ONE BANKER'S OPEN BOAST
Declares That Enough Votes Wiii Bought to Fasten Upon Us the Gold Conspiracy.
Be
M'NUTT'S SCATHING REJOINDER.
lion. O. K. Mi'Nntt in Tcrri Ilauto Standard. We are fallen nu strange times times that are like sure enough to try men's souls before we see the end of the business.
Only the other day a prominent person here—prominent, that is, in what we name the money element—one of the national banker species, openly made boast that the goldocraey propose to buy a sufficiency of votes to turn the silver tide. And we are to understand, too, that the person did not whisper the threat as a tiling too infamous to breathe aloud, but smoke it out as one speaks of purchasing sheep or horned cattle.
To be sure no one supposed this man to have any scruples sufficient to restrain him from doing the wicked thing his threat contemplates. He long since sent his conscience 011 a vacation, and then finding that for any business he has to do iu this world, he had no need for it, continued to extend its leave of absence until at last he does not even know whither the poor thing has journeyed: though we as a preacher of righteousness take this occasion to warn him that he will be confronted by and by, by this castaway, and that it will have it out with him, in a Forum and Presence, the highest in this universe. But now he knows only that he is better off without it.
But one would think that surely'his fears might suffice to suppress any open boast of a scheme EVKUY STI:P IN TIIK CONSUMMATION- OF WHICH INVOLVES TIIK COMMISSION OF A FKLONY.
And yet, such has been the practice of the rich and rascally of all ages. First they impoverish, then seek to corrupt the people.
But a bribe won't last. It serves, when it serves at all, the single occasion only. It must be repeated as often as elections recur, and in the long run must under every possible law, human and Divine, prove a poor and over poorer investment: even were there 110 constable to take into the account, no penitentiary doors creaking within plain hearing of the briber.
Or do these boasting bribers think that if they can but win this fight they will so fasten their scheme upon us there will be 110 help for it.
No help? None,. Messieurs, say you: Then the law of gravitation and other God-fixed'laws are not fixed laws at all, but will yield to pressure exerted from right, plutocratic quarters? Don't you believe it, O11 your iives!
It was a fine, stately and what they called—"noblo" dame of the reign of Louis XV who consoled the tearful friends of a notably wicked courtier lately dead, by the assurance that "God would think twice before damning a gentleman of his quality." It was not 80 years later when Seausculottery was tanning the skins of •'gentlemen" of the very same "quality," tanning their skins and making comfortable, if a bit gruesome, handware of the product.
Oh, y."S, the law of gravitation is still extant in tV-- v,-r rM—IS in fact a FIXED law and to r-t at the rate of 1G feet per iwiri. vh-»-hfr the thing acted u"o" he i-hn 1 oiivot' Sr. Peter's or a bit ot bin 1 lime lr.an the tree 011 your lawn •••f

Rut. Sir Banker, grant you and youi fellow conspirators can buy onougli ol the wretched whom your infernal policies have made so, to balk this mighty movement for restoration and you were powerful enough the other day to coerce a majority of the federal supreme court to overrule the precedents of 10C years and so exempt you and your kind from as righteous a tax as was ever laid by human law—grant you can and will corrupt and bulldoze enough voters t( curry your scheme of iiiniversal spoliation, then what? Are you blind, or only indifferent to the lessons of history! Why, sirs, it will not be five years, at the. gait we are going, until there will be an uphoaval here as from the dopthf of all the hells, and the men who warn
you against your wicked course, and whom you denounce an anarchists for doing so, will be as powerless to stay or control it as you yourselves while yon, Messieurs, will be the first to be tunibleii into the belly of the abyss—blind fools that you are!
CHICAGO TRIBUNE FOR FREE SILVER.
Read These Arguments If They Were Good Then They're Good Now, Besides Making "Mighty
Interesting Reading Matter,"
A GREAT REPUBLICAN AUTHORITY
Tho purchasing power of legal tender silver coin furnishes the only proper test. The values of gold or silver as bullion are not pertinent to the issue, whether the two metals, as le'-al tender, can be maintained.—Chieag#-' Tribune, Jan. !), 1878.
The prime object of rcmonetizing silver is to add to tho solid, substantial, intrinsic money stock of the country. There can't be too much hard money— ready money—in circulation. Such an inflation is stimulating and invigorating. It is at once a sign and prop national and commercial prosperity. The simple remonetization of the silver dollar, with proper provisions for its coinage, will contribute a steady stream to the money resources of the United States.—Chicago Tribune, .Tan 1S78.
The theory that a remonetization of the silver dollar demands that the weight of that dollar bo increased to correspond to the present London bullion value of silver as measured bv "cornered" gold, is simply absurd. It is in plain defiance of the experience of all the rest of the world—even witli our own experience before the silver dollar was demonetized—which teaches that lt)}2 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold is the proper basis for equalizing tho money value of the two metals.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8, 1878.
A correspondent asks us why we give so marked a preference to the sil- er dollar of 371J.| grains of pure silver, and reject the proposed "Christiancy dollar," or the "Blaine dollar," or the trado dollar. We shall not undertake now to repeat or restate all of them. But tho first reason is that the dollar of 371^ grains pure silver has been the monetary standard or unit of value in this country from 1792 until 1878, a period of 81 years. It is the ancient, unchangeable dollar of that country.—Chicago Tribune, Feb. 11, 1878.
In 1873-4, as it was two years and more later discovered, the coinago of this silver dollar was forbidden, nnd silver dollars were demonetized by law. This act. which was dono secretly and stealthily, to the profound ignorance of those who voted for it, and of the president who approved it, had, without the knowledge of the country, removed one of the landmarks of the government and, under cover of darkness, abolished the constitutional dollar, and had arbitrarily, and to the immense injury of the people, added hoavily to every form of indebtedness, public and private.— Chicago Tribune, Feb. 28, 187S.
As the London Times has said, the remonetization of the silver dollar would equalize the values of silver and gold coin: and at tho rato of 10 to 1 tho American silver dollar would soon prove according to past experience, to be comparatively too heavy, and ought to be reduced to the European standard of 15}-£ to 1.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8, 1878.
What is a whole dollar? Who says that apart of a dollar should be a whole dollar, or wants it to be? Four hundrod and twolve and a half grains of silver is a whole dollar, and was so lixed by law in 1792. It never was anything else, under the law. Whether at present that weight of unlegal tender silver is worth "as much as a gold dollar of 25 8-10 grains in London, 110 one cares. Four hundred and twelve and a half grains of silver coined and made legal tender is just as much a dollar as tho gold dollar.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 18, 1878.
If tho government has been paying gold interest, it had that right by original agreement, and it may hereafter pay silver interest by the same right. Tho option is iu the government, and it has never been surrendered and never will be. How often must this be repeated before the goldites will consent to accept the fact? We liavo had enough Shylock talk about "public credit," "good faith," "honor," understandings," "expectations" and "suppopositions." Tho surest way to kill "public credit, good faith and honor," is to smash down the price of property, paralyze business, pauperize labor, bankrupt enterprise and drive tho people into poverty and despair and that is precisely the role the gold yelpers are playing.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 16, 1878.
