The production of gold has not
increased very largely since
1873. For twenty years prior to
1878 the worlds gold production
ranged from sl55. 600, 600 down
to 81, 100000 per year
Since 1873, for 20 years it has
ranged from 95,ooO.ooo up to
$780, 100000 and never more than
this last sum.
If the production of gold has
remained almost the same for 40
years and the production of sill
yer increased almost three fold
is there any thing unreasonable
about the decline in the price of
silver +?
In 1873 the total amount of
money in circulationin the Unit
ed States was 1851, ssl.So9 or
$500 per capita,
In 1894 the whole amount in
circulation in the United States
was 81 ,636, 226. 45l or s2s.72 per
capita.
This means money in actual
circulation. If we include all the
money in the United States we
have $50. 46 per capita or for each
person.
Just here it would be well for
US to remember that England has
only about $40 per capita in all.
The advocates of the policy of
free and unlimited coinage of
silver is, to /, claim thatin 1878 a
great crime was committed by
Congress when it changed the
silver law so as to abolish free
coinage and leave the question
with Congress as to the amount
of silver that should be purchas-
ed and coined. They say that
this act of 1873 demonetized sill
