SOME FACTS ABOUT MONEY. There is not gold. money enough in the world to buy the property of the one state of Minnesota at its cash price. There is not gold and silver money enough in the world to buy the prop- erty of two states of the wealth of Minnesota at a fair cash valae. Some persons—worse than idiots, because they know better—tell us we might be flooded with silver, the life blood of business. All the gold and silver money of the world could likely be stored in the Minnesota state house, especially if it was in bars, ‘There is not enough gold and silver . money known in.the world to average tive dollars foreach person. There is not known to be gold and silver enough on earth or in the earth to make a solid mile, and yet if there was it could not likely be all taken out in thirty thousand years. Yet those féllows who have money to lodn to governments, want to make us believe we iiight be flooded with the life blood of business—money. Some will tel] you that business is done.mostly by checks, and for that reason we -do,not need so much money. Money, note or mortgage has to be : behind every check or the check is a andard .géfd is one dollar if sk*hitu why Jaw compels the bank “of England to’pay 3 pounds, 17 shill- ings and ‘9 pence for each ounce of gold that ‘is ‘offered at said bank, if jother countries for a single gold tainly the duty of congress to coin on demand or step down and out and give place to a congress that will coin mouey. Congress was given the power to place the yalue on the coin, that is to say what number of grains of silver should be in a dollar and what num- ber of grains of gold should be ina dollar. That being done, congress has no power to refuse said number of grains being coined into a dollar and congress has no power to say that one of them shall pot be legal tender for debts of any kind. Congress cannot give any individual a right to demand either one of the coins as against the other without trampling under foot the debtors constitutional right to pay in gold or silver coin whichever he may have. A little reasoning, mixed with a little common sense would settle this point in the mind of anyjupprejudiced ‘ judge. James G. Blaine: “On the much vexed and long mooted question as to the bimetallic and monometallic standard, my own views are suftl- ciently indicated in the remarks I have made. I believe the struggles now going Onin this country, and in standard, would, if successful, pro- duce widespread disaster in and throughout the commercial world. The destruction of silver as money and establishing gold as the sole unit of value, must have a ruinous effect on all forms of property, except those investments which yield a fixed re-|, turn in money. ‘Those would enorm- ously enhanced in value and would gain a disproportionate and un- fair advantage over every species of property. If, as most re- liable statistics affirm, .there are nearly $7,000.000,000 of coin or bullion in the world; very equally divided be- tween gold and silver, it is impossible to strike silyer out of existence as money without results: which will prove distressing to millions and ut- terly disastrous to tens of thousands. I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the constitution; in- deed, the money of the American peo- ple anterior to the constitution, which the great organic law recog- nized, as quite independent of its own existence. No power was conferred | on congress to declare either metal | should not be money. Congress has, | therefore, in wy judgment, no power to demonetize either. If, therefore. law has nothipg to do with it? If law did not fix the price on gold the syndicates who control and corner gold could put any price tosuit them- selves either in buying or selling it. But law fixing the price prevents them from doing that. They get laws passed, however, that only gold can be offered in final settle- ‘ment which shuts other money out * from competition. » They try to get laws passed or offi- cial rulings that interest on bonds must be paid in gold. The bonds are made to run several years so they get more than the face of the bond in gold interest and wence a demand for more gold. Hence, by shutting oat competition ju money, more labor and more prop-! should he undoue by honest men.” silver has been demonetized 1 am in favor of remonetizing it.

Ingersoll said: “For my part I do not ask any interferance on the part of the governmenrt except to undo the wrong it has done. I do not ask that money be made out of nothing. I do not ask for the pros- perity born of paper. But I do ask for the remonetization of silver. Silver was demotized by fraud. It was an imposition upon every solvent |- man; a fraud upon every honest btor in the United States. It as- inated labor. It was done tn the interest of avarice and greed and If congress is allowed to | ¥ other } , DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND PRIMARIES FOR Itasca County, Minn.
