Sumter, S. C. Opposite Bank of Sumter. IF WE WANT SILVER RESTORED, WE MUST DO IT OURSELVES. The so-called "silver men" in the United States have no desire to block the way to a just and proper inter national agreement for the restora tion of bimetallism. If the monetary system known by that name is a good one, or if it is better than gold mono ~metallism, it follows, as of course, that it cannot become a bad thing if procured by international agreement. But we do not believe such an agreement with the leading commer cial nations is within the scope of reasonable probability under existing conditions. The two nations whose -concurrence is deemed essential are England rad Germany. The finan cial policy of both countries is abso lutely controlled by the creditor classies. It is true that the best eco nomic thought of Europe, both in England and on the continent, is in favor of bimetallism. But this "eco nomic thought" is not the controlling force in European politics. While the great arguments in favor of bi metallism are unanswered, and will remain unanswered, it is not appar ent that any progress has been miade toward its re-establishment. In truth, the tendencies seem to be the other way. The reason's perfectly plain. The monied men, who constitute the world's great creditors, are benefited by the appreciation of money. It enables them to collect their pay in money more valuable (i. e., of greater purchasing power) than that which they loaned. Now and then we find a man whose generous instincts lead him to surrender a pecuniary advan tage. But such men are few, and as a rule they do not belong to the class of professional money lenders. The latter are altogether insensible to ar gument based upon moral and equit able considerations if those consider ations are opposed to their interests. When dealing with the money lend ers themselves argument in favor of enlarging the money volume is sim ply wasted. These same classes are all powerful in shaping the financial policy of their respective governments. There is ro form of wealth so potential as ready money. We know something of its power in our own politics. The banker controls the "business man," the business man controls his em ployees, and together, they, in a large measure. control the elections. In Europe, where universal suffrage is unknown, where the governments are either practically in the hands of a single man or of a select few, it necessarily follows that the distinctively "creditor classes" constitute a relatively greater "pow er" than they do here. They not only influence the elections in coun tries where elections are held, but they influence the leading "states men" and, in a large measure, dictate their policy. Noteethe attitude of Mr. Gladstone. There are great industrial and com mercial interests in England that are most injuriously affected by the de monetization of silver. Yet, even when "international bi metallism" is suggested, he opposes it strenuously upon the ground that England is a creditor to the amount of $10,000, 000,000, and would be injured by the adoption of bimietallism. He understands that the demonetization of silver raised the value of gold, and that its remonetization will lower it again.- So, ignoring all the other in terests of his country and looking to those of the creditor classes alone, he sets his face firmly against a policy which will tend to lessen the value of; the gold which they are wringing from their ufortunate debtors all* over the world. Note again the attitude .of the present- British ministry. It is a well known fact that most of its members ma mavodl bimetallists. Mr. Ba. D. J. CHA 0r o 1I .

C * * * There is certainly nothing in the ir one of the English press to inspire p onidence in the success of an effort g for international bimnetallism. In a b ecent issue of the Washington "Post" a ppears the following : e London, April 14.- The "Globe" St. ames "Gazette" and Pali M1all "Gazette," his afternoon all ridicule the idea of the,4 Lnited States bimetallic mission having:g ay practical results. The Daily "XJa:l's-' Paris correspondent'. eports that he hau an inteiview with the si inancial delegate of the Russian govern- lo nent regarding the American bimettalice ti ommission. 'The delegate asserted posi-:s Lively that 31. de Witte's financial policy is , ow definitely accepted by Russia, which is S rrevocably committed to the gold standard.e -e added, that in his opinion. Great JBnt- st in, -Austria and Germany would place in-: uperable difficulties in the way of the doption of international bimnetallhsm. 0 The papers named in the above ex- o: ract are, with the "Times," the most ifluential in Great Britain. The fol owing is what the "Great Thunder er" had to say immediately after the se Aerican commissioners were ap- .. ointed: sc "We believe that all the indications inb urope and the far East point to the failure f such an undertaking. It is improbable that all the enthusiasm of Senator Wolcott, I ombined with the business abilities of MI in ane and the Democratic silver sympa og thies of ex.Vice-President Stevenson, will. bring about the conference desiredl by' resident MceKinley. It is still more i'm- t9 robable that the commission ,viil atrect' anything without a conference. "Separate agreements with the Unite States are out of the question when the ations of Europe do not wish to agree0 tmong themselves in favor of bimetallism The commission will have a good time and will be received everywhere with courtesy Prsdent M1eKinley will be able to pi't to its labors as redeeming his electiou oi rmises. and to their failure as showing that if America wants tree silver she maust procure it for herself at her own risk. "The sooner these points are made clea '. the sooner may we expect Americati busi- v ness to assume a more healthy appearance. o~ t may therefore be hoped that this rovin ommisson will not unduly protract itsin teresung but futile ex[perimnents upon thec stability of the tinancial convictions now W overning European policy." t. The "American International Bi etallist" will do well to study the oregoing with some degree of~ care. he "Times" is unquestionably right e both in declaring that the effort will C e barren of results, and that if merica wants silver restored, she ust do it herself. 'That is exactly hat the "silver" men have alwayst said and what they say now. * * * th Germany will make no move with out the concurrence of England. It as will be remembered that when Count as erbach's resolu tion favoring inter- P1 national bimnetallisnm passed the Gr'- ex man parliament about two years ago,' t as loaded down with a proviso which made it only effective in thme IeI' event of England's concur'ring.

Under such circum- q ances no country would have any p lvantage over another growing out a 'the difference in exebange-that P the difference in the relative values ~ their currencies. t To do this, it would not be neces- " rv for the United States to take "all I: e silver in the world," as we hear it ~ broadly declsred. Nothing but a e surplus stock could possibly come a ~re. This ought to be obvious to h vone who thinks for a moment P e silver coin of the world is already' " use, and it is of more value to the g eners right where it is than it n >uld be if sent to America. If we a: ke care of the surplus bullion, that e :es the value of the entire stock of b .ver in the world, and there would i no motive in transporting it from o. le country to another. 1 If, on the other hand, this surplus sI ock should prove to be larger than c could absorb and use at the ratio d 10 to 1, the effeet would be to send ld to a premiumn. There are many ec ry intelligent men who believe that t( is would he even more to our ad .utage than the actual restoration 2 parity. Whether they be right or is rong, it is at least susceptible of a athematical demonstration that 13 th the free coinage of silver, even t ough gold were at a premium, we e >uhl be better off, as a nation, than m1 Sare today. In the first place, gold w a premium would not be gold lost. I" it left the country, it would in ease the stock in Europe wvhere the ti ot of our great staples are sold, et ke it cheaper and thus give us St tter prices for our products. ;, Tha't which did not leave the coun- f Swould stl be in the banks, where iI: is now, and constitute a p'art of ei enir eserves, thus performing the g< outary function just as effectually Pt at the present. The gold men somte that the moment it goes to a g emiunm it is virtually blotted out of' se istence, which is absurd. g A second and equally important b ect would be that it would give us w advantage over Europe similar to lo it which silver using countries er ce enjoyed during recent years. Inc t only would it operate as a pro-f m< tie aftoi keep foreign products go it of our market, but it would very rgely enable us to invade the for gn market itself. Oriental nations, sing silver, would buy in America ther than in Europe, because with they could adjust their balances ithout loss, while in dealing with urope they would suffer heavily by ason of having to pay a premium 3 gold. Consequently, they would ther keep their money at home and anufacture for themselves, or make ieir purchases in the United States. Not only would it give us an ad mitage over Europe in South Amer a and Asia, but it would give us an lvantage even more important in ir relations with Europe direct. uropean goods would be excluded om the American market, just as iey have recently been from the tarkets of Mexico, India, China and 1pan. At the same time on many nes we could undersell the Eu >pean manufacturer in his home arket. This matter will be dealt ith more in detail in subsequent is ies. Our purpose now is merely to ring out the general fact that even ith gold at a premium, if we bad ee access to silver for monetary use, e would be better off than we are pon the gold standard. There is nothing that the creditor asses of Europe so much dread as dependent action by the United tates. If it should restore parity be veen the metals it would make their old less valuable than it is now, and iey would lose some of their pres 2t unjust advantages. If it should ot restore the metals to par, and iould place us in the column of sil r-using nations, it would still make ieir gold cheaper, because our de and for it would be withdrawn and ;ain they would lose. Besides all is, it would give us such advant es in manufactures and trade that ie productive industries of Europe ould be so crippled that she would e forced to bimetallism as a mere atter of self-preservation. In op. sing either an international agree ient or the free coinage of silver by ie United States alone, it is redicu >us to believe that the "money pow c" of Europe is seeking to benefit s. Obviously it is afraid of getting art. It would get hurt; and in no spect of the matter could it do us ny possible harm. So we conclude by reaffirmina the :atement of the London "Times"that we want silver restored we must dc ourselves -National Bimetallist. NOT AFTER STOKES' SEAT. Sheriff D. J.

There must be >me reason for this. Is it because ie young people have become worth 'ss. or is it because times are harder ran they used to be?

If times are really hard, ud there is no remedy, and they ust continue to grow harder and arder, the dark ages are again ap roaching.

Yvrk. by the governments and banks of Europe and New York, and they say we must look to Europe for relief, and that if Europe will not let our government have gold with which to make money the government is not to blame, because it cannot make money out of anything else. If that be so and the goldites are right, there is no remedy, and ruin is inevitable. But is it true? Is gold the only money which the government has power to create and furnish the peo ple? If that be so, when did it be come true that the sovereign power of the government to create money by law was confined to the commod ity gold? It was decided by all the judges of England three hundred years ago, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, that whatever the royal prerogative declared to be money was real money, and would perform all the functions of money, no matter upon what material the sovereign stamp of the government was placed, signifying the sovereign will that it should be money. That decision has never been overruled, set aside or modified in the slightest degree, and is to this day the law of England. The Supreme Court of the United States, in the legal tender cases. fol lowed that leading case in England, which is known as the "mixed money :ase," and decided that the govern ment of the United States can issue full legal tender money. printed on paper, without either gold or silver. The Constitution expressly author izes Congress to coin silver into m'ney, as well as gold, and this was done until 1873, when the bill, de monetizing silver, was smuggled through Congress. Is it possible that the act of Congress which de monetized silver has deprived the government of its constitutional power, and relieved it of its constitu tional duty to coin silver as well as old, and furnish more money to the people than can be furnished by gold alone? As absurd as such a sugges tion is, it is the foundation of all the arguments of the goldites in Europe and America. Six and a half millions of the peo pie of the United States declared in the last election that it was the duty of the government to coin silver as well as gold, and give relief from the present scarcity of money to the full extent which the unlimited coinage of both metals can furnish. But we go further, and deny that the gov ernment is confined to metals, or to any other commodity for material upon which to stamp or print money. There is not a civilized government in existence which has not at some time stamped or printed on paper the law which made it full legal ten der money. This proposition was declared to be true in the mixed money case three hundred years ago, and it was also declared to be true by our own Supreme Court in the legal tender cases. In view of these facts, those who contend that the commodity gold alone must be used for money, and that the people must have no money if the combination which has cornered that commodity will not let the government have it, are wrong. The whole trouble is the failure of the government to perform its duty. We ask what is the reason why the government has failed to perform its duty and furnish an adequate sup ply of money The reason is that the same men wvho have cornered the gold in the world have control of the government of the United States, and it is for their interests to confine the money of the world to the com modity which they own or control. Why do the people elect presidents who belong to the gold combination? We answer because the gold comnbi nation controls all the money in the world, and can hire the press, and any other invention which can be used to spread or circulate lies and deceive the people. Besides, when they are not able to fool enough of the people to make a majority, they have thus far succeeded in buying or intimidating the required number to make it possible to count a majority for the gold trust. What, then, is the remedy? We answer there is but one remedy, and that is the ballot, if the people would take the matter into their own hands, and see to it that their votes were counted, they could elect a President who does not belong to the gold combination, and who would not sell out to that combination. Relief can come in no other way. if the people will not do this, times must grow harder and harder, until barbarism takes the place of the civ ilization of the Nineteenth Century.
