Austin, Tex., Oct. 6, 1S90. One of Die scare-crows used by the advocates of the single gold standard is the false representation that if the policy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver should be adopted it would rut in two tho wages of the laborers and compel them to take 50-cent dollais without an increase of the rate of their 1 "ages; that those receiving salaries would get but one-half the pay they now receive; that those having money on deposit in savings banks would only j receive from the bank in return for their deposits 50-cent dollars, which would be but one-half of what would be due them; that the endowment funds of colleges and universities would be reduced one-half in value, us would all trust fuuds. This frightful statement is repeated day by day by the newspapers, and other advocates of the single gold standard, as a controlling argument to prevent the people from voting for the candidates who represent the ]x)licy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The newspapers and men who are urging this statement know it to be a stupendous falsehood. They make it look us plausible as they can, and ring the changes on it in every posisble form. And by this means have deceived and are misleading thousands of honest i>eople who may not be able to detect the fraud which : 8 being prac ticed on them.. What are the real facts as to this? The gold standard advocates, as the basis of their false statements, compare silver bullion divested of the quality of money, uncoined and not a legal tender, with gold, which is by law coined into money and made a legal tender in payment of public dues and all debts, to the amount stamped on each coin. Is this an honest comparison? Does it speak the truth? Does it not, in effect, assert a thinly disguised, but gross and monstrous, falsehood? Let us see. If congn-ss and the nations should prevent the coinage of gold bullion, as has been done ns to silver bullion, depriving it by law of the quality of money, then j the gold bullion would not be money, no more than silver bullion is now. And the gold bullion would become u commodity ns silver bullion is now, ami would simply bring what it would be worth for use in the arts. The same is true of silver. To make an honest comparison of gold and silver, and to tell the honest truth, we must compare gold coin, invested with the legal tender quality, with silver coin invested with the same quality. Doing that, we find the silver coins in the United States, not silver bullion, worth as much in the purchase of property und in the payment of debts as the coins of gold. And we find that more than $1,000,000,000 of silver coins in circulation in Europe are at par with gold. Why this? Simply because both are coined with the value of the coins fixed by law. Has anyone ever seen a 50-cent dollar in this country? Of course not. And why not? Because our more than 400,000,000 silver dollars, or their representatives, are the coined money of the United States, their value fixed by law, and they are made a legal tender for all debts, lienee, those now coined are as good as gold. No laborer, no person drawing a salary, no depositor in a bank will be paid, nor will any offer be made to pay them, with silver bullion. They maybe paid in coined silver, as they may now be lawfully paid in coined silver; but the dollars in which they could be so paid would be 100-cent dollars, und equal to gold, because they would buy as much property and pay as much of debt as the same number of gold dollars. If it be said that the stamp of the government und the mandate of the law make the coin of greater value than the bullion, the answer may be made that the present value of gold is fixed by law. An act of the British parliament passed in the year 1844, 52 years ago, requires the Bank of England to purchase all the gold presented to it at three pounds, seventeen shillings and nine pence per ounce. That fixes the price all over the world, less the cost of transportation to London. So that its price is not governed by its Intrinsic \alue, Lut by an act of parliament; and this makes it in that sense fiat money. Money is the creature of law. The material of which it is made is not money until made so by law, whether it be gold or silver or paper. The government or the banks issue their notes to circulate as money. These notes have no intrinsic value. Their being money arises from the fact that their issue is authorized by law, the promise to redeem them in coin, and, in some cases, the making of them a legal tender. So that it is the operation of the law which makes money, and not the material of which it Is composed; though gold and silver are recognized as more sf able material out of which

never

before known in this country, and causing tens of thousands of men to be denied employment end their families to suffer for the "ant of the necessaries of life, and causing those who still have work to work on short time, and filling the country with tramps. All this wrong and suffering in order to increase the value of bonds und other credits and money in the hands of the rich while sinking the great mass of the people, the working people, the common people, the real creators of wealth, deeper and deeper into poverty and wretchedness. Will the people allow themselves to be deceived by such a deviee into helping to perpetuate the gold standard policy, and to put themselves Into a condition of financial slavery to the money changers and aristocrats of America and Europe? The man who talks about 50-cent dollarsshowshis ignorance on the subject; or, if he is not ignorant, that he is attempting by falsehood and fraud to deceive others to their grejit injury. You may inquire what influence 1 think the free and unlimited coinage of silver nt the ratio of 1C to 1 will have on the purchasing power of gold and silver money. If such coin*ge.shnll in crease the volume of circulating money the effect will be, to the extent of that increase, to raise the prices of commodities, and in the same proportion to reduce the purchasing power of money. Stated in another way, it will make property dearer and money cheaper in proportion to the amount of the increase of the volume of money. And this is the reason why the plutoctats , i ;o earnestly oppose free coinage. It is their policy and to their interest, to have dear money and cheap property and labor. While it is to the interest and should be the policy of the industrial classes who make the wealth of the country, who have a sufficient supply of money to stimulate enterprise and industry, and make the country prosperous and the people contented and happy. And by restoring silver ns a part of the standard money the demand for gold will be somewhat reduced, and it will, to that extent, be less valunbleascompared withthe property of the country. But the free coinage of silver will cause no serious disturbance to the business of the country. JOHN H. REAGAN.

I'ree Lolnaae Will Enable This Company to Metier Accommodate Its Matrons. The Swiss international loan agency, "ith headquarters at Mount Vernon, lias made many loans in Illinois. Mr. Timothy Gruaz represents the agency and has addressed Uie following letter to his patrons: “To My Many Patrons in Southern Illinois—In answer to the numerous t;iquiries relative to the probable luturo action of this international loan agency l beg to state that I represent several Swiss capitalists, true and steady republicans of the old school, all without any reservation favoring the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the American ratio of sixteen to one ns the shortest road to general prosperity here and abroad, and further, that should the free coinage of silver prevail, I expect to accommodate my clients much better in the future than in the past. Yours for free thought, tree coinage, and above all, free men, “TIMOTHY GRUAZ.” The Intelligence of the World. Senator Teller says “the college professors of Europe are nil on the side of bimetallism; the leading European financiers of Europe—those who have made finance a study—arc on the side of a double standard, and no silver man need Vie afraid that the intelligence of the world is not on his side. “We fought Great Britain once under tlift bimetallic system; we fought a neighboring country under it, and we fought under it the greatest civil war ever waged.” We be ievo that In the restoration of silver to its legitimate nfflee us standurd coin Its bullion value will be so enhanced by the demand created by its free and unlimited coinage that no difficulty will be experienced lu maintaining silver at a parity with other standard money| und so we denounce us false und malicious the statements so frequently made by our opponents that free coinage means a dollar of less value than one hundred cents.— Resolution of tIni New York Democracy.

Senator Brice, of Ohio, has finally announced bis opposition to Bryan. This was quite to be expected, und the wonder is that he has been so slow about it. Cal.

leading agricultural authorities, that there is no over-production in cereals; and, therefore, the fall*of prices cannot be referred to over-production. (4) That every gold monometallist speaker has admitted that bimetallism would raise ihe price of agricultural produce. (3) That no gold monometallist has used the argument, which used to prejudice the position of the bimetallists— namely, that the ivstoration of silver to legal tender is a device of indebted land-owners who wish to pay their creditors in a depreciated currency. The undersigned are convinced that the existing crisis in agriculture can be arrested by an international settlement of the currency question, and they therefore are of the opinion that it is the first duty of the various governments to cooperate without delay, so as to secure a settlement of the currency and exchange trouble.

National Party's Nominee for Governor of Illinois Resigns and Supports Mryan, Altgeld and Free Sliver. Kev. Isaac W. Higgs has resigned the nomination of the national party for governor of Illinois, and has accompanied ids resignation with uu address to his party, from which tho following is taken: “I am also constrained to say that I shall cast my vote and influence in support of the Chicago democratic platform and its candidates, and would be glad to hflvc every nationalist in the state do the same, us I believe that, next to the national jiarty, the democratic party best represents the interests of the great mass of the common people, and that in the future the privileges and the liberties of a free suffrage to the wage earners of the nation will largely depend upon the result of this coming election.” Kev. Mr. Higgs makes a strong arraignment of the great corporations for coercing dependent labor, denounces the political methods of Wall street, ns explained by Henry Clews, and doses w ith a strong appeal to the members of the national party to cast their votes for Bryan and Altgeld and free silver.

The democrats are absolutely confident that Bryan will carry Iowa by 25,000. In 1892 the state gave Harrison 21U,5U3 and Cleveland, Weaver and the prohibition candidate 222,888 votes. The vote is now consolidated on Bryan, and to its majority of 3,385 over Hamson iu 1892 must be added a change of 25,000 free silver nepublican votes. The democrats will not lose 10,000 goldbqg votes, and thus confidently count on a safe majority, and a gain of several congressmen.
