JUST OUT.

Senator Voorhe b has an able paper in the North American Review for November entitled: “A Plea foi Free Silver.”— After reviewing the history of silver as money he asks “By whom, and for what reason, with Bach a record for usefulness and integrity, it has been assailed for destruction?" He continues: The charge that it is, or ever has been, dishonest money ca comeonlyfrom dishonest sources The statement that the legal tend.tr silver dollar ever cheated the laborer is simply a self-evidentfalsehood. Those who speak of it as a debased curreno.v only debase themselves by first slandering what their selfish interests and knavish avarice impels them to destroy, Even now, after eighteen years of assault and defamation, crippled and discredited as silver money has been by the legislation of 1873, the world bears witness every day that its purchasing power is as great as that of gold and that it will purch >se the gold itself, dollar for dollar, whenever such a transaction is desirable. It may be stated, therefore, without the slightest fear of contradiction that the attack upon silver money in this and other countries is based upon no demerit or unsoundness on its part, but is simply a movement for the contraction of the currency to the extent of more than onehalf the precious metals now in existence. This movement is made by the moneyed classes who wish to increase the purchasing and interest-gathering power of money in their own hands by making it soarce in the hands of others; by people with large incomes growing out of monopolies protected by unjust legislation; by tliose who enjoy annuities, interest on publio securities, fixed salaries under great corporations and by the oreditor classes in general, inoluding all the enor mous loan associations, who join in the movement of silver destruction and financial oon>raotion in order to enhance twr - fold, and more, the value and tbe power of the money they wring from the hands of the laboring people. There is a power in this movement of financial oontraction, if successful, which will result in the practical enslavement of those who are in debt and who toil for a living. The power of money to govern countries and to e:. slave peopfe is always to be found where money is concentrated in the hands of the privileged few, while to the great body of the people, the lal oring multi tndes, is left but a meager, scant, and stinted circulation with which t supply their wants and meet the exactions laid upon them. The polioy of contraction is the policy of organized, unsparing, pitiless avarice, and in its rage to diminish the amount of money in the hands of the people, one branch of tbe curreney is no more secure from assault than another. The establishment of a plutocracy, which is defined as the “paramount influence of we >lth, the rule or supremaoy of the rich,” is the sole aim and end in view, and neither is the best secured, best debt-paying legal tender, par-ci calating paper mondy in the world, nor gold itself, if found to stand in the way of contraction, any safer than silver f om attack by the onemies of a full circulation and good prices for labor and property.
