Silver Exports and their Eject

Eor the ten months of the present
hscal year, or from July /, '95, to
| April 30. SO, the United States nel
exports OF silver amounted to $3S, $50.
72o. This country being the largest
prcuucer, is, of course the largest ex-
porter of silver, and III reason ought
10 be most concerned in keeping up
It's price, but as matter of fact no
nation has worked SO diligently and
elfectualiy to reduce its price. The
| world must have all the silver pro-
duccd, the greatest part Of it is, in
TACT, hungry for silver, uses il. the
arts Or coins at ohce all it can get
hold of, and if its price had not been
reduced by legislation the foregoing
exports would have been nearly
double their present value, which
would have been great relief to the
country in its present sore need. Bat
this is not tue worst feature of our
silver exports, they become mighty
weapon OF our own supplying for our
own destruction. That silver, made
SO cheap when valued in gold. is
bought by English importers of agri-
cultural products at it's gold price,
sent to the silver using competitors of
our farmers, where it is coined into
nearly double its gold value and used
at lis new value to buy those pro
ducts, which may he so per cent
higher than our prices and yet leave
the English spectators a magnificent
profit. Compared with all other
values silver coin in silver countries
is as valuable as it ever was, its pur-
chasing power is unchanged, but the
United States is furnishing the silver
to make the coin at about half it's
former price, and all the profit that
accrues to the British Importer of
fam products by reason of our action
comes out of our farmers in their
competition with the world, which
reacts upon every other class in the
country except the American part
ners OF the British spectators, in
whose behalf the gold standard cru
SADIE is being fought. History fails to
parallel SUCH colossal example of
national self abuse as this country
has been and still is guilty of.
