THE HONEST DOLLAR.
IT CONTAINS 412 1-2 GRAINS
OF STANDARD SILVER.
Th* Gold Dollar Ifl the I>i*honr«t Dol-
lar Because IU Pnrchsilnj Tower la
IncreAfted by the Manipulation# of
Baukcrt n«l Their Alliee,
la the Chicago Daily Record of May
10 Edward Atkinson repeats the defini-
tion of honest money given in his ar-
ticle of April 26: "Coins which, being
melted down, retain the entire value
for which they w. re legal tender be-
fore they were melted." With thhi defi-
nition as a foundation he builds up an
argument against the free coinage of
•liver, calling it a "dishonest money,"
and as such to be rejected £3 a coin
metal.
In another paragraph of the same ar-
ticle he admits or states a fact which
upsets his own conclusions by verifying
a principle which be ignores in bis ar-
gument.
He states that the silver coinage of
In.iia pojsi i a bullion value equiva-
lent to the value of the coins them-
selves until the closing of the mints.
After the closing of the mints the rupee
while not redeemable In gold as 1s our
silver money, yet as bearing the stamp
of government and made a legal tender
for the payment of debts had a greau-r
value than the equivalent weight of un-
coined silver. On the same principle
closing the mints of the world to gold
would cause the coined gold made legal
tender for the payment of obligations
to have a greater value than an equiva-
lent weight of gold bullion. His defini-
tion of unsoundness applies to all coin
money, for all money metals depend
for a part of their value on their use
for coinage purposes, and while of In-
trinsic value for use in the arts lose a
part of their value as compared with
other products when made the object
of unfavorable legislation which limits
or stops their coinage.
A sound dollar should represent a
certain amount of labor and be capable
of ready transformation Into any prod-
uct of labor. The rule is the world over
that what costs little labor to get Is
worth little. Blue sky may be quite
desirable, but as a product entirely of
natural conditions and not of labor it
is not counted as having material value.
When a promoter by artful persuasion
succeeds In getting money for some-
thing which has no value except in the
mind of the credulous purchaser he Is
said to have been seiling "blue sky."
The value of any commodity when car-
ried to its final analysis Is the value
of the labor expended to secure the por-
tion of the required supply which is
produced under the least favorable con-
ditions.
Disregarding the speculative element
In mining, which justifies greater ex-
penditures in prospecting and develop-
ment than are suro to be realized In
profits, the avcraga value of silver or
gold Is measured by the labor expended
in working the least productive deposits
*od reducing the poorest grade of ores
necessary to supply the world's de-
mand.
Coined money has an intrinsic value
which makes it universally acceptable,
because when melted up and used in
th arts it releases to other occupa-
tions labor which must otherwise be
expended in mining an equivalent
amount of metal for such use.
If the labor cost of producing the
metals remained the same, whatevor
the dorosud for them, if, in other words,
the proclous metals were merely a prod-
uct of labor, and not a natural product,
occurring in small and Isolated quan-
tities, an increased demand for any one
motal would bring about such an in-
creased production as would in a Bhort
time restore the equilibrium of values.
A corner In money would bo like a cor-
ner In wheat only maintainable for a
short time. An increased demand for
any precious metal causes the deposits
of that metal to be worked more closely
and a greater amount of labor expended
In proportion to the product, so that tho
labor cost of the most expensive por-
tion is greater and the value of the en-
tire product correspondingly increased.
When the amount of actual or re-
demption money in the channels of
trade falls to Increase as rapidly as the
commodities to be exchanged the result
must be a fall In prices unless tho short-
age In actual money Is made good by
an extension of credit. It Is not suf-
ficient that the amount per capita be
maintained, for the tendency in an In-
dustrial nation where property rights
are secure is toward a per capita In-
crease In all forms of wealth. What lb
called general overproduction of goods
is more properly underproduction of
money. We can never have too much
of everything, the consuming clauses
being in a position to buy, but so long
as our financial system Is based on the
use of gold and silver only as the money
of final redemption every period of in-
dustrial activity such as we call "good
times" will be accompanied by an ex-
tension of credit and is likely to be fol-
lowed by a period during which credit
is curtailed and a general fall takes
place, first In the money value of com-
modities and second, in the price of
labor. This recurrence of hard times
will continue until some means is found
of effecting exchanges In which the
metals will have no greater part than
other commodities.
The panic of 1893 nnt If94 Is a direct
result of the demonetization of silver
In 1873, the abandonment of silver and
the ub 'ltutlon of a gold currency by
several 1 Muling nations of Europe and
the hnlf-way character of tho remedial
legislation adopted by our government.
The downward tendency of prices
was well defined from 1873 to 1S78.
From 1878 the coinage of silver and
later the Ispue of treasury notes In pay-
ment of sliver purchases offset In a
measure the downward tendency and
brought about an era of good tlraos last-
ing uninterruptedly till 1885, when the
fall In the price of sliver resulting Id
a fall In Ute gold value of Argentine se
curltles caused the Baring failure
From this time the issue of treasury
notes nominally secured by silver bul-
lion but actually redeemable in gold
began to pass the point of safety. What
would have been far removed from in-
flation with silver and gold at a par-
ity became dangerous because resting
only upon a narrow foundation of
gold. The structure of paper money
was built higher at a time when half
the foundation (silver) had crumbled
away and the other half was being dug
into to supply the Increasing needs of
European nations. Coexistent with this
was great Industrial activity and a re-
sulting Increase in actual wealth. With
the volume of actual money constantly
diminishing and the volume of wealth
increasing a disturbance in the ratio
was inevitable.
In every market In which the natural
tendency of prices Is downward the fall
In prices is resisted by an accumula-
tion of stocks. The classes who buy to
sell at a profit will hold property once
bought as long as possible before sell-
ing at a loss. They will strain their
credit to the utmost limit before aban-
doning the effort to sustain prices,
mortgaging their property, borrowing
on collateral, exchanging accommoda-
tion paper and delaying the payment
of their bills.
It Is the misfortune of silver that it
has been "hanged first and condemned
afterward," Previous to Its demone-
tization in 1873 it was worth most of
the time more as bullion than when
coined at the ratio of 16 to 1.
It is proposed by its friends to re-
store to it the rights as a money metal
which It enjoyed prior to 1873, and
which were taken away quietly, almost
secretly, without any public demand
and without any of the reasons which
are now so clamorously urged against
Its restoration. That a re-establlah-
ment of the parity between gold an4
silver would benefit this country no
falr-iulnued man will deny. Whether
the commercial Influence of the United
States Is sufficient to stefti the tide and
offset the Influence of the European na-
tions who have adopted a gold standard
can hardly be ascertained without aq
actual test, but when we face the con-
tingency of gold going to a premium,
nothing la seen which will affect unfa-
vorably the prosperity of the country of
make such a change in values as would
work a hardship to the creditor class.
It has been argued that silver money
cannot be coined with sufficient rapid-
ity to replace the gold displaced. It lg
not necessary that It be coined at all.
There are In the treasury of the govern-
ment 369,000,000 silver dollars in addi-
tion to those now in circulation.
With this Immense reserve silver cer-
tificates calling for silver dollars and
made legal tender In the payment of
debts could be issued on the deposit of
bullion, and since there would be no
question of the ability of the govern-
ment to redeem Us promise would cir-
culate as the very safest form of paper
money, preferred for the settlement of
all large balances to the coin Itself.
The United States produced in 1S90
nearly one-third of the world's produc-
tion of gold. It will always as a nation
have gold to sell as a commodity in the
best market It can find. It mined In
1890 three-fifths of the world's produc-
tion of sliver, and so far from being
flooded in the event of free coinage with
sliver from India, China and Japan
will always have silver to dispose of at
Its market price in exchange for the
products of other nations and In pay-
ing principal and interest of Its securi-
ties held abroad. The United States, aa
a nation, is a debtor nation. The
greater part of Its debts were contract-
ed on a bimetallic basis when the dollar
measured In wheat was worth a bushel.
The Mi-itiuremcnt (if Values.
Money is the universal yardstick.
Now an honest yardstick must ulwayi
be thirty-six inchcs long. Whatever
length was laid off and called a yard at
the beginning must always b3 a yard.
If a merchant uses a yardstick only
thirty-two inches long he Is dishonest
and his yardstick is a dishonest yard-
stick. If on the other hand the cus-
tomer after contracting for cloth brings
a forty inch rod and insists on its be-
ing used an a yardstick he will be sus-
pected of dishonesty. When we com-
pare the value (money length) of all
staple commodities we tlnd J.'nt the
yardstick of value has been mado long-
er so that each dollar will purchase
more of almost everything than It once
could. The single standard dollar is a
dishonest dollar.
Legislation which will increase val-
ues by making our monetary unit a bl-
metall'c unit, raising the price of sll-
\ er and all other staple products and
releasing our gold to the settlement
of foreign Indebtedness lias not the
slightest element of dishonesty. It li
just because It will restore to tho prod-
ucts of American labor the debt-pay-
lug power which has been taken away
by class legislation.
It Is patriotic because it will promote
the prosperity of the whole country,
and do more than anything elso to se-
cure for It financial Independence.
For the United States to Join with the
money powers of Europe In the adop-
tion of a single gold standard Is to dou-
ble Its debts and to fasten around Its
neck forever tho chain of financial
servitude. It Is as mad an act as that
of self-destruction, and, if I may be per-
mitted an Illustration in dealing with
so serious a question, as unreasonable
and uncalled for a proceeding as that
of the man who sat on the limb of a
tree nnd sawed It off between where he
sat and the trunk. It Is time tho com-
mon senso and patriotism of the coun-
try should prevail. It is time that a
majority expressed In law their deter-
mination to see justice done between
the debtor and creditor classes and the
producing classes relloved from the
machinations of a granping, wealth-
absorbing, but not wealth-producing
combination.

. Tho Territorial Supreme Court con-
vened at Guthrie Monday morning,
with Chief Justice Dale and Associate
Judges Burford, Scott and Bierer, and
Court Clerk Edgar Jones present. This
ession promises to be the most inter-
esting ever held as a large number of
important cases are docketed for hear-
ing. The first matter taken up was
the John Dossct murder case Dosset
is an Osage half breed, aud in the Uni-
ted States court two years ago. was
convicted and sentenced to hang on
an indictment charging him with
pouring poison in the whisky of his
rival, John Fenlon. Dossct and Fen-
Ion were in love with a pretty Indian
girl named Sybil Denoya. They both
met her at a dance and some trouble
ensued. It is alleged the crime was
then committed.
Friday night Detective Sutton of
Wichita arrested Walter Doak in that
city and piaced him in tho city prison
to await the arrival of osllcers from
the Cherokee nation. The cause of
his arrest is unknown, but it is sup-
posed to be for some crooked business
' lone by him recently at tho paymeut
of annuities to the Indians The ar-
rest was made ou descriptions of the
man sent out by Colouel Emerson of
Vinita. Doak is said to be the last
man one would think to be a criminal.
He looks like a smart, prosperous
yeung business man. He has been in
Wichita for two weeks and was con-
sidered to be a young man of some
consequence. He dressed in the
height of fashion, wore tan shoes, the
swellest kind of a shirt, some dia-
monds, a hat of the latest approved
fashion and a beard cultivated and
trimmed with artistic taste. The fel-
lows who considered him "big pota-
toes" arc anxious to know whatLe has
done
An appeal from the decision of the
district judge at Oklahoma City in the
Choctaw injunction cane was filed in
the supreme court late Wednesday af-
ternoon. Tins is the case in which
the government seeks to have the
Choctaw Railway company enjoined
from going through the Kickapoo res-
ervation, instead of building six miles
south, as the original route was sur-
veyed and agreed upon. The road's
desire to go through the reservation
was to miss Tecumseh and start a
rival town of their own, because Te-
cumseh would not fully accede to their
demand for a bonus. Tho Kickaooo
reservation lias been opened to settle-
ment since the controversy began, but
as the road essays to go through nu
merous Indian allotments which are
held irk trust for the government, tho
government's attorneys claim no right
of eminent domain can exist againsl
their lands. This is but one of the
many reasons alleged by Judge Scott's
refusal that to grant an injunction
was not good law. The brief is one
of the most thorough and exhaustive
ever filed in the territory, being tho
work of ex United Stales District At-
torney Speed, who has been retained
on the case by Tecumseh people to as-
sist United States District Attorney
Brooks. The appeal covers 400 type-
written pages and cost 8100 to copy.
The case has been set for next Mon-
day, and will be ono of a large num-
ber of important cases to be handled
by the regular session of the supreme
court now being held . _
Great destitution is reported in a
strip of country embracing a part of
Grant county, Oklahoma. While
nearly all of the territory has had
plendid rains, there is a distance ex-
tending from four mile-- south of Enid
north a distance of twenty miles, al-
most to Medford, and from six miles
west of Round Pond east nearly to
Lamont, a distance of ten miles, where
there had been no rain since October
until last Friday. In consequence of
the serious drought of last summer
and this spring, here is neither
grain, garden vegetables, nor grass for
animals. The people in that drought-
stricken section aro in utter aud de-
plorable destitution. Many families
arc now without the common necessi-
ties of life, and they are compelled to
subsist in many cases on corn meal and
wuter and era* :cd wheat and water.
There aro many families which are
now without money to procure even
the coarse fond, and unless help is
forthcoming they must face the pros-
poet of starvation, An appeal in be-
half of the unfortunate inhabitants of
that section has been issued by the
Women's Aid Society of North Pond
Creek, Ok. Food, clothing and gar-
den seeds arc solicited.
