Show into tho country. We are in favor of protecting our home Industries in a reasonable and equitable manner. To allow foreign silver to be'on the free coinage list, is not in accordance with our views. ' We I Want a free and unlimited coinage of silver, but let it be of the home product , Tlio True G-ospol. Tho" senate substitute or the house bond bill, if it could only become a law, would change the gloom of agricultural tmd business prostration as if touched by the wand of Prosperity. The bond bill and the senate substitute are 4 from two oxTjosite schools of fi-nance. fi-nance. One is tho school of tho money king and leads to extreme wealth for tho few and poverty and want for the millions; the other opens Up the pathway of independence independ-ence to all who are wise and industrious in-dustrious and lifts the weight of poverty from tho masses of the land. .One leads to low , prices for all the products of toil and low wages for the labor of the world, the other secures prices commensurate I t. with the true value of man's indust- ' ry and skill. One is the school of the purse proud and the oppressor, the other the school of humanity, basing its teaching upon the wis- dom and experience of mankind. -The senate substitute restores '; silver to its constitutional pedestal as a money metal. It opens up the mints to its coinage upon an equal-. equal-. ity with gold. It gives to it . what the framers of the constitution and the i first American congress con-. con-. f erred upon it, and that which they secured to it for the first 83 years of the nation's life. It supplies the treasury with ample constitutional money the money of the contracts under which all bonds were sold and paper money issued, and it provides pro-vides against a contraction of the currency, by requiring the reissue of the greenbacks when exchanged for coin. The bill for the free coinage of silver, the coinage of the silver seigniorage and the redemption of greenbacks with silver equally with gold will bo the platform upon which all truo patriots will unite in the pending presidential struggle and it will bo the shibboleth that will inspire them to victory. The foregoing is from the Eureka, Utah,. Democrat, but the editor does not go quite far enough, for we are in favor of the government govern-ment coining only the silver mined in the United States, so that our home mines can have their supply of silver turned into coin and not allow foreign silver to be brought |
