THE REPUBLICAN’S SILVER VIEWS

The American people, from tradition and interest, favor bimetallism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money, with such restrictions and under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as unit secure a maintenance a)f the parity off values ■of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power off the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall at all times be equal. The interests of the producers of the country, its farmers and its workingmen, demand that every dolldr, paper or coin, issued by the government, shall be as good as any other. We commend the wise and patriotic steps already taken by our government to secure an international conference to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value between gold and silver for use as money throughout the world.—Republican National Platform, 1892.

Delphi Journal: Listen a minute: The present tariff law cuts down the rate paid by importers bringing goods into the countiy. We thus have increased importations -and decreased revenues. At the same time these imported goods take the place of goods formerly manufactured in this country and thus keep tens of thousands of men in idleness. The man who can’t see that this burns off the American candle at both ends hasn’t sense enough to grease a gimlet and deserves to go hungry-arid barefooted. The Detroit Evening Journal gives the following brief but comprehensive definition of “free coinage,” .-.nd the profit and advantage silver mine owners would derive from its adoption: “Free silver coinage, such as free silverites are demanding, means the" unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1(5 to 1, free of mint charges. If this policy we.e in force today, any owner of silver bullion would take less than SSOO worth of bullion to the government mint, have it coined free of charge into 1,000 silver dollars, the entire profit going to the owners of the bullion. This is what the silver mine owners are fighting for and they have managed to bring to their support a good many people who are not owners of silver mines or of silver bars or even of silver dollars.

COUNTERFEIT COIN.

On the title page of “Coin’s Financial school” a quotation is made from a report of ttte. “United Stats Monetary Commission of 1878” as follows: “The discovery of the new world by Columbus restored the the volume of precious metals, brought with it rising prices, enabled society to reunite its shattered links, shake off the shackles of feudalism and to relight and uplift the almost extinguished torch of civilization?’ In the ifirst place it is falsely attributed to the “Monetary Commission of 1878 beings infect, garbbl from page 50 of the “Report

and Accompanying Documents of the Pnited States MtHietary Commission Organized I’nfler Joint Resolution of Aug. 15, 1876.” In the second place, it is falsely quoted, sentences being left out, while the real quotation is as follows: ’ “It needed the heroic of rising prices to enable society to reunite its shattered links, to shake off the shackles of feudalism To relight and uplift the almost extinguished torch of civilization.” The men on this commission of 1876 who wrote this were silver partisans, John P. Jones, Lewis V. Bogy, George Willard, R. P. Bland and William S. Grotsbeek, and their statements have been the amusement of students ever since. For example, there is not a single statistician of repute who ever stated that that was $1,800,000,000 of gold in existence at the Christian era.

Then “Coin” interpolated a sentence of his own coining in brackets into the quotation, as if it had been also quoted from the commisison: “Dr. Adam Smith informs us that in 1455 the price of wheat in England was two pence per bushel.” What Adam Smith actually said was this (B. L, chpter 11, part 3): “10 pence a bushel, therefore, had in the 25 of Edward 111., been reckoned a very moderate price of wheat,” etc., and “From about the middle of the fourteenth to the beginning of the sixteenth century, what was reckoned the reasonable and moderate —that is, the or average — price of wheat, seems to have sunk gradually to about one-half this price [i. e., four ounces]; so as at last to have fallen to about two ounces of silver, tower weight, equal to about 10 shillings of our present money. It continued to be estimated at this price until tbout 1570.” Since there are eight bushels m a quarter, the price per bushel was 15 pence; not two pence, as “Coin” says. These errors are not, of course very vital to the money question, but they are vital to the trustworthiness of this book. A book which dees not contain a true statement on its first page is certainly open to suspicion when it goes on to further monetary discussion. Tlielectures spoken of in this book never took place in the Art Institute, nor in any other place in Chicago; nor were the persons mentioned therin present, nor did they make any of the remarks attributed to them. The whole account of the lectures is absolutely untrue, and the money logic is as untrustworthy as the general deceit of the book. — Chicago Times Herald.

CHANGED THEIR MINDS.

The People of Delavan, Wisconsin, on Water Works. The article in The Republican of two weeks ago, on the subject of water works in Rensselaer, appears to have been very well received, and to have'been read with-interest by all, and approval by most. As we then stated, the neighoring town of Monticello will vote on the question of wpter-works at the ensuing town election. The proposition seems to have the unqualified approval of all the Monticello papers, and very much which they have to say on the subject would be Equally applicable to Rensselaer. The following from the Herald of last week seems to us well worth reprinting: One year ago last December a sysof water works was completed for the town of Dela Van, Wis., a town of about the same population and wealth as Monticello The history of the water works movement at Delavan is interesting and suggestive.

The subject had been agitated for several years, but the project had met with determined opposition, and the opposition seemed to be in the majority. The question was submitted to a vote in 1888, resulting in overwhelming defeat for the wat<r works proposition by a vote of 229 to 58. In 1889 the agitation was renewed and another election held, at which, although the proposition carried by a small majority, the margin was so close that the opponents of water works succeeded afterwards in preventing any action being taken by the Town Board. The matter consequently rested again until circumstances gave the people an object lesson.In 1892 a fire occured which wiped out a business block and.§ftveral other buildings. As the populace struggled with the flumes ana saw their property go up in smoke in spite of all their efforts they began to think of water works again. The .question was reopened, and in March, 1893, another election was ordered. This time the water works idea carried by a vote of 318 to 36, together with a proposition to bond the town for $20,000. Bids were received and a contract let to Fairbanks, Morse and Co. of Chicago for a tower system of water works with four miles of mains. Forty or fifty home laborers were at once put to work and things were kept moving in the little town for many weeks. At the completion of the work the town was in possession of a plant which seemed to meet every requirement, and the people were in a jubilant spirit over their achievement.

At that time no test had been made of the practical advantages of the system, and having heard nothing from Delavan for over a year, we wrote a few days ago to the editor of the Delavan Republican, asking him if the water works had met public expectations and if they were self sustaining. He answers as fellows: Delavan, Wis , April 9, 1893 J B. Vanßuskirk, —Dear Sir:—Replying to ycur recent inquiry, I will say that the water works sy stem is giving the best of satisfaction. For fire protection and supplying water for domestic purposes, lawn and street sprinkling we could not do without it, and we all most emphatically say it is a Grand SUCCESS. I asked the superintendent if the system was self-sustaining, and he says that the receipts the first year more than paid the running expenses and this year a good share of the interest will be paid by the receipts from rentals. We get along without electric lights very well, but water works are a neccessity. Yours fraternally, W. G. Weeks. The testimony of Delavan is the universal testimony of towns where water works have been established, so far as we have ever heard. If there is a town the size of Monticello that regrets having taken this progressive step after the plant is in operation we do not know where it is. A few good Jersey cows for sile. Laßue Bros.
