PEKKYTO THE PEOPLE.
A Kinging Address in Which He
Hives Kcasons for tin* Faith
that is in llim.
To the People of Banks County:
As you have seen from mv an
nouncement, I will come before yon
as a candidate for the Democratic
nommation tor Congress.
1 address you especially now to
ask that you do not net to hastily in
instinctual your delegates to the
nominating convention, and that you
first give me an opportunity to be
heard in behalf of the cause I repre
sent. 1 assure you it is the cause of
us all.
Six years ago the South seemed on
the high road to prosperity. It is
true we were suffering from bleeding
effects of the Republican high tariff,
and also from the lack of local cur
rency bv reason of the prohibitory i
tax on State banks of issue, but in
spite of tbesa evils, which the Dem
ocratic parly was manfully trying t - >
correct, our magnificent natural
resources lia brought us to the front.
Foreign capital had at Inst found us
out. Cities cprang up almost in a
night; mines were being opened,
mills started, railroads built-, and new
industrial enterprises were heard of
ori every side. However, when in
181)0 the silver miners of the West,
in the vain hops ol checking the fall
ing prices of that metal, renewed the
clamor fin free silver legislation, and
the Houth unwisely made cause with
them, capital—always timid—-took
wings and our blossoming greatness
was nipped in tlie bud. To day
what a change! We have had time
enough to be cured of the heresy.
No one objects to the use of silvet
an a money metal, blit every man
who loves Ins country ought to ob
ject to the standard of the do.lar
oeing lowered to suit the fluctuations
of silver. Every business interest
depends upon maintaining an uniform
standard of value. Any apprehen
sion of a change in tins throws all
business trails actions into confusion,
and checks all industry, all trade,
and all enterprise. Without a ccr
tain standard no one knows Ix w to
make a trade, hurt- to contract, how
to invest. Silver is valuable as a
part of our currency, but is only
freely accepted in trade m the smaller
transactions. The amount which
the business of the country will use
as money is therefore limited. Hut
gold, Ibd more previous metal, is
universally accepted the world over
in any amount try everybody and in
all kimb of transactions. There b
no limit to the amount of ;mld which
can he used as money, an - tlicri fore
it is universally the slumlord. Suffi
cient silver should be coined for all
purp ses of trade, but silver can only
be kept of equal demand with gold
by so regulating its coinage as not
to force any larger :u ount than this
on the ponple. The effort of the
free coinage men has been t < lift
silver to a position the God of Nature
never gave it. The proposition was
' to coin it m unlimited quantities and
j force people by law to take it as
! leg and tender for any aino mt. Strange
| to say, this unnatural effoit gathered
sttch support from unthinking people
j that business man lost confidence in
| our finances, gold went out of circu
lation, the currency wan contracted,
and a period of dis'rust and uncer
| Utility set in which has continued
j until the cry of distress goes up from :
i every comer of the land. The only
remedy is to put ourselves squarely
oil n sound basis, and this would
bring us better times in ten days.!
i I will say to all who favor silver that
1 am on my principles a truer friend
to that metal than any man who
favors its free coinage. The unlimi
ted coinage of silver would throw it
I upon its own strength, and it, would
; sink to its market value, and everv
I silver dollar would be degraded and
| debased, and. w hat is more we would
then have only that kind of money,
and bo actually without any money
in the true sense of the word. That
would be the real demonilizalion of
silver, lint government by controll
the coinage of silver keeps it on a
level with gold, and every silver
dollar of our four hundred million in
u..c here is worth a dollar throughout
the world. In fact with the country
committed unequivocally to tie ao.
cepted standard, and its credit thus
firmly established, we could perhaps
safely use in our currency even more
silvar than we can now. We might
then coin the seigniorage with pro
priety. I a.i, a true bimetalist, but
i-i no other way can we have both
metals as money.
I can truly say T have nothing al
heart but the good of my country,
and it is because I sue the wide
spread havoc which tiiis agitation
of the free coiling# of silver has
wrought that I have taken the field
against it. It is actually reducing
our people to beggary, and the only
ones benefitted are the money sharks,
speculators iu U. S. Bonds, and loan
companies who arc fattening oil of
our nece#sities. These latter -dreadv
have their holdings in every, l ook of
our God-given land, and if we do
not have relief we will soon be bett
ers of wood and dravveis of water to
these moneyed corporations. I speak
the words of truth and soberness.
W e are in the crisis of our political
history. [The fate of our ebb
ddren’s children hangs in the bal
ance, and no man can afford to b- in
different. For the sake of home and
country put the seal of your "con
demnation on this Populistic financial
heresy. Do not leave the sell Icon i 1
o' these <pu stiolis in the band -of in
terested politicians, but demand fail
opportunity to art with delibraiion
and to express yourselves at the pri
rnarics Watch the action of the
National Democratic Convention ii.
Chicago. If that doe not come cut
for sound money 1 could not consist
ently ask a a nomination. But if that
convention, as iL assuredly will, puts
our party squarely upon the sound
money plattonn how can you eon list
.cully select as a standard bearer one
who favors free coinage ? As for my
self and the cause 1 repn si nt l only
ask fair play. This every honest mao
will concede.
It is impossible to argue the ques
tion fully in u newspaper article, but
I hope soijii to address you fin to
face. Respectfully,
