"RESTORiNG" PAST CONDITIONS

A recent convention of silverites de-
clared, I'VE only ask that silver be re-
stored to where it was prior 70 1879. -
During ten years from 1861 to 1870 the
worlds yearly output of silver averaged.
in round numbers. 80, OO0 900 ounces. with
. coinage value OF $4,000. 900. During
this period there was mined yearly 5000. :
ooO ounces Of gold, with money value OF
more than SIZE. 100000. Silver furnished
81 per cent in weight of the prod uction OF
the precious metals in 1870. and 30 per
cent in value. In 1893 the production of
silver was more than four times greater
than in 1870. the total being over 1so 200,

600 ounces. with a coinage value of SOS, :
uUO,OO gold in the meantime having IN
creased about % per cent in production,
Inc market value OF this vast mass Of
silver had inevitably fallen, and as nearly
according to the law of demand and sup
ply as can veil be calculated; and with
out the smalleet regard to the legislation
OF 1878. or TO any point of time. In fact
there was no decline in prices until after
1870. when we were beginning to face the
problem of resumption of spscie nav
ments' and no general falling off till 1884.
Why talk OF restoring silver to where
II was more than twenty years ago, when
the supply was so small that it was not
profitable to coin it at all at the existing
ratio. As well talk of restoring" Besse-
mer steel to 500 a ton ana rolled bar iron
to $75, where they stood in 1870 when
iron 10 now. say. $50 ton and Bessemer
steel rails $25 or less. Or. take the case
OF copper, which broke" few years
ago, solely on account Of improved facili-
ties for mining and transporting, and
without any relation to decrease in price
OF silver or increase in the value of gold;
and that, too, while wages have con-
stantly increased in this industry. The
Quincy mine, Lake Superior, tells the
whole story. In 1870 it yielded 9, 500, 600
pounds OF ore, at cost of Is cents a
pound. Last year it produced over 10, OOO.-
600 pounds. at cost OF less than cents a
pound. Within this time, despite the
efforts Of all the trusts. copper has gone
down 80 per cent in the worlds mar
kets, and like all such results for very
plain reasons; and in this case. as said
above. with increased wages to the work
men and with a dividend last year of
$400. 900 to the stockholders. Will any
body pretend that copper can be "re-
stored" to where it was twenty years AGO
in price?
Perhaps the most striking illustration
of the point raised is found in the case of
aluminium. Less than three years ago
this was seriously talked OF as one of the
probable precious metals of the future.
Today it has become 50 abundant, and
therefore so cheap, that New York
yacht builder is using it for beams in
constructing racing yacht! Why not
talk OF restoring aluminium to where
1t was once? If we take wheat. which
continues low, though like corn and hog
products and other staples is improving
now in price, we find its status to be de-
termined by increased production in
proportion to demand, and that the
claim that it went down because
silver declined or gold appreciated. is
monstrous misconception. In the last
issue Of Bradstreet's it was declared that
quotations have followed the course of
the worlds output Of the cereal.
But right here it should be noted and
insisted that the government has tried to
restore silver where it was-has done all
possible things. gone to all lengths on
Its behalf. 1t has bought the white
metal and coined hundreds of millions of
dollars that now lie hopelessly buried in
the treasury vaults. and already at loss
of s156. 900, 900 to the people. who have
always been friendly to silver. and VIII o

THE EASTERN JINGO

Do we want Cuba? Senator Frve seems
to think we do. Let us see about it.
Cuba has million and half people-ln
round numb bers. OF these 492, 2S5 are me-
groes and nearly 44,00O are Chinese. The
number Of schools is one for every 21OO in
habitants and even of the white popula-
ton 65 PES cent can neither read nor write.
Do We want-could we afford to have
such state in the union as this would
be? And yet when the lingo chatters he
practically declares we ought to accept
any excuse to get the island. In marked
contrast with the curious outbreak on the
part of Frye, Lodge, Platt and others
may be cited the views of some sturdy
editors in the west. The Omaha Bee
points out that these senators repudiate
the established doctrine of the country
and the civilized world when they de-
clare for the hghwayman rule of state
craft. The Milwaukee Sentinel. too. the
leading Republican organ in that state,
after addressing to these gentlemen a
manly rebuke, thus admonishes them:
An American who wishes to be patrlot-
ic would be better employed in irving to
get mcn OF sense and integrity nominated
for aldermen in his ward, in trying TO
give his city clean streets and fine public
buildings. in spreading information
about money, in tackling any OF the
problems which the country must SETTLE.
This kind OF employment is not so spec-
tacular as preaching the need of territor-
ial acquisition. and not SO exciting for
the preacher, but it deserves to attract
men who have energy and hard heads.
We have an opportunity of making this
country what we wish to have it. Some
OF us are in danger of neglecting this op-
portunity through a desire to borrow
trouble from abroad.
II all the strong newspapers of the land
would speak out as these western ones
are now speaking We should make swift
end of jingoism.
