agree as to what Wiz be the conSe-
Iquence OF the adoption by the United
States OF their favorite measure. The
moro intelligent know that il is TuIpos-
slble. by LAW, 10 give TO silver bullion,
or silver coin. a local value in che Unit
ed States; and therefore, Mr.. Bryan,
who must be regarded as the official in
terpreter OF the free silver dogma, as
sertS his belief that the unlimited coin
lage OF legal tender SILVER by the United
States alone, would increase the value
OF silver bullion, which is today 81
cents per ounce, TO 81 %. and he asserts
his belief that under unlimited coinage
the silver dollar, containing 4l2is
grains OF standard silver, coined by the
AUTHORITY Of the United States, would
be OF equal acceptabtlity and value with
the dollar containing . $40 grains of
standard gold in all the markets Of the
world.
NO SUPPORT IN EXPERIENCE.
ut is something that this opinion has
no support in the experience Of man
kind 1t is enough Tor present purposes
to say il has no foundation other than
the confident assertions of those who
share in the belief. No party in the
country ever undertook 50 much as do
OF silver. They not only undertake 70
maintain commercial parity in value OF
about asa, ,oH silver dollars already
coined by the United States under the
authority OF the acts of February 2S
1873, and July "A, 1880, and OF all silver
dollars that hereafter may be coined.
but they assume the task of advancing
| the value of silver coinage Of all the ma
tons of the world To an equal acoepta-
biltty and value with coins of gold. II
the expectations of such advocates or
free coinage OF silver are realized, 1t
would be difficult upon their own prem
ises to perceive what would be gained
by those who expect cheap money
Accepting their claim, that under
free coinage the dollar OF silver would
become OF equal acceptabllity and value
and eqeual power IN the markets ana
| in the payment of debts throughout the
civilized world, the silver dollar would
| then be as difficult to procure as the
dollar of gold is now. They complain
now that the dollar OF gold has too
much purchasing power and is too dlf-
fcult TO obtain
But the real expectation OF the
great body OF supporters OF the free
coinage OF silver. and one much more
III, harmony with the experience OF man
kind, is, that the unlimited coinage OF
silver would give to the country a de-
pr,eHated and cheaper dollar. which
would enhance nominal values and be
used in the payment Of debts. out would
be offended and followed by the ruin
OF all industries. the Ges TuctioO of pub
lic and private credit, and irreparaoie
m{schiefs.
