Keep I'ubtlc Good In View.
The Monroe Advertiser contains the
following sensible article on the finan
cial question npon <vh :h it seem- to us
all conset vative, unprejudiced men who
truly desire the genera! good, without
selfish or political antagonism to one
side or the other, could find iio trouble
in uniting. To such we commend a
careful perusal
“Fort Moultrie was the first point
against which the destructive missiles
of war were thrown in 18G1, hut Fort
Moultrie was not destroyed when the
four years of war were closed.
Nor will the wall of safe and sound
money be destroyed when the fuss and
fury now going on in this country is
over and the money question shall have
ended. On the contrary, that grand,
solid, impenetrable old wall will be
stronger than it is now. Because from
this fuss and fury the masses of this
country are learning that Hound money,
the product of a safe and wise financial
policy, is the best protection to their
interest, is the surest guarantee to pros
perity in the American republic.
Notwithstanding this evident fact,
some of the ranting, foaming ntwspu
pers of the country, that are wildly,
and we might say recklessly, advocat
ing tho free and unlimited coinage of
silver, are savagely and ferociously
butting up against this grand old wall,
thus trying to deceive the people into
the belief that it is unsafe, mushy rot
ten and is bound to fall down on all
creation and kill out the whole business.
Home of them would have their readers
believe that it is already in such a tot
tering condition in Georgia that it is
actually unsafe for capital to put its taii
across the state line, lest it be mashed
off.
But this grand old wall of sound
money is composed of true bimetalism
as mapped out in the national demo
cratic platform—it was erectod for pub
lic good, and it is going to stand. The
people are looking to the public good
and not to the cravings of politicians
hungering for oflice, nor to the greed
of silver mine owners. They see in
this wall the silver dollar as good as
tjie gold dollar ,jUiey >« nsit.protection
to their interests ; they see in it fixed
property values ; they soe in it a safe
aud sound financial policy.
There is a big effort being made
by some to blind tho hoiiust voters of
this country, who desire the public
good, to the fact that these things are
in sound money. This scheme is try
ing to bo worked by efforts to create
the impression upon the minds of tue
unthinking that sound money means
nothing but gold. This is a Blraiuc.l
effort to deceive the unsuspecting, it
is an attempt to put upou the country
a dangerous and hurtful iiuaucial poll
cy, but by which policy the leaders of
tho scheme would lie prolited.
And when the advocates of a sound
financial policy bring forward incou
trovertable facts to sustain their posi
tion, these schemers, fathering evil de
signs, begiu to cry, wolf, wolf!
The time now is in this country,
when its voters should look to the pub.
lie good when acting on all public ques
tions, and not permit themselves to be
led away from the public good into po
litical spider-webbed parlors wherein
is hurt aud ruin. Silver, silver, the
“dollar of our daddies,” is the slogan
of the silverite press. Fellow couutry
raen, be not deceived. The dollars of
our “daddies” and “grand daddies,”
were sound money, comprising both
gold and silver on a parity, mterchanga
ble, and of equal debt-paying and of
equal purchasing power.
Some leaders of the Democratic party
are beginning to talk about the party
getting together. That is not going
to be at all hard to do when the time
comes. In fact there is nobody apart
except a few who have purposes iu be
ing so, says an exchauge.

My views, in the main, on the money
question according to mv honest con
victions, and the best light 1 have on
the subject are embodied in my past
articles iu The Weeki.y. Though J
admit Borne of those articles have been
a little tinged with irony, as a sort of
flavoring, aud if other men equally as
incompetent to discuss such questions,
as myself had felt the incompeteucy
as keenly as 1 have, aud had kept
hands off lam sure I should have had
nothing to say on the subject.
But since brother “Cinciiinatus"
(whoever he may be) has done me the
honor to question me on the subject,
and mankind in general the justice to
admit that men may differ in opinions
and still be honest, 1 will say to him,
First, 1 don’t believe that “free sil
ver” would necessarily make money
more plentiful to “Cinciiinatus" and
Rural nor their neighbors than it is
uow. It would be more plentiful only
to the owners of silver. Now multiply
the number of your dollars by 2 aud
divide the value of this product by 2
aud you have the answer to your see
oud question. For you will doubtless
admit that cheapness aud inferiority
always iu ail things walk hand in hand.
Now contract with one of your
neighbors to pay him a bale of good
cotton tliis fall, and with another one
of them to pay you a bale of good cot.
ton at the Bamo time, aud let your
debtor when if is due tender you a bale
of “dog tail” worth only half price aud
you tender the same to your creditor
aud you have the answer to your third
question, for neither you nor your cred
itor could aCcept this bule of half priced
cotton only on the principle that a
“a half loaf is better than no loaf.”
Yes, reason teaches tue that cheap
money would enable the producer to
get more for his products provided only
that this cheap money was invested in
his products, but reason utterly fails to
teach me that fifty half value dollars
would be worth more than twenty five
full value dollars.
Reason also fails to teach me that if
our government should adopt a tinau
ciul policy that would make billionaires
of silver mine owners at tbo expense of
the government credit they would ap
preciate the favor so much as to make
their billions of cheap niouer cheap to
us by investing it iu our products, and
not rather dump it into the great trade
marts aud ceuters of wealth of the
world wliero the greatest opportunities
for speculative profits presents them
selves, just as other favored classes do.
What a power for evil against us they
might he. Did you ever think about
it?
The United Slates has besides her
gold and paper currency about $OOO,-
000,000 of silver coiu. every dollar of
which is of equal value with her gold
dollars. Is any other uatiou doing this
much for bilver ?
This coined silver amouuts to some
thing over $9 per capita or $45 per
family of live of her citizens. Has
“Cincinatus,” his family, community,
county or State got their pro rata share
of this coin ? If uot why not ? And
if uot bow would they get their share
if the amount coined were ten times as
great as at present or $9O per capita ?
