of values, and then, ' IL my opinion, we.
have not yet begun to feel the full
weight of this foolish and absurd at
tempt to bring the world to conforms
to mono metalism.
"The decentralization of silver in
1873, although measure enacted
ignorantly, as confessed by congress,
was great crime to civilization and
progress, and, furthur, the vast major
ity of the people Who are not capital
lists have been reduced in resource S
and in debt paying capacity to the full
extent of the withdrawal of the legal
tender silver money. 1t is almost
laughable were it not so serious, to
read the editorials in the daily press
of the country which are in great
majority averse to the unfolding OF
silver and restoring 1t to a basis OF
sixteen to one, and to its former posi-,
ton as legal tender, ebt-payine
metal. In my experience L have seen
silver sell at a large premium above
gold, and during the California gold
days have made purchases of gold al
a discount for checks on our Philadel-
phia banks 1t would have been just
as easy at that time to have demone-
tized gold, and to have produced pre-,
cisely the same conditions as to gold
as now prevail in regard to silver,
that is, if the coinage of gold had
been refused at the minis of the
United States and other countries and
it had been made an article of trade
and commerce merely.
''Silver for all time, has held ii place
far above that of gold in the money
transactions of the world. Amongst
at least two-thirds of the population
of the world it is now the sole cur
rency. Now in the fullness of time,
when the world is full of activity and
development, instead of making 4
legal tender basis of silver and gold
each the wise acres of this day have
deliberately destroyed one half of thi.
basis. Was there ever anything Sc
full of folly?''
