DENVER MAN GIVES
CURE FOR HARD TIMES
(By H. G. Fowler)
The United States to accept sil
ver from the silver-using, silver
hoaring countries, chiefly China
and India, at a fixed price of 75
cents an ounce, in exchange for
products manufactured or grown in
the United States.
United States to accept silver at
75 cents an ounce in payment for
war debts (principal and interest)
from foreign countries, discarding
the moratorium.
Relieve unemployment by large
construction program all over the
United States, under direction and
supervision of army engineers, at
fixed wages of $2.50 per day open
to all, teams with driver at $5 a day,
no modern road machinery to be
used so as to give maximum em
ployment to men and teams.
If the merchant of India can use |
silver at 75 cents an ounce, the
peasant will dig down into his
hoard and begin to buy from United
States. Silver will come out of hid
ing and marked stimulation of;
commerce result. Other countries
in order to secure share of trade
would have to establish a similar
basis for silver, thus offsetting dif
ference between present silver price
and fixed price of 75 cents an
nounced by United States. With the
silver-using nations (nearly half
the population of the wrorld) again
in the market, overproduction
would be ended and large-scale
manufacturing resumed. Our wheat,
cotton and other produce and
goods would be in demand in ex
change for silver at 75 cents per
ounce. Silver mined within the
United States should bring the
same price, 75cents per ounce.
If it is figured that accepting
war debt payments in silver at 75
cents per ounce, as compared with
present market price, involves tre
mendous loss, it certainly is no
greater than to cancel them en
tirely which seems the direction in
which the wind is pointing.
All road work to be done without
road machines, the same as 50 or
60 years ago, would afford immense
amount of employment, eliminating
necessity of dole or bread-line. The
man who has a little reserve or
better job would not want to work j
at $2.50 per day, but any man who
really needed bread and butter in
exchange for work, could get it.
Employ Americans only and give
preference to those living near the
scene of construction. A million or
more men could be employed in this j
way.—Denver Mining Record.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26. (£>)—
The Federal government should be
indicted on the charge of violating
the 18th amendment, Doctor F.
Dowlyer told a meeting of Los An
geles business men.
He said that the United States
Shipping Board allowed the opera
tion of saloons on liners which that
board controls. There were nine
saloons on the SS Leviathan.
Due to the many protests, the
saloons were closed up for a while
but due to the depression which
overshadows the world and which
effects the United States Treasury
to a large extent, the saloons are
now operating full blast again, he
said.
