HON. ID. &. HASKELL.

We publish in full in THE TINES, this
morning, the able and carefully prepared
speech on the silver question, delivered in
the National House of Representatives on
the 9th inst, by the Hon. Dudley c. Has
kell, member of congress from the second
district of this state Those who have
watc he'd the progress Of the silver move
ment, and have taken an interest in its dis
cussion in Congress and before the country,
will find much valuable and interesting in
formation in this speech OF Mr.. Haskell. 1t
cont aims no wild statements, but is a solid,
well-digested argument, and is supported
by statistics, proving every statement made.
The document is deserving OF a careful
reading by the people Of Kansas, and espe-
cially those Of the second district, not only
because OF the information it gives, but to
show that Mr. Haskell is in harmony with
the people on this great question, and is
alive to the interests of his constituents He
is one OF the most industrious members of
the House, and never loses an opportunity
to put IN 4 lick for the interests of Kansas.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1878-02-21
Grand Total from 1900 to ISL 2,7iI,sO0.oo

This table shows an increase since 1873.
Production for fouI years has been virtual
ly stationary Absorption, however, has
disposed of not only all that has been pro-
duced, but has made large inroads upon the
amounts the various demonetizing and re-
stricting countries have thrown upon the
market.
The increase in production since 1900 has
been steady, and it has been larse IN
crease, but has it increased more rapidly
than civilization has spread Has not also
the demand for coin increased? Has not
also the demand for use in the arts In
creased? VIII it not continue to be sub
ject 10 an increasing demand in the ratio OF
increased production, if production does
increase Who can tell ? But 1t Is TAR
more ike that a demand once made will
continue even after production begins de-
cline. Ii so, prices would go up 10 restore
equilibrium they are rising nor produc-
ton has become stationary the demand Is
kept up.
Now | will give the proportion which
the amount Of bullion from the Comstock
bears to all other sources OF supply iesti-
mate for 1877 from the Bankers Magazinel
for the Cnited States:
Outside the Comstock isOOU
ATiZona.- .--.--.--.--..... I,-p,ocu
Total. l,S0,OoU
4 large percentage of the gross product
OF the Comstock is in gold.
From the above it is clear to any one that
the great increase In the worlds production
of silver is due largely to the yield ..fiom
this celebrated lode, which is admitted BY
all to have reached and passed its maxi
mum yield, for it is also admitted that
there is no increase of production outside
| of the United States. With this exhibit
| and statement | answer the second subsi-
diary proposition, If not in the affirmative
by saying that the probabilities are stronly
that way. And from the conclusions
reached in reference to these two SUBSIDIARY
propositions believe have given reason
'for the faith that is within me-" tO-wit
That legislation on the part of the United
States will nearly if not quite restore
silver to its old place and price.
l desire now to refer to the oft-repeated
assertion that silver huctuates in price even
under the most favorable circumstances
with which legislation can surround it,
and hence that it is less desirable for a
standard on that score, if for no other reason.
This deny, and in proof of my position |
give a table OF Jevons, showing the varia-
tions in price of gold and silver bullion.
Mark you, this is not the price of silver
measured by gold, by which process it is
easy TO charge the fluctuations of both
metals to silver alone, but it is the tluctua-
tiOns Of these two metals in their purchasing
porrer measured by oil other commodities,
and Is the only test that has a semblance
