A MISLEADING STATEMENT. One of the misleading statements made by advocates of abandonment of the existing gold standard and substitution of the silver standard is that it is the purpose of those who favor maintenance of the existing gold standard "to drive silver out of the currency." One of the effects of this i-misleading statement is the question: Under the gold standard will anything but gold be lawful money'? Everything that is in the currency today—gold, silver and paper—will continue to have its present lawful character as money if we continue to maintain the existing gold standard. Not a dollar will be lost of any form of currency. The entire volume of the currency consists of, in round numbers, gold 8012,000,000, silver 8010,000,000, and paper £475,000,000. Every silver dollar is full legal tender for all debts, public and private, unless otherwise stipulated in a contract, and, except for the redemption of gold certificates of the government. But suppose we abandon the gold standard and go to the silver standard. The first consequence will be the loss to us of the entire volume of gold and the shrinkage of the currency to that appalling extent. The second consequence will be that the paper now worth 100 cents to the dollar will become worth only the value of the silver with which it will be redeemable—about 50 cents to the dollar. The third consequence will be that the silver will decline from 100 cents to the dollar, at which our gold now keeps it, to about 50 cents to the dollar. It would be well for all the people thoroughly• to realize this fact—that, if we continue to maintain the existing gold standard, we continue to keep in our country every dollar's worth of money now in it— gold, silver and paper—and that we also continue to keep every dollar of the gold, silver and paper at a valuation of 100 cents to the dollar.
SILVER THEN' AXD NOW. To the Editor of tlio Journal. I assert that by a resolution of Congress passed June 25, 1S71), and for which Mr. McKinley voted, as also did our honored townsman, M. D. White, it was declared that the bonds were payable in silver dollars containing 412J6 grains of standard silver and that said resolution did not mention the world gold. «T. 11. E.
The resolution referred to was in'reduced by Senator Stanley Matthews and passed the Senate, Feb. IS, lt78, and the House .Tune 29, 1S7S, and not 1879. Whether Mr. McKinley and Mr. White voted for the resolution we do not know, but assume that they so voted which they probably did. The Bland bill had just been made a law requiring the purchase of 2,000.000 ounces of silver a month. The bullion value of the silver dollar was 1)4 or 95 cents. One of the strongest arguments raised in Congrets in favor of the Bland bill was that the extended demand thus made for -silver would cause arise in the price, so that the bullion in the silver dollar would be worth as much as the gold dollar, ^it -, seemed reasonable then to suppose that with the increased demand the price would appreciate enough to close the gap of 5 or 0 cents ibetweeu the value of the gold and the silver dollars. Men were in favor of the Bland bill and the Matthews resolution who are utterly opposed to free coinage now, when the silver dollar is worth, as bullion, only about 52 cents. The champions of the Bland bill were the champions of the Matthews resolution and all predicted, and no doubt sincerely believed, that the price of silver would rise. Their predictions, however,were not fulfilled. The production of silver increased, and the price slowly went down year by year. It became clearly evident that free coinage at 10 to 1 wolild mean simply to abandon the gold standard and adopt the silver standard. It is absurd, in the light of experience, to suppose that free coin age would close the gap of is cents between the gold dollar and the silvi* dollar. The conditions have changed entirely, and a man who believed in 1878 that siiver would appreciate certainly cannot believe so now.
"COIN" HAHVKY the other day drew $2,500 in gold from a Chicago bank and stuck it away in a safety deposit vault. The teacher of "Coin's Finan cial School" has no faith in his owi teachings.
DEMONETIZATION.
To the Ediior Crawfordsville Journal. I assert that in 1873 by act of Congress the legal tender qualities of silver was destroyed for all sums over live dollars, and that at the time the silver dollar was demonetized, (in suius of over five dollars) silver bullion was and had been since 1687 worth more in the markets of the world than gold bullion, at the. ratio of 1(5 to 1.
To answer this ad captandum state ment it is necessary to go back and ra view a little of the history of coinage The law of 1S34 made the ratio, which had been 15 to 1 since 1793, 16 002 to 1 by reducing the amount of gold In the gold coin.' A law passed in 1837 to make the fineness of the gold and sil ver coins uniform slightly increased the amount of gold in the coin, and made the ratio 15.088 to 1—approximately 10 to 1—which has been the ratio ever since. It is clear that the purpose of the laws of 1S34-7 was to make gold the standard. This is shown in the debate in Congress aud by the report of Mr. Ingham, Presi dent Jackson's Secretary of the Treasury. The same purpose to make silver a subsidiary coin was shown in the reports of the chairman of the committee which presented the bill to the House, which became the law of 1^53, as this extract from the report clearly shows: "We propost, so far as those coins are concerned, to make silver subservient to the gold coin of the country. We intend to do what the best writers on political economy have approved: what experience, where the experiment has been tried, has demonstrated to be the best, and what the committee believe to be necessary and proper—to make but one standard of currency and to make all others subservient to it. We mean to imake gold the standard coin." Under the law of 1853 the amount of silver in the CDins of denominations below 81 was reduced about 7 per cent, in order to keep these coins in the country. They had the same px-oportionate weight of the silver dollar, and consequently, at the'lG to 1 ratio, they were worth two cents or three cents on the dollar more than the goldicoins. The silver dollars coined before 1S73 under the laws of 1834-7, being worth more as bullion than as coin, had all gone out of the country, as the framers of those acts doubtless knew they would. The silver dollar was not touched in the law of 1S53. because practically there was no silver dollar, there having been up to that date during sixty years but two and a half millions of them coined. Not one person in ten in the country in 1S53 had ever seen an American dollar. Not one person in fifty bad seen one outside of a coin collector's stock of curiosities. Only 8,031,238 of the silver dollar pieces had been coined from the establishment of the mint in 1792 to 1S73, and scarcely any of these from the early years of Jefferson's Presidency had ever got into general circulation. But the "crimes''of silver demonetization were perpetrated in 183-1. and 1853, and not in 1873. Moreover, the "crimes" received the support of all the able men in Congress of both parties, but particularly of the Democratic party: they were perpetrated openly, and they received the country's assent. Gold had been and was dispUic ing silver in all the leading commercial nations of the world. In June, 1*7-1, silver had not fallen below SI 29 an ounce, as at that date Senator Jones, of Nevada, made a speech in the rfenate in which he said that "the sooner we come down to a purely gold standard the better it will be for the country." Later in the year the pr:ce of silver fell, so tfiat the average for the year made the silver in the silver dollar worth !'S cents. Merely dropping the silver dollar from the coinage had no influence on the price of silver.
There was an increased demand fir silver in the years following by the coinage of silver to replace the fractional currency, by the coinage of the trade dollars of which there were thirty-five millions, and by the restoration of the dollar in 187s, of which there have been 430 millions coined. Notwithstanding this increased demand for silver the price has steadily fallen until now it is worth only about 05 cents an ounce. It Bimply shows that the supply has exceeded the demand.
CANDIDATE BP.YAN says tliatgold has appreciated, that under the gold standard the gold dollar has grown in value from 100 cents to 200 cents. Wages are paid in this country in gold or the equivalent. The rate of wages has risen since 1873. If the American workingman receives as many dollars for a day's work now as he did prior to 1873, and these dollars have grown in value from 100 cents to 200 cents, would it not be unwise for him to swap it for a dollar that Mr. Bryan frankly tells him would be worth only half as much?
Tin-: wage earners can distinguish between a true and a false friend. They have tried Wm. McKinley.

A gentleman from Crawfordsville. who was saved from death by a limited admistration of "bicloride of gold" a few years ago, is noxv canvassing the county for unlimited free coinage of silver. It's queer people can't remember their best frienit.
The so called free silver craze in this community died so suddenly that it was thought proper to hold a post mortem examination to ascertain the cause. Such a course was rendered impossible by the fact that the "body" was mainly wind though it is Known that it met with "fowl" play. You know it has been the past record of some fowls to "bite off more than they can chew." The general belief is that the fowl, (Democratic rooster,) died in its effort to swallow the Populist party.

Mr. Whittaker, of New Market, rendered some excellent music, and Van Vancleave sang a solo entitled "The Girl 1 Left Behind Me," tvfter which all departed, wishing Mrs. Branch many more happy birthdays.
A WOMAN'S ST0BY.
It Should Be of Interest to Every Thlnfe. ing Woman. Women who reason well know that no male physician can understanding^ treat the complaint known as "female diseases," for no man ever experienced them.
This, Lydia E. Pinkham taught them twenty years ago, when she discovered in her Vegetable Compound the only successful cure for all those ailments pecu" liar to the sex. Many women have a fatal faith in their physician, and not till they enn suffer no longer, will they think and act for themselves.
The following testimony is straight to tho point, and represents the experience of hundreds of thousands of now grateful women: For six years I was a great sufferer from those internal weaknesses so prevalent among our sex. After having received treatment from four physicians of our city, and finding no relief whatever, I concluded to try Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has proved a boon to me. It can truly be called a Saviour of Women."—MRS. B. A. PEBHAM, Waynesboro, Pa.
