Till', I'llLc'. OUNAIIK liP SIIAKR. h'or the lirst time yinie si;, if ever before, there Is lireseuliMl to the Ameri can people by us a clear and direct Is sue as to our monetary system, of vast j Importance in lis ell cols, and upon the right settlement of which rests largely the tinniicial honor and .pros- ; pi iily of the coiiiiuy. It is proposed bv one wing of llie I letiioi rulh p:irtv, i and it allies, the IVoole's ami Silver parlies, to inaugurate the free and un limited o!tia!Tc of silver by indepen dent action on llie part of the I'niled Stales at a ratio of It! ounces of silver Pi one ounce of gold. The mere ih ola ra tion of this purpose Is a moiineo to our liuancla! and industrial lid res'ts and has already created universal alarm. It Involves great peril to the cr. dii and business of the country, a peril so grave that coiihi rvalive men everywhere are bieakiui,' away from their old party associations and uniting Willi other patriotic citizens in emphatic protest against the platform of the l.'omoot at ic national convention us an assault upon the lailh and honor of the governim nl and welfare of the people. We have had few iticsllons in llie life time of the republic more sTrlous than the one which is thus presented. Ml RKiYKKIT TO I.ALioR. The character of the money which tdotll roensore o'er values ri till ex- i haiiKes, ami settle our balances with one another and with the nations ot ine worm, is oi sucn primary impori .ince, and so far reaching In" f(s c.m seiuietioe, as lo call Tor the most pains taking investigation, nnd. in the end, a MiLer and unprejudiced judgment ut the polls. We must not. be misled by phrases, nor deluded by false theories. Free silver would not moan that silver dollars were to be freely had with out cost or labor. It would mean the free use of the lninls of Ihe I 'nilod i Stales for the few who are owners i f i silver bullion, but would make silver com no freer to the many who are on- : gaged in other enterprises. It would i not make labor easier. Hie hours of j labor shorter, or the pay better. H ! would not make farming less laborious, ! tnnro pioiiiable. Jt would not start i it factory, or make n, demand for an additional days labor. Jt would create no new occupations. It would add nothing to the comfort of the masses. Ihe i"Dittil of the people, or the wealth of the nation. It seeks to Introduce a now measure of value, but would add no value to ihe thing meas ured. It would not conserve values. On the contr-iiy, it would derange all existing values. It would not restore business contidence, but lis direct ef fect would lie to destroy the little which yet remains. WHAT JT J1KAXS. The meaning of the coinage plank adoptod at Chicago is that any ope may take a nuantity of silver bul lion now worth fifty-three cents to the mints of the Cnitod States, have It coined at the expense ot the rrovern incnt, and receive for.lt a silver dol lar which shall be logni tender for tlie payment of all debts, public and private. The owner of the silver bul lion would get the silver dollar. It would belong to him and to nobody else. Other people would get it. only by their labor, the products of their land, or something of value. The bill ion owner on the basis of present values, would receive the silver dol lar for fifty-three cents' worth of sil ver, and other people would be re l uire'1 to receive it ns a full dollar in ihe payment of debts. The govern ment would get nothing from the trans action. It would bear the expense of coining, the silver and the community would suffer loss by its use. TIIR DOLLARS COMPARED. We have coined since 1S7S more than four hundred millions of silver dollars, which are maintained by the govern ment at parity with jjold. and arc a full legal tender for the payment of all debts, public and private. How are the r.ilver dollar tiow in us" dif ferent from these which would be in use under free coinage? They are to lie of the wnne weight and fineness, they are to bear the same stump of Ihe jrovcrninent. Why would they not he of the same value? I answer: The silver dollars now In use were coined on account of tlie gov ernment, and not for private account or gain, and the government has sol emnly agreed to keep them as good as the best dollar we have. The gov ernment bought the silver bullion nt its market value and coined it Into sil ver dollars. Having conclusive control of the mintage. It only coins what It ran hold at a parity with pold. The profit, repiosen'tinjT the difference be tween the commercial value of thf sil ver byllinn and the face value of the silver dollar, rocs to the government for'the benefit of the poople. The sov rrnment bousht the silver bullion con tained In the silver dollar at very much less than its coinase value. It paid it nut to its creditors and put It in circu lation nmoiijr the people tit its face value of one hundred cents, or a full dollar. It required the people to n- ept V- aw leital tendtT. and Is, thus morally bound to maintain.it at a parity with Kdd. which was then, as now, liie recie.ir.izeil standard with us, nnd the most cnlichtcml Pillions of the world. The BoVeintiient huvin.sr issued anil circulated the silver, it must In honor protect the holder from loss. This obligation it has so far sacredly kept. Not only is there a moral obligation, but there is a legal obligation, oxpresi'tl In public value, to nmintuin the parity. THKY COriD NOT UK KfCl.'T AT l'AR. These iloll.-rs. in the pari iculars I hu' naineil, are not the same as the dollars which would be issued under feci' ciimi!:c. They wotihl be the simie in form, but different in value. The v. rnutcTil would have no imri in tno transaction, except to coin the silver bullion iiuo dollars. U would share in no part of the profit. H would take upon itself no obligation. It would not put the dollars into circulation. Jt could only get them, ns any citizen would get them, by p-tving something for them. H would deliver them to those who deposited the sliver and its i oiim-i lion with tht transaction there ended. Such are the silver dollars which would be issued -under free cdti ige of silver nt a ratio of 10 to 1. Who would then maintain the parity? Wh.it would keep them nt par with pold? There, would be no obligation resting upon llie government to do If, iii.il if there were, it would be power loss to do it. The simple truth is wo would be diiveii to u silver basis to silver mouometnllisiii. Thes" dollars, therefore, would stand upon their real alue. II' the free nnd inillni'.ied cfeii age of .-diver at a ratio of Hi ounces id silver to 1 ounce of gold would, as some of its" advocates assert, muko "i tit t v -1 In cents in Silver worth one ',.,. 1....I c,.,,w f,.1 tl...

Mexico and China have tried ihe experiment. Mexico has free loinage of silver and gold at a ralio '" cm-oss oi sixteen ami a ' n. ill ounces oi silver to one ounce of gold, and when her mints are freely open to both metals nl thai ratio, not a "ingle dollar in gold bullion is coined and circulated as money. Hold ha.s been driven out of 1 re 1 1 la i ion in these countries and they are on a silver basis alone, t ntil inieriinl ional agree ment is had. it Is the plain iltitv of the I'niled States to maintain tiie gold slumlord. It is the recognized and sole slumlord of tin- treat commercial na tions of the world, with which we lialo more largely than any oilier.

ChiWIy by means or legislation dur ing and since IS,'! there have been put In ( lit 'illation more than StL'Uiilli.iiiin of silver, or Us representative". This has been done In the honest effort to give to silver, If posible, the same bullion and coinage value, and encourage the concui rent live ,,f both gold and silvei ,ls """" 1 ' lor to mat there had been '' :,';m "ine millions of silver dollars oolned In the entire history of the I'hitod States, a period of eighty-nine yours. Tills legislation' secures the largest us.' of silver consistent wilh limim-hil safety am! the pll;;e to maintain its parity with gold. We have today more silver than gold. This has been accomolishc d at times with grave in -ril to the public credit. The I so-cilied sheriiimi lnw sought to use all the silver products of the Tnited Stnes for mom v at its market value. ' From IViO to (he government pur chased Otn.nnf! ounce"! of silver a month, or ." t.oiia.ii'ili ounces a year. This as one-third of-tii.- product of the world and prac tiealiy nil of this coun try's prnduo:. It was thought by those who then and now favor free coinage that such use of silver would advance its bullion value to lis coinage value, but this expectation was not relisted. In a few months, notwithstanding the unprecedented market for the silver produced in the I'nitcd States, the price of silver went down very rapidly, reach ing a lower point than ever before. Then upon the leenimnendation of I'rosident Cleveland, both political par ties united in the repeal of the purchas ing clause of the Sherman law. We cannot safely engage In further experi ments in this direction. (in the .I'.'nd of August. 1S91, in a public address. I said: "If we could have nn international ratio, which all the loading nations of the world would adopt, and the true relation be fixed between the two metals, and all ngree upon the quantity of silver which should constitute a dollar, then silver would be ni free nnd unlimited in its privileges of coinage as gold is today. Hut that we have not been able to se cure, and with the free and unlimited coinage of silver adopted in the Pnlt ed States, at the present ratio, we would be still further removed from any international agreement. We may never be able to secure it if we enter upon the Isolated coinage of silver. The double standard implies equality at a ratio nnd that equality can only be estblished by the concurrent law of nations. It was Hie concurrent law of nations that, made th double stand be established by the concurrent law of nations to reinstate Mid sustain It." IT FAVORS THK I'SR OF SILVKU. The Republican patty has not boon, nnd Is not now, opposed to the usa of silver money, as Us ri toid abundant ly shows. It has done all that could be done for its Increased use, with snfotv and honor, by the Hulled States acting apart from other governments. There are those who think that It has already gone beyond the limit of finan cial prudence. Surely we can ro no CoirtlntiPd on Pago 2.

Heaver, I'a., Aug. 20. In an Inter view with a representative of the Pitts burg Dispatch, railed States Senator (Juay to nil intents and purposes an nounced that the light that had been raging between him and David Martin, the Republican leader of Philadelphia, was at an end. Mr. Quay said that he was convinced that his criticism of Mr. Jlartin In the senate in January, lS'iii, in which he accused the latter of hav ing been Influenced in a corrupt deal, was nn injustice to the Philadelphia lender. Mr. Quay further said It would seem that the warring Republican fac tions in Pennsylvania have come to a complete understanding. After his !,-Jtement in regard to Mr. Martin, Senn'tor Quay said: "I have loubt that .Martin and Magee peo ple will contribute valuably to the slate Republican ticket and organiza tion in I nns.vlvaniu." Jn regard to the recent reports that Senator Cameron was seeking re nomination Air. Quay said: "Mr. Cam eron has formally announced that ho will not be a candidate for renotnlnu tlon. He would not ro-enter if he could and could not if he w ould. The story of his candidacy, has. I suspect, been re cently revived by the promoters of sena torial candidates, who have little strength or hope to win public favor by posing on an anti-Ca run platform." Mr. Quay predicted the election of Mo Kinley and denied Ihe published stories that ho was to have charge of the Re publican national headquarters in New York or of the campaign in the South, lie was going lo New York In a few days he said, but simply as u "high private" on the Republican executive committee. WHAT MARTIN SAYS. David Marl in, when seen tonight said that the public ret ine; ion by Senator Quay was not altogether a surprise, as he had heard rumors for some time that it was coming. II was unsolicited, ho said, on his part and entirely volun tary on Ihe part of Senator Quay, and was not the result of any Intervention on the part of mutual friemfs. further than this Mr. Martin said lie had mithiipv more lo say i" til ho had read the entire Interview in the papers, when he might l.ilk further on the sub ject. There was no deal, ami as to the effect on the local political situation lie llioiighl there would be none. DEMOCRATS AT ERIE. Eighth.
