Advancing Prices Controvert Wh1ee MesnA
Theories.
We find the following interesting
paragraph in the editorial columns OF
the Fort Worth Gazette:
From statistics complied by Capt q b.
Harold Of this city, IL appears that 10000
Texas cattle were marketed In Chicago. ST
Louis and Kansas City between the 9th OF
February and the LIST Of June OF the present
year. These cattle brought from 20 to Hz
moro per head than their selling price during
q similar period last year. In other words,
Texas is for this period Of four months over
50 900 900 in pocket on account OF tho advance
in CATTLE and 1t Is = conservative estimate 10
say that her gain during the year on the mar
keted product will be in excess OF $40 ooo,oOo
This represents net profit above any profits
that may have been made BY the cattlemen
and the feeders last year
The Gazette is free-silver paper,
and is not likely to overrate any pros
perity that may prevailin the country.
1t has been the contention of the
free-coinage advocates that the decline
in prices is due to the closing OF the
minis of this and other countries to
the free coinage of silver. In this con-
nection they talk much of wheat and
cotton, but say very little of corn and
cattle. Now there has been no change
in the legislation of commercial coun-
| tries as to silver since last year. Yet
here we have an estimate that Texas
alone will realize SIC. 900, 900 In profits
on cattle over and above what she
realized last year.
| If the decline of prices were due
solely to the measure OF value there
would have been uniform decline all
along the line. Yet where we find
great reductions of prices in some
articles we find that others have de-
| clined but little, while some show q
positive advance. Values have never
been estimated in silver since 1884, but
in 1873 prices were quoted in green
backs, and gold was worth IA per
cent. premium. The course OF prices
has been generally downward since
that time, and part of the decline
may fairly be attributed to the disap-
pearance of the premium on gold, which
made greenbaclxs and gold equal in
their purchasing power This cause
ceased to operate at the beginning OF
1879. since which time all our currency
has had equal purchasing power
The declene of commodities since
1879 has been coincident with great

A PLACE FOR SILVER.


How tho Great Store In the Treasury
Might Fittingly No USed.
The New York newspapers note the
insuffciency in that community OF the
supply of small bills They say that 1t
is easy enough to get two fve-dollar
bills for a,ten, or two tens for twenty.
But when it comes to changing five
dollar bill into two twos and one, 1t Is
not easily done. From this they argue
that there is deficiency in the supply
OF bills of small denominations. They
call upon the government to rectify
this difficulty by putting out larger
supply of small notes, in place of some
of the larger denominations now in
circulation. The real difficulty in the
case is one that has been stated in
these columns, in noticing difference
in custom between the people OF the
east and those of the west In their use
of currency. The latter have become
thoroughly habituated to the use OF
the silver dollar. They find it no hard
ship. Small bills. are seldom seen in
the ordinary course of affairs in the
west. People accept and pay out sill
yer dollars almost universally In all
kinds of transactions involviDg less
than Ave dollars. The people OF the
east have not yet made this change.
They retain their affection for the
dirty, greasy, ragged old stuff that Is
scarcely more convenient or comfort
able to handle than the fractional cur
rency which we got rid of long ago. 1t
they will renounce this habit and take
| to the use of silver dollars instead, all
their difficulties will vanish.
There are more than three hundred
million silver dollars in the treasury
of the United States which are repre-
sented by silver certificates outstand-
ing. The holders of any of these can
obtain silver dollars for them at the
United States treasury. The banks Of
New York or Of any other eastern city
will make the exchange for the people
| if they wish it. Any amount of small
change may be obtained from Wash
ington in the shape of silver dollars
and the treasury will be delighted t.

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCED
The Amount Is sumcient for all National
Needs.

The Amount Is Sumctent Tor all Not1Onal
Needs.
The official figures of the worlds
gold and silver production for 1894, as
furnished by Mint Director Preston,
do not support the argument OF the
free silver advocates that the world is
suffering from a deficiency of money
of final payment" Both gold and sill
yer are money of final payment, and
the world managed to get larger
supply. of these metals in 1894 than in
any previous year in its history.
The estimate made by the mint bu-
reau last year of the gold product of
the world for the year put the amount
at s16s. 600, 900; the official figures make
1t S1s1, 600, 900. an amount $25, 000, 900 in
excess of any previous years output.
During the current year production
has thus far gone on at rate which
iustifies an estimate of 5000, 900, GO, or
q further increase of Aearly $50, 00o, 000
The increase in the output of silver.
in spite of the continued decline in
price, has kept pace with the increase
of gold. In 1893 the silver mines broke
the record with a production OF $780,
DOC, 900, an increase of nearly S13, 900.
900 over 1892. But in 1894 the product
was S214.0OO,00o the great increase
coming from the South American and
Central American silver-using coun-
] tries. OF course in estimating the
silver production in dollars we con.
tinue to use the old rate of l6 to /.
The capacity of the silver-using
countries of the world to absorb silver
| and use it for currency seems to be
equal to the capacity of the gold-using
countries to take up the gold supply
Both metals are needed, or they would
; not be mined. Both metals are used
under varying conditions in the do
mestic commerce ard internationa
exchanges of different countries
There is no scarcity of either metal
There is limitation on the use o
silver which is unnecessary and re
| strictive in its operations and which
should be removed. 1t can be removed
only In one way, and that is by inter
national agreement.-N. Y. World.

A CHANGE OF STANDARD.
What the Demand of tho Free Siiverits
Amounts To.

What the Demand of tho Free silveritss
Amounts To.
The demand for the free coinage OF
silver at the rate of 16 to l by this
country, regardless of what other
countries may do, is demand that the
silver dollar be substituted for the
gold dollar as our standard Of value.
1t is idle to deny this, as the advo-
Gates Of free silver coinage sometimes
do. II the demand is not for a change
of standard, and change from a
higher to lower standard, then all
that is said about the wrong done to
debtors by the adoption of the gold
standard is senseless. Debtors cannot
be benefited by silver legislation
otherwise than by providing them
with cheaper dollars with which to
| pay their debts. Debtors as such would
take no interest whatever in free silver
coinage II they were not led to believe
it would give them cheaper dollars.
As q matter of fact we have the gold
standard. We have had it in law fol
more than twenty-five years We have
had it practically for more than sixty
years During the seventeen years
from 1862 to 1879 we had paper cur.
rency which was legal tender in pay
ment of most debts, but the gold dol
lar was the standard of value ever
then. There has not been a year, MOI
SO much ns day. since the passage o.
the coinage act of 1874, when the gol(
dollar has not been practically tn
standard of value.
The advocates Of free silver coinag
propose to discard the gold dollar ant
give us the silver dollar as the stand
4 ard of value. They propose that If
man owes thousand dollars he ma,
discharge It by rendering thousan'
silver dollars coined for him by tn
government out of bullion costing hir
Eve hundred. more or less, u the kin
of dollars he promised to ply.
1t devolves upon those who propos
that the government shall enabl
men to scale down their debts In thi
way to give good reasons Why 1t shoul
do SO. 1t is incumbens upon them
