WHICH is RIGHT
ywo Assertions of tho Silverites That Are
Sadly Conflicting.

ywo Assertions OF tho Silverites That Are
Sadly Conflicting.
Tho two legs on which the free silver
argument lamely limps nro two n.ser-
tions which fatty contradict each OTHER.
The first is the statement that with free
coinage at &c to tho commercial value
of silver will advance until / 6 ounces of
silver will equal in value one ounce Of
gold. This claim is backed up by the oft
repeated charge that it was the alleged
characterization Of silver III 1873 which
caused the value of that metal to fall,
and it is urged that free coinage would
at once restore its old value.
Tho second assertion of the silveritcs
is their claim that free coinage would
stop the fall in prices which they all in
sist is due to our financial policy. They
have won the support of tho farmers
solely because they denounced our pres
ent currency system as one which makes
money scarce and dear and have prom
ised that free coinage viii make money
cheap and plentiful. In fact, their very
strongest plea for unlimited silver is
their claim that ii would double tho
prices of farm products by measuring
them i'll cheaper money. And if it would
not do SO it certainly could not help the
farmer.
Here then are the plain statements of
the silveritcs:
