The following letter addressed to the
New York Herald puts the silver ques-
tion in clear light:
To the Editor of the Herald:
Prior to 1878 we had free coinage
of silver and goldat the ratio of 16 to l..
Yet gold dollar, composed of 25. 8
grains of standard gold, was intrinsi-
cally worth three cents less i'll 1873
than the silver dollar containing 4123
grains of standard silver.
Now, if the free coinage of gold by
the United States at the ratio of to
16 at a time when gold was admitted
to free coinage in all the civilized Ma
tions of the globe could not maintain
the gold dollar on parity with the
silver dollar, would the free coinage
of silver now at the same ratio main
tain silver on parity with gold?
If q difference of three cents in the
dollar against gold could not be over
come when gold was admitted to free
coinage all over the world, can it be
reasonably expected that difference
of fifty cents in the dollar against sill
yer could be overcome by the free
coinage of the latter metal in this
country alone? If by the concensus
of Nations the market price of silver
can be established so as to fix and
maintain parity between it and gold,
at the ratio of 16 to /. why did not
that same consensus of Nations main
tain gold at parity with silver at the
same ratio in 1873?
In the light of facts thus briefly re-
ferred to, can it be doubted that it is
the metal which gives value to the
coin and not the coin which gives
value to the metal? Whatever law is
placed upon the statute books of the
country, there can, in fact, be but one
standard of value.
II we drive 600, 900, 900 gold dollars
out of circulation it would take fifteen
years to coin like number of silver
dollars to take their place, and as the
purchasing power of silver dollar
would only be one-half that of gold,
1000, 900, 900 silver dollars would be
required to supply the deficit created
by the retirement of gold. Oar minis.
working to their fullest capacity,
would need thirty years to coin
81, 200, 00O,O 900. Ii, as claimed by the
silver men, there exists scarcity of
money, how can they want to increase
that scarcity so much that it will take
thirty years to restore the existing
status?

HARyEY's SEE.SAW BIMETALLISM

It is due to Mr.. Harvey to commend
the frankness with which he sets forth
the financial feast to which we are in
vited. He suggests:
"They say it is not bimetallism un-
less the two metals stay at exact
parity of 16 to /. These men do not
know what bimetallism is. 1t may be
desirable to let one metal go tout of
circulation?), as it would be now.
With both as primary money we may
have bimetallism and bimetallic
prices, whether one metal has ten
dency to leave us more than the other
or not. And, if desirable to stop its
leaving, a change in the ratio will do
it, and, if necessary. can do it SO as
to set the other metal going, SO that
we can feed Europe either metal we
may choose"

The silverites are growing desperate
as they realize that they are losing
ground, and are now abusing the bnsi-
ness men ofthe country as well as the
bankers. In recent magazine article
the author of "Coin's Financial
School" attacks merchants and traders
generally, CHASING them with money
changers as enemies of mankind.
Such nonsense indicates the mental
calibre OF the would-be teachers OF the
people on the important question OF
our money, and will open the eyes OF
any business men who may have been
for the moment deluded into believing
some Of the free silver fallacies.

Bimetallism and bimetallic prices
with silver alone in circulation-gold
having left us, with the blessed priv
ilege on our part to buy it back il we
will change our coinage ratio SO as to
pay more for it, and of dumping our
silver in Europe if, by the same
change, we offer it chenply enough
and with the money end Of every
transaction at the sport of Congress,
Mr.. Harvey is altogether too modest
in claiming return only to the times
of our fathers. There would be actual
ly involved relapse to the times OF
the patriarchs. Hon. John Dewitt

For people who do not think for
themselves the weight of mere mum.
bers has great authority. So when
they find evidence Of widespread
agitation for free silver they say
ssSee how this idea is spreading.
There must be something in It. There
il something in it, but it is only what
the small boy found when he cut his
drum open to see what made the
sound-wind. Any scheme which
promises men wealth without working
for it will get some followers, especially
il it is backed up by powerful in
terests like the silver mine owners.
But it will die out just as soon as the
people find they have been deceived,
as most OF the followers OF free coin
age are finding out.

Not for the South.

The Huntsville Mercury does not
believe that the people of the South
will commit themselves to the unlim-
tied coinage of silver. 1t says:
sour people are honest if not
wealthy and want every dollar paid to
them to be worth 100 cents. They
have no silver to coin and cannot pos
sibly feel an interest in the Western
silver mines. If the Government is
to go into the wholesale business of
guaranteeing prices, the farmers ofthe
South had far better work for cotton
than silver. This Government has the
same right to say that q pound Of
cotton shall be worth ten cents that
it has to say than 9715 grains of silver
shall be worth 81"
The press of the South is over
whelmingly against unconditional sill
yer coinage because it would be silver
monometallism, and Southern news
papers have sense enough to realize
the disastrous results that would bring

Canada as an, Object Lesson.

The cheap money faddists claim that
prices depend on the amount of money
in each country. They tell the farmer
that wheat and cotton are low because
money is scarce, and that doubling
the currency would double prices. So
much for theory. Now for facts.
Canada has about s, 900, 900 popula-
ton, and about $40 per capita of
money. According to the silverites
the price of all kinds of goods should
be at least fifty per cent. lower in Can
ada than in this country, where we
have over $50 per capita. But every
body knows that prices in both coun-
tries are practically the same for near
ly all kinds of goods. OF course in
parts of Canada remote from markets
farm produce is lower than in the
neighborhood of our great cities. But
there is Just as much difference be-
tween the prices of products in, say
South Carolina. and in Connecticut.
So it is not the value of currency
which makes the difference. In some
lines Of Manufactured goods prices are
even higher in Canada than in the
United States. This proves that the
theory Of the cheap money men has
no actual basis, bat is merely guess
az to the real cause Of high or low
nrioaa
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

While some of the silverites deny
that they believe in fiat money, all
their arguments in favor of fifty
cent dollars are used by greenbackera
and Coxeyites as reasons for the
adoption Of their schemes. Ask any
honest advocate of free silver whether
he believes that the Governments
stamp can make 412A grains of silver
worth one gold dollar. Hewill prompt
~ answer eyes" Then ask him if the
Government can make piece of paper
worth gold dollar by merely print
ing "one dollar" on it. Nine times
out Of ten he will again answer ''yes. "
OF course no will be wrong, as it is not
the words lone dollar" which makes
paper currency circulate, but the fact
that the Government will redeem it
with gold dollar. A paper promise to
pay Zone dollar" would be no good il
it could not be redeemed. But the
fact that silverltes believe that the
Governments stamp makes values
shows that their ideas of the nature of
money are the same as those of the
Populists and other fiatists.
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1894-08-10

sThere is not enough metal money
to do the business Of the country, il
the confident assertion Of the silver
ties, on which they base plea fol-
cheap dollars. They are altogether
wrong. It is true that there is not
enough money if all business was done
on cash basis. But each year more
and more of the total volume of ex-
changes OF goods is carried on with our
system Of bank credits, bYwhich bust
ness is done with very little money.
As our banking system is perfected
and extended the need for money in
settling accounts grows constantly
less. If metal money alone was used,
oil the silver in the world would not
be tenth Of the amount needed for
this country's business.

SMALL CHANGE.

Claptrap talk about s'Wall street.
should not deceive anyone into voting
for cheap dollars. So far as the stock
brokers and SPECTATORS of Wall street
are concerned it makes no difference
what kind of money we have. In fact,
they are not very anxious to have 2
stable financial system, as they profit
most when prices fluctuate. Wall
street is simply 'bogey" to scare
innocent farmers and workingmen.
