A LETTER BY EX-GOVERNOR FISHBAcK,
OF ARKANSAS.

"Why has silver "depreciated to
50 cents in the dollar?" and how
can the law restore it to a Ioo-cent
dollar?
A witty Jew once said in my
presence that Moses got up the first
corner on beef of which history
gives an account. HE bought up
all the beef cattle and then passed
law forbidding the people to use
swine's flesh, and made millions
out of the rise of beef" Even a
Io-year old school boy ought to see
tina. under such law beef would
go up and bacon go down. Not
that the law directly fixes the value
of either, but by destroying the de-
mand for one and increasing the
demand for the other. While law
cannot fix values it can create or
destroy either demand or. supply.
For untold ages prior to 1893 all
the great commercial nations used
two metals as redemption money
(except England for short time)
One was gold and one was silver.
In 1873 and 1874 the great nations
destroyed silver as a redemption
money. Thus was destroyed the
almost unlimited demand for silver
for this purpose and increasing the
demand tor gold. Of course and
inevitably, under the law of demand
and supply, silver went down and
gold went up, and now gold-stand-
ard men take advantage of this
necessary result of their own wrong
to distredit silver. And during all
the ages that both metals were used
as redemption or real money their
relative values, no matter what
their relative supplies, did not
vary more than three points, while
during the twenty-three years since
the demand for silver was cut down
the ratio has changed from 151l to
I to 81 toI.
All that is necessary to restore
their ancient ratio is to restore the
ancient demand for silver as re.
demption money.
This historical test proves another
thing. 1t shows that a standard
composed by any one metal cannot
possibly be as stable as standard
composed of two metals. The
reason is obvious.
When we have a standard COM
posed of only one metal, every
Huctuation III the supply of that
metal, whether resulting from the
output of the miners or from the
cornering processes of bankers and
brokers, necessarily provides cor
responding fluctuation i'll prices,
and the burdens of debtors and tax
payers and producers, as is the case
now.
On the other hand, when we had
a standard composed of two metals
and the supply of either increased
or diminished people who needed
money to pay debts or embark in
enterprises or for any other of the
many uses for which none, is
needed naturally sought tor the
cheaper and most easily obtained.
This increased the demand for this
metal and lessened the demand for
the other. Thus under the simple
law of demand and supply the
values of the two were brought to
an equilibrium about a fixed point
or ratio, which history proves to
have been about r5H to 1, which
was the ratio established by France.
But in the face of history it is
claimed that this country could not
maintain any ratio by itselfunaided
by otheu countries.

and bullion in the whole world. So
if all the gold and silver in the
world were dumped into the United
States it would not pay cash for one
years output of our factories by
nearly 81 900, 900, 900.
But this is not all. We transport
by rail alone 90, 1000, 900 tons of
freight more than all the rest of the
world combined transports by rail
and water both.
We produce $500, 900, 900 more
of agricultural products than any
other nation on the globe.
Now, if you add to our manufac-
turers, our transportation business
by rail and water, our agricultural
products and Our real estate trans
fers, our mineral products, and all
of Our other vast, varied and rapidly
increasing business, all the gold
and silver in the world used as
money and bullion would not pay
cash for 10 per cent. of the business
OF this one country. Any share of
these metals which this country can
possibly obtain will not pay one per
cent.
Yet France, which is only a
second-rate power, that manufac-
lures less than half as much as
Great Britain and less than one
fourth as much as our country, a
nation which could be carved out of
the single state of Texas, and leave
territory enough to make nearly
eight states as large as Massachu-
setts-this comparatively little
France for thirty-nine years from
1884 and 1873, controlled the price
of silver all over the civilized world
by opening her mints to the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at 15H to I. And this, too,
while the two creates nations of the
globe-the United States and Great
Britain had different monetary
systems from France. England had
silver demonetized, while the United
States had ratio of I6 to1.
No man who had silver in Lon
don or New York would take less
than he could get at the French
mint minus cost of transport. This
is the reason that at the time silver
was demonetized in 1873 it was
worth 3 per cent. more than gold,
because the French mint gave this
much more for it than we did at
Our ratio of I6 to I.
Notwithstanding this conclusive
experience some of our "business
men" are frightened out of their
wits less this country may not be
able to accomplish what little France
did so successfully and for so manv
years.
Besides, to wait for England to
help us to restore silver is as idle
nonsense as it would have been for
our fathers to have waited for her
consent to our independence.
We must force her, as we easily
can, to an international agreement,
by making it her interest. The
United States government and its
people owe England and Europe
several thousand millions. If we
makes these debts payable in gold
or silver, at our option, as prior to
1873, and open our mints to the
free and unlimited coinage of both
metals, it will be the interest of our
creditors to have the silver, in
which we would pay the greater
part of them, as valuable as auv
other money in the world. This
could be done by an international
agreement to restore the unlimited
demand, which they DESTROYED IN

TROLLEY SPEED ORDINANCE LOST

SUIT TO ENJOIN THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
TROLLEY SPEED ORDINANCE LOST.
Judge Cullen gave A decision in the Supreme Court
yesterday In favor OF the city OF Brooklyn In the
suit Of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company
to enjoln the er forcement OF the trolley speed limit
resolution OF the Common Council. While the Judge
holds that the ordinance. far II limits the
speed IN the first twenty-five wards to eight miles
hour Is not bic. he says that the pro-
vision limiting the rate Of speed to six miles IN
hour within d distance OF one and one-half miles
from the City Hall or TWO miles from the Broad
way ferries is justly subject to criticism"
He thinks that in large part Of the territory the
speed might reasonably be restricted as the orii-
nance commands but he says: The condition OF
other parts Of the territory is substantially similar
o the territory lying beyond the prescribed limits
The ordinance ~ not framed with that dscrimna-
tion which should have marked Ii. But granting
that. to my mind, "A better form OF ordinance could
have been enacted. II must be borne In mind that
the original discretion IS vested In the Common
Council, In the courts. To justify the inter-
OF the courts IL must appear that there has
been a plain abuse OF discretion and that the action
Of the Common Council IL unreasonable not merely
that has erred in the disposition OF a question
that admits OF a fair difference OF opinion Tested
by this rule cannot say that this provision OF the
ordinance Is void. but the plaintiff must be left TO
