 | Senator Jones spoke of the general unrest which prevailed throughout the | country. Prices of all commodities he said had fallen and continued to fall, What was it that produced this general decline of prices in any country? It was the shrinkage in the volume of money relatively to the population and | business. The world has never had the proper system of money. The present | divergence in relation to the value of | gold and silver is greatly due to the legal | outlawry.of silver and not to any natural causes. It has always ben the object | of the credentials class to enhance the value of money by reducing the volume so that when the gold mines of Califor- nia and Australia were producing the | largest yield it was proposed to demone- tize gold The motion of demonetiZa- tion ia the case of silver as we'll as gold was, Jones said, to aggrandize the credi- tors class of the world in confiscating as far as practicable toward the | hardy toilers. If surprise was felt that the selfshness of the privi- legged classes in Europe in denonetizing silver, what, he asked, was to be said in | defense of the United Staets demoneti- zation of silver.
