
convention which placed the two ole'
part}’ shells, Palmer and Buckner it:
nomination. It is the dissolving view o
the old organization resembling the Bel
and Everett expiring embers of the ole
Whig party, but with less vitality that
the latter.
Why do farmers and other of the pro
ducing class complain bitterly of Trusts
and Monopolies and vote steadily to keep
the old Republican party in power? II
has been the mainstay of Trusts and all
kinds of Monopolies for thirty years. Do
such people expect ever to get rid oi
Trusts and robbing Monopolies by voting
to keep their political party in power?
The Trusts and Monopolies have made
use of the party to accomplish their rob
beries and every farmer in the country
knows it.
In the September Arena Rev. B. W.
Williams discusses the “Evils of Land
Monopoly," and in a short but pith}-
paper shows the baleful results which
flow from monopoly in laud—the gift of
the Creator to His creatures, but which
has been wrenched from them by grasp
ing syndicates and private monopolists.
Mr. Williams points out the extent to
which foreign landlordism prevails in the
United States and gives a long list of the
names of foreign dukes, barons and earls,
and also of American syndicate and
private monopolists who own vast tracks
of land in this country, with the number
of acres held by each, which is very sug
gestive.
Why the People's Party Nominated
W. J. Bryan.
They nominated him because he repre
sented the great fundamental principles
of good government that must be settled
for the people or against the people in
this fight. They nominated him because
he was one of the people; stands for the
people; and will be the people’s President,
if elected. They nominated him because
no better candidate could be selected, and
because millions of men not members of
the People's party were already pledged
to vote for his election. They nominated
him because it seemed to be the surest
and quickest way of restoring this gov
ernment to the landmarks of our fore
fathers, the surest and quickest way of
breaking the shackles of corporate and
foreign domination, and restoring pros
perity to an oppressed and outraged
people.
THE MIDIjAITD J"OTTHIiT_A.L: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1898.
1 The (ioldbug Club Speech.
William Reynolds, Esq., of Baltimore,
addressed the goldbug club of Rising Sun
1 on Saturday evening. Mr. Reynolds is a
member of the rump democratic party or
remnant of the old machine that cleaved
to the Rothschild goldring when the great
body of the party pulled up stakes and
went over to the Populist camp at the
Chicago convention. That Rothschild
remnant nominated at Indianapolis the
two old fossils, Palmer and Buckner.
The mission of this rump democratic party
Mr. Reynolds told his audience, which
was very slim, like the attenuated party
: he professed to belong to, was to defeat
Bryan, and there were two moves which
could be made for that purpose, one was
to vote for McKinley and the other was to
■ vote for the rump ticket in place of voting
for Bryan, neither of which Mr.Reyuolds
was able to present any good and sufficient
reasons for doing, the upshot of which
will be that no Bryan man proposes to do
either such foolish thing.
Mr. Reynolds had noticed from the car
windows that the farms were nicely cul
: tivated, in excellent condition with splen
-1 did crops, and that every indication be
spoke thrift and good times, prosperity,
in fact, among the farmers. Mr. Reyn
olds was unable to see the reverse of the
; farm picture. The appearance of the
f well cultivated farms and good corn indi
-1 cated that farming ought to be a profitable
and fore handed business, but the fact is
that though the farms are in fine condi
: tion the farmers are not, and the farmers
- believe that the cause of this anomaly is
: goldbugism which Mr. Reynolds made a
1 hopeless effort to disprove, and failed, as
: they all do.
When the republicans are driven to the
desperate shifts of employing speakers of
! the rump of the old defunct democratic
5 party to plead their cause, their case has
become desperate. Just look back through
1 the vista of twenty years and review the
. sham battles these two old parties fought
with blank cartridges, and behold the
smoke and noise they made to fool the
honest voters of both parties, then turn
j and take a look at them now falling into
j each other’s arms and calling the moun
tains to fall upon and hide them fiom the
~ wrath of the people they have betrayed.
’ Mr. Reynolds’ effort was a very fair
specimen of the goldbug defense of their
sinking cause. His attempted arguments,
made up of quarter truths and pieced up
2 statistics, were a very fair showing of the
3 hopeless task they have undertaken to
I impose upon the awakened people. The
e farmer must be dumb indeed whom Mr.
s Reynolds did not convince it w-as his in
s terest to vote for the free coinage of silver.
He assured the farmers many times in the
course of his speech that the remonetiza
e tion of silver would raise the price of their
Y products, while he dwelt appealingly,
0 feelingly, imploringly, tearfully upon the
II fact —a goldbug fact only—that the poor
f laborer's wages would not rise only just a
- little, and that he would have to pay sc
4 much more for the necessaries he had to
buy. Mr. Reynolds never mentioned the
fact once that the laborer can find but
t- little work to do, that the greater number
■- of laborers are unwillingly idle half their
h time and vast multitudes idle all the time,
r- or most of the time, so the nice wages in
n these “prosperous” goldbug times gc
ir glimmering. He also forgot to remind
r, the farmers that they are day laborers.
It and that their crops paid their wages
1. And in this connection while Mr. Reyn
olds was reading garbled statistics fron:
n the census reports showing the wealth o
i c the country, he did rrot read the compiler
ie statistics of the Agricultural Department!
of twelve of the best agricultural states o
d the middle-west which show the farmer’:
n wages to be 25 cents per day. Our farm
ers know this from their own experience
]1 Mr. Reynolds told his slim audience o
d the great march this country had made ir
u wealth from 18S0 to 1890, the great bil
lions of increase in wealth which hac
been made in that time, but he forgot tc
tell them who had that wealth in theii
5 " possession. The farmers know they dc
s not have it. They know their farms
P aren’t worth half so much as they used tc
11 be. To be exactly honest with the farm
ers and laborers, whom the gold ring is
” solicitous to gather under his wing as a
’ hen to haver her chickens, that the Van-
derbilts, the Goulds, the Astors, the
Rockefellers, the great "“financiers” had
e all that wealth and a great deal more
1 which the people, in justice, ought to
' have; in short that 31,000 persons owned
three-fifths of the wealth of the nation
and the remainder was unequally divided
. among 70 millions; that there were over
t four thousand millionaires and multi
y millionaires in the country while there
i were not half a dozen twenty-five years
f ago. These and a great many more sim
-1 ilar facts Mr. Reynolds should have told
- the farmers about the wealth of the coun
. try while he was on the subject, and
> which are a part of the statistics he was
i quoting from.
5 He forgot to tell the farmers that during
, the great wave of prosperity from 1880 to
1 1890 that 9,000,000 of mortgages had been
s placed on the farms of the nation, and
r covering the periods of unparalleled pros
- perity while such fabulous billions had
been piling up in the hands of the money
trust, that thirty to forty billions of debt
I had been saddled on the industrial class
of the country to pay, four billions of
which were on the farms in the shape of
- mortgages, and that the share of our little
5 State of Maryland was twelve millions on
* the farms and twelve millions more 011
1 the homes. And these things have all
- come to pass under the goldbug, gold
- basis regime. There are lots and lots of
. such statistics in the census reports and
- other public documents that Mr. Reynolds
1 might have discovered and noted down
I while he was compiling facts for the
I farmers, and which the farmers are anx-
I ious to learn, but Mr. Reynolds was so
lt intent in incorporating the cast off skin of
the old defunct democratic party with the
expiring gold ring republican party that
lf he appears never to have thought of these
d important facts.
>- That 53-cent dollar was an awful load
d for Mr. Reynolds. He made several at
tempts to shoulder it aud carry the little
cuss out but went down under it every
time. First he remonetized silver, inflat
, ed prices and raised the price of every
, thing, which would bring the purchasing
r power of gold down. Secondly there was
] 600 millions of gold in circulation which
t the silver money would drive out of the
1 country and at once contract the currency,
. make money scarcer, cause a great panic,
I bring down the price of everything lower
. than at present. Here is a plain contra
diction. Then he tried a third time to
, get the 53-cent dollar on his shoulder and
, dump the little cuss into hades. He said
, remonetization of silver would send up
t the price of "pig” silver to #1.29 an
, ounce, bullion and coin be the same
5 price, then the 53-cent dollar would dis
j appear and become a hundred cent dollar.
, But that kind of doctrine didn’f look well,
j for the silver and silver dollar being equal
to gold and the gold dollar at a ratio of
, 16 to 1, they would be equal to gold all
, round and gold wouldn’t be scared away
at all. This is self-evidently true but it
r sent Mr. Reynolds’ argument to hades in
stead of the 53-cent dollar, so he hastened
to back out and said the price of silver
would soon fall back to the old mark. He
didn’t assign any reason for this change.
_ Well, he couldn’t. There isn’t any. So
, Mr. Reynolds wrestled with the 53-ceut
. dollar and it got the better of him in every
round, aud finally knocked him out.
* Mr. Reynolds told the audience there
was #600,000,000 gold in circulation. The
very best money statisticians can find only
3 about half that amount. #100,000,000 in
the Treasury, that’s not in “circulation;”
#20,000,000 on the Pacific coast, most of
which is in the banks and not in “circu
lation;” some #150,000,000 in the vaults
B of the New York and other large city
j- banks, and that is all the gold which the
c best statisticians can find aud none of it
s “in circulation.” There is no gold “in
I circulation.” No person sees any. This
story which Mr. Reynolds did not manu-
facture but only repeated, is a blank lie,
aud everybody in the country knows it to
be false, because he can get no gold in
his business transactions. The coin and
silver certificates, the greenbacks and
national bank notes are doing all the
e business of the country, and no one bid
the gold gamblers would ever know it if
r all the gold was taken out of the country.
r Mr. Reynolds gave his audience an
. elaborate chapter on per capita circula
p tion, and read from the cooked and lying
reports of the Secretaries of the Treasury,
0 who are and have been a part and parcel
of the British gold ring, which gave the
per capita circulation at various periods,
#22, #23, #24, etc., w-hich is as false as
anything can be. To account for this
sum all the reserve money held in the
L _ Treasury, and the banks, is counted as
r being in circulation. A thing cannot be
. locked up aud in circulation at the same
e time. That #600,000,000 which no man
ir can account for forms part of this per
a capita sum said to be “in circulation,”
0 also the #7,000,000 postal currency lost
Q and destroyed long ago; also the millions
on millions of greenbacks which haye
been lost in the last thirty-three years;
, r also the national bank notes, the silver
l r certificates, all of which various denotn
„ inatious of paper money have suffered aud
„ are suffering loss by fire and other acci-
Q dents. These are all counted as money
in actual circulation, which a moment’s
s thought will convince any one is a false
s assumption.
Mr. Reynolds had either the brass or
u lack of information to tell those about
him, who knew better, that we had the
, greatest per capita circulation we ever
tg had, and forgot entirely to tell them or
read from the Secretary of the Treasury’s
, report for 1865, which shows that there
were #sl per capita in circulation, when
„ farmers had the best times ever known in
j this country.
Some of the most careful statisticians
j have collected and sifted the government
financial reports aud clearly proven by
0 the official figures that there is less than
j r five dollars per capita in actual circula
tion, and that the amount is being stead
ls ily contracted, with no additions of new
o money added to the volume.
The goldbug club of Rising Sun cannot
j s aid the cause of Bryan and free coinage
aud defeat the cause of McKinley and
goldbugism better than by getting such
speakers as Mr. Marine and Mr. Reynolds
to expose the strength of the former and
weakness of the latter. Bring them on.
0 The gold ring furnishes them free. They
don’t cost the club a cent.

cl Mr. Jacob Tome emphatically
r denies the report circulated by the
- Silverites and Bryan Democrats

s the workingman.” — Whig.
Mr. Tome may not have said so
.1 and of course did not, but being a
. most sensible business man he
1 must necessarily believe it would
s be best for the working men and
for the country banks as well.

PRESIDENT DIAZ’S STATEiTENT
TO THE NEW YORK JOURNAL.
The Executive of the Mexican Repub
lic Tells How That Country
Has Prospered Under the
Silver Standard.
City of Mexico, Sept. 1), 1896.
To W. 11. Hearst,
New York Journal: —I do not
care to discuss the effect of the
silver coinage on the material in
terests of Mexico with a view to
influencing the iesnlt of the coming
national election in the United
States. SJpch course on my part
would be wholly improper, consid
ering the friendly and peaceful re
lations existing between the United
States aud Mexico. The present
' political issue in the former country
is the question of the money stan
dard, and I do not wish to be re
garded as in any wise attempting
to affect the outcome.
I can give facts relative to exist
ing industries and the establish
ment of new ones in Mexico under
our financial system, and each may
draw his own conclusions as to the
causes which have produced such
awakening in commercial and in
dustrial affairs. Ocular demon
stratious of the vast development
may be found by visiting the cotton
and woollen mills in our various
cities. Some are old, others recently
opened. Our paper mills and their
■ output also furnish evidence of our
material prosperity. Until a com
; paratively recent period all the
pulp used in the manufacture of
: paper in this country was imported,
; and the paper only was made in
1 Mexico; now the pulp and every -
i thing that enters into the composi
. tion of the paper is made here.
The departments of the Govern
, ment will furnish the exact data
, and statistics showing the growth
I of domestic manufactures aud
I commerce.
: GROWTH OF MEXICO'S COMMERCIAL
1 INTERESTS.
f While our material interests have
increased steadily and healthfully
1 for the last twenty years, since the
close of the Indian mints and the
> repeal of the Sherman law, so
’ called, in the United States, the
1 growth of Mexico’s commercial and
: industrial interests has been par
’ ticnlarly marked. The consequent
5 appreciation in the price of gold
* and the increase in exchange be
: tween Mexico and the gold stan
5 pard countries at once operated to
: reduce importations and stimulate
; home manufactures.
1 The added price of exchange was
r in effect an addition to the tariff.
The importer added to the original
1 cost the duty and cost of exchange.
5 Our cotton and woollen mills al
- ready in operation were obliged to
; enlarge their capacity and new
r ones were established. The uuiu
‘ her of operatives necessarily had to
1 be greatly increased.

; BANK AND BUSINESS FAILURES
RARE IN MEXICO.
[ Our merchants are conservative
. and careful, and bank and business
failures are happily rare in Mexico
. under any circumstrnces. As to
wages and the condition of laboring
, men, considering the nature of work
and classes of industry, they com
. pare favorably with those in other
. countries.
r The demand for skilled labor has
T grown with the great increase in
> the number of mills and manufac
{ tories. This demand in all branch
. es of labor is strong. The added
. exchange has not impaired the
t value of our dollar as applied to the
, purchase of articles of home manu
, facture. Its buying power is nn
r I changed in this respect, and prices
, for domestic merchandise aud pro
. duce vary only according to the
. supply and the demand.
> Heavy investments of foreign
f capital in Mexican enterprises have
been made since the appreciation
j of gold elsewhere.
There is another point of view.
The foreign debt of the country is
payable in gold. The duties on im
. ported merchandise are collected in
t silver, or on that basis. The high
, rates of exchange, together with the
1 decrease in our customs collections
before alluded to, have caused a
considerable shrinkage in this
source of revenue.
