The Wllkcs-narre Record la respect
fully Informed that The Tribune has
loyally supported every Itepubllcnn

was started.
Sure Cure for Hard Times.
No morn persistent misrepresenta
tion has to he encountered in this cam
paign then the claim of the Hryanltei
that the available supply of gold Is
Insufficient to maintain a frold standard.
If this were true, we should have known
It long bro. The country has been upon
n frold basis In fact since 1853 and idnre
1S78 we have had gold redemption. Dur
ing all the years between these dates
nnd 1892 no one said that there wasn't
enough gold to maintain a gold stand
ard. Only when our tariff was tink
ered, our national revenue cut off and
the gold reserve drawn upon through
lack of confidence In Democratic man
agement did the gold standard give any
trouble, and then its trouble was rather
a tariff than a monetary one.
A gold standard doesn't mean that
every dollar in circulation must be a
metal dollar made of gold. It means
simply that whatever dollars there may
be In circulation whether of paper or
silver shall be kept up to the level of
gold, or In other words shall be as
good as gold. Ninety per cent, of the
business of this country is transacted
without the use of a dollar In actual
cash. I!ank checks are used, or other
forms of credit paper, and these are
exchanged from hand to hand until in
the general transaction the original debt
Is eliminated by a balancing of ac
counts. There must, of course, be some
money back of these credits, but sta
tistics show that with a per capita
of about $22 of real money wo sustain
on on average a per capita of $90 or
more In credits. These credits would
shrivel enormously if we should go on
a silver basis. Those credits rest on
confidence. Nothing Is clearer than that
bankers and business men generally do
not take stock In the silver movement.
They are afraid of It. They have no
confidence In It. If It should prevail,
they would call In their credit accom
modations as far as possible and there
would be a. most serious and distressing
panic.
There Is more money today In exist
ence In this country than there ever
was before more In tho aggregate, and
more to each Individual. Dut most of
that money is lying Idle In bank vaults.
WhyT Because business men tack con
fidence. Investors won't Invest Mer
chants won't buy. The silver move
ment has frightened them. They don't
want to put nut 100-cent dollars and
Ret back dollars worth only 60 cents
in purchasing power. Capital Is scared.
It has gone Into hiding. It needs some
assurance of stability to bring It out,
and to get It moving with the old-time
velocity In the various channels of
trade. We can have prosperity once
mors Just as We had it prior to 1892,
but to do so we must restore the condi
tions under which It came to us In days
gone by in other words, we must for
tify sound money by a re-establishment
of Protection to American labor. Amer
ican revenue and American industries.
"It would be the height gf folly and
an exhibition of the veriest kind of
senile statesmanship to put this great
country of ours at the foot of the list
of the nations of the earth." Senator
Cullom.
"I do not know what you think
about it, but 1 believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
hiill of the Vailed States to tho
labor of America Ihnu to open up
thn mints of tho I'nitcd States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Ilryan wants to "eradicate Protec
tion," but the chances are Protection
ists will eradicate Bryan.
A Tale of Two Dollars.
Referring to a placard In The Tri
bune window showing the comparative
values of two silver dollars, one a
Mexican and the other an American
dollar, the Times says:
The American silver dollar Is not
"backed by gold." It Is primary money,
money of ultimate redemption, It rests
upon Its own bottom, und this government
has never promised to redeem it in gold
or anything else. If gold were demone
tised tomorrow the silver dollar would
circulate at its face value just tho same.
The real reason why the American dollar
maintains its value Is that it Is a full
legal tender for the paymest of all ik-lit.
The trade dollar contains about the same
quantity of silver as the Mexican dollar.
There was a time when the trade dollar
was legal tender In this country and It
circulated slile by side with the stand
ard dollar. There was even a time when
the Mexican dollar was a legal tender In
this country and then It was worth as
much as any of our silver or gold dollars.
If either or both were legal tender they
would today pass current as 100 cents.
Kut they have lost that quality nnd have
suffered In value In consequence thereof.
This demonstrates the wonderful effect
produced upon bullion by making it a
legal tender. Without this quality the
bullion Is so much metal. With the legal
tender quality the bullion becomes coin
which everybody wants. Silver nnd gold
as bullion and silver nnd gold as legal
tender are as different as the rough stone
and the statue chiseled from It by the
pculptor. When free coinage sends
the value of sliver up no one will be able
to buy tho Mexican dollar for less than
100 cents.
If the American silver dollar Is "pri
mary money, money of ultimate re
demption," what becomes of th Times'
claim that silver has been demonetized?
All the free coinage orators complain
that silver has been stricken down, that
It has been "done to death" by the
"crime of 1S73"; yet here is a free sil
ver organ which declares the present
volume of our sliver currency (which Is
nearly 100 times as great as It was In
1S73) Is "primary money, money of ulti
mate redemption" and full legal ten
der for all debts. If that be true, then
we already have bimetallism and the
hullabaloo of Bryan, Bland & Co., Is a
false alarm.
As a matter ot fact, the Times Is
wrong. Our silver money, while legal
tender it is true, Is kept up to the gold
value because of the policy of this gov
ernment, never departed from since
specie resumption In 1S7S, In redeeming
every matured obligation in gold. While
the holder of a sliver dollar or a silver
certificate cannot at a sub-treasury de
mand a gold dollar In exchange, he
knows that In tho ordinary processes of
business he can trade It on even terms
for a bank, note or a treasury note,
either of which must upon presentation
(under the rulings of the treasury de
partment) be redeemed in gold. Be
cause our silver money Is limited In
volume, everybody knows he can get
gold or Its equivalent for that sliver.
Kut if we should issue silver money
In unlimited quantity, as Mexico does.
that privilege of intercunvertibility
would disappear and we should fall to
a silver basis, with gold at a prem
ium just as it now is In Mexico.
The legal tender function did not keep
the greenback at a parity with gold In
war times. It did not make confederate
money good. It does not make the
Mexican silver dollar good for more
than its bullion value. A gold dollar
when melted Is worth practically
100 cents, the world over; but melt one
of our present silver dollars nnd you get
for it only about S3 cents, its bullion
value. This proportion would still be
true If we had free coinage. Our silver
dollar then would pay 100 cents' worth
of debt, but it would buy only G3 cents'
worth of gold, and all who owe gold
debts would have to pay liberally in
order to get the gold with which to dis
charge those debts. Free coinage by
Mexico has not sent tha value of sil
ver up. It has only sent the purchasing
power of Mexican wages down. It has
doubled the Mexican laborer's grocery
bills, his clothing bills and the cost of
his other necessaries. It has not
doubled his wages. His wages, on the
contrary, are falling.
In the days when Mexican end trade
dollars were as good as gold dollars In
this country, the bullion value of the
silver In them was worth In the mar
kets of the world as much as the gold
In a gold dollar. If the Mexicans would
now put a dollar's worth of silver In
their silver dollar it would again be
worth as much as the' gold dollar. But
to do that they would have to coin their
dollar at the ratio of 32 to 1. Whenever
the Bryanltes agree to put a dollar's
worth of silver In the silver dollar,
one of the "principal objections to free
coinage will vanish.
"The only policy for the United
Plates to follow In financial matters Is
that of honesty and safety." Senator
Cullom.
Qood Advice.
The Buffalo Enquirer thinks there is
one plain fact to be kept before the
people In this presidential canvass. "In
1892 the Democratic party promised free
trade and represented It as the great
est possible boon to the farmer and
the working man. It was to bring on
prosperous times, renew the golden age
and wipe away all tears from all eyes.
What has been the result? Where Is
free trade? Where are the good times?
"This year the Democratic party
promises free coinage of silver at 16 to
1. It Is also represented as the greatest
possible boon to ' the farmer and the
working man. It la to bring on pros
perous times, renew the golden age, and
wipe away all tears from all eyes. Are
the people ready to accept this story
after the disastrous deception of 1892?
Are we such fools as to believe not only
In the philosopher's stone and the uni
versal solvent In politics, but to believe
that a new cure-all can be brought for
ward every four years?"
The Enquirer's advice is to "set aside
all such nonsense, hold the party In
power responsible for Its own record,
and turn it out as a failure, and be
cause It has been a failure." That Is
what the people propose to do.
Does the Times think its readers
can be Influenced by such drivel as
that McKinley is the candidate ot a
syndicate? Does it imagine they have
ceased to remember how McKinley
was forced on the Republican leaders
at St. Louis by an unparalleled upris
ing of the common people In his favor?
Has It Itself forgotten how the bosses
were bowled over one after another
by the spontaneous movement of thn
masses toward McKinley a movement
which compelled his nomination on the
Hist ballot against a field containing
such strong rivals as Thomas B. Reed,
Levi P. Morton, William II. Allison,
Shelby M. Cullom, Cushman K. DuvU
and M. S. Quay? If any candidate
ever received a nomination straight
from the people.Wllllam McKinley did.
The claim of Bryan that he is tho
accredited spokesman of the people is
sheer presumption. It will be repudi
ated by them next November.
'Tree coinage has not raised or even
kept up the wages of the laboring men
of these countries where It Is In opera
tion. Why should the worklngman
expect it to do something hero which it
has not done anywhere else?" Senator
Cullom.
Henry Watterson says he would take
the Indianapolis nomination If it led
him to the stake. It will not lead that
far, Henry, but from a sound money
standpoint a third ticket will lead to
a serious mistake.
Bryan says his opponents don't offer
nny cure for the hard times. But they
do. They offer the standard prescrip
tion of Protection and sound money,
remedies that have repeatedly proved
their worth.
Bryan says he Is a Democrat; but the
Democrats whose opinions In the past
have constituted party doctrine deny
this and repudiate him utterly. What
ever Bryun is, he is egreglously mis
taken.
Colonel Watterson informs a Geneva
Interviewer that he Is sorry to see sound
money Democrats supporting McKin
ley. Possibly. Would he prefer to see
them supporting Bryan?
The Cuban revolutionists. It Is now
said, propose soon to get down to busi
ness. That is their only hope. The
God of liberty helps those who help
themselves.
Chauncey Black says Bryan will win
"unions the Republicans make a lavish
use' of money." There is always a
string to such predictions, you will
notice.
The government at Washington man
aged to get along before Hoke Smith
joined It, and at a pinch It can probably
survive his departure.
It Is true that Bryan says his election
would make silver worth $1.29 an ounce,
but wo fear that Bryan Is prejudiced.
Hill probably wants to discover from
Bryan what there'll be in it for him In
case Bryan should win.
It looks as if the political Interment
of one Thomas C. Piatt would have to
be again postponed.
SOUND MONEY DICTIONARY
From the Times-Herald.
BANK, originally a bench upon which
the merchant weighed money, metals
or other things. Now, any place where
money is handled ns a commodity.
BIMETALLISM, the theory that, if both
gold and silver are coined free and In un
limited quantities at a fixed ratio for
private owners, the coins will circulate
concurrently In a country. It has often
been tried and Invariably failed. If the
coinage ratio be more favorble to silver
than to gold. Judged by the truo or com
mercial ratio, gold will disappear. If un-
Justly favorable to gold silver will disap
pear.
BULLION, originally bulla, a seal or
stamp. Later, and now, money metal,
stamped or unstamped uncoined. Bul
lion Is bought where it communds the
least value and sold where it commands
the greatest.
CAPITAL, surplus wealth.
CENT, from centum: Latin, hundredth
part of n dollar.
CIRCULATION, amount of money In
use.
COIN, stamped metal used as money.
CREDIT, expectation ot money within
a limited time.
CURRENCY, that which Is given or
taken as having or representing value.
dime. Latin, dcrlmus, tenth, a tenth
of a dollar.
DOLLAR, from a dale in Bohemia whero
there was Issued a pure and honest coin
at a time when the coinage generally was
debased.
FIAT MONEY. Fiat. Latin, let It
Paper or other substance Intrinsically
worm nothing forced Into currency as
SWWley ami not redeemable In money
metal, therefore not properly money.
WH:IH,K STANDARD, the propose
that In the same country at the same time
two yardsticks can he In use, one thirty,
six Inches long, another eighteen Inches
long, each to be called a yard. Gold Is
tha yardstick thirty-six Inches long, silver
a yardstick eighteen Inches long.
FREE SILVER, a popular war of de
scribing the privilege sought by owners of
uncoined silver to take It to the mints
or assay offices of the United States and
get In exchange standard money at the
rate of $1.29 per ounce of silver, although
the real value of the metal today Is a
little over 60 cets per ounce. The owns
ers of the bullion will mnke the profit
snd the government and the people be
the losers. Bilver will be no more "free"
than now, and nobody will be able to get
a dollar then olhsrwlse than now, that
la, by giving labor or some other com
modity in exchange for it.
GOLD CERTIFICATE, a receipt by the
government of the United fitate for not
less than S-0 worth of gold, coh.id or un
coined, deposited in tha treasury and re
turnable on demand In exchange for the
receipt. Those receipts are not nomi
nally legal tunder, but the government
has mude them practically so by accept
ing them for payment of duties on Im
ports. Mono are issued when the gold in
the treasury falls below $KH,0),0(K).
llol.l) RESERVE. lluO.uoo.ow gold coin
or bullion held In the treasury to main
tain pecle payments and the parity of all
fcegal tender American currency with
gold.
CREHIIAM'B LAW. When both metals
are legal tender and have equul privi
lege at thn mints, the cheaper will drive
the dearer out of circulation. The law is
as old as currency, but was not named
until after formulated by Sir Thom-is
Greaham 300 years ago. Aug. 11. 1W)3, in
the house of representatives, William J.
Bryan said: "We established a bimt-tal-lk)
standard in 17M. but silver, being over
valued by our ratio of IS to 1, stayed
with us and gold went abroad, where
mint radios were more fuvoraWe." If
we should not open the mints to free and
unlimited coinage of silver at 1'! to 1, ai
Mr. Bryan advocates, the ratio would
be still more favorable to sliver. W
should lose our gold.
LEGAL TISNDER. currency which a
government permits a debtor to offer and
compels a creditor to receive.
MINT, a place where money is coined.
Thei name comes from Juno Mosvptu,
Juno the adviser, adjoining whose tem
ple on the Capltoline hill the Roman mint
was.
MONEY, a thing universally recognized
as having intrinsic value and used as a
measure ot value of other things; also a
commodity.
PARITY, equality of purchasing power
or debt-paying power.
PECUNIARY, referring to money.
RATIO, the rate at which gold meas
ures the values of other metals. Today
one ounce of gold measures that Is, will
buy nearly thirty-two ounces of sllve-.
The ratio is, therefore, I to 32. Gold Is al
ways the 1.
SIOIGXIORAflH, the charge for stamp
ing monoy. When coinage Is free there Is
no seigniorage,.
SILVER CERTIFICATE, a treasury re
ceipt for silver dollars actually deposited.
The receipts are not nominally legal ten
dor, but are practically so, being accept
ed by the government for customs, taxes
and other public dues, being thus kept at
par with gold, the gold equivalence to be
lost If we abandon the existing gold
standard. They will then represent only
the Intrinsic value of the pure silver In
tho silver dollar and will fluctuate In pur
chasing power according to the market
demand for silver bullion. That is, In
stead of being worth, as they are now,
100 cents to the dollar, they will be worth,
53 cents, more or less, to the dollar.
SIXTKEN TO 1, the demand of owners
of uncoined silver that the government
give them the equivalent of an. ounce of
gold for sixteen ounces of silver, although
they cannot get the equivalent of an ounce
of gold from any, other source for less
than about 32 ounces of silver.
STANDARD, that by which something
Is measured. Standard of value that by
which value Is measured. Gold 1 the
universal money standard of value be
cause it is not only held by mankind the
most precious of money metals, but be
cause all other kinds of money are rated
according to their equivalent In it.
SUBSIDIARY COIN, small pieces of
money metal having only limited legal
tender power.
TALE, the thing told on the face of the
coin Its declared value.
TOKEN MONEY, coins lawfully cur
rent for more than their real value.
TROY WEIGHT, twelve ounces to the
pound, supposed to have taken Its name
from the goldsmiths of Troyes, a town
of France, southeast of Paris.
UNIVERSAL STANDARD OF VALUE,
gold, because all other commodities in the
world are measured by their relation to
It. Eighty per cent, of tho world's busi
ness is done on the gold standard of value.
Even In silver standard countries, where
gold Is not seen, prices are fixed by the
gold standard, and the silver money
fluctuates In value according to its rela
tion to gold.
HIS ONE APPEAL.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
It Is worthy of note that Mr. Bryan in
muklng special and certainly unbecoming
appenls to the farmers mechanics nnd
woikingmen whom he classes ns the com
mon people, speaks only In favor of ad
vancing the market price of silver. He
seems to be the advocate of that single In
terest, that is one of tho smallest of the
productive Interests of the country. He
gives no promise that the farmer's wheat,
corn and other products shall be doubled
in value; no promise that the wages of
the mechanic and laboring man shall be
doubled In value; no promise that the
iron, eeal and cotton, which employ mil
lions of people, shall be doubled In value;
In Bhort, he gives no promise of apprecia
tion In price In the product of any Indus
try but the silver producers of our west
ern mountains. ;
REPIDIATEI) AT HOME.
From the Binghamton Herald.
We wish Mr. Bryan well: we really have
nothing against the gentleman, but he Is
mistaken. He Is advocating that which
would work great Injury to the country.
This Is recognized In his own state as this
campaign of education progresses. It Is
being shown that the free silver craze In
Nebraska Is dying out for the simple rea
son that It rests upon no substantial
foundation: it will not bear the search
light of investigation.
THE Hit VAN IDEA.
From the T.'mcs-Herald.
Admit nil the manufactures of the world
free to our shores and let our labor shift
for Itself.
Drive out all our gold, admit the silver
metal of the world free to our mints, an I
make our people take inferior dollars of
fluctuating value In place of our present
dollars worth JnO cents each, gold, paper
or silver.
Free trade, M-cent fluctuating dollars.
No cold.
THE ANTI-BHYAX IDEA.
From the Times-Herald.
Collect enough revenue at the custom
house to put an end to the treasury de
ficiency, and keep American mills and fac
tories running with American labor.
Keep all our present dollars, gold, silver
and paper, current nt their present fixed
value of 100 cents eech.
