Another Scare Exploded.

We are told that the free coinage of silver would soon flood this country with the silver of the whole world, and some people suggest that a tariff should be placed on silver to avoid this. He who suggests that little understands the question. Money is but a tool. No man can afford to go into business unless he believes that what he produces will bring money in the end. and pay for what he produces. What is to be done with this foreign silver if it is coined? Will it be sent abroad again? If so, why bring it here at all? Did that dyer suggest itself to you? If it comes here, the people, who bring it will do so with the belief that they can invest it in our mines and manufactories, and it will go to the la boring people as a tool of trade. It will be a boQu to the men who for the hi t few years have tramped for w« ik and begged for bread.—R. P. Ei.m.i.
