They Talk it Over. The following clipping Is published by request of a Ifoynnldsvlllo Hoptiblk-an: "So you bnlicve in free silver," said one wm kinKiimn to nnothur. "Yon, John, I think it would make bptt!P tlmrs. Hero wo arc, out of work half tho time, getting low wages when wo are lucky enough to find a job, and hardly knowing one week how next week's rent is to be paid. I'm sick of economizing and pinching and seeing my wife and children dress shabbily. Bryan says It's all owing to tho group ing greed of the gold gamblers and to our slavish submission to European dic tation. If we want to be prosperous we must decluro our independence and vote for free silver." "How are yon going to make silver free?" asked John, thoughtfully. "Hy ileellng Hryan, of course." "And then will silver dollars bo five, so that wo can help nurst.lves to themV "Well, not exactly that." "We'll still havo to work and earn them, won't we?" Certainly." "Well, then, what I want is steady work. I have always been satisfied with the kind of money I have been able to earn. Your free silver talk has nothing To do with tho ease." "Hut what 1 mean is tho five coinago of silver bullion into dollars." "Do you own any silver bullion?" asked John, bluntly. "No." "Well, neither do I, so I can't seo how we can be helped by a free coinage law." "It would produce more money, would It not?" "Not for us. It would be a big thing for a few mine owners, who are already worth millions upon millions. They want to double their wealth by having their silver coined at double its value, and pass out 50-cent dollars for 100 cents. But you and I could't get them any more than wo can now." "Perhaps not, but if money was plen ty business would revive." "You've got the cart bofore the horse," said John. "Busy workshops, plenty of work and good wages must come' first then money will circulate fast enough." 'How do you propose to got plenty of work and good wages?" "Well, 1 was pretty well satisfied four years ago, when employment was the rule and Idleness tne exception. American industries had protection then. But since that time we have im ported millions of dollars' worth of goods that we ought to have produced at home, and it's plain to me that the money paid for them don't go into the pockets or American lanorers." "That may be, but there's this infer nal gold standard " "Hold on a minute; what's the matter with the gold standard? "Kverything is the matter with It!" "Well, now I'll tell you why it's good thing. If yon have five dollars of silver or paper, and I have a five dollar gold pieco, your money is as good as mine, is It not." "Certainly." "Then you ought to bo satisfied, for the gold standard simply means keep ing an money as goud as gold in pur chasing power." But if silver dollars are as good as gold, why shouldn't tho goyernmont coin them without limit.'" "I will answer thut question by ask ing another. If paper dollars are as good as gold, why shoiiiun t the gov ernmont print them without limit?" "Thut is absurd. The government should not issue more money than it can keep up to par. "Exactly. And the same answer ap plies to silver dollars, which contain only about 60 cents' worth of silver. The government should not issue more of them than it can keep up to par that is up to the gold standard. "Oh, well, fi-om that point of view the gold standard may be all right." "Of course it is. Now my idea of tho situation is this: Unlimited silver coinage would not give me an extra day's work nor put an extra dollar Into my pocket. It would not be or the slightest benefit to anybody but a few rich mine owners. And li It should cut down tho value of silver dollars to their acuiat value as bullion, I would be swindled every time I was paid a day's wages, i'lenty of work and good money Is my motto, and I think the craziest scheme ever proposed is the Bryan plan to put out cheap dollars for the benefit of the silver ring, while doing nothing whatever lor the laboring classes. The poor man's dollar should be as as good as the rich man's dollar and I shall not vote to cut it down one-half. McKinlev is my man. He .struck it right when he said it was bettor to open the mills of the United states to the labor of America than to qpen the mints of the United States to the silver of the world." Uochester Democrat and Chronicle. Ernest Seyd was here. The "crime of 1873," and the bribery by which silver was demonetized "touched upon" by the Volunteer recent ly still remains the most gigantic of all crimes, the most stupendous of the age, affecting more people and entailing more misery upon .the human family than any crime since the full of Adam. Every attempt to explain and mitigate Dy gold bugs only leads deeper into the mire. The Volunteer in mm editorial in a reoetit issue quoted from the speech of James T. Mot'leary who "determined to state the facts of the case, that Ernest Seyd has not been lnthisoountry since Jtuu, thut his only connection with the bill was to write a letter to Mr. Hooper as other experts did. Now as opposed to this, Senator George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, a very good Republican authority, in a speech on the floor of the U. S. Senate in 1893 said: "Mr. Ernest 6eyd was an authority on all practical mechanical measures connected with coin. Mr. Hooper wrote to England asking his assistance in the matter. Mr. Seyd wrote blin quite a long letter early in the year 1872, and he then came here." Also in the "Bankers Magazine" of August 1873 we find the following on the subject: "In 1872, silver being demonetized in Franoe, England and Holland, a capital of 1000,000 was raised and Ernest Seyd of London was sent to this country with this fund as agent of t 'ro b'jnd-bolders and capitalist to effect tho same object (demonetization of silver), which was accomplished." Besides this Judge Kelly, who was In Congress In 1873, said that he saw the original draft of the bill and It was in Ernest Seyd's own handwriting. Hoar and Kolley were both In Congress In 1873, and McCleary was not. Both the Internal and external evidence show the act demonetizing Silver was boath a fraud and a crime, (iold bugs say tho bill was passed be cause a silver dollar was worth more than a gold dollar and consequently was leaving tho country. They found It necessary therefore to kill tho bird to keep it from flying away. How much more was It worth In 1873, the very year they struck It down? Only four mills, less than hnlf a cent. They say there was not much contest about It, not much opposition, that It was then generally conceded tho right thing to do. Is'nt it strange that this Government having only a few years before contract ed a large war debt "payable In coin" should strike down with one blow the principal source of payment? With about two billion of a national debt and with largo State, municipal and cor porate, debts, is'nt It strango that the American Congress, led by such men as Blaine, Allison, Thurman, Bright, Voorhecs, Kelly and others of our best and shrewdest statesmen should know ingly and wilfully strike down the coinage of our silver, the principal source of money for the payment of those debts, and that too for the sole reason that a silver dollar was worth four mills more than a gold dollar?
