the advance in these two great staples? There has been no ad- vance in the price ofsllver. There is no prospect, immediate or re- mote, of free and unlimited coinage of silver. There is small prospect of an international agreement for the restoration ofsilver as primary money or for the free use of silver. Now in the face of these adverse conditions as to silver we find not only very substantial advance in the price of wheat and cotton, but general rise in nearly all the products of the farm and the fac tory. Silver has nothing to do with it, and it is now equally clear that the great decline in cotton and wheat for the twenty years following 1873 was not caused by the act of 1873. There is absolute ly nothing in this theory.-Ark. Democrat.
 Whether Bro: Jeems Mitchell, or one of his "cubs, on the Democrat, originated the ahove, we are una ble to say; but If It is tho produc- ton of the aforesaid "Jeems," ed ting post office has sadly impair ed his ability for editing a paper. It is inst such speeious argument as used above that makes one have that tired feeling akin to jaundiee.
 The reason silver has not ad- vanced in price is because there is no demand for it and the reason there is no demand is because ii k no longer used as Il money metal, and the people can neither eat it or wear il.
 Suppose law was in force that wheat should not be used for con sumption, how much rise do you suppose there would be in it's price? or that cotton should not be used fof manufacture, do yon i'm agine there would be any advance in it's price.
 The Demoerat's questions are so easily answered that they are scarcely worth the trouble.

Keep it Before the People.

To the Editor of The Sunday Tribune.
 l. That the great issue now be- fore the American people is the battle of the standards and not sim ply question of circulation,
 The question, shall we continue under the single gold standard, fraudulently foisted upon us by the Shcrman act of 1873, or shall we return to the bimetalic stand ard given us by the fathers of the republic in l792?
 ?. That the three important functions of money are, first, Us Il medium of exchange; second, as n measnre~ of values; third, as a standard of deidrred payments, and that it's most important func- ton in the present issue is that of standard of eaiue.
 8. That the standard of value is that amount of precious metal, :, designated by law, either gold or silver, that the holder of every dollar Of representative money IS ul- timately entitled 10 receive, and with which all deferred payments can be made and future or time contracts be performed, and have their present value estimated.
 l. That bimetalism does not mean the concurrent circulation oi the two metals designated as the standard of value, but simply the free coinage of both on eqVat tern,S, so that the debtor shall have the right to pay his debt with either.
 ,. That with this option upon the part of the debtor. if at any time the law designated amount of one of these metals should be worth slightly less than the other, the option exercised by debtors 10 pay in the less valuable, would in. crease the demand tor that metal, /, and decrease the demand tor the other, and ,hefehy constantly tend to bring, aud keep, the vaIue of the two upon Il parity, at the ratio designated by law.
 6. That so far from bimetalllsm meaolng the concurrent circulation ot the .'umt of value" coins of both metals, It is not necessary that there should be an actual coinage of either ot such unit coins.
 !. That consequently no sim pie suspension of the coinage of silver dollars could have more ef- feet upon silver as a standard of ralae than could the act of Septem- Der 26, 1890, forbiddlng the furth- CT coinage of geld dollars, have effect to overthrow the gold stand ard, set up by the Sherman act Of 1873.
 8. That the act ot April ?, l792, made silver d standard of value by declaring that dollars of the valne of Spanish milled dollar, con- taining 37l IA grains of pure silver. should be the unit of value, and that this provision ot that act re- mained in full force until the Sher- man act of 1873 made gold the sole standard of value by declaring that the gold dollar tat the stand ard weight of 25.s grains shall be the unit of ralue."
