QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Don. John B. Conner of the “Indiana Farmer” Answers a Number of Leading Questions Propounded by His Friend Johnson. The following interesting conversation occurred on the silver question the other day between John B. Conner of the Indiana Fanner and, Mr. Johnson of Clinton county: “I read your views recently published on the silver question, ” said Mr. Johnson to Mr. Conner, “and I want to ask you one plain question, and that is—will not free coinage of silver make money pion tier and easier for all of us?” Mr. Conner replied—l am in favor of easier times, certainly, but I cannot sco how free coinage of silver by this country alone is to give ps that. Mr. Johnson—But you must admit that when there is plehty of anything that we all want, it makes better times. Mr. Conner—How is the free coinage of silver for thegreut milling firm ofßr W. Hamilton & Co. of Nevada, or that of George N. Comstock & Co. of Colorado, or that of C. R. Gates <fc Co. of Montana, going to help you and me to easier times! 1 Mr. Johnson—Well, when there is a great deal of money it circulates more freely and helps us all; don’t you think so? ' Mrr Conner— ‘Newy-Mr. Johnson, thatis as far aS any free coinage man has ever gone in his explanation of easier times and plenty of money in conversation with me. The thing I want to know is how are you and I, or anyone else, to get some of that money freely coined by the government for Hamilton & Co., or any other of the mine owners? Mr. Johnson—l might answer by asking, how do you and I get money at all from any one? * Mr Conner—l am glad thgt you asked that question, for the answer to it explains just what I am driving at. Mr. Johnson—What do you mean? Mr. Conner—l mean how does any one obtain money from another? Mr. Johnson—Well, you say. Mr. Conner—The only way I know of ’ is by exchanging something one has with the man who has the money and wants the things you have bad enough to give it to you. Mr. Johnson—l guess you are right, and as the fellow who has the money can’t cat it or wear it ho will have to exchange it for things to eat and wear and uso in his business. Mr. Conner—Yes, that is so; but suppose that those mining fellows and the speculators in silver bullion have plenty of money already to buy what they want to eat and wear and use in their business, then how are you going to get more money out of them after the government coins it free for them. Mr. Johnson I don’t understand what you are driving at. Mr. Conner—Well, it is this: Hamilton & Co., the grcajj silver mining company. under free coinage, would take 10,000 ounces of silver to the United States mint, have it coined free and while in the open markets of the world it was worth only $0,202.50, the government would turn over to them at its coinage value, $11,025. As Hamilton & Co. have all the money they need now to buy what they want to eat and wear for themselves and families, and to pay for all they want to uso in their mining camps and stamp mills, they would naturally put this extra $11,625 away in their vaults and use it to buy land, or bid in yours if you should have a mortgage to be foreclosed, or gamble in Chicago wheat or New York stocks, or start a bank with. Whatever they did with it, they ought to thank you for helping them make a clear profit of $5,412.50 on the 10,000 ounces of silver, for it would be a good boost toward becoming a millionaire, with your help.

Mr. Johnson—But I don’t look at it in that way. Mr. Conner—Well, how do you look at it? That is what I have been trying to find out. Mr. Johnson—ls Hamilton & Co., and others, who took silver bullion to* the mint and had it coined free, and did not use it for buying things they wanted, they would probably deposit it in the banks to be put out in circulation, wouldn’t they? Mr. Conner —Possibly that is what many of both the mining companies and bullion speculators would do. But how would it bo ‘put in ciwnlatiou?' Mr. Johnson —Like the banks put ’ money in circulation now, I suppose. Mr. Conner—You mean that the banks would loan it? Mr. Johnson—Yes. Mr. Conner—That is, somebody would have to give a note in bank, aud pay interest, and use the money. Mr. Johnson—Yes, of course, that is the way more money gets into circulation. Mr. Conner—Mr. Johnson, I suppose that you remember what the interest rate on money used to bo 20 to 80 years ago? Mr. Johnson—Yes, I remember. Mr. Conner—The rate was 10 per cent, wasn’t it? . 1 Mr. Johnson—Yes, I paid 10 per cent thep. r . ■» .

Mr. Conner—Well, you can borrow money how at 6, can’t you? Mr. Johnson—Yes, the last I borrowed on mortgage security wss 6 per cent. Mr. Conner —Let us see. Hero is a telegram in The Journal this morning which says that the banks in New York have over $20,000,000 on hand above what the law required them to keep as reserve, and money on call is loaning at lt< to 2 per cent, but no demand for this extra $20,000,000. Mr. Johnson—What of that? Mr. Conner—The last statement of the Indiana banks a few days ‘ago showed that the loanable funds on hand above the required reserve, was many w millions of dollars. Mr. Johnson—Well, suppose it was? Mr. Conner—And I know of good call or short time loans to good parties made at 4 per cent in Indiana, and yet here are these millions piled up by depositors in the banks that can’t be loaned on good safe paper. Mr. Johnson—l don’t see what these New York and Indiana mutters have to do with the question. 7 Mr. Conner—That is what is the matter with you free silver coinage people. You seem, to fail utterly to comprehend the relation of one thing to anothor. I tell you, here are millions of dollars piled up in the banks, with interest, as you admit, at about half what it used to be, and yet can’t be loaned or put in circulation by the banks, as you say. Now the relation of “these “matters to your suggestion that Hamilton & Co., and others having silver coined free for them is, that if the present volume of idle millions can’t be put in circulation, how would these extra millions get into circulation or help me or you or any of the 70,000,000 people of the United States, except these rich miners and speculators whose pockets you propose to fill at nearly $2 for $1 of bullion at its present market price. Mr. Johnson—That isn’t the way I look at it. Mr. Conner—That may be, and the more is the pity; for while you are filling the pockets of the rich mine owners and speculators by free coinage and by increasing the value of their metal nearly one-half—l say while you people propose to do all this without charge or any earthly benefit to anyone but themselves, you are plunging ahead to silver monometallism and general disaster to every other kind of business. It is time to call a holt and take your bearings.

HAVE FAITH IN M’KINLEY.

Betting Men Offer to Oive Big Odds Without Finding Taker*. Now York Advertiser. It is a little early in the presidential campaign to look to the prophetic straws of the betting ring for evidences of popular sentiment. Nevertheless it is a mutter of record that the betting has already begun. At least offers have been made, although the tempting odds seem to attract no takers. When SIO,OOO Is put up in large or small amounts with odds of five to two that Major McKinley will be elected,and Stays up without any response, it may bo fairly concluded that the hope of boating him is very small indeed. The men who offer and take bets of this kind at this stage of the game are not politicians seeking at the last moment to influence wavering voters by professed confidence in the election of their candidate. They arc cool headed professional gamblers on the lookout for cash investments. Not one of these sees two chances in five, with all the possibilities of life and fate and circumstance on his side, worth backing, not even with the whole field of candidates against the Republican nominee to choose from. They are waiting, of course, tilf the true odds are given, which, two months hence, will probably bo 500 to 1 on McKinley.

IN A NUTSHELL.

Simple Facts Concerning Money and ltd and AbiiHen—Timely and Valuable Information Ilealt Out In Small Packages. Money is a thing of value, used to make exchange of other things easy. Money that is not a thing of value is simply the representative of money or credit, for convenience’s sake. Such is paper money, checks, drafts, bills of exchange, postal and money orders. Money has in early ages had the form of cattle. Ponies serve as money among some Indian tribes. It was reserved for civilized people to invent systems of credit money, and ■ then to become confused as to the nature and relation of money and its representative. The first essential of money is value and the second is convenience of form. These are the reasons which make gold and silver the best kind of money. When gold and silver first came to be used os money they were measured by weight. When men learned how to inirease the alloy without detection, fair dealing required the civil power to analyze the gold and silver in circulation and stamp upon the metals the degree of their fineness and the amount of their weight. A purchase is a swap or trade of one kind of value for another. When a i mon gave a horse for a cow of equal value by means of the medium of money

the principles of barter did not change. The swap or trade was only a triangular one. Modern money systems have refined this principle ' and made it complex, but have never changed the principle. Governments do not create money. What they haye they accumulate. Why pay taixes if governments in;- their sovereign power could create money? Taxes and dues of stated sort are the avenues through which our national treasury isfllled. j If nations issue promise s to pay, they must provide something of. value in which to pay. Nations “perish or default, but the right of property endures forever. Paper loses value by default, but gold and silver .do not. Gold has a higher value for money purposes-than silver because it is more compact in weight and presents less surface for loss by wear. For several centuries before the United States government was organized, one pound of gold equaled in value from 14 to something over 16 pounds of giiver. It was in this ratio more desirable in the arts and as money. A change of ratio of 14 to 16, or vice versa, is enough to give one or the other 15 per cent more value. American coins were first molded in the ratio of 15 to 1. There was only .l-10tfa of 1 difference between I’s to 1 and the market ratio, but it was enough to set the cheaper money to work to drive out the dearer. The dearer money in this instance was silver, and it disappeared from circulation. The silver dollar was worth more as bullion than as coin. ( A; There have been periods in American history when gold was the dearer money of the two, but for nearly nine tenths of the time previous to .1879, silver was the dearer money and kept out of circulation. This was on account of a stiff legal or mint ratio, with free and unlimited coinage. "It was impossible to float both metals at once, with full legal tender power. There was therefore no true bimetallism. The Republican party adopted a law providing for specie payment and a policy of freely exchanging gold for silver. It was neccessary in order to accomplish this to limit the number of silver dollars coined, but the purchasing power of the silver “dollar of our daddies” was preserved by retaining the time honored ratio of 1834 at the mints. This floated all the silver possible at a par with gold and gave the country true bimetallism. Herein may be seen the , difference between Republican and Democratic statesmanship. You can tell them by their works. The Republican party never was an enemy to silver nor partial to gold. The free exchange of gold and silver, dollar for dollar, at the mints of the United States is based on a policy and not a law. A law requiring payments in gold instead of coin would make gold the only legsd tender, and establish gold monometallism. The Republican party prevents this by founding the practice of the country upon a policy to exchange gold for silver at the will of the holder, and to pay obligations in coin. As long as the policy of making all coin equal to the best coin prevails, our money of, final redemption includes both silver and gold. Any other policy drives out the more valuable coin, as experience and reason show. This means monometallism, or use of one metal alone as redemption money and brings, oil a contraction of circulating medium equal to the amount driven out. The legal tender quality of our money is given it by the exercise of the sovereign authority of the people through their chosen representatives to make debts payable equally in gold, silver or greenbacks. Good credit of the government is necessary to give effect to the edict of the people. Tl)o legal tender power is not needed to make gold good money, but the legal tender power conferred upon silver in limited- quantities makes silver as good as gold, and gives the people the use Of both metals. There is no other way to secure the use of both metals. *

This country is not on a gold basis. This would mean that all debts must? be paid in gold alone. This country is on a COIN basis with a gold standard, which calls into the fullest possible safe use the silver of the country. Hence the “existing gold standard” mentioned in the St. Louis platform was not the work of “gold bugs’’ but of true bimetallists. There is no getting away from these facts: A paper dollar destroyed is lost for ever. It was not a dollar, but only a promise to pay a dollar, and the promise is no longer in evidence. A silver dollar battered so as not to be able to see the government stamp becomes bullion and is worth what 371.25 grains of bullion is worth, about 53 cents. A gold dollar battered so as not to be able to see tho government stamp also becomes bullion, but there is enough bullion there to exchange it for 100 cents. It’s defacement did not lose it anything of its value. But under the “existing gold standard” these two coins are equally useful for the payment of all debts because the government injects 47 cents worth of credit into silver. As the credit of nations like that of men is lilnited, so it becomes necessary to limit the number of silver dollars that demand so much credit. It is at once the hope, purpose and so far as possible. the pledge of the Republican party that by international agreement of the great powers of tho earth, silver may grow in value t and thus require less of national credit to maintain a par purchasing power with gold, at the 16 to 1. The number of silver dollars added to our coinage may increase as the demand for national credit in them decreases.

v ’’ PEEK-A’-BOO!’' CHK&I ’ * fib Illu —New York World. • *“ --*

Not many Republicans will have such ib radical friendship for silver as to influence them-to line up with Altgeld, Tillman and the Populist breed that are limply the advance agents of communists and anarchy. The Republican party is the only i party that has ever solved the intricate problems of government and brought honor, glory and prosperity to the republic. The Republican party will do business at the old stand after March 4, and again restore confidence to our financial policy and cash to a depleted treasury. The Republican party alone, in emergencies like the present, in 1860, when the Union was assaulted, can meet and master the alarming exigencies. ’ Senator Hill threw the entire dictionary. into his answer to the speeches of Altgeld and Tillman at the Chicago convention of Populists and repudlationists, when he said: “I am a Democrat, but not a revolutionist.” The doctrines of the platform and the sentiments of the speakers sound like the mouthings of Robespierre. The Haymarket riot at Chicago was the death khell of anarchy. The Chicago convention sounded the funeral notes of revolution and free silver repudiation in this land of justice and freedom.

A Democratic Louisville paper has been interviewing workingmen on the political situation and, among others, a life-tong Democrat who is secretary of the Locomotive Engineers’ union. “We work too hard,” he said, “and run too many dangers to accept false money for our services.” But where is the man anywhere working for fixed wages who can afford to vote away half his pay? Demagogues are trying to catch workingmen this time with a bare hook.

• During the 11 months ending with May 31 last the exports of this country amounted to $798,265,351, and the imports to $728,561,261. Mr. Bryan desires to transfer this enormous business from a gold to a silver basis, and calls the operation “a new declaration of independence. ’ ’ Business men desire no such emotional foolishness. What they, want is a full volume of increasing trade, satisfied customlers, and money of unquestioned soundness. It was ex-Speaker Crisp, the free silver Democratic candidate for senator from Georgia, who in his opening speech at. Atlanta handed down to his sympathetic audience as one of the first and ripest fruits of the Cleveland administration a reduction of $25,000,000 in the government’s annual expenses, saved by clipping, off the pensions of Union soldiers. The Democratic glory is that a dollar scissored from a soldier’s pension is a dollar saved.

The studied delay in the adjudication of pension claims at Washington not only robs the pensioners of money rightfully due, but on an average 83 of the old soldiers, so weary of waiting for an allowance of their pensions—a sacred debt of honor—die daily. And then Tillman, one of the apostles of the free silver Democracy, and Crisp, the exspeaker, boast that the Democratic party is “saving $25,000,000 annually in pensions alone!”

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat preaches a short and pithy sermon to every class of wage-earners in saying: “The laboring man who votes the Jacobin ticket votes for a scheme of infiation from which he will reap nothing but eviL Others l may temporarily profit by it, but the man who works for wages will know it only as a curse from its beginning to'its ending.”

The protest against the Chicago platform coming from southern Democrats is far more vigorous and general than was anticipated. There will be no solid south this year, though all the Bryan arithmeticians are claiming it as certain. It is a curious fact that Bryan does not belong to the Democratic party of his own state, but to a bolting faction which nominated a ticket of its own last year and polled only a little over l-20th of the Whole number of votes oast. The Republican party not only wants labor to have steady employment at good wages, but it also wants those wages to be paid in currency of the highest value.

This is Worth Remembering.

While the Democratic party is pledged to free trade and free silver, and is thus exerting itself to destroy the industries of the people and debase the currency of the nation, and consequently to rob the poor and impoverish the rich, the Republican party, under the patriotic and sagacious leadership of Wtfliam McKinley, is pledged to the safe sidernf every issue now before the country. There is a buzz of satisfaction among the socialists of Europe over the Chicago platform. They admire Altgeld and Tillman, and think Bryan is full of promise. - '
