GOLD HAS GROWN CHEAPER.
THE RATE OF INTEREST TESTS THE SUPPLY OF MONEY
IF
Gold is becoming scarcer and has appreciated in value as silver
men claim to which supposed appreciation they attribute en
tirely all decline in prices
WHY
Has the interest rate for borrowed money on a gold basis de
clined steadily?
IN 1873
The Government of the United States had to pay 6 per cent, in
terest on the public debt,
IN I896
The Government of the United States has to pay only 3 to 3J per
. cent, interest.
IN 1873
Three great grain-carrying railroads were paying from 7 to 10
per cent, interest on their bonds and the interest had to be met
by charges for transporting the farmer's wheat, corn and other
products.
IN 18 q 6
These same railroads pay an average of only about 3 per cent, in
terest on their bonds and the farmer gets the benefit of it in the
greatly reduced charges for transporting his wheat, corn and
other products.
INSTEAD OF BECOMING SCARCE AND DEAR, GOLD
HAS BECOME CHEAPER. IF IT. HAD NOT IN
CREASED IN QUANTITY MORE RAPIDLY THAN THE
DEMAND FOR IT THE INTEREST RATE WOULD
HAVE ADVANCED INSTEAD OF DECLINING.

WHAT MR. POWDERLY
SAID AT CLEVELAND
Text of His Address al the Big Rally
Saturday Night.
WHY HE ONCE FAVORED SILVER
Like Mnnjr Auother Man He Was De
ceived by Plausible Statement!
Which Proved t'pon Investigation
to bo Devoid of Truth-.McKiuley
ua a Fricud of tho YVorkinamnn.
Following in the text of the speech
lellvered by Terrefice V. Powdeily at
Cleveland, O., Sept. 19:
It appears that no little Importance Is
attached to the fuel that I ut one time
favored silver. Ho ninth haH been wild
about the matter that you will, I hop",
pardon me for hrlelly alluding to It In
jiussliu,'. It H a fact that I favored silver,
and It Is also true that 1 labored earnestly
to keep it In Its proper place us money in
the currency of the 1 'tilted Suites. It Is
not true that 1 ever made speeches on the
l in si ion or that I ever favored the free
and unlimited colii'inc of silver at the
ratio of Iti to 1. 1 will confess that at that
lime I was in the position which a grout
many of our free silver advocates now
find themselves ill, 1 del not fully under
stand the question. That I may be op
posed to sliver Is not so Important as that
.Mr. llryaii. in his letter of acceptance. Ig
nores the question. It Is fair to presume
that he. too, has been studying, and If be
h:is he can, as an honest man, come to but
one conclusion; that the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of Pi to 1 will
place us on a silver basis In the t'nll"d
States, drive gold from circulation, and
that, too, without asking- the consent of
uny other nation.
In the December number of the North
American Review, 1K!H, I wrote an nrtlide
by request of the publisher, on the work
ing man and free silver. I'p to that time
I had given no attention to the subject,
and In writing the paper I was guided
largely by statements made by Senator
Stewart of Nevada, that at thu behest of
the owners of gold "silver was secretly
and stealthily demonetized." When thnt
article appeared. John Jay Knox, who
was the sub-comptroller of the treasury
In 1873, wrote me, and umong other things
said:
TOLD OP HIS ERROR.
"You are In error, however. In your
statement In refernce to the surreptitious
passage of the coinage act of 17;i. 1 send
you herewith a history of the legislation
upon that act and request you will read
the brief pnrnxrph which I have marked,
and then be so kind as to wrlto me if you
are not fully sntlsnd that every effort
was made by those who ptvnared the act
nnd discussed It In congress to have the
proposition for the discontinuance of the
coinage act fully understood. If any one
Is to blnmo for the discontinuance of the
coinage of the dollar It Is the senator and
representative from the Pacific coa?t, who
well knew the contents of the bill and
never at any time proposed the eontlnu
nnee of the oolnago of the present sliver
dollar."
When I reached home nnd read Mr.
Knox's letter I eould not find the matter
he alluded to, anil on the day I wrote hltn
for a duplicate I learned of his death. I'ii
to thnt time no uctlon hnd been taken by
any organization with which I was con
nected on the silver question. Subsequent
ly conferences were held between the
Knights of Labor and the Farmers' Al
liance, nnd out of these conferences grew
tho platform of the People's party, which
In the main was based upon the preamble
of the Knights of Labor.
And. by the way. In that preamble you
will find no reference whatever to the
silver question; on the contrary It, If car
ried out literally, would be opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at any
ratio, tor It Insists upon the government
having absolute control and regulation of
the Issue of all money. In July, lSflU, I re
ceived several communications from mem
bers of the Knights of Labor In the silver
state requesting thnt I go to the silver
conference to be held In Chicago on Aug.
1 of that year and there represent them
as favoring the coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to 1. 1 complied with their In
structions, and based the remarks made
by me at that convention entirely upon the
statements contained in the letters nnd
telegrams which I received. The speech
which I made at that convention was
never fully or fairly reported, and In It I
expressed the sentiments of a constituency
without regard to my own views of the
matter. At that conference I was told
that a Frederick A. LuolfOTibach had
made aflldavlt to the fact that the con
gress of the I'nlted States had been sub
sidized io demonetize silver In 1S73. I
wrote the cldk of the Supreme court of
the state of Colorado, who sent me a
printed copy of the affidavit and a certifi
cate over the seat of the state that It
was genuine. I received from another
gentleman named James Henshall. then
residing In Denver, a letter In which he
gave mc Mr. Luckenbach's address, and
on Aug. 31, 1893, I wrote as follows:
NO ANSWER.
"Frederick A. Luckenhach, esq. Dear
Sir: During the canvass of 1892 I saw.
In the western papers, what purported
to be an affidavit made by you before ths
clerk of the Supreme court of Colorado,
The affidavit gave the details of an In
terview between yourself and Earnest
Beyd, of London. I Inclose with this a
copy of that aflldavlt and request that
you certify to me over your own signature
whether It Is the one you swore to. Do
me the favor to return It with your an
swer, for, as you see, I have marked It so
that I may continue the thread of an In
vestigation I ii ni prosecuting upon this
subject. Mr. Miller, clerk of the Supreme
court or Colorado, nas been Kind enougn
to send me a similar one and a certificate
stating that. It Is genuine. Assuring you
that I will make good use of the document
and thanking you In advance for your
favor, I remain,
"Very truly oyurs,
"T. V. Powderly."
To that letter I received no answer, and
wrote him ngnln In a similar vein, but
no attention was given to It. T called ut
114 West Eleventh street on two separate
occasions, when in New York, but could
never meet with Mr. Luckenhach. and I
then pursued the investigation in another
way. In Mr. Seyd's statement ns alleged
to have been made to Mr. Luekenbach I
find these words:
"I went to America In the winter of
1S72-3. authorized to secure, it I could, the
passage of a bill demonetizing silver." On
making an Investigation I discovered that
the bill which dropped the sliver dollar
from the coinage was presented to con
gress In April, 1870, and at the time that
Mr. Seyd was supposed to have traveled
over hi re ito procure tho passage of suvh
a bill, it had been pending in congress then
nearly three years, had been under con
sideration during five sessions of the
national legislature.
Its introduction was due to recommen
dations made to congress by Mr. llout
well, secretary, and by Mr. Knox, who dis
tinctly stated that the sliver dollar, which
hnd not been In use for a number of years,
and which was rated at Its bullion value
In the market higher than gold, could not
be retained In the currency. The silver
dollar was being worked into articles of
silverware because It' was cheaper to
work over the silver dollar than to buy
silver bullion with if. The bill had been
read at length In the Senate some seven
times. It hnd been read In the house and
discussed there. On seven different occa
sions It was reported from committees, it
was printed several times and Placed be
fore thn members of the house and senate i
some thirteen times before linal action
was taken on It. The hill which was first
reported did not provide for the coinage of
nny silver dollar whatever, and made pro
vision only for the coinage of subsidiary
pieces half dollars, quarters ami dimes.
That bill passed the senate In Jnnuarv,
171. and which Senator William SI. Stew
art sat In his place us u member of that
body. The nllidavlt made by Mr. Lueken
bach was simply, to my mind, n sham, a
delusion and a snnre, utterly misleading
and dishonestly Intended to mislead. In
order to make It fit all sides of the c.iRe
nnd to dove-tnll In ns a piece of evidence
sulllelently strong to escape Itelng ruled
out of cort he, Jdr. Seyd, should have vis
ited America before the bill had been In.
troduced, acted upon and passed.
NO CRIME OF '73.
T made an earnest and an honest effort
to fortify the position which favored the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of Pi to
1, and failed to obtain proof. I discovered
while prosecuting my search that the al
leged crime of 1S73 was a fabrication pure
and simple, and that In basing my letter
In the North American Review upon tho
statement tnnde by the senator of Nevada,
I had used as a foundation for I he article
what I now believe to be a willful, delib
erate nnd premedltnted lie.
Had the silver men been actunted bv
honest methods they would have made as
strenuous an effort before 1S73 to work oft
their silver In unlimited quantities, but
at that time enough sliver to make a dol
lar of was worth 31.03 and you could not
draw these patriots who are now clamor
ing for free sliver up to the mint to have
their silver coined nt that pipe with a
yoke of oxen. If the amount now required
to make a dollar broutht I1.n;i In the open
market you would today llnd our silver
mine owners vigorously and actively op
posing free coinage at the ratio of Pi to 1.
We nre told that ell this battle Is for the
laboring man: that the reason the silver
mine owners take such an Interest In the
laborer Is because of their desire to enable
him to purchase what our fanners pro
duce, and In such a way ns to enhance the
prices paid for farm produce. If cheap
money Is what they would give th. work
man is not pnper the cheapest of all ma
terials, mid Is It not preferable as money?
Lut they say sliver Is Indestructible and
paper is easily destroyed, an.l for that
reason we should use the silver. If that
argument holds good why may not the
owners of aluminium demand the free
coinage of aluminium? It Is lighter,
cheaper and fully us enduring as silver;
It does not tarnish or rust and the sup
ply Is Inexhnustlblc. Why not coin that
instead of silver?
Let us admit that I have changed my
mind, and I do not admit that I have done
so by any means, for It was always my
Idea that silver, paper and gold should nc
used in the currency of the nation In such
a way thnt neither one would have the
advantage of the other. Silver Is no more
the poor man's than gold, for there are
us many worklngmen engaged In the pro
duction nnd manufacture of gold as of
silver. The sliver men have It In thir
power to Increase the demand for silver,
for they tire among the wealthiest men In
the world. I'nder the act of Feb. 12, 1K7S,
the silver dollar is "a legal tender for all
debts nnd dues, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated In
the contract." Search the records of our
western states, look Into the contracts
made by the owner ct sliver bullion, and
you will Invariably find the words "In
coin" or 'In gold." tf they were sincere
and true to the faith they profess they
should create a demand for silver by In
serting In all their contracts the words:
"Payment shall be made In silver."
WHAT OF DEMOCRACY?
But If I have changed my vlewa what
shall we say of the Democracy? The Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania assembled at Al
lentown last April, nominated a ticket and
adopted a platform. In the platform thev
said: "We are unalterably opposed to the
free and unlimited colnnge or sliver nt
the ratio of 1 to 1." The Democrats of
New Jeisey met a few months ago ami
adopted a similar platform. The Demo
crats of Maine held their state conven
tion and adopted a platform with words
bearing the same construction. Then
came the Chicago convention, at which
Mr. Ilryan In a hurricane of words blew
himself Into the nomination for the presi
dency and we now find a change In all
or the platforms of the states I have
named. Two weeks ago the Pennsylvania
Democracy met nt Harrlsburg and proved
thnt they were alterable by changing their
plstform to favor the free nnd unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio which they
denounced but four months before. The
Democracy of New Jersey and of Maine
followed suit.
The Individual may change quickly, but
where three whole states change so sud
denly It cannot be conviction, education
or a study of the question which brought
about the change. Four years ago the
People's party adopted n platform similar
to that on which Mr. Watson, of Georgia
Is now running alone. That platform fa
vored the free and unlimited coinage of
sliver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and nearly
every man in our eastern states and in
many of our western states who are now
shouting for Bryan were then bitterly de
nouncing the platform which they now
profess to believe In. It is not so much
the money question as the work question
which we are to settle, for If we settle the
work question by opening our mines, mills
and shops the money question will settle
Itself. In this campaign, as In others, ro
little mud is being; thrown, but up to the
present time none of K has been aimed at
the standard bearer of the Republican
party, William McKlnley. The attempt It
made to show that some of those who fa
vor him have been oppressors of labor,
but how about Mr. McKlnley himself?
Let me read to you a letter received from
a neighbor of his. and then Judge:
"I have been recording secretary of
Chapman Local assembly Pil, Knights cf
Labor, for the past sixteen years. That
assembly was organized twenty years ago
and has never left or ceased to work dtir.
ing all of that time. I read with great in
terest your Cooper's union address, and
inasmuch as you have championed the
sound money principle in behalf of labor,
I deem It fit nnd proper that you should
be informed of the true connection Will
lam McKlnley has wlthMabor. for I am a
resilient of the same county with him, and
I have had the pleasure of his acquaint
ance since boyhood. In 1874, when the coal
miners of the MnsMlllon district were
struggling for Justice, trouble arose and
In one of the mines where blacklegs wore
employed it resulted In what some people
were pleased to call a riot. A large num
ber of miners, myself among them, was
arrested for riot. We were then without
a cent to secure legal advice to assist us
In our hour of distress.
MKINLEY A FRIEND.
"Major McKlnley, then a practicing at
torney at Canton, our county seat, was
approached by our committee and In
formed of our true condition financially
and other wise. He at once said: 'I will
take charge of your case and do the best
I can for you.' The result was he had us
all acquitted except one, and that one
while sentenced for one year, was par
doned after serving four months through
the direct Influence of Major McKlnley.
When we resumed work and had con
tributed what money we could spare from
our first pay to mnke a part payment to
McKlnley for his excellent legal services
in our behalf, he Inquired of our commit
tee ir they had called on his associates In
the case to pay them. I'pon being In
formed in the negative, he said: 'Hoys,
take what money you have and pay them
as far as It will go. and my services, know.
Ing your circumstances, will cost you
nothing.'
"It was then that Major McKlnley was
given n mortgage on the friendship of the
Mlsslllon miners, that continues to re
main on record. His respect for laboring
men has been practical, for he has got Into
our mines and selected men from our
ranks to appoint to responsible positions,
thereby proving that he is not the man
to forget his laboring friends. Remember
In this connection that I am not one of
his uppolntees to office, directly or Indi
rectly. I glory in McKlnley from the fact
that ho never despised an honest labor
ing man, no matter how or where he finds
him. I have proven this to be true to my
full satisfaction, and the proof of the pud
ding Is In the eating thereof. (Signed)
William Finny."
I have received scores of letters approv
ing of my course, but that one seems to
describe the friendship of laborlngmen
for McKlnley so well that I give It to you
just as It came to me.
Questions which every honest farmer,
every laboring man nnd every wage
earner should consider before casting his
vote are, did the fall In the commercial
price of sliver change the price of arti
cles entering Into use In every home,
or did tho wizard Invention through Im
proved machinery simplify methods cf
production ami competition so far as to
bring about these results? Let me com
pare the prices of articles In use In 1870
and today.

Professing to be a patriotic citizen I
am opposed to the United States govern
ment going Into bankruptcy voluntarily
with the intention of settling with our
creditors at 53 rents on the dollar. Who
are the creditors of this nation? Every
man and woman who has something to
buy or sell, and particularly every man
end woman who works for a living.
From the minute a man or woman en
gages in labor until that labor is paid for
he or she is a creditor, and knowing the
hopes and alms of honest labor I believe
that the only coin which will be satis,
factory or acceptable will be the coin
worth 1W cents on the dollar In gold In
every part of the earth.
