House held big meeting to talk
over the master, and after full
discussion decided not to have any
thing to do with such money.
They said that no one but n scala
wag would touch it. They have
changed their minds since then, 1"
laughed Mr.. Thompson.
con this silver question:" Mr..
Thompson went on, II stand alone
so far as this locality i. concerned,
but l am happy to believe that the
people Of the United States are
with me. | contend that neither
precious metal can be thrown into
mere merchandise, instead of being
continued as money metal, without
causing stagnation, depression and
finally monetary revolution,
doubling the purchasing power of
the monetized metal and causing a
corresponding cheapening of all
property, including silver, and
bringing debtors as a general thing
to bankruptcy. 1t is indisputable
that the gold output Of the world is
diminishing. My views are that
there will be a desperate interna-
tional effort for the possession of
gold, and there will not be gold
enough to go round on which to
sustain specie payments. When
the silver of the world is degraded
to mere merchandise one-half the
precious metal foundation for sus-
tanning specie payments disap-
pears, and the idea that the other
half will be adequate is proposter-
GUS"
"Why has gold and silver parted
company in price-in other words,
why is the former ratio Of values
no longer maintained ?"
"For a very simple reason. At
the close of the Franco-German
war in 1872, Germany obtained an
indemnity from France of more
than $1,000, 100000. Silver at
that time being the dearer and
scarccr metal this indemnity was
paid in gold. Bismarck and his
advisers in 1873 demonetized silver
and established for Germany the
gold standard, redeemed the silver
circulation with gold and threw the
silver on the London money
market, taking back to Germany
the proceeds in gold. This over
stocked the London bullion market
with silver and caused a dearth OF
gold. Some other European ma
tons followed Germany's example
and the inevitable result followed.
This is the simple fact, and all the
fact that caused the parting of the
two metals in price"
"Do you think that the other
New York bankers will eventually
come to our views on this subjectY
