A FRIEND AMONG ENEMIES.

Successful New York Banker Defends
Free Coinage Of Silver.
At the late meeting of the bankers
convention at Saratoga. N. Y. reso-
luton was offered in opposition to the
free coinage of silver. In that gather
ing of gold standard advocates the peo-
pie had one friend in the person of
William P. st. John, president of the
Mercantile national bank of New York
city, one of the most prominent and
successful bankers of the country. In
opposition to the resolution Mr.. st.
John said:
''Alone, if not supported. Unjust OPP
pose this resolution. Convictions which
antagonize it forbid me to acquiesce in
its adoption.
81 spent six of a ten years research
into the worlds experience of money
in eager pursuit of facts with which to
substantiate the assumptions and ale
cations on which this resolution rests.
] am satisfied that truth told accurate
~ will not substantiate it.
''The repeal of the so-called 'Sher-
man act linked the United States
practically with all Europe to the un-
tried attempt at one time to base the
gold; to restrict ali increase of money
to the little yearly new supply of gold
that the arts and india do not absorb.
On estimates of statisticians whom my
opponents honor, about one-third only
of the annual production of gold is
thus available for money. Hence, to
fasten this attempt upon the United
States and bind the expansive energies
of our seventy millions of people by
such restriction upon their money
would seem to me to welcome peril if
not to court disaster.
"Some recoveries in prices from the
great depression which seemed to
eliminate last year are reported and
more seem likely. Nevertheless, my
profound conviction is that to grant
again to silver the right of transition
into money at the will of its possessor,
while continuing that grant to gold. is
essential to the well-founded prosper
ity of the United States
1.-THE assumption, under present and
prospective conditions in the trading
world, that the reopening of the minis
of the United States to silver would
Danish gold is no better founded on ex-
perience than was that identical pre-
diction with which the 'Bland-Alllison'
act was threatened in 1878 and which
was put to scorn by the experience of
the United States in the subsequent
twelve years. Instead of our expell-
ing gold as the result of that enact
ment we gained gold. beginning with
the following year, until the aggre-
gate sum of gold attracted from abroad
approached $500, OOO, 900.
In this connection I am prepared
to prove in detail that our coinage act
of 1892 did not demonetize and Danish
gold; that our coinage act of 1884 did
not demonetize and Danish silver; that
excessive issues of bank notes sup
planted much of both metals during
both these periods, and much of both

ment of our debit balances in foreign

Senator Morgan. Of Alabama, Talks to tina
People Of Georgia.
At Griffin, Ga, q short time since
Senator Morgan. of Alabama, addressed
q large audience of people from the
surrounding country upon financial is
sues Among other things the senator
said:
81 am here as q disciple of Jefferson.
Madison and jackson, and many others
of the consecrated fathers. to speak in
defense of an act of congress that was
approved by George Washington in
1T92 for the free coinage Of silver;
which was re-enacted in 1887, and was
approved by Andrew jackson, presi-
dent of the United States, and was
stabbed below the fifth rib by John
Sherman in 1873, and was left for
dead"
Continuing, he said that Mr.. Sher-
mans law of 1873 was such = death
blow to silver as money metal that it
seems marvellous that silver has in it
enough life left to take up its bed and
walk. s.But,n he said, sit is moving to
the front with uplifted head and Wig
orous step again, in union, it not in
full harmony, with gold, and the
parade is SO inspiriting that even Great
Britain is keeping step to the music OF
the union"
Mr. Morgan combatted what he
termed 1.-The false issue invented by
Mr.. Sherman and adopted by Mr..
Cleveland;'' that it is the duty of the
government to preserve the parity be
tween the metals by adjusting their
coinage to meet the fluctuations in
their commercial value. England, u
he said, wanted gold because she was
the largest creditor nation and killed
silver to get rid of this parity ISSUE"
Speaking of the 500, 600. 900 gold re-
serve, he said: st was sort of jack
pot put up by Mr.. Sherman that has
kept up the gambling in our money.
It was never needed to give strength
to the United States. A country that
has paid in debts and interest more
| than S.. 600. 600. 900, in thirty years could
not need the support of 500, 600, 600 de-
posted in the treasury to support its
credit"
Referring to the charge that the
| opening of the American minis to the
coinage of silver would make this
country the dumping ground of the
| world, Mr.. Morgan said: with some
it is an idle apprehension of danger
| and with others the convenient stalk
ing horse of false prophecy"

WHAT SILVER Asks.

IL Is to Be Restored to an Equality with
Gold at tho MINIS.
In his speech at Atlanta, Ga, few
weeks ago, Hon. w. J. Bryan, of Ne
braslxa, among many other good things,
said:
what does the free and unlimited
coinage of silver mean? It means the
coinage of silver without restriction.
1t means no restriction as to the
amount to be coined. When man
goes to the mint with gold. he takes as
much as he pleases. He can take ST.
OCO or 800, 900, 900 and have it coined
into gold dollars. They do not ask
him where it came from, how, he got 1t
or how muta.. he Intends to 6fi1k.
That is what we ask for silver.
''Our creed is embraced in these
words: The Immediate restoration
restoration is the word, for we are ask
ing for nothing but that which existed
up until 1S74-and the free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at .
ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for any
other nation to take a hand, the del
lars thus coined to be legal tender for
all debts, public and private.
IA silver dollar in 1873 was legal
tender; to-day it is a money to be re-
deemed. Yet it contains the same
amount of silver. Up to 1853 the COIN
age of subsidiary coin was unlimited.
By subsidiary coinage I mean SO cents,
25 cents and 10 cents. Yet it became
necessary to reduce these coins in
weight in order to keep them in this
country, and they were thus made to
be less in intrinsic value than the dol
lar they were supposed to be parts of.
In other words. two 5O-cent pieces did
not contain as much silver as dollar
after that change. And they were
made token money.
''Silver dollars were made token
money in 1874 and remained in that
condition. In 1873 the Sherman act
was made law and this was in effect
until 1890 If we are to have free coin.

law a suggestion, as appears in the
Sherman act, that silver is not q metal

THE FLIGHT OF GOLD.
A Single standard Disciple Tersely AM
H~Nred.

A Single Standard Disciple Tersely An-
swered.
Edward O. Leech, director of the
United States minis during the Harri-
son administration, contributes an
article to the July issue of the North
American Review, entitled: How Free
Silver Would Affect Us" The line of
prophecy developed by the single
standard theorists in 1878, and followed
since that time in the press, in con-
gress and at conventions of bankers,
is closely adhered to. National dis
honesty "a silver basis" dumping
ground for the worlds silver" and
flight of our stock of gold" are the
evils specifically predicted should the
United States return to the policy of
the early days of the government and
coin gold and silver at its minis on
precisely equal terms at given ratio
of 16 to 1, or such other ratio as con-
gress in its wisdom might adopt.
The recent director of the minis adds
nothing new to the silver discussion.
None of his gloomy forebodings are
fresh, and most of them were proved
to be false by the partial and unfriend-
1y enforcement of the Bland-Allison
act, which at no time received the ia
vorable consideration of the executive
department of the government, includ-
ing the director of the minis This
experiment in limited free coinage was
preceded by all the prophecies of disas-
ter which are newly set forth in the
Leech review. But it did not, between
1865 and 1891, a period of over twelve
years, result in national dishonesty
did not place this country on silver
basis, did not draw from other coun-
tries their stock of silver, and it actu-
ally added, as shown by the mint re-
ports prepared and published by Di-
rector Leech, to our stock of gold.
The reason for the latter result is
easily found in the increased prosper
ity of the country. The balance OF
trade was in our favor, and as inter
national balances are settled in gold,
our stock of the yellow metal was
steadily built up by these balances
until 1890 when, according to the
official report of Director Leech, an
outflow of $40, 900, 600 in gold from New
York was artificially caused by the
banks and bankers of Europe, in spite
of the fact that 1.-The rate of sterling
exchange was below the point ga sS)
at which gold shipments can be made
without loss The movement" says
the mint director, must have been ar
tificially stimulated by banks and
bankers in Europe paying a premium
on gold or making discounts to bill
drawers for cash remittances This
was the result of condition of affairs
very unusual in the mercantile world. -
The reader can take his choice be-
tween the official report of Director
Leech in 1891, page 81, and his gloomy
forebodings in the current issue of the
North American Review. If the re-
port was correct-and it is fully sus.
tanned by the treasury statistics and
| market quotations of the time-ther
/ the predictions in the North American
Review article may be lightly dis
! missed as the result of bad digestion
