WAR AND FREE COINAGE. War, with its waste of human life ind money, has produced a degree f prosperity which is commented n throughout the country. If giving employment to a hundred thousand idle men as wastemakers produces prosperity in a small decree, how much greater prosjierity would the employment of more than a million of idle laborers as producers of wealth create? We sold 1200,000.000 of bonds and imposed heavy war taxes to get mon

ey to pay men for fighting. How much better it would he to remoneiie -liver as a standard money and give employment to a million or two of idle people, reduce to cultivation our unoccupied lands, start all sorts uf new enterprises, and add billions of dollars annoally to our national wealth. We need more real money to keep the increase in the volume of money on a parity w ith the Lecreaae of trade and population. The free coinage of silver is the true constitutional remedy. issuing bonds to employ soldiers to consume without producing anything as a means of producing pmsperity, is like getting drunk on

creait. I he ehVct of the stimulant

if -hort lived, and the condition of the victim is worse, hut the bills have to be paid. We are expanding our territory, expanding our trade, and increasing our populate m, whdc the supply of real or Standard money is not corresixradingly increased. Hence our splendid crops and our large exportations fail to produce that general prosjierity whi- h we are entitled to enjoy, and would enjoy if we had the double sUndaid of gold and silver. England's policy is one of rapacity and repression, and it will not fit the free people of the United States. England offen us the gold standard, free trade, and territorial conquest. We have accepted the gold standard, and now we are asked to accept the policy of conquest, and after that imperialism, maintained
