Failing Prices

Falling prices lead to lower wages
and enforced idleness, and for such loss
in income the wage Garner is not by any
means compensated, for retail prices, for
reasons that are Obvious, fall but slow
Iy, and not so far or fast as the income
OF the wage-earner. So the wage-earner
is impoverished by falling prices, even
though nominal rates of wages may be
kept from falling commensurately with
the fall in wholesale prices. And the
result of this is, of course, that neither
farmer nor manufacturer can reduce
the cost of production proportionately
with a fall of prices of their products,
such as is inseperable from an approach
ing measure of value. In ability to re-
tiuce interest charges, taxes and rents
at all, and inability to cut wages as
fast as wholesale prices fall. make this
out of the question. Consequently, fall
ing prices cut into the profits of the
farmer and manufacturer. and thus lead
TO curtailed production, the result of
which must be enforced idleness to
many wage-earners. and enforced idle
ness for many soon leads through the
struggle for work 10 lower wages for

Advocates of the gold standard are
constantly referring to the silver dollar
now authorized by law as 5O-cent dol
lar 1t is a part of the legal currency:
it is a legal tender; no man to-day can
refuse to take it (unIess he has made
gold contract beforehand) as fuii dol
lar in payment for merchandise or any
debt.
To be sure, it contains silver bullion
worth at present market price, meas
ured by gold, So cents only. The silver
party does not propose to further re-
ducc this amount of silver to make sill
yer bullion worth less than So cents.
What the silver ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ing honest money men of all parties
proposes is to make that silver dollar
worth 100 cents-to restore our silver
dollar to the position and value it had
in 1873.
Is it dishonest to make the silver dol
lar which every wage-earner 3 now
compelled to take and use fully equal to
the miser's or the bankers gold dol
lar? Under the present law contracts
can be made and are made by capital
lists, by railroad companies and bankers
requiring payments in gold and so dis
crediting the silver dollar. The gov
ernmcnt itself discriminates against
silver by paying its own coin obliga-
lions in gold only. In this way silver is
deprecated.
At the same time the double duty put
upon gold has forced gold bullion up in
the markets of the world. Here again

ABUSE AND MIssTATEMENr.

How the GoIdttes Demonstrate Their In
capacity to support Their Claims.
1t is generally considered one of the
essentials of fair and honorable debate
to state your adversary's position and
to meet it candidly with such argu.
ments and facts as bear upon your side
of the case. To do otherwise is to dem
onstrate either ones incapacity or dis.
honesty. The financial question cannot
be settled by ridicule, by denunciation
and by misstatement. When the advc-
Gates of gold monometallism assert that
their position is inlpregnabIe and the
free siiverites call for the proof, how are
they answered? They are answered
first with a prophecy. They are told
that there will be a panic if free silver
goes into effect. Of course, the man
who predicts panic can no more be ye-
futed than the man who stands on the
street corner and predicts a rain. The
future can only be surmised from tho
past, and can never be accurately fore.
told. That is left to Deity. The gold
monometallist asserts that the proposed
change in standard would produce
panic, but though standards have been
changed many times in the past he can
not point out single change which has
caused Il panic. The dump of silver is
another prophecy which has smai! basis
to go upon. The silver money of France
and Germany is circulating in those
countries at par, although the metallic
value has fallen nearly half. There
would be neither rhyme nor reason in
dumping" this silver upon US. The
probabilities are entirely against such
an assumption as that the silver of the
world would flow in upon us.-Memphis
