One Nation Can Not.

One Nation Gom NOT
Mr.. HorP-I had Just started to show
that no nation alone can establish the
old ratio of 16 to /. state now that l
do not believe Mr.. Harvey thinks any
one nation can do it-at least he does
not propose to keep that ratio. He
says in his book "they say 1t is not BIZ
metallism unless the two metals stay
at exactly the parity Of 16 to 1. These
men do not know what bimetalllsm is.
1t may be desirable to let one metal go,
as 1t would be now with both as pri-
mary money. We may have bimetal-
lism and bimetallic prices whether one
metal has tendency to leave us more
than the other or not, and II desirable
to stop this leaving change in the
ratio will do 1t, and If necessary we can
do 1t so as to set the other metal going
80 that We can feed Europe either
metal we choose" So he is not stick
ler for 16 to at all. Now I start out
with this proposition: Nations by
their laws do not fix the value Of things.
They can not do 1t If they try. The
actual value Of the two metals at the
present time Is wide apart. The ratio
Of 16 to is today thing Of the past;
the value Of the two metals in the mar
kets Of the world has changed all this
discussion that we have had. How It
happened to have been done, what
brought 1t about, does not bear upon
this question today. The figures 16 to
/ do not represent the commercial value
of the two today, nobody claims they
do. 1t is useless to talk
about fixing a comparative ratio be-
tween any two substances by legisla-
tion. Is there a man living who thinks
all the nations in the world combined
could fix a ratio Of value between q
bushel OF wheat and q bushel Of oats?

land. II you have a small crop Of
wheat up will go your ratio, and law
has no more effect on It than It has to
make water run up hill instead Of down.
Does any one think that by passing an
act you could stay the foods of Niagara
and make them run up stream? Why
not? Well, there is a little difficulty
in the way. The law of gravitation
stands between you and the accomplish
ment of such an act. Consequently
the same thing occurs when you come
to the ratio between any two articles.
They are determined by the different
conditions over which legislators have
no control.
Would Raise Prices.
Now, Mr.. Harvey and I both agree
that the free coinage of silver will de-
crease the measure Of value used here
in this country. He doesn't deny that.
The burden Of his whole talk in this de-
bate is that we ought to have a cheaper
measure; that the unit is worth too
much. So now we agree that it will
change the measure. Mr. Harvey says
then, that is what ought to be done, be-
cause, he says, the whole world is in
debt and our country is on the brink Of
ruin, because the present dollar Is too
valuable. That is his position. That
in a position from which I differ.
He proposes to relieve the distress Of
the people by letting them pay what
they owe in cheaper money. / know I
do not represent you in that respect.
Mr.. Harvey. answer him, "NO, the
debts Of the day, the bulk OF them, have
all been contracted with the gold dollar
as the measure and to relieve the pay,
ment of them in any way by trick Of
this kind Of reputation"
Mr.. HarVey-When reach Mr.. HOrr's
argument as to legislation not con-
trolling the value of gold and silver,
my answer think will be satisfactory.

The Question at Issue.
Mr.. Horr-" We are discuss
lng a great question, and now to-day
We come down to the gist of this whole
business The question is, can this
nation alone establish the old ratio Of
rs to / and maintain it among the ma
tons OF the world?
Mr. Harvey" In beginning
&he debate to-day, hand to the stenog-
Eapher q table, from pages 1874 to 1876
of the mint report for 1893 of the gold
and silver coined in this country from
17D2 to 1873, and make it part Of the
debate. / do this to remove the repre-
sgntation that has gone all over the
country that for the first half Of the
century we were on a silver basis and
from 1850 to 1873 we were on gold
basis. The best answer to that argu-
Inent Is the production of the table Of
coins themselves. The statement that
gold did not seek the mints for the first
lfty years and that silver did not seek
Che mints for the last thirty years
prior to 1873 10 not true.
Page 1S0 Of the United States Coin
age Laws, Appendix and Statistics,

glves the approximate stock of money
IA the world. The stock of gold there
given Is $3,9O1 300 900; the stock of sill
YER there given is 1881, 100000. This
estimate includes gold and silver coins
and gold and silver bullion available

with these two metals as expressed in
dollars.

available for coinage into money is

The remainder, or about $1,9OO,000, 900,

The larg@r part of this is divided as fol-

Spain $155,OOO,OOO, and the remainder
among the smaller nations of the earth.
The foregoing figures are all coinage
value in our dollars.
A natural inquiry is, what becomes
OF the silver we are producing? 1
quote from an interview with G. H.
Gibson, prominent New York stock
broker who has just returned from Lon
don, in the Chicago Post, a gold stand
ard paper, of the 9Th inst:
''I talked with Sir Hector M. Hay, a
member of the firm doing the largest
bullion business in the world. In reply
to direct inquiry as to how much sill
yer bullion he regarded as existing in
the market in Europe, ne stated his
belief that the visible supply in Europe
did not exceed 5000, 900 pounds sterling.
"Sir Charles Freemantle, the master
Of the British mint on Tower Hill, told
me five years ago that there was no
stock Of silver bullion to speak Of in
Europe. 1t came by every steamer
and went away by every steamer. On
inquiry Of one Of the highest statistical
authorities in London the fact was con-
firmed that despite the demOnetizatiOn
Of silver by all Of the great nations, In
Guiding India, the use of silver in the
arts has grown so wonderfully that
there is ridiculously small supply in
the market at any one time"
Last Years Silver Production.
The production of silver in the United
States last year was bullion value $4O,-
1000, and we exported bullion value
$37, ,164,713. Thus there was demand
In the balance Of the world for substan-
TALLY all Of our silver. These are the
facts, and this is the situation before
US as we begin the argument for in
dependent action Of the United States.
Let us first sound few principles:
The more costly either Of these metals
become, the greater the demand for 1t
among the rich for use as ornaments.
Where the dearer Is used exclusively
for primary money, 1t is the one that
is boarded. When gold and silver
were both used as money in their rights
silver was boarded by the plain people
and was brought forth to serve them
in time Of need. Gold is principally
boarded by the rich to serve purpose
in bulling the money market. Hoard
ing Of silver by the people was bene-
fetal; boarding of gold is an injury.
The cause Of boarding in the two in
stances is different. In the first in
stance 1t is to serve a natural law pro-
Viding for the future; in the second in
stance 1t is commercial motive affect
ing injuriously the community.
This is one of the reasons why silver
has always proven the more stable
money.
Gold is not regular in production.

WASHINGTON, April 2-Vieorous de.
nial is made in administration circles of
the story that Secretary Gresham is
about to resign. The secretary himself
will not be interviewed, not caring to
dignity the report by denial. 1t is a
fact that the secretary has been in ILL.,
health for some time, and the recent at
tack of neuralgia of the stomach left
him much debilitated He has been un-
able to secure rest in Washington owing
to the frequency with which delicate
and embarrassing diplomatic questions
have been forced upon him, and it is
probable that he will yield to the solicit
alton of his family and friends so far as
to take a short leave of absence and 90
to his farm in Indiana, and perhaps stop
for time in Chicago.
