His legs have never themselves under the mahog- y of millionaires. “The present attempt to turn the Democratic National Convention in- ruggle of the West and South nst the East is founded upon a lakon idea of the free silver said Mr. Bland. “‘Thecoming ight at the polls is to be between ihe productive masses of the United ‘BSiates and what might be called the Plund-owning classes. “The toilers of the East are just deeply concerned as the toilers of he West and South. It is no more a the interest of the men in the Tatern factories to have the agri- tltural laborers of the nation beaten the earth by a ruinous and cruel financial policy than it is in the in- st of the farmers to have their | flow workers in #iteed to starvation. “The workers of the country have ‘common cause now.

We may call 59 cents a dollar in the United States, but our national fiat ceases to have any authority when it passes beyond our own shores. It seems ¢o the World that the disaster would be instant and terrible.” The rugged old leader seemed to be waiting for this. He drew him- self up in his chair and gave himself ashake. His hazel eyes shone with enthusiasm. “There will be no panie,” he said. “Secretary Carlisle, in his Memphis speech,said that if the country went to a free silver basis there would be an immediate contraction of the cur- rency; $500,000,000 in gold would i here to be coined into American dol- | | give us such a period of prosperity | | would jcupied by Mr. vanish and a terrific fall in prices would follow the withdrawal of this gold from circulation. But he ad- mitted that this would be followed eventually by a rise of prices to a higher level than the present, when mouey became abundant. “Now, if people know that prices are going to§ rise in the end, they will discount the immediate effect of free silver coinage at 16 to 1, and prices will not fall very much at the beginning. The moment we author- ize that coinage the value of every ounce of silver in the world will be fixed. “The fact that we will coin all the silver brought to our mints, without limit and without regard to the mar- ket value of the metal, will immedi- ately fix the price of all silver bullion in China or Australia, as well as in London or New York. Frenchmen or Englishmen will send their silver here simply to have it coined into American dollars is ab- surd. They will not send their coin- ed silver,for the stamp already upon it makes it equal to gold in their own countries, and they will not send their « ‘ver bullion for the reason that they can sell it just as well in the American mints. Silver bullion would be used as mouey “The suggestion that Germans or!

A man in any other coun- try would not part with his silver at a lower price than he would get for it at the French mints. But when France stopped coining silver, that is to say demonetized it, the relative value dropped. “So I say if we open our mints to the free coinage of silver, declaring Ito all the world that we will aceept for one { sixteen ounces of silver ‘ounce of gold at @xactly the same | may be, will part with silver for less than he can get for it in the United States. the metal at less than the United > : titute the factor of greatest im- fet most important. “To-day a large part of the money tthe country is in a certain sense lance.
